Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pray to God my brothers change cuz they be living like that
On the corner they was serving that crack
He put two up in his shoe they couldn't find where it's at
And every night we grind if we don't eat it's a wrap
I got love for all my slimes you know I'm rocking with slat
But Lord I need your grace and need a couple of racks ay
Take a trip to pluto ayI might go to mars
I swear they got me feeling like I'm Ruso
Cuz we flying with the stars
I just did the dash up in a two door
Cuz they don't show no love
But I'm feeling like I'm Ruso
Cuz we flying with the stars
I just wanna be where you at
You got me running back like it's a victory lap
And we coming that's a fact I got the team on my back
For me you took the nails and not the ones with Shellac
I got a plan to make it out so ima handle the task
Cdg the shoes ring cost like a stack
Trynna live the way we dream but ima watch for the grass
It really be your homies who be snaking like that
I said it really be your homies who be snaking like that I don't get
Told my mom I'm touching a mill so don't sweat it
I keep family close I can't help it
Everywhere we go we approved like good credit
Dior scarf I'm dripping boy get a helmet
Or better yet an umbrella
I'm on your block like Coachella
& we still saving these souls we big winners let's go
Cuz we came from the bottom you can ask we don't cap
Pray to God my brothers change cuz they be living like that
On the corner they was serving that crackHe put two up in his shoe they couldn't find where it's at
And every night we grind if we don't eat it's a wrap
I got love for all my slimes you know i'm rocking with slat
But Lord i need your grace and need a couple of racks ay
Take a trip to pluto ay
I might go to mars
I swear they got me feeling like I'm Ruso
Cuz we flying with the stars
I just did the dash up in a two door
Cuz they don't show no love
But I'm feeling like I'm Ruso
Cuz we flying with the stars

Pray to God my brothers change cuz they be living like that
I hope my friends change because they are living a dangerous lifestyle
On the corner they was serving that crack
Drug dealing was happening on the street corner
He put two up in his shoe they couldn't find where it's at
He hid two drugs in his shoe and they couldn't locate it
And every night we grind if we don't eat it's a wrap
We work hard every night, if we don't succeed, it's over
I got love for all my slimes you know I'm rocking with slat

I swear they got me feeling like I'm Ruso

Cuz we flying with the stars
We are reaching great heights
I just did the dash up in a two door
I drove fast in a fancy car
Cuz they don't show no love
Because they do not support or appreciate me
I just wanna be where you at
I want to be by your side
You got me running back like it's a victory lap
You make me return like I have won a race
And we coming that's a fact I got the team on my back
We are coming forward with determination, leading the team

You sacrificed for me without asking for anything in return
I got a plan to make it out so ima handle the task
I have a strategy to succeed and I will tackle the challenges

Trynna live the way we dream but ima watch for the grass
I am trying to live our dream, but I am cautious of the obstacles
It really be your homies who be snaking like that
Sometimes, your friends can betray you
I said it really be your homies who be snaking like that I don't get
It is surprising when even friends betray you
Told my mom I'm touching a mill so don't sweat it
I informed my mother I will reach a million dollars, so she shouldn't worry
I keep family close I can't help it
I prioritize my family as I cannot change this
Everywhere we go we approved like good credit
Wherever we go, we are accepted and trusted
Dior scarf I'm dripping boy get a helmet
My luxurious Dior scarf shows my wealth, you may need protection
Or better yet an umbrella
Or maybe an umbrella to shield yourself from my success
I'm on your block like Coachella
I am present in your neighborhood like a popular music festival
& we still saving these souls we big winners let's go
We are helping people and succeeding, let's continue
Believe me ay

One hundred bands is my wealth
Fifty bands that's me
Fifty bands also belong to me
A million that's me
