Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is what you make it
I'm makin' money, what's mine i'ma take it
So cold, got your nose runnin'
Ey suppose I make it big will you be
The same if I start stunting?
Gang gang like Naruto
Blastin' off like Bakugo
For my fam I go ten toes
Images of sold out shows
Walkin' to the local store
Dreams of going on tour
Tired of knocking man I'm finna blasting through the door
Finna live the life of chains and cars
Clock in the studio hours
When I shoot I don't miss I hit the mark
Operate at your league, I swim with the sharks
Zoom across the world like a shootin' star
Got the Mamba mindset the whole nine yards
Finna bout to make it
Give my bro a new car
Give my mom a crib with a lawn lookin like a park
And I just
I just wanna dive into a new day
Ey ey everybody ey
Sun shinin' on my head, ey, ey, shining on my
I just wanna dive into a new day
Ey ey everybody
Ey sun shinin' on my head, ey, ey, shining on my
This for the fakes who only here for the cake
You can spot a snake lookin at their rattles shake shake shake shaky shake
Hidin' like a kappa in a lake, loyalty at stake
Only the real can relate, the feelin is innate
Swervin' switchin' sides make your back ache
Make you Toosie Slide like I'm Drake
It goes, put your both feet up n now break
I don' really care if you hate or love me, nah
I don' really care if you below or above me, nah
I don' really care if you feel my vibe or not homie
I got some who ride till we die homie
I can see that you like to lie to me huh
I can see that you like to fly on me huh
You either slime or not, that's the line homie
You better duck, you in my line of sight phonie
Finna be the best to do this like I'm Kobe. Ha
I just wanna dive into a new day




Ey ey everybody ey
Sun shinin' on my head, ey, ey, shining on my
