Lyrics

(Dee, you poppin' your shit, nigga)

Acknowledging someone named Dee who is expressing confidence.

(Rjayy, slam this nigga)

Requesting Rjayy to play the music aggressively.


Made sure you was straight, but you ain't care, you was just gettin' over

Expressing disappointment that despite helping, the person cared more about taking advantage.

That petty money don't even excite me, guess I'm gettin' older

Indicating that small amounts of money no longer interest the speaker, possibly due to maturity.

I think I need to incubate right now, my heart keep gettin' colder

Feeling the need to isolate oneself to cope with emotional numbness or detachment.

The more you buy, the cheaper this shit get, my prices gettin' lower

Stating that buying more leads to lower prices, reflecting on the economics of the speaker's lifestyle.

The more he talk, the more flaws I see inside his character

Observing that the more someone talks, the more flaws become apparent in their character.

I'ma leave his mama with some tears when they bury him

Intending to cause emotional pain to someone's mother when they pass away.

All this water on me, I should live in an aquarium

Symbolizing wealth through the mention of an aquarium, emphasizing excess.

My son doin' push-ups and he three, I'm just preparin' him

Boasting about the speaker's young son engaging in physical activity at an early age.


Gotta mask the hurt, I need the strongest weed to cover it up

Using substances to mask emotional pain and hurt.

Glad I know my worth, I need the biggest check to sign me up

Asserting awareness of one's value and demanding significant compensation.

This flavor might be gone tomorrow, so today, I'ma buy it up

Emphasizing the transient nature of opportunities, urging immediate action.

I'ma roll an opp inside this paper and fire him up

Metaphorically planning to eliminate an enemy by rolling them into a joint and igniting it.

It's crazy how a nigga think it's cool to cross his own partner

Commenting on the betrayal of close associates, considering it unacceptable.

I done seen a nigga get in a shootout with his own father

Recalling witnessing a violent conflict involving a father and son.

I done seen a nigga put his hands on his own mama

Noting instances of domestic violence within families.

We gon' slide broad day on niggas, we some real shottas

Expressing readiness to engage in violent retaliation during daylight hours.

They gon' tell as soon as they hear shots, they some real coppers

Expecting others to inform authorities upon hearing gunshots.

We gon' bring that boom to they block and hop out with them choppers

Planning a surprise attack on rivals with powerful weapons.

I done took so many losses

Reflecting on the numerous personal losses experienced.

I done seen too many niggas put in coffins

Recalling the impact of witnessing death and funerals.

Got robbed when I was green, I took it like a man

Describing a past robbery incident and responding with resilience.

You can't feed a nigga for too long 'cause he gon' bite your hand

Warning about the potential betrayal of those being supported for too long.

Niggas come around for no reason, they ain't even addin' value

Criticizing people who add no value but still seek attention.

Sackin' up some Za' while lil' Cyrus watchin' Caillou

Engaging in routine activities while being mindful of responsibilities to a child.

I was on the road, my girl was callin' like, "I miss you"

Recalling a partner expressing feelings of missing the speaker during a trip.

She told me, "Keep that Glock in case you run into some issues"

Receiving advice to carry a firearm for self-protection.

I really came from poverty, I made it out

Affirming the speaker's rise from poverty to a better situation.

They used to show me love, but they hate me now

Noticing a change in attitude towards the speaker as success increases.

How the fuck that work? I guess niggas confused, huh?

Expressing confusion about people's inconsistent behavior.

They was only around for the money, I'm feelin' used now

Realizing that some relationships were based solely on financial gain.

Ain't no love in these streets, that shit is gone

Declaring the absence of love in the speaker's environment.

Better keep that fire to protect yourself and home

Advising to be armed for protection in the dangerous surroundings.


Made sure you was straight, but you ain't care, you was just gettin' over

Repeating the disappointment in someone who took advantage without concern.

That petty money don't even excite me, guess I'm gettin' older

Reiterating disinterest in trivial amounts of money due to personal growth.

I think I need to incubate right now, my heart keep gettin' colder

Expressing a need for isolation and inner reflection as emotions become colder.

The more you buy, the cheaper this shit get, my prices gettin' lower

Repeating the economic aspect of the speaker's lifestyle, emphasizing lowering prices.

The more he talk, the more flaws I see inside his character

Observing that continued conversation reveals more flaws in someone's character.

I'ma leave his mama with some tears when they bury him

Intending to cause emotional pain to someone's mother when they pass away (repeated).

All this water on me, I should live in an aquarium

Emphasizing wealth and excess through the metaphor of living in an aquarium (repeated).

My son doin' push-ups and he three, I'm just preparin' him
