Lyrics
If I give em everything, what am I have left for me
If I give everything to others, what will be left for me?
Late night flights me and the bros all alone
Traveling at night with friends, feeling isolated
Head of conversation like why they sleeping on me, excuses
Discussing why people underestimate or ignore him, possibly making excuses
Nigga I put my whole life on the line
Expressing the risk he's taken with his entire life
So if you don't grind you don't shine
Implying success comes from hard work and dedication
I wake up everyday how you goin’ say it ain’t my time
Confident about his time to shine, questioning others' judgment
I wake up everyday and goin have the police round here riding
Waking up to the presence of law enforcement around
Call the 911: crime stoppers I’d like to report a crime
Humorous reference to reporting a crime due to paranoia or feeling targeted
I'd like to report this red car, a young man with dreadlocks
Describing a situation involving someone with dreadlocks and a red car
Like the one in the backseat had a big gun Ak47
Describing a potential threat with a big gun (AK47)
They must be looking for the boys
Speculation about others' intentions or actions
Be down the street they never listen
Frustration at being ignored or not listened to
Up all night making noise for the life of drug dealin
Staying up all night involved in illegal activities (drug dealing)
You never know who watching you on the low (nobody)
Feeling unobserved despite being watched secretly
Never be there for the photo but always be there for the glow up
Being absent from photos but present during moments of success
Shit like I just gave you 2 thousand here you need 3 thousand more for
Feeling taken advantage of, being asked for more despite already giving
Like shawty you always drinking my shit, but you never help me pour up
Expressing dissatisfaction with someone taking without reciprocating
If I give em everything, what am I have left for me
Reiterating the concern about giving too much and having nothing left for himself
Late night out here on my own all alone
Being alone at night, emphasizing isolation
I stay woke but they slept on me
Feeling unnoticed despite being alert and active
They went in my secret book and stole the recipe
Metaphorically referencing the theft of his unique ideas or skills
But I'm the greatest, when they do it it's cool, but when I did it they hated
Noting the double standard where others are praised for his actions but not him
Stood on niggas it look like a spaceship
Comparison of his stance to something remarkable (like a spaceship)
Back then everything was black and gray, Oakland Raiders
Recalling a time when everything seemed bleak (black and gray), referencing the Oakland Raiders
I be like on some big tornado shit
Feeling powerful and unstoppable like a big tornado
Lately I ain't been fuckin with nothing that aint been fucking with me, ya heard me
Recently preferring associations that reciprocate his support or interest
Ay, and I aint owe a nigga shit, bitch, ay
Asserting independence and owing nothing to anyone
Bitch, I’m, I’m rich as fuck, I’m rich as fuck
Emphasizing wealth and success
I’m, I’m rich as fuck, I’m rich as fuck
Reiteration of wealth and success
