Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo hold up
Let me talk my shit
Y’all really aint ready for whats about to happen
This shit is easy, Ha
Lets get it
Listen up
And yeah I had some better days
Every time I wake up I'm movin like em cheverelets
I'm from the island where you grinding with some heavyweights
Said I'd never do my thing well I just let em hate
Food is on my dinner plate yeah I'm starvin
Went from selling Knicks now I'm feeling like the garden
Had my heart broken bet you wonder why I'm charmin
Still dead broke can't even get an apartment
Sike!
I heard it all, everything that I'd never be
Chasin all this cellary tryna become a better me
Back up In the studio still bumpin to this melody
Even at work my uncle he tried to bury me
Better dig harder cause Ima bit smarter
Money on my mind yeah I get it from my father
They said it was impossible I shouldn't even bother
Nowadays we'll do anything to make a dollar
Penny and a dream look how far it got me
Pops in the kitchen cookin chicken with some Broccoli
Workin 7 days said nothing will ever stop me
Cherish all the times were together watching hockey
Football sunday hoped i would ball one day
Just put me on the field man I just want one play
And right away I'll get to working
Now I got em turnin heads like there neck is broken
Always claimed my direction was far fetched
Part time no calls yet
Every other Tuesday can't wait to see my check
I'm pissed they even got me on the list won’t hire me
I'm still the same dude you used write up in your diary
How could you look up in my eyes then turn your back
Then try to play off man what type of shit is that
But it's okay I been loyal since the first day
And even tho this hurts me it's feeling like my birthday
I'm reborn
There ain't no storm in my route
So fuck a Sandy I'll bring Irene and call it a group
And I’ll bring drama to your front door, I’m ringing the bell
Even when you in heaven somebodies bringing you hell
On the road to riches bet they praying you fail
Dudes I grew up with are are good, dead, or sitting in jail
They wishin me well
But luck don't matter
You gotta chase your dreams or your dreams gon shatter
Now I’m married to a bad bitch can’t get no better
And she all about them bands go and get that cheddar
Cheese, for the picture
The futures looking bright i can only see it with ya
Now heres the moment that I waited for
The come ups real like Strawberry in 84
I want it all maybe more
Always buying something new everytime that my lady call
I told them I was leaving they praying to see me fall, yeah
I promise I wasn’t fake to em
But being broke, I could never relate to em
I see the hate, and now they acting fishy
If they try to hit my line Ima go and get the bait for em
Get it?
And yeah I stay balling
Sprung out on all the money I can hear the may calling
I mean, Yo bae calling while you sitting at home
Im counting money while she giving me dome
This the life bro
And all them dark days just let the light glow
Pockets kinda fat I need some lipo, I’m hyped though
I told Gooch we Gucci but no designer
Thats my day one he sitting on the recliner
My boys with me while I’m sipping this wine
Cause everyday we celebrating but we still gonna grind
Yo theres levels to this shit, can’t see em from mine
Told me life was a bitch well she damn sure is fine
Man I told y’all, y’all weren’t ready for this




Its ya boy Knab
Lets go

Even though we celebrate every day, we will continue to work hard


Yo theres levels to this shit, can’t see em from mine
There are varying levels of success, and you cannot comprehend them from my perspective


Told me life was a bitch well she damn sure is fine
People mentioned that life is challenging, but I find it to be incredibly attractive

I warned all of you that you were unprepared for what I have to offer

I love self checkout registers. I don’t feel like standing in line for 45 minutes because only 3 in-person registers are open. I use to be a manager in a discount store and let me tell you, it is a lot of complex things to deal with. You will have plenty of call outs and disgruntled workers due to dissatisfaction with pay, excessive workload, and/or dealing with the general public. And before someone advise that the employee just needs to find another job, just remember that is the reason why you only have those 3 in-person registers available!

I really enjoy your channel. Straight forward no BS.

I'm just looking for Turbo Man! One of my favorite Christmas movies. Good job Edward, keep up the great videos!

My husband started working on the farm when he was a child. By 13 he was on a construction crew. By 16 he started a roofing company with his 18 year old brother.

They can't even start a construction job until age 18 now because of the stupid child labor laws. So all the crews around here know you don't hire young Americans. A young Mexican is going to already have half a decade of experience over him. America has infantilized their youth.

I live in southern Indiana. The Amish do most of the carpentry work and their kids are there with them working. Not small kids but teenagers.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.
