Lyrics
No, I ain't bragging, I ain't bragging
Denial of boasting; emphasizing honesty
But I'm just being honest when I say I'm top five
Asserting a top-five status in some context, likely in skill or success
Who that cracker that keep dropping back to
Referring to someone ("cracker") repeatedly returning
Back I'm too live
Expressing liveliness or excitement
Life is like a movie but I ain't got no time to rewind
Life's irreversible, no time to dwell on the past
I'm a superstar cuz you'll take me out at halftime It's a new me, this ain't nothing like the last time I ain't worried about these bitches I want rubber bands
Confidence in oneself despite setbacks, focusing on personal growth and not worrying about others
Lately I've been super hot, I'm dripping, boy I need a fan
Feeling extremely hot, needing relief (a fan)
See them tryna ride my wave
Others attempting to imitate or benefit from the speaker's success
I'ma die someday but not today
Recognizing mortality but not today; living in the moment
It was hard but I had someone made a way
Acknowledging help received in difficult times
I've been hurting, it's gon' be okay, okay
Pain experienced but optimism about the future
Lately I've been focused, they been tryna
Being focused despite attempts to distract
Throw distractions
Attempts by others to divert attention from the speaker's goals
But I ain't paying that no attention
Ignoring distractions, staying focused on personal goals
Just keep "Kam" from out your mentions
Advising others to avoid mentioning the speaker negatively
Can't even feel none of my pain if you ain't coming from the trenches
Understanding and relating to pain from a similar background
Long nights up in the rain, we grew up jumping
Growing up enduring challenges (rain, fences)
The fences
Overcoming obstacles and challenges to succeed
Diamonds come from dirt, well I'm a diamond
Success (diamonds) arising from difficult situations
They gon' throw the dirt when you shining
Expectation of criticism or negativity when successful
Had I made it out the hood, perfect timing
Successful escape from a difficult environment at the right time
They gon' ask me how I did it, I've been grinding
Acknowledging hard work leading to success
No I ain't bragging, I ain't bragging
Reiteration of not bragging but stating a top-five status
But I'm just being honest when I say I'm top five Who that cracker that keep dropping back to back I'm too live
Repeating the assertion of being top five and addressing someone returning
Life is like a movie but I ain't got no time to rewind
Reiterating life's irreversibility, emphasizing living in the present
Pushing on my button, swear to god that I'ma start the car It ain't my fault that my mama birthed me a star, yeah, you just be you, yeah, you are who you are
Confidence in starting and excelling (starting the car) despite external factors
I put my foot up on the pedal, then I smash gas
Speeding up, progressing without hindrance
Cause ain't no stopping at all, ain't no stopping at all
Determination to keep going without stopping
Ain't no red lights, I had my back against the wall, they fouled me down the back
Adversity faced and overcoming it
Them people did me wrong, ain't no stopping at all, ain't no stopping at all
Resilience against mistreatment and obstacles
Yeah, I see I'm tryna ride my wave I'ma die someday but not today
Reiteration of others attempting to emulate success
It was hard, how I came up, made a way
Reflection on overcoming hardships
I've been hurting, it's gon' be okay, okay
Acknowledging pain but maintaining hope for the future
Diamonds come from dirt, well I'm a diamond
Similarity between success and diamonds coming from difficulties
And I'll be okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Reinforcing the message of being okay despite challenges
