Last time next time we home
Rest time last time we out
Last time next time
Last time next time
Yo
Last time next time we home
Rest time last time we out
Last time next time
Ohh oh oh oh
Until you rock like me you should not be here at all oh lord
Until you rock like me you should not be here at all
Won't see my P R I N C 3 no more
It won't be like this no more
Won't see thy kingdom come
It got trampled over
Is it me I see
Or the cheese I eat
Deebo you know what my stares like
This what killed Mike steez
Yeah yeah come for me I'll be there
Yeah yeah I'm from tha legion
Yeah yeah flush all my emails
Ohh oh oh oh
Until you rock like me you should not be here at all oh lord oh yeah
Until you rock like me you should not be here at all

Until you rock like me you should not be here at all
No one loves you like this
No one loves you like this

The lyrics to 1.9.9.9's song "Till Next Time" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be about the idea of homecoming and returning to familiar surroundings while also acknowledging the sacrifices that have been made to achieve success. The repetition of "last time, next time" suggests a cyclical nature of leaving and returning, whether it's leaving home to go on tour or leaving a project behind and returning to complete it. The line, "Until you rock like me you should not be here at all" could be seen as a warning to those who haven't paid their dues and earned their place, that they don't belong in this world or in this industry.
The lyricist seems to be reflecting on their success and the impact it has had on their personal life. The lines "Won't see my P R I N C 3 no more / It won't be like this no more / Won't see thy kingdom come / It got trampled over" suggest that they have lost something important to them in the pursuit of their dreams. The reference to "Deebo" and "what killed Mike steez" could be interpreted as a comment on the danger and violence that can come with success, or it could simply be a reference to popular culture.
The repeated lines "No one loves you like this" could be seen as a reminder to the lyricist themselves that they are loved and appreciated, or it could be directed at someone who is feeling lost and disconnected.
