Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
Know you wanna get a touch
That’s why I gotta pull up
Say I’m acting different
Why you never show up
Please pardon my French if I get reckless
300 on the m-way fuck the exit
You look like a meal in that two piece
I show up and show out they hate from the sideline
They blow up my phone but I never reply them
Please pardon my French if I get reckless
300 on the m-way fuck the exit
Now you wan’ fuck with the crew
Now you wan’ sing all my tunes
Imma go hop in the coupe
I been working out the basement
I got nothing I can lose
I done made so much shit happen I ain’t turn 22
Overdo it never basic
Niggas rap but they don’t say shit
Say you in it for the clout
I do this shit to set the paces
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
Caught, caught up
C-c-c-caught up
That’s just how a nigga brought up
Caught, caught up
Caught, caught up
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
That’s just how a nigga brought up
Riding around in a Rari the world is my track so I get up and skrrr
Woke up this morning I’m chasing the bag I ain’t stressing or worried bout her
Love me or leave me behind but you never gon’ leave me inside of the dirt
I got the juice but it’s not for you niggas you might have to put in the work
Please pardon my French if I get reckless
300 on the m-way fuck the exit
Now you wan’ fuck with the crew
Now you wan’ sing all my tunes
Imma go hop in the coupe
I been working out the basement
I got nothing I can lose
I done made so much shit happen I ain’t turn 22
Overdo it never basic
Niggas rap but they don’t say shit
Say you in it for the clout
I do this shit to set the paces
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
Caught, caught up
C-c-c-caught up
That’s just how a nigga brought up
Caught, caught up
Caught, caught up
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
That’s just how a nigga brought up

Line by Line Meaning
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by something
Caught, caught, caught, caught up
Unable to escape or move past a certain situation
Know you wanna get a touch
You desire physical contact or connection
That’s why I gotta pull up
Which is why I need to be present or come through
Say I’m acting different
You claim I'm behaving changed
Why you never show up
Why don't you ever appear or arrive
Please pardon my French if I get reckless
Excuse my language if I become impulsive or wild
300 on the m-way fuck the exit
Riding fast on the motorway, disregarding the exit
Life feel like I’m in a movie
Life feels surreal as if I'm in a film
You look like a meal in that two piece
You appear stunning in that outfit
