Lyrics
I had to take a break
I needed a break
But look who's back now
I have returned
Smoking RAW
Smoking RAW (potentially a reference to a brand of rolling papers)
When I was young we watched smack down
Childhood memories of watching wrestling (SmackDown)
Friday nights, open mic's it's a wrap now
Reflecting on past Friday nights and open mic experiences
True religions and a T shirt saying tap out
Wearing True Religion jeans and a T-shirt with "tap out" written on it
It wasn't me
Denying responsibility for something
It was another M
Attributing an action to another person with the initial "M"
She do not know this guy but she I love with him
A person falling in love with someone unfamiliar
I was nice guy
Describing oneself as a nice guy
They tried to snake me, that's a nice try
Facing betrayal, but remaining resilient
Running shit, runny nose they going to wipe mine
Metaphorical reference to success and challenges
I can't let this talent waste in this life time
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting talent
She tell me I ain't shit baby like wise
Receiving criticism but maintaining self-worth
I was a young buck, blame the city we come from
Blaming the city for shaping the speaker as a young person
She want love I wanna have fun
Contrast in desires between love and fun
Low life's with they cash up
Reference to individuals with a low lifestyle and their financial status
Now everybody want the access
Shift in perception—now everyone wants access
We live the dream and now they ask us
Reflecting on living the dream and others asking about it
Call me on my phone
Inviting communication when back in the city
When I'm back in the city
Repetition emphasizing the call to be contacted upon return
When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
-Broken hearts and dollar signs that I found but don't make me
Mentioning emotional pain and financial success
Looking to the sky asking how long this will take me
Questioning the duration of challenges and expressing identity
Switching on my kin more like them, and it ain't me
-You know that I'm more than just some local dude
-She say that she miss me but I only miss the older you
Missed past versions of someone
Always end up under me unless I'm over you
-I was cruising down the drive
Recalling past experiences with small amounts of money
Think of things we do when you was mine
-With pennies' nickel and the dimes
-Now I'm back in the city
Returning to the city
But I know how it is
Awareness of reality and potential trouble
Might start packing it with me
-Give them 25 now they asking for 50
Dealing with demands and references to gym practices
Like they was in the gym, practicing with me
-I always I keep it a hundred
Being honest and promising more expression
I said what I wanted
-Ain't said it all but I'm gonna
-No more running away
Resolution to stop running away from challenges
No more running away
-No more running away
-No more running away
-The going to ask me to stay
Expectation of being asked to stay
Call me on my phone
Repetition of the call to be contacted upon return
When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
-When I'm back and I'm back and I'm back now
Emphasizing the return to the city and the call to be contacted
Call me, when I'm back
-Call me, when I'm back in the city, when I'm back in the city, when I'm back in the city
-Call me
-When I'm back and I'm back and I'm back now
-When I'm back in the city, call me
-When I'm back in the city, call me, call me
Repetition of the call to be contacted
Call me on my phone
Final repetition of the call to be contacted upon return
When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-When I'm back in the city
-Call me on my phone
