Lyrics

He just came home, man, he just came home

He recently returned home.

Eighteen years old

At the age of eighteen.

He just came home, man, he just came home

Reiteration of his recent return home.

Eighteen years old

Emphasis on his young age of eighteen upon return.

The told him he was free, yeah

Authorities confirmed his freedom.

But he headed straight to the bando

Instead of celebrating freedom, he went to the "bando" (possibly a term for a place associated with illegal activities).

The told him he was free, yeah

Reiteration of authorities confirming his freedom.

But he headed straight to the bando

Reiteration of his choice to go to the "bando" despite being free.


Ayy, what's that snap? yeah

Expressing curiosity about a specific sound or event.

Come on, gotta show them

Encouragement to showcase his freshness after returning home.

That you're fresh home, innit?

Encouraging him to demonstrate his newly gained freedom.

Come on, man you know mans back

Affirmation of his return and reintegration into normal life.

Back out the fuckin' workhouse

Returning from a place associated with labor or hardship (workhouse).

In the fields, 2020 shit

Reference to challenging times in the year 2020.

But hear what I'm saying, my jenna

Addressing someone named Jenna, requesting assistance in connecting with a supplier (plug).

I beg you line up the plug for me

Asking Jenna to arrange a meeting with the supplier due to a need for income.

Cah I need to get back on my feet

Expressing urgency to stabilize financially after returning home.

Fam, pattern up, man

Advising someone to be more responsible, considering the recent return from a presumably difficult situation.

You just come out like two seconds ago

Reminding the person that they recently left a challenging environment, urging them to take it slow.

Just slow your role

Rejecting the idea of slowing down, expressing a strong desire for financial success.

Like, fuck that, I need them racks, B

Emphasizing the need for significant financial gain (racks).


The told him he was free, yeah

Reiteration of authorities confirming his freedom.

The told him he was free, yeah
