Lyrics
Let me say a thing about me
Expressing the intention to share information about oneself
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to talk about oneself
I don't fuck with many people
Preferring limited social connections
I got told that money was the route to all evil
Heard that money is the root of evil, but rejects that notion
But I chuck that shit in fifth n keep my foot down on the diesel
Rejects conventional wisdom, prefers a fast-paced lifestyle
I'd rather die young than live poor
Prefers a short life with financial success over a long poor life
I needa keep on doing more mbro, cos we don't get a sequel
Emphasizes the importance of continuous effort due to lack of second chances
And I know that all these school cunts never saw me as an equal
Feeling underestimated by peers from school
It's cramps, now I'm soaring, I'm a eagle
Overcame challenges and now feels triumphant
You ain't criminal, you just done something slightly illegal
Distinguishes between true criminality and minor illegal activities
Have you ever put time into a crime
Asks about engaging in serious illegal activities
Overdrink, and think, let it take over your mind
Reflects on the impact of excessive drinking on decision-making
I'm just tryna get mine for the 5 thousandth time
Expresses the repetitive nature of striving for personal gain
I'd be lying if I told you lot that I never cried
Admits to moments of vulnerability and sadness
They were selling food at the playground
Contrasts personal struggles with normal childhood activities
Meanwhile I was selling food at the playground
Highlights unconventional activities during childhood
I was selling sticks and shit, hoping it would play out
Reflects on the uncertainty of past actions
I'm spilling drinks and shit, damn I needa lay down
Expresses a need for rest and relaxation
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to share information about oneself
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to talk about oneself
You know my name, mbutha
Asserts personal identity
You don't know me, like Pistole Pete & Enzo
People don't truly know the speaker
My butha boy was beaming off a benzo
Describes a friend's state under the influence of drugs
Dying slowly
Reflects on the slow decline or deterioration of a friend
My other bro dreaming on that DMT
Another friend dreaming under the influence of a hallucinogen
I just packed a romper, I was fiending for some THC
Desires THC, a substance, for personal pleasure
But I quit that shit
Quit using THC but acknowledges missing it
But that don't mean I don't miss that shit
Reflects on a friend engaging in illegal activities with a vehicle
Bro would whip that whip
Continues the theme of illegal activities and betrayal
Late night drives, find a snitch
Recalls past experiences of confrontation
And grip his shit
Describes confronting someone who betrays them
My only vice now is the nicotine
Current vices are limited to nicotine
And maybe alcohol
Acknowledges alcohol consumption but sees it as a minor issue
I'm a functioning drunk
Functions well despite being a frequent drinker
But I can tell you mbutha I know some liquor fiends
Knows individuals with more severe substance abuse issues
I work best on my own
Values independence and is tired of working in teams
I'm kinda sick of teams
Frustrated with maintaining a positive attitude amid negativity
How I'm 'posed to be positive round negativity, fuck
Questions the sincerity of love from others
How can you love me tryna get rid of me
Challenges the perception of being deaf, emphasizing attentiveness
Think I'm deaf mbuddy I'm always listening
Expresses dedication to hard work until achieving success
I gotta grind til the diamonds is really glistening
Prioritizes the well-being of others over personal interests
It's always been about yous
Acknowledges a historical focus on others and now emphasizes self
Now let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to share information about oneself
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to talk about oneself
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to share information about oneself
Let me say a thing about me
Reiteration of the intention to talk about oneself
