Eric Reprid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We stayed up like every single night tryna make change
I been goin' crazy in that basement tryna maintain
Now these fuckers all up in my dm tryna take things
I'm gon' put my lil' baby in that foreign
Get this fuckin paper up and I'mma go explorin'
Keep my solo cup full till the morning'
For every time I talked about my dreams and you ignored it
They gave me a dollar for this dream I want my bucks back
Dubbin' everybody who left me and wanna come back
If a pussy run up on me bet I'm gon' bust back
Like I said a mansion for the bros is a must have
I just want everyday to go and be a throwback
Ballin' with my dawgs like we kids tryna go back
Pictured this now, as a youth with no Kodak
New racks, I want blue cash, she want new bags, fuck you tell her too bad
Baby I don't do that, make my mood bad, you too sad
Dub you, I can't go back
And I keep showin' love but I want to take it all back
When you left man I swear it made my heart crack
And I can't let nobody see me when I'm down bad
So I'm tryna get this money and my mind back
Won't be stuck
I ain't got no patience for that fake shit now
I been at it for while they give me placements now
Why the fuck I'm still stuck inside this basement now
Baby I'm obsessive and I don't learn my lesson
Scared of the effect if you showin' some affection
Baby be direct or I'll go a new direction
Not a lotta people I would keep inside my section
I'mma
Get mine
Knew I'd get this shit poppin' in time
Promise I'mma
Get mine
Cause a lotta people out here try to
Get mine
They ain't ever gon' take what's mine
I get mine
Yeah
I get mine
The lyrics to Eric Reprid's song "Get Mine" touch on several themes, including perseverance, staying true to oneself, and the pursuit of wealth and success despite the haters and naysayers. The first verse establishes that the singer and his team have been working hard to "make change," with long nights spent in the basement trying "to maintain" that hard work. However, despite this effort, others have begun reaching out, trying to claim a piece of the singer's success. But the singer is undaunted, proclaiming that he will "get this fuckin paper up" and leave them all behind. He has no patience for the fake people who left him before, and intends to dub them and stay true to himself and his vision, even if it means feeling obsessive and not learning his lesson about showing affection.
The chorus reinforces the song's title and core message: the singer is focused and determined to "get mine," and take what's rightfully his. He knew he'd get to this point in time, and he won't let anyone stand in his way. There are people out there who are also trying to "get mine," but the singer is resolute that they won't ever take what's his.
Overall, the song embodies the relentlessness and grit required to achieve success, set against the backdrop of the singer's personal struggles and the doubters he's faced along the way. It serves as a rallying cry for anyone working hard to carve out their own path, and a call to ignore the haters and stay true to your vision.
