Reflecting on self-worth and morality, questioning if the speaker is a good person.
Am I a fool

Am I weak
Questioning personal strength or resilience in the face of challenges.
Or am I just playing it cool
Considering if the speaker's demeanor is a genuine reflection of their character or just a facade.
Priorities conflicted chase checks like I'm addicted
Admitting to conflicting priorities, with a focus on pursuing financial gain and the addictive nature of it.
Created my own lane now you looking at me different
Boasting about creating a unique path and acknowledging that others now view the speaker differently.
Emotions they get shifted relationships get rifted

Gotta pay the ticket putting love behind the business
Prioritizing financial success over love and acknowledging the consequences of such a choice.

My money or my wife
Presenting a dilemma between choosing money and a spouse, leading to conflicts when facing financial difficulties.
Wish I could choose em both but when we broke we fuss and fight
Expressing a desire to have both money and a stable relationship but recognizing the challenges.
So if the price is right I'll be wildn for the night
Indicating a willingness to engage in wild behavior if the financial reward is significant.
Might end up doing life in the bin sending kites

Brothers killing brothers just because they're Able
Addressing the tragic phenomenon of violence within families, using the biblical reference of Cain and Abel.
Grinding for a bag brought the table to the table
Highlighting the speaker's hard work and effort to bring success to the table.
Thought it was enough to act how ya momma raised you
Acknowledging the influence of upbringing but recognizing the tendency for people to abandon authenticity.
But people throw away the real out there chasing fables
Observing that some forsake genuine connections while pursuing unrealistic dreams.
Heard the grass was greener when you pushing a two seater
Suggesting that material success may seem appealing but can lead to deception.
They pray on your demise you can tell by their demeanor
Warning about people who wish for the speaker's downfall, evident in their behavior.
Cause they wanna see ya crash in flames burn in the ether
Highlighting the malicious intent of those who want to witness the speaker's failure.
So if you find a rider best be careful how you treat her

If I take her to Saint Croix I'm spending triple that on toys

Heard em at the door now I gotta flush the score

Looking for the raw guns pointed at my jaw

Praying to the lord that they never check the floor
