Now I'm gettin' all this change, goddamn
Done changed, goddamn, see all the chains, goddamn
La Musica de Harry Fraud
Your ting, goddamn
Man, I think a nigga did it on purpose (purpose)
I'ma hit him in the face on purpose (on purpose)
Get the fuck from 'round me if you nervous (if you nervous)
G-g-grew up on the block with the drug lords (drug lords)
They give a fuck about a gun charge (gun charge)
Catch 1-3 and do the service (do the service)
Get the fuck from 'round me if you nervous (ayy)
G-g-grew up on the block with the drug lords (drug lords)
I turned the roof into a Lamb'
I turned a brick from a gram (gram)
I built a castle from the sand (sand)
My homie might die in the pen' though
My mama dry clothes out the window (window)
Dope boy ridin' with extendo (extendo)
Youngin' sellin' dope for a Benzo
S-s-see a young nigga floss (floss)
Movin' like a boss (like a boss)
Spun around the block in the Lambo' (Lambo)
Hangin' off the horse like Rambo (skrrt)
Cut another mill and do the dash
F-f-fuck about shit, coulda had

In "Nervous," French Montana explores his rise to fame and success, pointing out how people have changed around him since then. The song opens with a commentary on people's newfound fascination with his wealth, as he repeats "done changed" and "see all the chains," highlighting the superficiality of individuals whose opinions on his life's journey have suddenly altered. The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, serving as a motivating force for Montana to keep moving forward and maintaining the same level of resilience that he had to stay alive while moving up from humble beginnings.
The line "grew up on the block with the drug lords" is an accurate portrayal of Montana's upbringing. His experiences on the streets of the Bronx reveal his familiarity with "drug lords," "gun charges," and "catching one to three," as he talks about how these experiences have shaped him into the person he is today. Montana's confidence exudes throughout the song as he boasts about the crime life and how they have helped him create his world of riches. He advises those who doubt him to be certain of themselves because he knows the inherent dangers of living a life this way.
The song's production, by Harry Fraud, is exceptional, with French Montana's lyrics blending perfectly with the instrumentation's tone, creating a rhythmic flow. "Nervous" is an interesting single with a steady melody that combines elements of the hip-hop and trap genres. The song was released in 2018 and became part of Montana's third studio album, "Montana."
