Lyrics
He's lookin' mad
Expressing that someone appears angry
Think I'm a fad?
Questioning if the speaker is considered a passing trend
You better look up the history
Advising to research and understand the speaker's history
You're watching my pockets, I gotta be honest I peeped and you seem like a bitch to me
Noticing someone scrutinizing the speaker's finances and expressing skepticism about their character
It's not what you love, you should just quit
Suggesting that the listener should give up on what they love
Trust me I'll save you the misery
Assuring that the speaker will spare the listener from misery
While you were at bars I was up writing bars even though I knew no one was listening
Highlighting dedication to craft despite lack of initial audience
Now my wrist glistening 24 carrots I feel like a rabbit who hit the garden
Describing the speaker's successful status with expensive jewelry
Last time we filled up the House of Blues, next we gon' have to fill up the Garden
Recalling a past performance and aspiring for larger venues
I see you talkin', I beg your pardon?
Responding to someone talking and seeking pardon
I couldn't hear over what we started
Difficulty hearing due to the speaker's success
I was out chasing the money now I'm back to focus throughout been a real artist
Transition from chasing money to focusing on artistry
In 2013 I was workin a shitty job, in the snow I would take the bus
Recalling a challenging period in 2013 working a difficult job
But I kept the hustle and I looked at being broke and I told him enoughs enough
Emphasizing persistence despite financial struggles
When you've been where I've been and you give what I've given you learn that people are hard to trust
Learning trust issues from life experiences
And I'm from the mental city so it shouldn't be shocking that I'm going fuckin nuts
Attributing mental challenges to the city's influence
To have this ambition and match it with hustle and patience proved itself difficult
Highlighting the difficulty of balancing ambition, hustle, and patience
But I deal with the stress so that me and my family can thrive cause this life isn't typical
Dealing with stress for the sake of family
Stick to my morals and principals,
Commitment to morals and principles
When I'm onstage I feel invincible
Feeling invincible while performing
I got some problems that turned into rituals
Admitting to personal problems turning into habits
I'm smokin heavy, habitual
Regularly smoking, becoming a habit
Don't say none
Repeated emphasis on not saying anything negative
Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Don't say none
-Don't say none
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Don't say none
Emphasizing the message of not saying anything negative
Yeah
Repetition of the message and warnings about speaking negatively
I got the dope make your face numb
-I beat the beat like a bass drum
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-And don't say none
-I was thinking about hitting it like that but I figured, shit, I should just stick to the script
-You know like
-Me and my homies are something to see
-Rolling a joint while I'm spittin' a free
-I been the man since my sun was Capri
-When I was young I was hustlin' the trees
-Now I prefer to just get it legit
-Life is a movie, I write the script
-Do what I can and try not to trip
-When your doin too much, that's when you slip
-I got the juice, some call it the drip and others the sauce, the point: I'm the shit
-Doin way more than staying afloat
-Bout to go fly out tomorrow to the coast
-8am high as hell, coffee, we toast
-I just got offered 3k for a show
-How you get less when you're doin the most?
-I made a way off of telling the truth
-I'm gettin loose like my baby girl's tooth
-Told you I'd do it I'm showing the proof
-Way I do it got the energy to make Stoop Kid wanna jump off his stoop
-I was smoking reggie back in school
-Now I'm rocking Reggie's in the loop
-Ima make some millions with my crew
-Speak it in existence til it's true
-Accruing these gains on most my investments
-That little rap money I ain't impressed with
-One of the greatest I dare you to test it and I haven't even come out with my best shit
-Not one to mess with
-I got anxiety
-Liable to spaz on anyone tryin me
-Im making moves I just do it quietly
-You shouldn't rap if you aren't inspiring
-Don't say none
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Don't say none
-Don't say none
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Don't say none
-Yeah
-I got the dope make your face numb
-I beat the beat like a bass drum
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
-And don't say none
-Thinkin bout gettin smart, better play dumb
Repeating the importance of speaking from the heart
Better come from the heart when you say some
-Better come from the heart when you say some
-Don't say none
Final warning not to say anything negative
