Lyrics
Bruh this beat so hard bruh
Bruh, expressing enthusiasm for the intense beat.
I was working on like seven songs when I wrote this
During the creation, the artist was simultaneously working on seven songs.
At this time in my life I was working
At this point in life, the artist was dedicated to work.
At this time in my life I was hurting
The artist was experiencing emotional pain during this period.
At this time in my life I was searching
Life was a search for dreams and purpose.
For the dreams I was chasing and purpose
Continuing the pursuit of dreams and purpose.
And they say I'm next up but I'm right now
The acknowledgment that success is happening now, not just in the future.
If I see something real imma write down
Commitment to writing about genuine experiences.
But I cannot be losing my sight now
Caution against losing focus on the important things.
Just stay humble they'll notice your lifestyle
Advice to stay humble for others to notice one's lifestyle.
At this time in my life I was working
Reiteration of the work, pain, and search for purpose, emphasizing humility.
At this time in my life I was hurting
-At this time in my life I was searching
-For the dreams I was chasing and purpose
-And they say I'm next up but I'm right now
-If I see something real imma write down
-But I cannot be losing my sight now
-Just stay humble they'll notice your lifestyle
-Just stay humble they'll notice your lifestyle, I done been on that wave for a minute
Reinforcing the importance of humility in lifestyle.
I'm not saying that i'm finna change it up now but i think that i'm getting offended
Anticipation of potential offense, considering a change.
I can give you a pillow if you gone keep sleeping on me because it's recommended
Offering support, but suggesting consequences for underestimation.
And I know who supported me when I first started, it's just like I'm taking attendance
Reflecting on those who supported the artist from the beginning.
I ain't put down the ball for a mic
Metaphorical self-identity as the moon, still shining in adversity.
Overlooked me in both it's aight
-Please don't call me the sun, you can call me the moon
-Cause I'm still gone shining at night
-And if gotta cuss in my music just for you to feel it, then it ain't your type
Commitment to genuine expression without compromising artistic integrity.
I humble myself when I see people rapping, I promise I'm being polite
-I been feeling like long as I just love myself
Emphasis on self-love and the decision not to obligate oneself to others.
I'm not obligated to help anyone else
-Cause they never appreciate me and my help
-Overlooking me mane you can call me an elf, listen
-My motivation is self-given
Self-motivation, resilience, and determination to overcome challenges.
Beating the odds with a belt in it
-Got kinda hard but I kept digging
-If I give up, that's a failed mission
-Between you and me I been grinding
Revelation of personal struggles, with a determination to endure and smile.
Between you and me I been crying
-Between you and me I been trying
-I just smile through the pain that I'm hiding
-Lost too many this year, man I miss my family
Mention of losses, particularly the artist's grandmother, and reliance on knowledge.
I just pray that somebody will understand me
-You don't know what I'm missing without my granny
-And I know all my knowledge gone come in handy
-At this time in my life I was working
Repetition of the theme of work, pain, and the importance of staying humble.
At this time in my life I was hurting
-At this time in my life I was searching

-And they say I'm next up but I'm right now
-If I see something real imma write down
-But I cannot be losing my sight now

Reiteration of grinding, trying, and smiling despite concealed pain.

Reflection on life challenges, artistic variety, and self-reliance.
All my life I've been speaking knowledge
-And keeping dollars
-I go through some things in my life on the low but won't speak about it
-I keep it silent
-My moma my rock but I stand at the top of the mountain with boulders, I keep solid
-I'm outside of the box when it comes to my mindset, they calling me out of pocket
-Got a lot of variety that you can choose from my music, compare it to Baskin Robins
-I'm signed to myself, I done crossed all the t's and you don't know about the i's I dotted
-They bumping me now but they ain't see the vision at first, I guess it was microscopic
-I just put myself on, pull out your cellphone, tell a reporter to write about it
Asserting independence and the desire for recognition in the media.
I wanna visit my auntie and grandpa, I wanna go see my grandmama face
Expressing a longing to connect with family members and a commitment to them.
But i just know it's a little too late
-When I get to heaven let's call it a date
-I promise to pay for the food on your plate
-Who told y'all to leave, man I told y'all to wait
-Just know that y'all living through me every day
Recognition that loved ones live on through the artist's achievements.
Wanted y'all to see me graduate in May
