Riding High: Wiz Khalifa's Unapologetic Journey to Success
Lyrics
I'm cool with the new me
I am comfortable with my current self.
Some niggas told me they wish I'd
Some individuals express a desire for me to revert to my previous self.
Go back to the old me
However, they don't truly understand who I am now.
But don't even know me!
Because they lack an understanding of my current identity.
'Cause I be on some rich nigga shit
I engage in affluent behavior, and some people prefer my earlier, less prosperous self.
Guess they comfortable with the broke me
They seem content with the version of me that was not financially successful.
I blow by the OZ
I consume large quantities of marijuana (OZ).
But you knew that and all you niggas knew this jack
People were already aware of my habits, and they were familiar with the situation.
And now you muthafuckas owe me
Now, these individuals owe me something, likely due to my success.
Some people ask why I be low-key
Some question why I keep a low profile.
Guess I'm too real for me to act like I'm your homie
Perhaps because I am too genuine to pretend to be someone's close friend.
A lot of niggas try to get involved when they see you make it on your own
When you achieve success independently, many try to insert themselves into your life.
Hear they songs, but they not as real
They may create music, but it lacks authenticity compared to mine.
'Cause when you got it all, something's gotta give
Having everything requires making sacrifices.
And we ain't talking if it's not about a dollar bill
My conversations revolve around money; otherwise, I'm not interested.
I got so many things running through my mind
My mind is occupied with numerous thoughts.
Just drink and smoke, while the flow, unwinds
I cope by indulging in drinking and smoking as I let my thoughts unfold.
Amazed how I get so much paper?
Expressing wonder at my ability to accumulate wealth.
I'm more amazed how you could be such a hater!
Surprised at how someone can harbor such strong negativity.
Getting my lemonade squeezed fresh
I enjoy freshly squeezed lemonade.
No refrigerator touching my shit
Nothing ordinary touches what belongs to me.
Private island, waiter chef-made
Describing a luxurious lifestyle, including a private island and personal chefs.
Brother riding jet skis all day
Even my brother leisurely rides jet skis all day.
Come home to bed already made for us
I come home to a bed that's already prepared.
Niggas who's winning like this they got a name for us
People recognize and acknowledge winners like us.
Fucking champions cause we run the game, Forrest
We are champions dominating the industry, akin to Forrest Gump.
I got so many things running through my mind (let me hear that)
Reiteration of the multitude of thoughts running through my mind.
Just drink and smoke, while the flow, unwinds
I find solace in drinking and smoking while allowing my creativity to flow.
I mean why'd you do that?
Raising a question about someone's actions.
How does that fall in line with your whole ideology of being a Taylor?
Challenging the individual's adherence to the Taylor ideology.
Taylors do what they want to do
Explaining that individuals associated with Taylor do as they please.
That's the ideology about it
Elaborating on the ideology of being a Taylor, emphasizing personal freedom.
For me, personally, I prided myself on
Personally taking pride in doing unconventional and unique things.
Doing things that were different
Choosing actions that deviate from the norm.
And kinda like unacceptable and weird
Embracing activities that may be considered unacceptable or strange.
So when I start seeing things become the norm
Expressing discomfort when unconventional things become widely accepted.
I kinda stray away from that
Choosing to distance oneself from mainstream norms.
