Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl I know you miss the kid
They gone talk about me cus I live how I live
And I did what I did but it is what it is aw
And I'm back at it again
Girl I know you miss the kid
They gone talk about me cus I live how I live
And I did what I did but it is what it is aw
Old hoes tryna hit me up but now I'm out of range
Milli never ever dropped a dime but my pockets changed
Tryna get some more so I can put the gang in diamond chains
Use to hate me now they love me so the feeling kind of strange
It was ugly now I'm moving on to some finer things
That's why we tote these FN's
Put him on his belly end
Ain't tryna take no L again
I'm powered up like Kao Kin
I was bumping seals pills making plays at A&M
Nigga talking bout his life a movie we gone tape that film
Fuck that love shit it never work out like it hate the gym
Cut her off so quick like how the fuck you tryna play a pimp
I need some more patience I be wanting it fast
Seen a lot of dead faces but they don't make me sad
Reminiscing when I think about my brother
I get in my feelings cus we came up out the gutter
Sitting in a prison
That shit fucking up his mind frame
Got capitol murder ain't kill no one that's a crime shame
Life so fucking crazy I just can't believe how times changed
Remember we was throwing up the hood like its sign language
And I'm back at it again
Girl I know you miss the kid
They gone talk about me cus I live how I live
And I did what I did but it is what it is aw
And I'm back at it again
Girl I know you miss the kid
They gone talk about me cus I live how I live
And I did what I did but it is what it is aw
Going in
The way she calling me baby thought I was born again
And these niggas be faking it so its fuck a friend
I been going in baby I been going in
I been going in baby I been going in
The way she calling me baby thought I was born again
And these niggas be faking it so its fuck a friend
I been going in baby I been going in
I been going in baby I been going in
Yeah

And I'm back at it again
Starting fresh
Girl I know you miss the kid
Addressing a woman he knows
They gone talk about me cus I live how I live
People will always be critical
And I did what I did but it is what it is aw
Accepting responsibility for actions
Growing up we had a lot of pain
Reflecting on a tough upbringing
Old hoes tryna hit me up but now I'm out of range
Past lovers no longer relevant
Milli never ever dropped a dime but my pockets changed
Staying loyal to those in the past even with newfound wealth
Tryna get some more so I can put the gang in diamond chains
Working to elevate others in his circle
Use to hate me now they love me so the feeling kind of strange
Dealing with newfound popularity
It was ugly now I'm moving on to some finer things
Upgrading his lifestyle
That's why we tote these FN's
Carrying firearms for protection
Put him on his belly end
Having to take drastic measures to protect oneself
Ain't tryna take no L again
Avoiding another loss
I'm powered up like Kao Kin
Feeling strong and confident
I was bumping seals pills making plays at A&M
Dealing drugs in college
Nigga talking bout his life a movie we gone tape that film
Living life in a cinematic way
Fuck that love shit it never work out like it hate the gym
Disbelieving in love due to past experiences
Cut her off so quick like how the fuck you tryna play a pimp
Ending a romantic relationship swiftly
I need some more patience I be wanting it fast
Learning to be more patient with life
Seen a lot of dead faces but they don't make me sad
Reflecting on witnessing death without emotional attachment
Reminiscing when I think about my brother
Thinking back on childhood memories with a sibling
I get in my feelings cus we came up out the gutter
Feeling nostalgic for tough times growing up
Sitting in a prison
Describing someone in jail
That shit fucking up his mind frame
Jail time having a negative impact on mental health
Got capitol murder ain't kill no one that's a crime shame
Expressing frustration with an unjust legal system
Life so fucking crazy I just can’t believe how times changed
Reflecting on how life has evolved
Remember we was throwing up the hood like its sign language
Recalling past affiliations with a neighborhood or gang
Going in
Dedicating oneself to something fully
The way she calling me baby thought I was born again
Being called a term of endearment
And these niggas be faking it so its fuck a friend
Being distrustful of others' intentions
I been going in baby I been going in
Dedicating oneself to something fully
I been going in baby I been going in
Dedicating oneself to something fully
Yeah
End of the song
