Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where Iโฒm from
Aye, where I'm from
O-C-O-E-E
Put my head down to the ground, no, this ainโฒt as big as it gets
Holdin' my horses, I had to sit down, I was trippin' and takinโฒ a risk
Just โฒcause the time runnin' down on the clock
Just chill and be patient
Keep workin' on you and youโฒll see that thing comin' in
Quick
Aye, but most of โฒem quit
Before they see fruits of the labor
Not me, 'cause I put too much work in the switch
Had to write that thing down on some paper
Ain't no turninโฒ back, my dawg, this is it
I ball, Mariano Rivera, Iโฒm good where I'm at
Iโฒve been workin' my pitch
Beinโฒ the answer to prayers
Some people is better than findin' a niche
I need me somebody with so many layers
A lot of these women be
Surface
Baby, whatโฒs your purpose?
I want to give you the world
But you got to show me you're worth it
I do not care how you twerkin'
I wanna see how you worship, uh, uh
And how do you act when we open the door?
We leavinโฒ the churches
Itโฒs crazy how everything workin'
How could You take all my burdens?
Lord, I know that I ainโฒt perfect
But when I go back to my dawgs
They see a whole different person
No, I don't care what they sayinโฒ
No, I don't care if they chirpinโฒ
That's for the birds
On me like Usher, I won't let it burn
People around me, I had to discern
Everyone act like they love you, they takinโฒ they turns
Respect is what you gotta earn
Enemy lyinโฒ, get sprayed like a germ
He had to resign, we cuttin' his term
And G-O-D went set me straight like a perm
Now I ride with the Shepherd, I ride with the herd
(I really donโฒt care what you think)
Put my head down to the ground, no, this ain't as big as it gets
Holdinโฒ my horses, I had to sit down, I was tripping and takin' a risk
Just โฒcause the time runnin' down on the clock
No, that don't mean that you gotta blitz
Just chill and be patient, keep workinโฒ on you
And youโฒll see that thing comin' in
Canโฒt you see how we comin' in?
Canโฒt you see how we comin' in?
Got the Kingdom with me
Yeah, thatโฒs my only government
Ain't removin' my covenant
This ainโฒt wrong
I just want to see all my brothers win
Canโฒt you see what we up against?
Went through trauma, that drama that might not come up again
Just see a problem with runnin' in
Like it was a fire or somethinโฒ the way that we wired
Different than all the rest
When you go higher and higher
It's crazy how everyone hittinโฒ you up with a text
Now they saying I'm hot like a lighter
Donโฒt miss, but I 'member back then was a hit in the net
I've been changed in the spirit, not changed in the check
Winninโฒ got me a cure for the fear and the stress
Know they upset, they see me skippinโฒ a step
When I look back, don't want no regrets
So I just
Put my head down to the ground, no, this ainโฒt as big as it gets
Holdin' my horses, I had to sit down, I was trippinโฒ and takin' a risk
Just โฒcause the time runnin' down on the clock
No, that don't mean that you gotta blitz
Just chill and be patient, keep workinโฒ on you
And youโฒll see that thing comin' in
Quick
In the first verse of Caleb Gordon's "Quick," the artist reflects on his origins and roots, identifying with his hometown of Ocoee in the year 2000. The lyrics convey a sense of grounding and humility as the singer puts his head down and acknowledges that despite current challenges, there is more to achieve. The imagery of holding back and not rushing into action is emphasized, with the message to be patient and focused on personal growth to eventually see success manifest quickly.
The second verse delves into themes of perseverance and dedication to one's goals. The artist contrasts himself with those who give up before reaping the rewards of their hard work, emphasizing his relentless work ethic by stating that he has invested too much to turn back now. The use of baseball legend Mariano Rivera as a symbol of excellence reinforces the idea that the singer is confident in his abilities and comfortable with where he is in his journey.
Moving into the third verse, there is a shift in focus towards relationships and the search for depth and authenticity. The artist expresses a desire for a partner with substance, questioning their purpose and values. The contrast between surface-level interactions and meaningful connections is highlighted, with an emphasis on wanting to see how someone behaves in different contexts, such as leaving church. This verse explores themes of spiritual compatibility and the importance of genuine connection in relationships.
The final verse of the song delves into themes of faith, personal growth, and overcoming obstacles. The artist references seeking guidance from a higher power to navigate life's challenges and stay true to oneself. There is a rejection of negativity and superficiality, with a clear determination to rise above external judgment. The imagery of riding with the Shepherd and the herd conveys a sense of divine protection and guidance. The repeated refrain of putting one's head down and staying focused serves as a constant reminder to remain steadfast and patient in the face of adversity, ultimately leading to the realization of one's goals.

Had to write that thing down on some paper
Documenting goals and plans for success
