Late Nights, Unyielding Ambition: Wes Brooks' Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
I can't die down bad
The speaker is determined not to experience a significant downfall or failure.
So I'm staying up late lately (ooh, ooh)
They are staying awake into the late hours recently.
Matter fact I ain't trying to die at all
Expressing a strong desire to avoid any possibility of death.
I'mma make it where you can't escape me ('scape me, 'scape me, scape me, ooh)
The speaker aims to become unforgettable or inescapable to someone.
Wrist frigid, AP
Describing an expensive and high-status wristwatch.
Crib stately (ay)
Referring to a luxurious and impressive home.
Living ruthless, Ruth's Chris steak me (ay)
Living a lavish lifestyle and referencing a high-end steakhouse.
I'm the new kid, who did you mistake me for?
Questioning someone's confusion about the speaker's identity.
Word to Whoo Kid, who you kidding? I'm exhausted
Mentioning exhaustion, possibly from dealing with others' perceptions.
Boys barely found me but they praying that I lost it
Others may wish for the speaker's failure but are unsuccessful.
And1 mixtape, look at how I sauced it
Comparing personal success to skillfully executed basketball moves.
Can't afford no missteps, moving like a sergeant
Emphasizing the need to avoid mistakes and move with precision.
Right-left-right
Indicating a sense of control or determination with directional cues.
I'mma will myself a fortune while you chasing Vanna White
Intentions to create one's wealth instead of following after fame.
I'm the visionary type of personality
Identifying oneself as someone with a forward-thinking mindset.
I thought we was gang 'till I heard you had it out for me, damn
Realizing that an assumed alliance or friendship was actually negative.
I can't die down bad
Reiterating the determination not to experience significant failure.
So I'm staying up late lately (ooh, ooh)
Continuing to stay awake into the late hours recently.
Matter fact I ain't trying to die at all
Reasserting a strong desire to avoid any possibility of death.
I'mma make it where you can't escape me ('scape me, 'scape me, ooh)
Remaining unforgettable or inescapable to someone is emphasized again.
Wrist frigid, AP
Reiterating the description of an expensive and high-status wristwatch.
Crib stately (state)
Emphasizing the luxurious and impressive nature of the home once more.
Living ruthless, Ruth's Chris steak me (steak)
Continuing to highlight a lavish lifestyle and the reference to a high-end steakhouse.
I'm the new kid, who did you mistake me for? (who?)
Repeating the question about someone's mistaken identity of the speaker.
Face me, don't go into hiding
Encouraging someone to face the speaker instead of hiding.
My money and my time coinciding
Asserting that the speaker's money and time align or coincide.
We put all those hours in for you to throw away
Expressing disappointment at wasted time and effort for someone else.
I'm used to people turning cold, don't care to melt the snow away
Being accustomed to people becoming distant or uncaring, choosing not to mend those relationships.
Let it burn, look at what it ushered in
Accepting the consequences of past actions or decisions.
I was trying to get you out the way of your potential
Desiring to guide someone toward their potential by removing obstacles.
Ain't no such thing as earn my trust again
Stating that trust once lost cannot be regained.
Can't wait on nobody, who did you mistake me for?
Reiterating that the speaker cannot wait for anyone.
