Lyrics
Back when I was young
Reflecting on a past time when the artist was young.
I often lacked direction
Expressing a lack of clear purpose or guidance during youth.
Acting reckless
Recalling a period of behaving without caution or control.
Rap was set to be
Suggesting that rap music seemed to be a regrettable choice.
One of my big regrets but
Despite initial reservations, the artist is now drawn into the rap game.
Now the game calling so I had to step in
Answering the call of the music industry and actively participating.
Cooking heat, stir the fucking pot up like my name was Stephen
Creating impactful music, metaphorically stirring the pot like Stephen (possible reference to Stephen Curry).
Effervescent, bout these god-given skills I'm blessed with
Confident about the exceptional skills received as a gift.
And I'm still young bitch, it's all about perspective
Emphasizing youth and highlighting the importance of perspective.
Never question shit, know I'm destined to get it
Having unwavering confidence in achieving destined success.
Could give a fuck bout where I'm at, bitch I know where I'm headed
Indifference to current status, focused on the future.
On the road to fame and getting breaded
Pursuing fame and wealth on the journey of life.
Putting on for my whole race, representing
Showcasing pride in one's race and representing it.
Making my own beats, taking all of the credit
Claiming credit for creating original music, possibly beats.
I'm the brown Kanye, but like.. pre-antisemitic
Comparing oneself to Kanye West, with a mention of pre-antisemitic times.
Every track a different flow, switching like a pick-and-roll
Each song has a distinct style, likened to changing basketball plays.
Way I write the bars it's like the pen is dipped in liquid gold
Describing the lyrical quality as valuable, like liquid gold.
Yeah, uh, whatchu know bout this shit bro?
Questioning the listener's knowledge about the artist's experiences.
Now I'm on a roll, but man a couple years ago
Currently progressing, but acknowledging a frozen state in the past.
I was frozen f-f-frozen yeah frozen f-f-frozen, yeah
Repeating the word "frozen," indicating a period of stagnation.
Frozen, programmed to go through the motions, yeah
Programmed to go through routine motions, lacking spontaneity.
Frozen, always did what made the most sense, yeah
Always opting for the most sensible choices in the past.
Frozen, Frozen, yeah, Frozen, Never taking no risks
Reiterating the frozen state and aversion to taking risks.
Water getting cold I couldn't dip my toes in
Metaphorically expressing hesitation or reluctance in progressing.
Water getting cold I couldn't dip my toes in
Repeating the idea of feeling cold and unable to take action.
Now I hit the fucking pool (e) like I'm Draymond Green
Now confidently engaging in activities, akin to a successful basketball player.
Steady scheming, slaying demons, set to chase my dreams
Persistently planning and overcoming challenges to achieve dreams.
C'est la vie
Expressing acceptance of life's uncertainties, "such is life."
Full speed until the tank on E
Maintaining full speed despite challenges until the energy is depleted.
Y-Y-Yeah your man alright, but shit he ain't like me
Comparing oneself favorably to another man.
Yo, look, yo
Introducing a new perspective or topic in the lyrics.
I could give a fuck about what you think is likely
Asserting indifference to others' opinions about likelihood.
I ain't stopping til I see my name on a type beat
Determined to continue until personal success is recognized.
