Lyrics

I'm all wrapped up in shackles

I feel constrained and limited by external forces or situations.

I'm trying to break free

I'm attempting to liberate myself from these constraints.

I'm my own worst enemy, me

I am my own greatest obstacle or adversary.

They'll never let me by though, I'm always tryna beat

Despite my efforts, others are not allowing me to succeed.

Beat my worst enemy, me

I am constantly striving to overcome and defeat my own shortcomings.


Ayo, a better platform for all to listen to me

Seeking a better platform for my voice to be heard by all.

We out in DC deep, ain't got no sleep

In Washington, DC, facing challenges without much rest.

The ride bumpy, who jetted out the country to buy D

I traveled abroad to purchase drugs and returned, facing harsh realities.

Came back, large par, ain't nothin' sweet

Back home, dealing with significant challenges, no easy victories.

My dome is yellin', "Go home!" but I ain't through

Internal struggles urge me to go home, but I persist.

So many years in my career, it's a long route

My career path has been lengthy and challenging.

Thinkin' when Cap skinned his face on the plaster

Reflecting on past experiences, possibly involving violence.

We was dusted back then, I smoked the last of it

Recollecting drug-influenced memories from the past.

And jumped into the Acura, sleepin' in Sibble's, what it do?

Moving on to a new phase, asking about someone named Sibble.

Stew, beef, chicken, where my boo?

Reference to different types of meat, perhaps symbolic of life's challenges.

Had a quarrel with a hood rockstar, I broke his arm off

A conflict with a fellow artist over someone's daughter.

'Cause he was pointin' his fingers at Ivanne's daughter

Acting decisively to protect someone close, breaking an arm.

What's next? Dreads want a piece of my spot

Awareness of impending threats, specifically from individuals with dreads.

This my crib, I pay here to live, fuck you, pop

Asserting ownership of personal space, defiance against authority.


I'm all wrapped up in shackles

Reiteration of feeling confined and limited.

I'm trying to break free

Continued effort to break free from constraints.

I'm my own worst enemy, me

Acknowledgment of self-sabotage and being one's own obstacle.

They'll never let me by though, I'm always tryna beat

External forces continue to impede progress despite efforts.

Beat my worst enemy, me

Perseverance in overcoming personal challenges.


Ridin' with the gun cocked, sweatin', musty tee on

Engaging in potentially dangerous situations, physically uncomfortable.

Black Timb b's, 10 degrees, GG bum

Describing attire and environment, indicating a gritty lifestyle.

Couple Ks, some had charms

References to wealth and possessions, particularly related to sports teams.

I'm strictly Eagles, few suede's on

Personal preference for a particular sports team.

Next Friday I'm Faizon

Comparing oneself to a character from the movie "Next Friday."

I gotta kill this nigga's head

Expressing a need to eliminate a threat or rival.

He probably do mine, when nobody's there

Concerns about being targeted when alone.

'Cause the only way to score, leave no witness

Emphasizing the importance of leaving no witnesses when seeking revenge.

A thug on my shit list, pay him with slugs back

Dealing with a thug who is now on a revenge list.

The slickness and remember that I built two graves

Reflecting on actions that lead to consequences, building two graves metaphorically.

I wasn't stupid, I was ruthless

Past actions characterized by ruthlessness, not stupidity.

Check the bazooka crew, they bookoos

Referring to a group known for their aggression and violence.

Broke the glass slammin' my rings down

A moment of frustration, breaking glass with rings.

That's doofus, don't mess up, you got the longest clip, use it

Cautioning against mistakes, especially with a powerful weapon.

Yo you see 'em in the lobby, they right there

Identifying potential threats in a shared space.

Head shots only, kill him, he right there

Instructing a violent act against a specific individual.


I'm all wrapped up in shackles

Reiteration of feeling confined and limited.

I'm trying to break free

Persistent effort to break free from constraints.

I'm my own worst enemy, me

Acknowledgment of self-sabotage and being one's own obstacle.

They'll never let me by though, I'm always tryna beat

External forces continue to impede progress despite efforts.

Beat my worst enemy, me

Perseverance in overcoming personal challenges.
