Lyrics

I was riding around smoking a blunt popping a Xanax

Engaging in recreational activities with substances to cope with stress or escape.

I had the whip wanted the chips that bought the chicks

Desiring material wealth and success to attract romantic partners.

So I picked up the pen wrote down my sins

Turning to writing as a means of self-reflection and expression.

Don't pretend, that was hard

Acknowledging the difficulty of the process.

Cause I hide my scars I built a wall

Concealing emotional pain behind a metaphorical wall.

Don't call me Donnie. I'm truly sorry

Expressing remorse and vulnerability, distancing from a tough persona.

This takes time, one day I, will let you in

Hinting at the gradual opening up to others in the future.

But for now I'll give you pieces

Sharing limited information for now, possibly due to trust issues.

Even though a nigga hate Reese's

Despite personal feelings, acknowledging the quality of Reese's.

I'm the shit not like feces

Asserting confidence and self-worth, contrasting with feces metaphor.

Been that nigga since a fetus

Claiming long-standing success and importance since birth.

Green on me, drip Luigi

Referencing wealth and style, invoking video game character Luigi.

Neck like water, diamonds Fiji

Describing expensive jewelry with water and brand references.

I pop my shit cause it's too easy

Confidently expressing one's abilities and success.

This game I slaughtered buried beneath me

Claiming dominance and superiority in the music industry.

The plan I thought of thorough and prestigious

Describing a well-thought-out and prestigious plan for success.

Mind 4th quarter you niggas can't beat me

Boasting about mental strength in competition.

Yeah

A pause, possibly emphasizing the previous lines.

Swerving, looking for trouble I'm lurking

Indicating a rebellious and confrontational attitude, seeking excitement.

I'm chosen I know I'm here for certain

Expressing a sense of destiny and confidence in one's purpose.

I know my purpose humble I'm still learning

Remaining humble and open to learning despite success.

Make them nervous, I'm pulling back niggas curtains

Intimidating others, metaphorically pulling back their facades.

Expose y'all know these niggas not dope

Revealing the true nature of others, exposing their flaws.

No hope no more when they got the same flow

Commenting on the lack of originality and hope in others' work.

I hope you know these niggas are clone

Highlighting the lack of authenticity, suggesting others imitate.

Copy and paste scared to be they own

Observing a tendency to copy rather than create independently.

Nigga like I wasn't built over night

Asserting personal growth and development over time.

Yeah this took time man no oversight

Stressing the time and effort invested in personal progress.

Yeah got to get it right damn put in overtime

Emphasizing the importance of getting things right through hard work.

Restless nights cause I go for mine

Enduring sleepless nights to achieve personal goals and success.

I was riding around smoking a blunt popping a Xanax

Repeating the initial scene, emphasizing a cycle of struggles.

I had the whip wanted the chips that bought the chicks

Reiterating the desire for material wealth and success.

I had no lays so I ain't get laid

Reflecting on past struggles with romantic pursuits.

Nigga was scheming on how to get paid, paid

Focusing on scheming and planning for financial success.

I was riding around smoking a blunt popping a Xanax

Continuing the cycle of recreational activities and desires for success.

I had the whip wanted the chips that bought the chicks

Persisting in the pursuit of material wealth and attraction.

I had no lays so I ain't get laid

Referencing past romantic struggles due to lack of success.

Nigga was scheming on how to get paid, paid

Continuing to strategize and plan for financial success.

On how to get paid, on how to get paid, paid

Repeating the focus on the pursuit of financial success.

On how to get paid, on how to get, how to get, how to get

Emphasizing the persistence in learning and achieving success.

On how to get paid, on how to get paid, paid

Repeating the theme of striving for financial success.

On how to get paid, on how to get, on how to get

Reiterating the dedication to learning and achieving financial success.
