Lyrics
I don’t say much to the fakers
I avoid engaging with fake people.
They gone see me later, when shining like a laser
Fakes will notice me later when I achieve success and stand out.
Everybody now feel like strangers
Current relationships feel distant or unfamiliar.
Ain't got much in common, unless the family’s getting paper
We share little in common unless it involves financial success for the family.
All that pretending stop defending it
Stop pretending and defending false personas.
I get tunnel vision when I’m handling my business
I focus intensely on my business, blocking out distractions.
Wish I had money in my pockets
Expressing a desire for money in pockets.
It’d probably burn holes in my jeans
If I had money, it might be conspicuous or problematic.
Wish it ran like a faucet
Desire for wealth to flow abundantly like a faucet.
You know exactly what I mean
Emphasizing understanding of a shared concept.
Hope I don’t slip up, in a pine box
Fear of a premature death, possibly in a coffin made of pine.
Tell the devil go and get lost
Rejecting negative influences or temptations, telling the devil to go away.
Matter fact he can turn and kick rocks
Suggesting that even the devil can leave and find another place.
Then I moonwalk back to the spot
Confidently returning to a favorable position, symbolized by moonwalking.
Wanna feel like NASA
Expressing a desire to feel as accomplished as NASA.
Probably had jet fuel in my pampers
Humorous reference to jet fuel in childhood, possibly indicating early aspirations.
But I can’t find no answers
Despite success, struggling to find answers or meaning.
No, No, Gotta find them answers
Emphasizing the urgency to find answers.
Soon as I solve this equation
Upon solving a problem, planning to achieve success and ascend like a spaceship.
We gone take off like a spaceship
Showing success to others and staying humble afterward.
Show my people that we making it
Remaining inconspicuous or grounded after achieving success.
Then I’m staying low like basements
Repetition of the theme of avoiding fake individuals.
I don’t say much to the fakers
Reiterating avoidance of fake people.
They gone see me later, when shining like a laser
Expectation that fakes will notice when success becomes apparent.
Everybody now feel like strangers
Feeling a sense of estrangement from others.
Ain't got much in common, unless the family’s getting paper
Little in common with others unless it involves family success.
All that pretending stop defending it
Encouraging others to stop pretending and defending false images.
I get tunnel vision when I’m handling my business
Focusing on business with a narrowed perspective.
Whole crew be too strong
Expressing strength and unity within the group.
Step up to us, feel the pressure, fold up like a futon
Others who challenge the group will feel pressure and fold easily.
Crunched up like a crouton
Using similes to describe the consequences for those who challenge the group.
Need cheddar, cheese like two ton
Expressing the need for substantial financial success.
To the power of one hundun
Highlighting the power and strength of the group.
Feeling like a split atom
Feeling small or divided, emphasizing vulnerability.
I don’t say much to the fakers
Repeating the theme of avoiding fake people.
They gone see me later, when shining like a laser
Reiterating the expectation that fakes will notice success later on.
Everybody now feel like strangers
Reiterating the sense of estrangement from others.
Ain't got much in common, unless the family’s getting paper
Little in common with others unless it involves family success.
All that pretending stop defending it
Encouraging others to stop pretending and defending false images.
I get tunnel vision when I’m handling my business
Focusing on business with a narrowed perspective.
