Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s never enough
Making the bands
And doubling up
So why do they fuss
Yeah why do they fuss
They mad at the buzz I been bubbling up
Hitting the gas to the floor on the road
Keep it original been on my own
Stay in my lane and I stick to the code
Niggas act tough
It’s never enough
Making the bands
And doubling up
So why do they fuss
Yeah why do they fuss
They mad at the buzz I been bubbling up
Hitting the gas to the floor on the road
Playing my cards and I’m watching 'em fold
Keep it original been on my own
Stay in my lane and I stick to the code
Everyday wake up achieving my goals
Ignoring these niggas I been in my zone
The heir to the throne
I’m taking it home
I been in my bag like a dog to his bone
Can’t pick up the phone
I never be home
Too busy I’m working I’m trynna get on
Illiterate niggas be reading me wrong
He thought he was brodie but nigga I’m gone yeah
Peoples colors always reign true
When you coming up on the debut
So I give it time
Take a look around
Recognize the faces that’ll stay through
You was fake

You was fake too
And you thought I didn’t mean it
But I got a list ooh yeah
Real friends in a small circle
Hole in my heart like the color purple
I’m a seasoned vet with this rap shit
So I’m heating up just like a beach in Myrtle
Need the green to surface
So I put the work in
I been landscaping like I’m in the burbs
And I don’t need nobody
They just wanna stop me
So I’m solo dolo till the day I’m hurting
Niggas act tough
It’s never enough
Making the bands
And doubling up
So why do they fuss
Yeah why do they fuss
They mad at the buzz I been bubbling up
Hitting the gas to the floor on the road
Playing my cards and I’m watching 'em fold
Keep it original been on my own
Stay in my lane and I stick to the code Niggas act tough
It’s never enough
Making the bands
And doubling up
So why do they fuss
Yeah why do they fuss
They mad at the buzz I been bubbling up
Hitting the gas to the floor on the road
Playing my cards and I’m watching 'em fold
