Lyrics
Yo
Expression of attention or greeting
I wrote this song for people who feel like they ain’t gonna be shit
Addressing those who feel they won't achieve much
But maybe if I put it behind a catchy beat you’ll do something with it so
Suggesting that a catchy beat might inspire action
WHOO!
Expression of excitement
WHOO!
-People say I’ll never be shit
Repetition of the idea that people doubt the speaker's potential
People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m so facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’m too complacent
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
-People say I’ll never be shit
-People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m too facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’ll never be shit
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
-Look, I
Introduction of personal struggle
Got so much baggage I swear that carry on weighs like a thousand pounds
Metaphorical weight of emotional baggage affecting the speaker
And if I checked in the rest of my luggage it might make the plane nose dive right in a mountain town
-I
Emphasizing the fight for a musical future
Fight for my music to secure future with every bar and each metaphor; that’s why they Call it a punchline each line throws a punch when I write it down
Explanation of the term "punchline" in the context of lyrics
Towards
Addressing those who project doubt without taking action
People like you that project all their doubt on my passion cause you never acted on yours
-You even established a course or take any action to build a foundation of happiness for
-All of your life endeavors
-People don’t see me as wise and clever
Perception of the speaker as not wise and clever
They say that the heights that I’m reaching aren’t realistic so they always keep doubting I ain’t gonna listen cause
Ignoring unrealistic doubts about the speaker's goals
People say I’ll never be shit
Repetition of people saying the speaker won't achieve anything
People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m so facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’m too complacent
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
-People say I’ll never be shit
-People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m too facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’ll never be shit
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
-I think it’s funny you say you’re a fan cause I’m different, I write from the heart from a fragile spot
Encounter with a fan suggesting a change in musical style
That I don’t sound like non of these mumble rappers that you bump but you don’t understand a lot
-So I sit there and thank you and dap you up
-Then you say something stupid like “Nevv make a track where you sound more like Gunna or Travis Scott”
-Goddamn, Goddamn
Clarifying that success comes from authenticity
That wasn’t a diss but you think that they made it big cause they just aimed to be someone else
-No their sound was perfected by craft the created by them themselves
Highlighting the importance of original sound creation
So let me just rewind
Expressing individuality and resisting external influence
You’re not a fan of my music type
-You just assume I’m influenced by
-Your shitty ideas to mimic an artist that you do like
-But I’ve been a little different since the pampers and the sippy cups
-And people keep on telling me I gotta learn to divvy up
-My future and my dream and what I think I really will become
-I know that’s life a movie but I’ve never seen a screen or even stepped inside the cinema
-Or recognize that anyone was ever on side
Emphasizing independence and not following the crowd
I never will apologize for all the shit I’ve done
Refusing to apologize for past actions and maintaining determination
Cause they say that I’ll never be shit but the truth is I ain’t ever giving up
-People say I’ll never be shit
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment despite negative opinions
People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m so facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’m too complacent
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
-People say I’ll never be shit
-People say I never see shit through
-People say I’m always dreaming
-It’s the slightest chance your dreams might come true
-People say I’m too facetious
-And that’s the reason why I’m seen so rude
-People say I’ll never be shit
-But none of y’all could even fit these shoes
