Lyrics
Check
Expression of confirmation or acknowledgment.
Yeah
Confirmation or agreement.
'98, the year my ass was born they should've dug your grave
Reference to the year of the artist's birth, suggesting a challenging time.
Mama gave me life and blood, to her I owe the pearly gates
Gratitude and acknowledgment to the mother for giving life.
They could never catch me, I'm quicker than the early birds
Asserting resilience and agility, avoiding capture or limitation.
That's why I always hold the worm and take your food right out your plate
Metaphorically, being quick and assertive in taking opportunities.
'99, a year aged just like fine wine
Reflection on the artist's growth and maturity in 1999.
It's my time, Papa had my back before I had a spine
Gratitude towards the father for support and protection.
They was tryna shake me but they couldn't stir my confidence
Unshakable confidence in the face of challenges.
Destined for the greatness, baby Meesh was moving monuments
Destined for greatness, making a significant impact.
'00's, same surroundings, me and crew we ride the deepest
Continuation of the artist's journey with companions.
Played around with cutie pies, took their hearts and all their peaches
Playful experiences with romantic interests.
Strike like laryngitis, hit the mic and leave 'em speechless,
Expressing impactful and speechless performances.
Shedding hoes like leaves up off the trees in autumn, 'tis the season
Metaphor of shedding unnecessary connections.
"Mr. I'm the shit" that's why you smell me from a distance
Confident self-perception, with a touch of arrogance.
Could always do hello, but no goodbyes, that's why she miss me
Emphasizing a reluctance to say goodbye, leaving an impression.
Always on the road, I'm on a roll, it's back to business
Constantly on the move, focused on career goals.
'Cuz these fans can never wait, never complacent, always drifting to another thing
Acknowledging the demanding nature of fans and the industry.
And I ain't tryna be just another fling
Desire for a meaningful and lasting connection.
Another ring went out the window when I went chasing rings
Reference to sports success and the pursuit of excellence.
Better make it ring or they'll never hear your name again
Emphasizing the importance of making an impact.
Never put up any less than 100's, Wilt Chamberlain
Commitment to giving one's best effort, drawing a sports analogy.
And I ain't tryna be no lame again
Rejecting a return to a less successful or unfavorable state.
Ain't tryna go back to, "oh shit I'm sorry, what's your name again?"
Aversion to forgettable encounters or relationships.
Milan, say that shit twice and make it rain again
Using the artist's name as a symbol of success and prosperity.
I swear shit won't ever be the same again
A declaration of irreversible change and growth.
But now it's 2018, no wasting my time I'm tryna make it
A shift to the year 2018, with a focus on achieving goals.
From the studio created in the basement to the stages
Evolution from humble beginnings in a basement to public stages.
Every single line put me adjacent to the greatest
Every effort aligns the artist with greatness.
Feeling impatient, hypochondriac, the doctor and the patient
Impatience and ambition in pursuing success.
Never got complacent, tryna lead this generation
A commitment to leadership and positive influence.
From selling a beat with words to manifesting our truest greatness
Evolution from producing beats to manifesting true greatness through words.
Perennial, centennial, millennial flows
References to different generations and their characteristics.
Drinking Henny till every penny of my 2 cents shows
Indulgence in celebration, with a reference to a popular drink.
Talk a dollar and a dream then I got 50 to go
Expressing aspirations and progress in financial terms.
50 more hoes tryna fit the backseat of the Camino
A playful reference to romantic encounters.
I do this shit with more ease than Kobe shooting free throws
Confidence in handling challenges, using a basketball analogy.
Don't freeze yo, step wrong and end up just like D-Rose
Caution against mistakes that could lead to a negative outcome.
That's washed up if you ain't feel me first
Emphasizing the importance of being understood and appreciated.
I took the gift of life and buried that bitch in a hearse
Symbolic burial of past negativity or challenges.
I do this shit for fun but I still treat it like it's work
Balancing enjoyment and dedication to the artistic craft.
And I'mma RIP it till it read Rest In Peace across the shirt
Commitment to artistic excellence until the end.
Milan
Artist's name as a conclusion and personal signature.
