Lyrics
I just want to let you know (yes, sir)

I'll know when, you girl (yes, sir)
I will recognize when it happens, girl
No one will ever take this away from me (yeah, well, uh)

Recalling a time of financial struggle before entering a successful situation
See, my bitch fucked a nigga, Raekwon was servin' bricks
Refers to a past relationship involving infidelity and illegal activities by Raekwon
Just the fuel I needed, so I started takin' risks
Used the adversity as motivation to take risks
When everybody had the five, I leveled up and did the six
Elevated himself when others had less success

Long nights, no lights, dreamin' 'bout a Benz

No rice, just ice, nothin' in the fridge
No food in the house, only valuable items (ice)
Sick of makin' friends, all they do is burn a bridge

I'm drownin' in my sins, I never learned how to swim
Feeling overwhelmed by past mistakes
