Lyrics
Overworked and underpaid
Feeling overworked and not fairly compensated
Tryna get me something made
Striving to acquire something for oneself
Black jacket when the thunder came
Wearing a black jacket when a significant event (thunder) occurred
Talking with my brother Ca leb
Engaging in conversation with a brother named Caleb
Say one of them, we been delayed, but
Referencing a delay experienced by the speaker and someone else
Niggas working, least until some change come
People are working until a change occurs
Late one, first out, obstacles to surmount
Encountering obstacles to overcome
Money to make
Desire or need to earn money
Funny how this shit just jumped on my plate
Surprised at how responsibilities suddenly appeared
Swear I woke up grown, stuck by my lone
Feels mature and responsible, navigating life independently
In the land of the free
Living in a place that prides itself on freedom
Looking for a little meaning
Searching for purpose or significance
I ain't see the precinct, but my bro did
The speaker hasn’t encountered law enforcement, but their brother has
And what my role is, gotta play your part
Understanding the necessity of fulfilling one’s role in life
If them niggas lacking
Encouraging others to improve and raise their standards
Call your king to raise the bar
Dreams are within reach but still distant
Dreams close but they far (yea they far)
Experienced sorrow in the morning, hoping for more
Felt the woe in the morn, hoping for more
Believes their soul is the root cause of their experiences
Said my soul was the cause
Learning and growing from past losses
I'mma grow from the losses
Desiring a share or part of something valuable
Need me a portion, seize is a pawn up
Dealing with insincere or deceitful individuals
Sweeping the floor with these funny cats
Staying focused on where the money can be found
Stuck to where the money at
Asking not to be contacted for irrelevant matters
So don't hit my line weeded what was mine
Capable of understanding hidden meanings or intentions
I could read between the lines
Seeing through the actions of others
Of the shit these niggas do
Observing and understanding the questionable actions of others
Counting on my karma
Believing in the impact of one's actions on their fate
Be the thing that get me through
Confidence in overcoming challenges with the help of personal beliefs
Fighting with these demons
Struggling with personal inner conflicts
But my brothers with me too
Support and solidarity with close friends in facing challenges
Traded in them scraps for a
Exchanging smaller problems for larger, more significant ones
Bigger piece to chew
Seeking a greater challenge or opportunity
Your closed eyes ain't gon'
Being blind to the truth due to personal biases or choices
Never see the truth
Recalling a time when they hoped for financial gain just to buy food
I remember coming home on the 52
Receiving unexpected support or care from family
Wishing for some loot, just to cop some food
Feeling a life-or-death situation concerning education
But auntie had it in the fridge for me
Feeling closer to enemies than to close relatives
School, it was them or me
A reference to being in a challenging environment
Closer to my e-ne-mies than my brothers
Feeling disconnected from close family and more connected to adversaries
In that garden
Metaphorically referring to a difficult or challenging situation
I'm just tryna make it to the morning
Struggling to survive until the morning, metaphorically or literally
(Tryna make it to the morning)
Repeated desire to survive until the morning
I'm just tryna make it to the morning
-(Morning, make it to the morning)
-Yea, I'm just tryna make it to the morning
Continued struggle or effort to endure until morning
