Lyrics

Yeah

Expressing affirmation or agreement.

Yeah

Reiterating affirmation or agreement.


I been getting used ever since I was a jit

Reflecting on being taken advantage of since childhood (jit).

Water in my view, guess I need to take a (hit)

Feeling the need for a break or escape, possibly through substance use.

Chain heavy you would think my name sexy (sexy)

Noting the weight of personal responsibilities or success.

Yeah, I'm gon' do it only if she gon' let me (let me)

Expressing a willingness to take action if given permission.

Body so deadly (deadly), lot of dead prezzies (thumbin')

Describing an attractive and dangerous body with valuable gifts received.

Thumbin' through the bands thinking who gon' represent me

Contemplating representation and influence in a financial context.

Used to wanna be friendly then I had to stop pretending

Transitioning from a desire for social approval to a more authentic self.

Gas too high now I'm riding on empty

Financial struggles, specifically with the cost of gas for transportation.

God please protect me (please), baby, don't forget me (baby)

Pleading for protection and not to be forgotten.

Started with the stick you'd think I went Gretzky on'em

Referencing a confrontational or assertive approach, possibly in self-defense.

Yeah

(Repetition of affirmation or agreement.)


Fucked up, nigga, you don't wanna fuck with me

Warning against crossing boundaries or engaging in conflict.

If you do, I'ma get you (yeah)

Asserting consequences for those who challenge or provoke.

Why you talkin' to me?

Questioning the relevance of communication if it doesn't involve money.

If it ain't about the money then I really can't hear ya

Emphasizing a focus on financial matters.

Huh? (I can't I can't hear you)

Unable to hear non-financial discussions.

Tell 'em go figure

Suggesting that solutions or understanding should be self-evident.

If you really want a real nigga to get at you, like, ah

Inviting authentic interactions from genuine individuals.

Why you talking? Like

Questioning unnecessary talk with a playful "La-da-da-da-da-da-da."

La-da-da-da-da-da-da

(Repetition of playful "La-da-da-da-da-da-da.")


Chain heavy you would think my name sexy (sexy)

Restating the weight of personal responsibilities or success.

Yeah, I'm gon' do it only if she gon' let me (vibe)

Reiterating willingness to take action based on permission or vibe.

Vibin' with my bestie (I been), I been in a frenzy

Enjoying moments with a close friend or partner.

Fucking up the bag sayin', "Ain't nobody with me"

Creating chaos with financial decisions and feeling isolated.

Used to wanna be friendly then I had to stop pretending

Similar to line 10, emphasizing authenticity over pretense.

Gas too high now I'm riding on empty (God)

Continuing financial struggles, now with an empty tank.

God please protect me (please), please don't forget me

Repeating a plea for protection and not to be forgotten.

Rap like this, check out the technique (technique)

Boasting about unique rap style and skills.


Technique, technician, bitch, you better listen (pay attention)

Emphasizing technical prowess and the importance of listening.

Engineering every mission and I'm never missing

Asserting confidence in accomplishing goals without emotional attachment.

No feelings, don't got 'em

Claiming a lack of emotional involvement in pursuits.

Now I'm finna go drive 'em, I'ma get it so poppin' on this episode

Expressing an intention to stand out and be successful in a significant way.

I just went post-modern, got the whole block flockin'

Adopting a modern, unconventional approach and attracting attention.

Yeah, I had a lot of problems and I hit rock bottom

Reflecting on overcoming challenges and reaching a low point.

Feelin' like The Rock when he shaved his head

Feeling powerful and in control after overcoming difficulties.

Ridin' with my Glock, tryna race, you dead

Being prepared for confrontation and asserting dominance.
