Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me uncle snoop I'm smoking green getting hella Loose
Tell me what I gotta lose cause everyday I do produce
Working on myself my self esteem yeah it did improve
Cant you see it I be working more than 10 to 2 prolly why I'm so attentive Tennis I be serving you
I'm on the premise so I promise that I will remove any unattended sloppy hoes that be coming through
You be a burden you be thinking you be picture perfect
You never worth it I be certain never getting nervous
You catch me flirting I be skirting moving with a purpose
Notice
I never get demoted
I'm staying up late wide eyed and devoted
Until I get promoted everyone be my opponent
They showing no respect it be the lack of melatonin
The funny thing about me my homies joke about it
The people from my hometowns the only ones that doubted
And now I'm standing right here I be the ones that clowning
All of em
I call em out
They feeling bad about cause
Aye
I be here for the long Haul
Up late phone on I be on call
No breaks High stakes ya'll dozed off
I make my plate ya its your loss
Aye
I be here for the long Haul
Up late phone on I be on call
No breaks High stakes ya'll dozed off
I make my plate ya its your loss
Look at my success
Most of y'all impressed
I came along way I be taking many reps
The person who I want to be I'm taking baby steps
I'm almost at the peak of it so why am I depressed?
My music getting better but my buzz is gaining less
It's hard for me swallow puke it up I make a mess
I try to "Fight The Feeling" Macadelic did effect
The way I'm making music found the cause and then effect
Aye
Why you so Introspective?
Conflicts they turn to lessons
I learned I'm not dependent
Confirmed that my incentive
That hard work gonna gonna save my life
So alright everyday Imma pay the price
5 years I've faced all types of nights I go crazy out late little poltergeist
Yeah I never wanna try it I be scared to die
There's no denying I was young and dumb I'm terrified
But now I'm grown up and life been so amplified but making music everyday Imma roll the dice
Aye
Why you so Introspective?
Conflicts they turn to lessons
I learned I'm not dependent
Confirmed that my incentive
