Lyrics

My people lookin' at me, sayin' boy, you made it out

People acknowledge the artist's success in escaping a difficult situation.

But I wasn't happy 'til we all had the same amount

The artist's happiness is tied to ensuring everyone around him has equal success.

Pops locked, crack the only thing can save us now

Father is incarcerated, and crack seems to be the only hope for improvement.

Mom's hooked, but tough luck is what made my style

Mother is addicted, and tough experiences have shaped the artist's character.

My fam is Spanish lent a hand and they just took advantage

Family members of Spanish descent offered help but took advantage of the situation.

All the time embrace Islam and every prayer was answered

Conversion to Islam brought positive changes, and prayers were answered.

Never asked Allah for material items

The artist doesn't ask God for material possessions.

I just prayed for the days I ran into my rivals

Praying for encounters with rivals from the past.

In my hood double drums on all of our rifles

Heavy weaponry is prevalent in the artist's neighborhood.

You wasn't birthed on the Earth if you know more than I know

A claim of superior knowledge, challenging others' legitimacy.

Though I'm the best I'm still upset you worship or idol

Expressing discontent with those who worship or idolize the artist.

The illest niggas that you heard and we don't even try to

The artist and his peers are naturally talented without trying.

Young and wild lifestyle really hard to survive through

Life is challenging for those living a wild and rebellious lifestyle.

No matter how hard you are one day a nigga gon' try you

Despite toughness, everyone faces a moment of challenge.

You can take this how you want I'm only here to remind you

Artist's intention is to remind, not provoke, through the lyrics.

Disrespect me all you want because I'm coming to find you

Warning that disrespect will lead to confrontation.


Ugh

Expression of frustration or disgust.

Got my pistol, out the window

Artist is armed and on high alert.

So much cocaine on me, I can't go home

Presence of cocaine makes returning home risky.

What am I gonna do, with the bread now?

Dilemma on how to use the acquired wealth.

It's getting hard to hide it from you

Difficulty in concealing the truth from others.

'Cause it's got so long

The situation has been ongoing for a long time.


In my hood, clip extensions on all of our rifles

Extended magazines on firearms are common in the artist's community.

That pussy good, if she crockin' that paper might wife her

Valuing a woman who is skilled in handling money.

Dancin' on dope, moon-walkin' like Michael

Referencing a glamorous lifestyle involving drug use.

Streaming drugs through your Spotify, Apple, or Tidal

Drug references being streamed through popular music platforms.

I need that scratch G, tax free, spot bubblin' like acne

Desire for untaxed income and a lucrative business.

Whippin' next to jump the batch, look like I got the crack free

Engaging in illegal activities to generate profit.

Paid the bitch to twerk it on the pole I got the ass free

Using money to influence and control others.

Pull a brick of hundred out in ones these hoes harass me

Attracting attention with large amounts of money.

Since I touched the game, this shit ain't been the same

Positive impact on the game since the artist's involvement.

They tryna freeze me out but they can't kill the kane

Resistance to being excluded, emphasizing resilience.

Make a million every time I drop, so fuck the fame

Financial success is the primary goal, overshadowing fame.

I can put some young'ns on your bumper for a piece of change

Willing to employ others for personal gain.

Cocaine in the bumper, we was silly mane

Past experiences involving drug trafficking are acknowledged.

If I get the cheddar say I did it for my niggas, mane

Claiming actions are for the benefit of close associates.

Don't you know that

A rhetorical question, emphasizing a point.

Nigga don't you know that

A repeated rhetorical question, underlining a statement.


Ugh

Expression of frustration or disgust (repeated).

Got my pistol, out the window

Artist remains armed and vigilant (repeated).

So much cocaine on me, I can't go home

Risk associated with the abundance of cocaine (repeated).

What am I gonna do, with the bread now?

Questioning what to do with acquired wealth (repeated).

It's getting hard to hide it from you

Increasing difficulty in hiding the truth (repeated).

'Cause it's got so long

Protracted nature of the challenging situation (repeated).
