Lyrics
Check, check, check
Expression of confirmation or acknowledgment
Yea, yea, yea
Repetition for emphasis, similar to line #1
A lot of shit up on my mind so shit, let's talk bout it
Acknowledging a burden on the mind and an invitation to discuss it
My niggas dropping like they meant to have some chalk around 'em
Referring to friends dying violently and unnaturally
I seen my uncy in a box, can't wrap my thoughts around it
Personal experience of seeing an uncle in a casket
I asked my papa 'bout the dates but he won't talk about it
Inquiring about the circumstances of a death from a family member
I guess that's how it go when this shit just get really real
Reflecting on the harsh reality of life becoming intensely real
And niggas taking drugs 'cause we can't face just how we really feel
People resorting to drugs to avoid confronting true emotions
My nigga poured a eight up, said, "Bro, this shit thick for real"
Describing a friend pouring a heavy dose of a drug
I asked him what he doing
Inquiring about the friend's actions
He said, "Shit, bro, this shit really kill"
Friend admitting that the substance is dangerously potent
It's like he want to kill his self
Suspecting the friend's desire for self-harm
Shit, I can't blame him
Understanding the struggles but not blaming the friend
I just drunk a fifth so I can feel myself
Using alcohol to cope and numb emotions
It's a reason why every time we link, I'm laughing to the end
Finding solace in laughter during uncertain times
'Cause really in my heart, shit, I don't know if we going to meet again
Expressing uncertainty about future meetings with friends
I got a list of people that I want to see again
Wishing to reconnect with specific people
I want to cherish every day, she trying to beef again
Desiring to appreciate every day amid conflicts
And niggas pass they judgement on just how it be for real
People making judgments without understanding the reality
But I know they don't know so I just always let it be for real
Choosing to let others' opinions be without confrontation
But nah, for real, I want some peace for real
Expressing a genuine desire for peace
And shit, I really need some hope for real
Seeking hope in a challenging situation
But nah, my unc' really locked up for selling dope for real
Uncle facing legal consequences for drug-related activities
And my other unc' locked up for spilling yolk for real
Another uncle facing legal issues, possibly related to violence
But nah, this ain't no shit I'm bragging on
Clarifying that the narrative is not a boastful statement
This some shit that I put in 'cause I'm just crying to this song
Using the song as an outlet to express deep emotions
And for real, I had no help so I was crying on my own
Highlighting the absence of support while facing challenges
That's why I always feel like, shit, I'll be fine on my own
Expressing self-reliance and resilience in difficult times
