Lyrics

Picture this

Imagining a situation

I’m elevating, still going round in circles

Progressing but feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle

These scars don’t heal with these tinted windows part of the why I’m hurting

Emotional pain remains despite attempts to hide it (metaphorically represented by tinted windows)

Fakest friends, they will not stop till they see a little kid get packed

False friends causing harm until they witness someone vulnerable suffer

I can’t trust no soul when I’m singing for the pros cause when it all ends it’s curtains

Lack of trust in anyone while pursuing success, aware that everything eventually ends

Feelings, man I can’t feel it, living inside these meetings

Numbness to emotions due to a lifestyle consumed by obligations and meetings

And loyalty’s real to the boy so tell me if you won’t ride then leave it

Emphasis on loyalty; questioning commitment from others

People lie and the evil lurking, tell me what’s fake or not

Difficulty in distinguishing truth from falsehood with deceit prevalent

Look, I don’t wanna get laid in box

Not willing to end up confined or limited

You don’t know me better repay them costs

Expecting reimbursement for any investment or effort


On the South-Side never know when it’s time to run

Living in a place where danger is prevalent

Where your heart gets dark and you lose your path cause anything crime get done

Describing a harsh environment where crime is rampant and morality fades

Look, my cake full of smallest pieces but I’ll breaking mine

Struggling with personal issues despite outward success

And I’m signing deals, there’s hope for the future

Optimism about future prospects despite challenges

Cannot be wasting time

Valuing time and avoiding wastage

I get hate from a distance, mandem try me

Receiving negativity from a distance, facing challenges from peers

Man I’m tryna make this work

Striving to make things succeed despite difficulties

Back then I was young and I had no fear

Reflecting on a past fearless but reckless self

I was steady tryna play with dirt

Past tendencies to engage in risky behavior

Trust me, man I never had no heart like any 16 get murked

Previously lacking empathy or emotions, capable of causing harm

Now it’s all about music, rap and singles any 16 get turnt

Now focused on music, transforming past negative energy into positive creativity


Can you hold it out for the moment now?

Asking for patience in a difficult situation

They just tryna get me broken down

Feeling targeted and under pressure

In the danger-zone where there’s broken bounds

Being in a hazardous and boundaryless situation

Stanzas got the potent sounds

Music's verses carry strong emotional weight

Back then they didn’t wanna see me win

Past lack of support turning into recognition of personal victories

I admit I have wins and losses

Admitting both successes and failures

All eyes on me where there weren’t in the different days where a kid had nothing

Attention received now was absent when struggling previously


In a field of battles, ready to escape this place

Ready to leave a difficult situation or environment

I think God put a curse on me but it’s cool cause my heart wasn’t made to break

Acceptance of challenges as part of life, resilient in the face of adversity

Why the world so cold and the people’s hate you, man I gotta deal with pain

Questioning the world's cruelty and dealing with personal suffering

They just looking for ps and some of my relevance, man it don’t feel the same

Feeling a shift in how others perceive and treat the speaker

And they say that I’m changing, smiles that I’m faking, where do you hear this from?

Responding to baseless accusations of changing demeanor or personality

Got the purest heart with the darkest mind and you can hear this on songs

Having a pure heart despite inner struggles reflected in music

Fakest people tryna pretend it don’t matter if a kid still hurt

Noting the insincerity of some people despite personal pain

And I’m baring in mind that I came here alone, that’s how I’m gonna leave this Earth.

Understanding life's solitary nature, anticipating departing as arrived
