Lyrics

I'm the muhfuckin brown boy

The singer identifies proudly as a person of South Asian descent.

(sing it like)

Instruction to sing with emphasis or passion.


Young kid in the city

A young individual navigating the urban environment.

Bombay looking pretty

Describing Mumbai (formerly Bombay) as attractive or captivating.

Big dreams got him dizzy

Having ambitious aspirations causing a sense of disorientation.

On the chase like Vinnie

Pursuing goals fervently, akin to Vinnie, likely referencing someone determined or relentless.

Young kid in the city

Reiteration of being a young individual in Mumbai with grand aspirations and determined pursuit.

Bombay looking pretty

-

Big dreams got him dizzy

-

I'm on the chase like Vinnie

-

Born with the wings, no halo (halo)

Feeling naturally empowered without needing angelic guidance.

Always making magic even with the play-doh (play-doh)

Consistently creating wonder or success even with limited resources (like Play-Doh).

Every minute I’m working oh where’d the day go? (where it go)

Time passes quickly while working hard.

Kill a vice with the spice that’s a KO (KO)

Overcoming challenges decisively, likening it to a knockout punch.

Brown boy tell me where you from boy

Asking about the singer's cultural or ethnic origins.

Nobody doing what I’m doing where I’m from boy

Claiming uniqueness in accomplishments from the singer's place of origin.

Name another who killing the game, feeling the same

Challenging others to name someone equally successful and relatable.

Every party I run into now is its fun boy (ok)

Every social event is enjoyable for the singer.


Until she says 'can I get your snapchat'? (can I get it?)

Encountering attention from others and feeling good about oneself.

I’m like baby near you I’d wear a hazmat

-

Yeah they flipping like bottles yea now I’ve had that

-

Look in the mirror I like the sound of that crack

-

Only 20 I’m boutta start an empire

Expressing ambition to build a successful enterprise, receive admiration, and fulfill desires.

Fans be telling me you should never retire

-

I’m dreaming of things I thought I’d never require

-

And now I got a long long list of desires

-

Young kid in the city (city)

Reiteration of being a young person in Mumbai with big dreams and relentless pursuit.

Bombay looking pretty (looking pretty like)

-

Big dreams got him dizzy (got me dizzy)

-

On the chase like Vinnie (Vinnie)

-

Fuck a label they say they only want gully when I’m the first of my kind call that a dynasty

Rejecting the typical industry representation, claiming a groundbreaking legacy.

Now everybody keep talking that kid just made it on bars when every single release give me anxiety

Receiving acknowledgment despite personal struggles and anxiety with each release.

I talk about it so openly yea it’s driving me

Discussing personal challenges openly, causing emotional distress.

And don’t pretend that you chasing something that’s irony

Criticizing irony in pretending to chase something while knowing it's unattainable.

I found myself in the music then I got lost in it

Discovering oneself through music and finding contentment despite societal pressures.

Now I’m smiling back at society

-

From the from the dark

Emerging from a difficult situation, appearing distinct, and refusing to assist others in a similar predicament.

Swimming with the sharks

-

My clothes looking like the shit they wear on mars

-

So I made a mark

-

Don’t ask me for a spark

-

She walking up to me yeah that's my favorite part (And then she say)

Enjoying attention from someone appealing.


Can I get your snapchat?

Similar to earlier lines, encountering attention and feeling confident about oneself.

I’m like baby near you I’d wear a hazmat

-

They flipping like bottles yea now I’ve had that

-

Look in the mirror I like the sound of that - CRACK CRACK

-

Young kid in the city (city)

Repetition emphasizing the singer's identity, dreams, and pursuit in Mumbai.

Bombay looking pretty (looking pretty like)

-

Big dreams got him dizzy (got me dizzy)

-

On the chase like Vinnie (vinnie)

-

Young kid in the city (young kid)

-

Bombay looking pretty (looking pretty like)

-

Big dreams got him dizzy (got me dizzy)

-

On the chase like

-

On the chase like Vinnie

Continuing the pursuit tenaciously, likening it to Vinnie's relentlessness.
