Lyrics
Ay
A casual expression, an attention grabber
You know what time it is
Acknowledging the current moment or situation
(They don't know what time it is)
Highlighting that others are unaware of the situation
Facts
Affirming a statement as truth
Homies in the kingdom oh lord
Referring to friends in a spiritual context, seeking divine help
Pray for me got me trippin (ha ha ha)
Request for prayers, feeling overwhelmed
They was waiting on some handouts I was out the trunk flippin' (I was)
People expected assistance, but the speaker was self-sufficient
Five dollars a pop a hunnid' sold ,darn right got me livin'
Selling a product successfully, enjoying life
Tryna give em game say its to much so they ain't listenin' (they ain't)
Sharing wisdom, frustration at not being heard
Now they talkin' bout me say I'm chasin' money
Accusation of pursuing wealth
Homie is you serious (you serious)
Questioning the seriousness of the accusation
Better read cho bible better get it straight player clean ya' ears
Advising to read the Bible for clarity
Got a family to feed and if you don't u worser than an unbeliever (fa real)
Emphasizing responsibility towards family
Since I ain't clockin' in a warehouse they turning on the heater (hater)
Facing criticism for not conforming to societal norms
I be frank living off the gal, that there stank (it do)
Living authentically, not conforming to expectations
Real kingdom men hold they own had to get it what you thank ( what chu thank)
Real men in the speaker's community take responsibility
Got out the streets
Exiting a challenging environment
While you was waiting on an honorarium tryna rap for the privilege
Contrast with others seeking privileges through music
I was in the hood on Bogart Street. (leggo)
Recalling a challenging neighborhood, expressing determination
Faith so little these days they must hardly read (they don't)
Observation on diminishing faith in society
How you read the Bible so much, but you hardly see (they don't)
Critiquing religious hypocrisy and lack of understanding
Sound like religion (yeah) , like a pharisee (yeah)
Comparing religious actions to mere rituals
Yeah I'm in the will of god and you know it ain't gone worry me
Confidence in following God's will without worry
Then they got the nerve to ask the people what they payin' me ( what)
Questioning inquiries about the speaker's income
I been grindin' way before the DJ, who mad at me (who mad at me)
Highlighting personal hard work, criticism from others
And I heard thru the grapevine he tearin' you cat ragily (ragily)
Rumors about the speaker negatively affecting someone else
Ain't nobody made me, I'm from another galaxy (galaxy)
Claiming uniqueness and distance from earthly matters
And he don't play me no mo don't matter
Rejection of external influence, seeking personal understanding
I had to see (had to see)
Personal realization after experiencing a situation
Whatever in the dark come in the light it was sad to see (sad to see)
Revelation of hidden truths, possibly negative
Call me Jeremiah is what it is I be on the biz ( I be on the biz)
Self-identification as Jeremiah, a biblical prophet
Over ten years later still going strong and 4 mo kids (yeahhh)
Highlighting longevity and family growth
Wife full time with the label
Wife's commitment to the speaker's label
It'll make you cry tears (it will)
The emotional impact of the speaker's journey
Cause you know the Lord behind it (he is)
Attributing success to divine intervention
Make a hater silent (shhhh)
Making critics speechless with success
Devil want me wildin'
Recognizing and resisting negative influences
Made a lot at Park and Highland (I did) standin' with my God
Achieving success in a specific location, with God's support
Homie o my God (oh my God)
Acknowledging a higher power
Ain't never seen a drought streets on my heart
Contrasting personal struggles with others
He livin' out a cart (he is)
Depicting a challenging living situation
And you waiting on the weekend
Highlighting unconventional daily routines
Tuesday evening I be walking thru the yard (walkin)
Visiting a prison, sharing a positive message
West high prison(yeah) I tell em who has risen
Referencing a biblical resurrection story
Then I'm out the doh (gone)
Leaving a situation behind
Faces on the floor
Impactful presence causing surprise or shock
