Overall Meaning

In Busy Signal's song "My World", the singer describes his world as a "gangsta's paradise" where weed, guns, and girls are the norm. He warns that living in this world is not a game and that it's important to be straight like an arrow and to concentrate in order to survive. He talks about the dangers of trusting those around you and lends out a warning that even shadows cannot be trusted after dark. He explains that it's important to stay alert, never lose your focus or borrow money as it can lead to dangerous situations.


The chorus repeats the phrase "welcome to my world," which is meant to represent the harsh realities of life in the ghetto. The song is a cautionary tale of the dangers of living in a world of violence and crime, where the only things that matter are money, women, and guns. Busy Signal effectively paints a picture of the harsh realities of inner-city life and the struggles that people face just to survive.
