Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been going this hard since a chickadedee. look at how they threw the keys to despicable me. I hit the button you see yellow, 2319.
23 high beams, this ain't no pipe dream. I been gassed since the isleys told me it's my thing.
Been a beast of no nation I go idi imin, I ain't conceited I been, a legend in the making every time I step on the scene. Fuck you niggas hating, tell em suck my dick through my jeans. I got a lot on my plate, every time I peice a brick apart I make sure it's straight. Every time I piece a nigga up I make sure it stick.
Every time we do a possecut it's seal team rick
Peep the contrast, I been hiding in my bunker till the bomb blast. Hyperbolic time chamber till the time pass. I teach you how to make a killing shorting dime bags. Too sleazy, too easy. The coups speeding, shoes greasy, slide quickly, birds landing, bi weekly.
The opening line of "Pipe Dream" is a self-asserting, confident statement; the singer claims that they are at the top, they have made it and nobody can compete with them. This sentiment is then reinforced by a reference to how long the singer has been working hard for success, connecting their success to persistence and hard work over time. The following lines show a bit of humility as the singer references "Despicable Me," taking inspiration from those who have achieved success on a big scale. "2319" is a reference to the movie "Monsters, Inc." and, in this context, it represents the singer's success.
The chorus, "23 high beams this ain't no pipe dream" is a proclamation of their well-deserved success which they affirm by saying it's not a "pipe dream." They have worked hard, hustled, and made sacrifices to get to where they are. The lyrics also reference the singer's experience of being underestimated by family and society, belittled and looked down on, but this only served to motivate and push them to keep working hard to make their dreams come true.
The final lines suggest that the singer has been keeping a low profile, using a "bunker" to work on their craft, refining their skills and abilities. But now, they're ready to show their talents to the world, even teaching others how to be successful in their own right. They celebrate their wealth, success, and fame by enjoying all the pleasures that come with it, owning fast cars and living a fast-paced life, with "shoes greasy" and "birds landing bi weekly."
