Lyrics
Yeah, I'm back with a vengeance, this time we need wealth
Expressing a return with determination, emphasizing the need for wealth.
Thankful I don't wake up and question myself
Grateful for stability, avoiding self-doubt in the morning.
Treat life like the crap table with my last
Comparing life to a risky game, committing fully with the last resources.
You know I'ma put a hundred on me
Confidently betting a hundred on oneself.
Did this verse no shirts 'til I got it down to a T, yeah
Learning and perfecting a verse without distractions until mastered.
Made it off the field you couldn't walk in these cleats
Success in sports, highlighting the difficulty others would face.
Barely getting sleep means all in Manhattan beach
Lack of sleep due to intense dedication, particularly in Manhattan Beach.
Went from watching Mase to me really speaking with Diddy
Progress from being a spectator of Mase to conversing with Diddy.
Fuck y'all pity there ain't no sleep in the city
Rejecting pity, acknowledging the constant hustle in the city.
Signed to Motown but still hustling like I'm indie
Being signed to Motown but maintaining an independent hustling spirit.
Got Cozz rollin' with me and Nana
Mentioning companions Cozz and Nana.
My girl eatin wontons in the car playin' that Drake Sticky
Depicting personal moments with a significant other listening to Drake.
Got that Lanvin stitching in my hoodie 'cause it's windy
Adding luxury (Lanvin stitching) to clothing for style.
Farakahn they wanna end me, the attacks but neverending
Acknowledging external threats and persistent attacks.
Niggas acting, give them Emmy's, I been stacking every penny
Claiming authenticity and financial success, accumulating wealth.
Run the money up, but never catch me runnin' the law
Building wealth but avoiding legal troubles.
And if I thug with you you'll never catch me subbin' my dawgs, that's real
Staying loyal and genuine with associates, avoiding betrayal.
On go (no)
Repeating the chorus emphasizing readiness and constant movement.
Sliding through the city on go (nah, never)
-Sliding through the city on go (we ten toes down at all times)
-Sliding through the city (ay, facts though)
-Sliding through the city on go (nah, we never sleep)
-Sliding through the city on go (we had first this)
-Sliding through the city (West, West)
-Sliding through the city on go (West, West)
-Sliding through the city on go (yeah)
-To this point I don't even know what rest is
Expressing a lack of understanding of rest, remaining focused.
When they talkin 'bout who the best is
Ignoring discussions about who the best is, focusing on personal goals.
I don't know who the rest is (fuck 'em)
Disregarding others, emphasizing self-confidence.
Guess the kid's outta the loop
Indicating a departure from old patterns, concentrating on personal growth.
Focused on checkin' my check list
Prioritizing checking off personal goals over comparisons.
Not worried bout who is who (yeah)
Not concerned with others' identities or actions.
Why you think you in line and I'm on the guest list?
Highlighting personal success by being on the guest list.
I was young and reckless for the chicken, tryna to buy me a coup
Recollecting a past filled with risks and efforts to acquire material wealth.
Gun shots, drug deals, that was all that I viewed
Reflecting on a background involving violence and illegal activities.
I'm not a stranger to the game but I born in music
Acknowledging familiarity with the harsh realities of life.
But I would use it as part of my muse, along on the way
Using music as inspiration on the journey, integrating it into life.
I made an ass of myself, please pardon the mule
Apologizing for past mistakes, attributing them to the learning process.
Yeah, all of my mistakes was just a spark to the fuse
Viewing mistakes as catalysts for personal growth.
You ain't real if what I'm talkin got you lost and confused, nigga
Challenging the authenticity of others who are confused by the narrative.
We ain't the same, boy, I'm cut from a newer cloth
Asserting a unique identity, distinct from others.
No service I'm with your boo in Malibu for walks (facts)
Engaging in leisure activities with someone's romantic partner.
She can't get up off me, she drinkin' coffee
Describing personal habits, contrasting with others' behavior.
But not me cause I'm the type that's up before the rooster talk
-On go (no)
Repeating the chorus to emphasize the constant, unrelenting nature of their actions.
Sliding through the city on go (nah, never)
-Sliding through the city on go (we ten toes down at all times)
-Sliding through the city (ay, facts though)
-Sliding through the city on go (nah, we never sleep)
-Sliding through the city on go (we had first this)

-Sliding through the city on go (West, West)
-Sliding through the city on go (yeah)
-Yeah, real life

Greeting and acknowledging fellow artists Cozz and Bas.
Pour my drink for the niggas, yeah
Toasting and dedicating a drink to others.

Teasing the upcoming release of a city-themed album.
