Lyrics
Yo, uh
Introduction to the song, setting the tone.
Yo, uh (5ive Music)
Reiteration of the introduction.
Yo, tryna feed the ends, I need M's
Expressing the desire to earn millions for survival.
I can't pretend, put my trust in my gun before my friends
Choosing to trust a gun over friends, implying a tough environment.
In the Shard with my soulmate
Being in a significant place (Shard) with a soulmate.
Countin' money from '08, who said that crime don't pay?
Reflecting on making money since 2008, challenging the notion that crime doesn't pay.
Trap star way before the clothin'
Being involved in the trap lifestyle before gaining fame.
Model bitches in my DM but I gotta stay focused
Dealing with attention from model women but prioritizing focus.
Niggas died, Rimz got myself outta this
Surviving difficult situations and not wanting to depend on others for basic needs.
I don't wanna eat, teach me how to fish
Expressing a desire to learn self-sufficiency.
Tired of sellin' dark and the Caucasian
Tired of illegal activities involving drugs and race.
I told my brudda, "When I make it then we all make it"
Commitment to share success with close ones.
I don't fuck with cops and robbers, we shot tops and bottoms
Rejecting the traditional "cops and robbers" narrative in favor of a more serious reality.
They left me in a box, I was rottin'
Referencing a difficult past, possibly incarceration.
Even though I'm rich I'ma search away from the station
Despite wealth, still living cautiously and away from the police.
Spent a couple thousand on some counter surveillance
Investing in counter-surveillance to protect oneself.
Where I'm from we serve our neighbors, it's that or bailiffs
Admitting involvement in criminal activities but suggesting limited options.
And I'ma beat this nine, won't let them take me
Determined to resist legal troubles.
I know a nigga died, I gave his mum crack for free
Recalling providing drugs to someone's mother, questioning morality.
Who's wrong? Her or me?
Pondering the morality of actions compared to others.
I know I shouldn't get high but this shit boosts my self-esteem (yo)
Acknowledging the negative impact of substance use on self-esteem.
Just wanna live a little peace (uh, yo)
Desire for a peaceful life despite challenges.
Servin' cakes like it's EL&N Café
Describing a lavish lifestyle, possibly gained through illicit means.
In out these flats, I felt like 50, I had to get the strap
Recalling a past involving danger and the need for protection.
Dealin' with these sales, no clearance
Dealing with challenges in sales, possibly in an illegal business.
The block made us fearless, where niggas die before their parents
Growing up in an environment where death precedes parents.
I took too many losses, ate too much porridge
Having faced numerous challenges and setbacks.
Came home brolic, Rollie face olive
Physical transformation after overcoming hardships.
Had a bar before a hook, mixin' F1 with the buj
Early success and wealth before mainstream recognition.
Fuck a 10/10 chick in the car, I'm so hood
Engaging in activities associated with a rough neighborhood.
From white and B to recliner seats
Transition from a difficult past to a more comfortable present.
Remember when I had to consign a re'
Recalling a time when external validation was necessary.
I'm just a product of the streets
Identifying as a product of a challenging environment.
I pray I do enough deeds cah I know that Jannah's at mummy's feet
Expressing hope for a positive afterlife due to good deeds.
Even though I'm rich I'ma search away from the station
Reiteration of caution despite financial success.
Spent a couple thousand on some counter surveillance
Investing in security measures to avoid legal issues.
Where I'm from we serve our neighbors, it's that or bailiffs
Highlighting the limited choices in a challenging environment.
And I'ma beat this nine, won't let them take me
Determined to resist legal consequences.
I know a nigga died, I gave his mum crack for free
Recalling a past action involving substance abuse.
Who's wrong? Her or me?
Pondering the morality of actions compared to others (repeated).
I know I shouldn't get high but this shit boosts my self-esteem
Acknowledging the negative impact of substance use on self-esteem (repeated).
Just wanna live a little peace
Desire for a peaceful life despite challenges (repeated).
