Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First order of business, dawg
I gotta thank my mama
Second order of business
Share the blessings, no more trauma
Third order of business
Do good deeds and get good karma
First order of business
Loyalty and gratitude
The only thing you swear me
Will you be the person that's gon' love me in my forties?
First order of business, dawg, I gotta shake the toxic
All this back and forth is weighing heavy on my conscience
When I met your sister, she said, "This nigga's obnoxious"
Fuck the ones comin' for me
Can't focus on the petty, they'll come back and destroy me
Why she speakin' anyway? She fuckin' her employees
I ain't even asked but the room was way too noisy
Yeah
First order of business, dawg
I gotta thank my mama
Second order of business
Share the blessings, no more trauma
Third order of business
Do good deeds and get good karma
First order of business
Give this money to my shorty
Loyalty and gratitude
The only thing you swear me
Will you be the person that's gon' love me in my forties?
Wake up in the morning
Brush my teeth before I see my queen (tick, tick, tick-a-boom)
Wow, who are you? (Ka-boom)
Bitch, I'm two-phone Baby Keem
I think you're selfish, I like soul food
Pussy taste like soul food, that's why you've been my go-to
And that's my whole thing (that's my ting)
I do ho things (that's my ting)
She go both ways (that's my ting), you had a ho-phase
Pussy good, so I come through on my worst days
Like I should, tell me if I'm understood
Yeah
First order of business, dawg
I gotta thank my mama
Second order of business
Share the blessings, no more trauma
Third order of business
Do good deeds and get good karma
First order of business
Give this money to my shorty
Loyalty and gratitude
The only thing you swear me
Will you be the person that's gon' love me in my forties?

The way Keem moves, his creative style, even down to his humility and his grace, you can tell he will have longevity. He has the makings of a legend and we're just fortunate enough to see it all play out in real time. Kudos to him.
