Lyrics

Today some feelings are leavin'

Expressing the departure of certain emotions or sentiments today.

Couldn't help but feelin' mistreated

Feeling mistreated and expressing the difficulty in avoiding that feeling.

They sleep on my shit and then tell me to drop

People underestimate the artist's work but still advise them to release more.

I don't see the reason

Unable to see a valid reason for the aforementioned advice.

My missus run shit like a chief, together we gettin' mischievous

Describing a strong, equal partnership with a significant other.

The bottom is way lonelier than the top, but these niggas ain't seen it

Comparing the loneliness at the bottom to the top, challenging others' understanding.

Stop that, stop it, please

Commanding someone to stop undesirable behavior.

You more concerned what others earn that says a lot to me

Criticizing those overly concerned with others' earnings.

I turned a million down a million times, that's not a lot to me

Rejecting significant offers repeatedly, indicating their low value.

The game is changin', I do the best that I can to attain it

Acknowledging the changing nature of the music industry and striving to adapt.

If we gotta gamble, I bet on myself, all that other shit dangerous

Choosing to take risks on oneself rather than engaging in dangerous activities.

I just made a way for myself from out west and my grandmama basement

Successfully creating opportunities from challenging circumstances.

So I think you hoe niggas should bow in the presence of greatness

Asserting dominance and suggesting respect from others is warranted.

Let's go

Transition to the next part of the song.


Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

Repeated command to stop undesirable behavior.

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

-

Stop that, stop it please

-

Stop that, stop it please

We talking 'bout generational wealth

Discussing the importance of building wealth for future generations.

The pressure I built for myself

Feeling self-imposed pressure in the pursuit of success.

For all of the people who pics on my grandmama shelf

Mentioning family members and their influence on motivation.

Who heard her say "give me the belt"

Recalling a disciplinary moment from the past.

I would imagine one day, call it manifestation, a man would get taken away

Imagining a future event, possibly achieving a goal through manifestation.

We wasn't plannin' vacation, like internet bandwidth was laggin'

Reflecting on unexpected challenges, comparing to internet lag.

This feel like it's back in day

Feeling reminiscent of the past.

Shit is all ours like a captain would say

Asserting ownership and control over one's achievements.

Treasure map is a trap and this rap is a raft

Metaphorically linking a treasure map and the challenges of the music industry.

'Til you back on the ave, it's a matter a fact

Expressing the inevitability of returning to one's roots.

That you gotta protect your neck like a giraffe

Advising to protect oneself from potential harm or threats.

While the calendar countin' the days

Highlighting the importance of time and financial success.

The days only count if it's cash

Emphasizing the significance of monetary gains.

When you hit the mattress imagine a mansion

Imagining a luxurious lifestyle, contrasting with current reality.

I feel like I'm a mad man amassed in the vein livin'

Feeling overwhelmed by success, possibly expressing imposter syndrome.

I'm pretendin' I'm thankful at thanksgiving

Pretending to be grateful during traditional moments, possibly insincere.

I just bought a chain you can't change niggas

Symbolizing personal growth with the purchase of an unchangeable item.

I see all my potential in pain dealin'

Recognizing potential in dealing with pain and challenges.

With the weight of success and it taste bittersweet

Acknowledging the mixed emotions that come with success.

I mean, you far from your kin

Feeling distant from one's roots and family.

You not one of them to them to dim

Being different from others, possibly misunderstood.

You're light and get grim like a gremlin

Facing difficulties and challenges that transform a person.

It is what it is, until feelings switch and then it's

Accepting the reality of a situation until emotions change.


Whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy)

Repeating the command to stop undesirable behavior.

Whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy), whoa (ayy)

-

Whoa

Stop that, stop it, please, stop that, stop it, please
