Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
Yeah, yeah
Repetition of affirmation or agreement.
Yeah
Continuation of expression of affirmation or agreement.
If I get a gat, I'ma lock and load
If I obtain a firearm, I will prepare to use it.
You lil dudes really not this cold
You young individuals are not as skilled or experienced as you think.
But me, I might be a popsicle
I, however, may be vulnerable or easily affected.
I been doin this shit since a toddler though
I have been engaged in this activity since childhood.
And I move through the waters like a boblo boat
I navigate challenges with a calm and steady approach, like a boat named "Boblo."
Slow and steady, the bros is ready, the hoes is jetty
Prepared and confident with both friends and potential romantic partners.
I never lose sight of my goals I'm ready
I stay focused on my objectives and am prepared.
These other rappers meatballs past they prime, they really old spaghetti
Other rappers are past their prime and not relevant.
I been really thinkin bout a different life
Contemplating a different lifestyle.
Different strokes for different folks
People have different preferences and perspectives.
Had to ask Willis what was you saying
Referencing the TV show "Diff'rent Strokes" and seeking clarification.
I been rappin since 09, what was you playin
I have been rapping since 2009; what have you been doing?
This is seven figure talk, tell me what was you payin
I engage in discussions about substantial financial matters.
I stack it up
I accumulate wealth.
I talk big shit cuz I back it up
I speak confidently because I have the achievements to support it.
The black man told me I ain't black enough
An assertion that he doesn't conform to stereotypes about blackness.
But the white man told me that I'm black too much
Confrontation with conflicting expectations about racial identity.
The most high, tell me that I'm on time
A higher power affirms he is on the right path.
And I'm in the right place, and I got my own mind
He is in the right place, possessing independent thought.
If I had to skateboard, then I'm on my own grind
Even if he had to struggle, he would persevere independently.
If I gotta take yours, then I really won't mind
If necessary, he will take what he needs without remorse.
Cuz people been taking from me from very beginnin
People have taken advantage of him from the very beginning.
And I used to be the dude that never was winnin
He used to be unsuccessful but has overcome it.
My cup was half full, but it never was empty
He used to have little, but now he has plenty.
And now my cup full, yea I always got plenty
His cup is full, signifying abundance.
Gotta back up, no sips bro
He doesn't settle for less; he aims for more.
I'ma big dog, no simp bro
He is assertive and confident, not submissive.
I came out the blue, like I'm Crip though
His emergence was unexpected, like a member of the Crips gang.
And they believe in me, like I'm Crypto
People have faith in him, akin to the belief in cryptocurrency.
Yea
Reiteration of affirmation.
So I'm on the rise
He is ascending or progressing.
But tell me why they so surprised
Surprise at his success despite his long-standing efforts.
I been baking bread, but never sold them pies
He has been working hard but hasn't engaged in illegal activities.
And if life is poker, I ain't folding mines
In life's game, he doesn't give up easily.
It's perfect timin
Emphasis on the importance of timing.
And I gotta life that's gold and worth some diamonds
His life is valuable and adorned with precious things.
Even when the night gets cold I'm always shinnin
Even in difficult times, he continues to shine.
How could you blame me, I'm still the same me
Defending his authenticity despite external changes.
It's perfect timin
Reiteration of the importance of timing.
And I gotta life that's gold and worth some diamonds
His life is valuable and adorned with precious things.
Even when the night gets cold I'm always shinnin
Even in difficult times, he continues to shine.
That change can't change me, I'm still the same me
Asserting that external changes won't alter his core identity.
