Lyrics
I just wanna thank God for the life that I got
I express gratitude to God for the life I have.
Seen a lot of pain, yeah, I seen a lot
I've experienced a significant amount of pain in my life.
Coulda copped that Lamborghini off the lot
I could have bought a Lamborghini, but material wealth isn't everything.
But money isn't everything
Money is not the ultimate value or goal.
Money isn't the reason that I sing
My motivation for singing isn't driven by money.
I got a lot of chains, got a lot of bling
Despite having many chains and flashy items, money doesn't define my existence.
But money isn't everything
Reiterating that money isn't everything.
No, money isn't everything
Emphasizing again that money isn't the sole focus.
I just wanna thank God for the life that I got
Expressing gratitude to God once more for the life I lead.
Seen a lot of pain, yeah, I seen a lot
Acknowledging the pain I've witnessed and experienced.
Coulda copped that Lamborghini off the lot
Similar to line 3, reflecting on potential material acquisitions that aren't everything.
But money isn't everything
Reiterating that money doesn't hold the highest value.
Money isn't the reason that I sing
Stating that money isn't the driving force behind my music.
Yeah

Yo, this motherfucker 6ix, man
Shoutout to the collaborator 6ix who played a significant role in the song.
He played me this verse I had from like ten years ago
Reflecting on an old verse from a decade ago, deciding to use it now.
So I thought I'd do it now
Explaining the decision to include the old verse in the current context.
Ayy, look to my left and see my brother sellin' drugs
Observing the challenging situations faced by family members.
Look to my right and see my sister's fuckin' thugs
Noting the contrast between difficult life circumstances.
Ain't it funny how this life go? One moment, you're in the dark
Reflecting on the unpredictability of life's journey.
But when that light glow, it's like you're seein' for the first time
Highlighting a transformative moment when things become clearer.
As I penetrate your mind like a burst of ammunition, I was shot out of a nine
Using vivid imagery to describe the impact of his words on the listener.
I'm givin' everything I got, so, yeah, it better be my time
Determined to give his all, hoping it's the right time for success.
They said I'd never make it, that's the reason I still rhyme now
Overcoming doubters who said he wouldn't succeed.
Feelin' like Annie singin' 'bout the Sun
Feeling a sense of hope, akin to the optimism in the musical "Annie."
No food in my stomach, hopin' that tomorrow gon' come, yeah
Describing a difficult period with no food, anticipating a brighter tomorrow.
Maybe it won't, but I pray it will
Expressing hope for a better future despite challenges.
'Cause drug dealers on the corner, they finna spray you at will
Highlighting the danger and violence present in his environment.
And this music is a dream that I plan to fulfill
Viewing music as a dream he aims to achieve.
Starin' at the morgue through my windowsill
Contemplating life's fragility by looking at a morgue.
In the beginnin', I was itchin', no, I couldn't sit still
Recalling an energetic and restless phase at the beginning of his career.
But when you got this much heat, it's too hard to chill
Acknowledging the difficulty of staying calm when you have a lot to offer.
I just wanna thank God for the life that I got
Repeating gratitude to God for the current life situation.
Seen a lot of pain, yeah, I seen a lot
Reiterating the acknowledgment of pain experienced.
Coulda copped that Lamborghini off the lot

But money isn't everything
Stating again that money is not the main motivation for singing.
Money isn't the reason that I sing
Reiterating that despite external appearances, money is not the driving force.
I got a lot of chains, got a lot of bling
Emphasizing the superficial nature of material possessions.
But money isn't everything
Repeating the message that money isn't the ultimate goal.
No, money isn't everything
Reiterating the statement that money isn't everything.
