Lyrics
I'm always low-key when I'm by my lonely
I maintain a low profile when I'm alone.
Don't need to know my business
I prefer privacy; you don't need to be aware of my personal matters.
Just know I be working homie
I want you to know that I am focused on my work.
You hear the rumble in my tummy
Rumbling in my stomach signifies hunger.
Man it means I'm hungry
My hunger is real, and I had to work hard, even eating cheap food like bologna.
Had to get it out the mud eating straight boloney
Describes a challenging past, possibly involving difficult circumstances.
Late nights shooting dice rolling snake eyes
Late nights spent taking risks, facing uncertainty.
On the outside I use to see them birds fly
Observing others succeed while I struggled.
I was selling dime bags on the north side
Engaging in small-scale drug dealing on the north side.
They ran the price off the corner like it's Popeye's
Increased competition affected the price of drugs.
With crack heads on the block snorting white lines
Describing a neighborhood with drug addiction problems.
I'm in a jungle where the snakes lions bears roam
Metaphorically in a challenging environment with deceitful individuals.
Its either eat or get ate by the wrong one
Survival is crucial; the wrong choices could be harmful.
Expect the unexpected walking in the unknown
Being prepared for unexpected challenges in an uncertain environment.
The streets ain't made for a nigga with no Heart of stone
Highlighting the toughness required to navigate difficult streets.
I use to ride a huffy just to get to where I'm going
Used to ride a basic bike due to lack of transportation options.
Cause niggas wasn't giving rides for the sake of nothing
People were not willing to help without a reason.
And if something up then they might start dumping
The potential for violence if a situation escalated.
Cause Snitches singing to the feds like it's karaoke
Snitches are cooperating with law enforcement, likened to karaoke singing.
One foot in and out call it hokey pokey
Describing a situation where someone is involved but not fully committed.
The game full of squares, X and Os like a Sony
The game (referring to life) involves both straightforward and strategic elements.
Back in the day you beat the struggle
Overcoming struggles in the past was considered fortunate.
You were considered lucky
Acknowledging the danger associated with financial pursuits.
Cause niggas dying over money in this game of rummy
People are losing their lives over money in a risky game.
I'm in a jungle where the snakes lions bears roam
Reiteration of the challenging environment with deceptive individuals.
Its either eat or get ate by the wrong one
Reemphasizing the importance of survival in a hostile environment.
Expect the unexpected walking in the unknown
Being prepared for unexpected challenges in an uncertain environment.
The streets ain't made for a nigga with no Heart of stone
Emphasizing the necessity of having a tough and unyielding character in challenging circumstances.
