Lyrics
Wait a second
Expression of impatience or anticipation
I can't feel nothing
Emphasis on emotional numbness or detachment
It's like a dream, I'm going to work
Comparison of reality to a dream while going to work
Can't explain
Inability to articulate feelings
I need change
Desire for change or transformation
Falling like rain, yeah
Metaphorical description of challenges or setbacks
To bless a man, to stress a man
Contrasting experiences of blessing and stress
The best is a lesser man, the uh
Reflection on the value of success and humility
I guess the plan to get some fans
Plan to gain popularity and recognition
Then cash in the check my man, the uh
Monetary motivation and financial success
He don't wanna feel the same, so plain
Desire to avoid monotony or predictability
So he go to steal the fame
Seeking fame through unconventional means
A Leo, Pacino, De Niro, adios amigo, the ego, the name
References to iconic figures and a farewell to ego
I been tryna relocate
Effort to find a new place or purpose
Working til I reach old age
Determination to work until old age
I don't wanna see low pay
Resistance to accepting low pay or mediocrity
Diamonds on your wrist so, Diamonds on your wrist so
Critical view of superficial displays of wealth
Diamonds on your wrist so fake
Skepticism towards fake displays of affluence
Don't even wanna see your face
Disinterest in encountering a person or situation
He been running back and forth to money or the women, looking for something to feel Okay
Search for fulfillment in money or relationships
I need a piece of Heaven
Desire for a sense of peace or happiness
I been so numb, I remember when I was eleven I had good imagination
Nostalgia for a time of vivid imagination
Now I feel clouded, I'm losing the sight of my dreams
Feeling clouded and losing sight of aspirations
It's a terrible combination
Recognition of a harmful combination of factors
Using the shape of your body as my motivation
Using someone's body as inspiration
And paper becoming idolatry
Warning about the worship of material wealth
What am I doing and how is this living?
Questioning the purpose and quality of life
That's a lot of talk that you talking with
Critique of empty or insincere talk
I can tell you're tryna be confident
Observation of someone trying to appear confident
But you is the opposite
Contradiction between appearance and reality
Don't be disrespectful, I'm gon put you in yo place
Request for respectful behavior or consequences
If I gotta problem I'm gon say it to yo face
Direct approach to addressing problems
I can't feel nothing
Reiteration of emotional numbness
It's like a dream, I'm going to work
Recurrence of the dream-like feeling while working
Can't explain
Reiteration of the difficulty in explaining feelings
I need change
Reiteration of the desire for change
Falling like rain, yeah
Repetition of the metaphor of falling like rain
