Line by Line Meaning

Definitely the strongest shit on the shelf
This song is undoubtedly the best among all other songs.


Double r, d-block 1st infantry listen the thugs need it, hoes gon use it me im just a young nigga that make old music shit is real
Even the hardest and the deepest corners of society, from gangsters to women, all need this music. I, as the creator of this song, am young but my soul has an old music style, so everything I say is real.


I put the emp on the 4 keep it wit me 'cause possetions 9 10ths of the law
I always keep my gun with me since owning something means having control over it.


Here I am doin' all that I can goin' all out again even had a daughter born outta' sin
I'm doing all I can and putting all my effort to make this music, even though I have a daughter from a previous relationship that society might consider wrong.


Nigga I make pennies cinnamatic I spit dope and u been a attic
I earn very little money from making music, but my rhymes are so addictive that it would feel like you're high and trapped.


Treat jail like beef somting like somthin' big with the scope under the winter jacket I use the winter tactics
I approach jail as a challenge, just like how one approaches a big beefy meal. I always carry a gun hidden under my winter jacket, ready to shoot when needed.


And I know u try'n to play the role but bullets the wrong shit to inneract wit
I understand that some people try to act tough or gangster, but using guns is not something you play with.


I hurt the game, hurt them phines soon as you churp somthin' these niggas ill' churp genene yeah let 'em all cock ride wit a mansion and a bottle and the walls spin counter-clockwise
I'm damaging the music industry with my rhymes, and those who claim to be tough but don't actually do anything will try to make fun of me. Let them keep drinking and partying in their mansions, even if they're losing their grip on reality.


Midas well go on go and see papi cause niggas only know three words he shot me
You might as well go ahead and visit your boss, 'papi,' because many people in this industry only say, 'he shot me,' when they encounter problems.


That's why I be eye'n 'em down no dap, no rap 'cause these niggas be wired for sound
That's why I'm watching them carefully, with no handshakes or collaborations, as many people are secretly recording conversations.


But I still put a hole in a goon jada montaga still put a hole in a spoon lay da bond lay 'em plenty guns plenty ammo
But I'm not afraid to shoot someone who deserves it, just like Jada Montaga. I have plenty of guns and ammo ready for when needed.


Remember this ''calmate cete calmo'' mutha-fuckas
Always remember to 'calmate cete calmo' or 'calm yourself down,' m****rf****rs.
