Problems
Acito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I have some problems
And
Ain't a day up in this life that I ain't got some problems
It's nothin' to me, I just let this MAC-11 solve 'em
I heard that nigga did the race but my brother caught him
And don't be talkin' "bout these problems if you ain't tryna
Been chasin' 'round and gunnin' down up in broad day
Can't have the nigga on your team, we 'bout that gun play
Was fourteen the first time I ever shot ak
And I ain't talkin' in the air, that's what you thinkin', man
Y'all be fuckin' with some dust recorder, live wire
Re-evaluate to light the way that's fully fire
I know some killers from the A, shout out my insiders
We keep it solid on my side, you know we keep it quiet
What you know "bout really fucking for the block though
Your heart popping every time you at the corner store
Can never tell, don't be walking through that front door
Got me clutching on this, Nina, ready to let it blow
I have some problems
And I have some problems
And I have some problems
And no one could see beside him
Aye, look
I risk my life to take a life, but that's how the gang go
Pistol on my hip, won't let a sucka take mv soul
Always on my grind, so I'm always on the road
I got that good dope, even your baby
Momma know
The devil on my back so I always be prayin'
And I don't really care what these
Suckas be sayin'
Could give your ass some game, but you always complainin'
When times get hard, we gon' have to thug it out
I could go with no help, ain't never need a handout
Find me in the hood 'cause we ain't never made it out
Walk up on a sucka, watch him turn the other way
You gon' need some life support when these bullets hit your face
Wanna play about the gang, all my shooters gonna spray
Bring my brothers out the cage, We just waitin' on that day
I got too many problems, but them problems, they can wait
Tryna touch a hunnid K and toke a foreign any day, nigga
I have some problems
And no one could see beside him
But I have some problems
And no one could see beside him

The first lines of the song, "Ain't a day up in this life that I ain't got some problems, it's nothing to me, I just let this MAC-11 solve 'em," reflect the artist's belief that violence is the solution to his problems. He talks about a person who did the race, but the singer's brother caught him, and it is implied that he might have used violence to solve that particular problem.

He talks about what it really means to "f*ck for the block" and the kind of lifestyle that involves clutching a gun, ready to let it blow on anybody. The song ends with the repeating lines of "I have some problems" indicating that the singer's problems are still there and are not going away any time soon.

And I don't really care what these

Walk up on a sucka, watch him turn the other way
I am a formidable presence and others back down when I approach them
You gon' need some life support when these bullets hit your face
If I shoot you, you will need medical attention to survive
Wanna play about the gang, all my shooters gonna spray
If you mess with my gang, my shooters will retaliate with violence
Bring my brothers out the cage, We just waitin' on that day
I am waiting for my incarcerated friends to be released from prison
I got too many problems, but them problems, they can wait
I have a lot of problems but am not overly concerned about them
Tryna touch a hunnid K and toke a foreign any day, nigga
I am working hard to earn $100,000 and drive a luxury car
And no one could see beside him
Despite appearing tough and independent, I am struggling with my problems alone
