Lyrics
I never went to college, ok I did but I dropped out, too cool for school I guess I passed out.
Expressing non-traditional educational choices, dropping out of college, and a carefree attitude.
The grades weren't the problem it was more the methenamine and showing up to class shit that wasn't my pedigree.
Highlighting personal issues (methenamine) affecting academic performance and a disregard for class attendance.
On the fast track to success in my backpack.
Describing a confident pursuit of success with potential obstacles.
Till one day I just up and quit and had enough and that's that.
A sudden decision to quit and move away from the conventional path.
And looking back it's like the best that ever happened, started rapping now I travel round the world now imagine that.
Reflecting on the positive outcome of choosing a different path—becoming a rapper and traveling.
People told me I was foolish till I showed 'em wrong.
Defying naysayers and proving skeptics wrong through personal success.
All my friends graduated started moving on, and here I sit in the same city I grew up about to blow up and shit I'll probably never leave.
Contrasting with friends who graduated, the artist is content in their hometown despite anticipating success.
But really I just found a way that I can still achieve, cause sitting at a desk pushing papers isn't me.
Discovering an alternative route to success outside the traditional office setting.
I'm born to inspire against the grain I'm admired for acquiring the balls required to not retire.
Expressing a determination to inspire others and persist against societal norms.
Let's go.
A transition to a new section or theme in the lyrics.
I owe myself for all my struggles and all of my pain.
Acknowledging personal challenges and hardships.
I owe myself for all the success that's coming my way.
Recognizing and anticipating future success.
I don't ever wanna walk away, I don't want anyone to feel any blame.
Expressing a desire for positive impact without causing harm or blame.
I just want them to feel entertained with my name in the game.
Aspiring to entertain others and make a mark in the field.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
A transition or emphasis on the following lines.
Life is funny how you're given what you're given and supposed to make a masterpiece outta the scraps.
Commenting on life's unpredictability and the challenge of creating something meaningful from difficult circumstances.
I guess we're all some engineers in this matrix of life, we sharpen our skills but still get inundated with strife.
Comparing life to a matrix, acknowledging the struggle to succeed despite honing skills.
I'm almost positive that we ain't truly supposed to succeed,
Doubting the societal expectation of universal success.
You see the rich people they need people working like me and all the poor people their just left working for free,
Highlighting the exploitation of both rich and poor, emphasizing the artist's refusal to conform.
And meant to scare the middle class into working for cheap and see,
Recognizing dissatisfaction with the status quo and choosing a different path.
I didn't like it so I made my own lane chose to nurture my ambition, I was born to entertain.
Asserting independence and choosing a path based on personal ambition and entertainment.
Now I'm writing for a living and living up out my destiny, I'm focused on my future and the ways to be a better me.
Focusing on a positive future, personal growth, and improvement.
And in my honor I'm working just like my father coming from the rock bottom, I'm counting up every dollar.
Acknowledging a challenging upbringing and striving for financial success.
I'm a blue collar scholar, considered a shot caller, come and holler if you want it with me.
Identifying as a hardworking individual with influence and authority.
I owe myself for all my struggles and all of my pain.
Reiterating the artist's acknowledgment and acceptance of personal struggles.
I owe myself for all the success that's coming my way.
Reaffirming the expectation of future success and personal achievements.
I don't ever wanna walk away, I don't want anyone to feel any blame.
Expressing a desire for positive impact and avoiding causing harm or blame.
I just want them to feel entertained with my name in the game.
Desiring to entertain others and establish a notable presence in the industry.
