Too Late
French Montana Jim Jones Lyrics

Dipset, Coke Boys
Collaboration of the artists, representing their groups.

Somethin' epic, you know?
Anticipation and expectation of something amazing in the song.

French, what up? BX, what up?
Shouting out to French Montana and his home borough of the Bronx.

Harlem, what's bangin'?
Shouting out to Jim Jones's hometown of Harlem.

Lost in the fog, these hollow hills (haha)
Feeling lost in a dangerous and uncertain situation.

Blood runnin' hot, night chills (there's power in we)
Experiencing a mix of powerful emotions such as excitement and fear.

So long and lost, are you missin' me? (You gettin' money or lookin' for me huh? Huh?)
Wondering if someone is missing them, or trying to find them to collect money owed.

Is it too late to come on home? (Huh?)
Questioning if it is too late to reconcile with someone or a city.

Can the city forgive? (Holla at me) I hear it's a sad song(uh)
Asking if the city is still holding grudges, and acknowledging the sadness or pain that may have been caused previously.

Through the fire, right through the fall
Continuing on no matter the obstacles or challenges faced.

Big bag like Santa Claus
Having a large amount of money or wealth.

New sauce for the summer sauce
Bringing something new, fresh and exciting to the rap game.

Marchin' band, we the drummer boys
Representing themselves as the leaders in the rap game, leading the way and making noise.

And tell the crib I'm on the way back
Informing someone that they are returning home.

Dallach to my goals, took the plane back
Achieving their goals and returning home via plane.

And they prayed he ain't came back
Their competitors were hoping they did not return.

All Rocky like A$AP
Feeling confident like A$AP Rocky, a well-known rapper.

Indecisive, persuasive, face lift
Having the ability to influence others with ease and confidence, but being indecisive in what they want.

Top down, ageless, timeless, stone age
Driving a car with the top down, feeling like it is a timeless classic, but still stuck in the past.

Runnin' out of patience, servin' up the patients
Growing tired of waiting and providing them with what they have been waiting for.

No navigation, grind like bad brakes
Working hard without a set path or direction, like having bad brakes that grind.

Eatin' lobster with the crabs, that's the bad taste
Celebrating success with those who did not support them, leaving a bad taste in their mouth.

Same niggas on the roster from the bad days
Still being affiliated with the same group of people from their past.

Niggas on the rat race
Being caught up in the constant pursuit of success and wanting more, similar to a race for survival.

Same niggas laughin' at us started laughin' with us
People who used to ridicule them are now laughing with them in celebration of their success.

'Cause all the slammed doors turned to Lamb' Porsches
Previously being rejected and denied, but now owning luxurious cars like Lamborghini and Porsche.

(It's never too late to come home for a gangsta)
Stating that no matter how long it has been, it is never too late to return home.

If nobody died then it's not a beef (facts)
Saying that if there were no serious consequences or anyone hurt, then it was not truly a beef or argument.

Contrary to the lies, we all got beliefs (As-salamu Alaykum)
Despite different opinions and disagreements, they all have beliefs and respect towards one another.

Still keep it in my rider or my boxer briefs (loaded)
Carrying weapons on their person for protection or preparedness.

Hood nigga got them yachts dockin' by the beach (Elly, what up?)
A hood person who has made it in life and can afford luxuries like docks for their yachts.

They still treat me like a god when I'm in the H (Harlem)
Receiving much respect and admiration when they are in Harlem, still considered a hometown king.

Cut lawyers that eat the charge like a dinner plate (Yanna)
Having good lawyers who are able to handle legal issues or charges easily.

We was just duckin' them charges on the interstate (facts)
Avoiding charges while traveling on the interstate.

Watch fifty, that's an extra twenty large in the face
Being cautious and aware of their surroundings, as anything can happen and result in a loss of money.

We both gettin' money, that is not the issue (you hear me?)
The money is not an issue, but other things may be.

I'm tryin' to find my woosa like some chakra crystals (pray for me)
Searching for inner peace and balance through spiritual methods like chakra crystals.

Still hit a nigga with a TEC, but I ain't got a whistle
Capable of using force, but doing so discreetly without drawing attention.

Slide through the wake, make sure your mom's get a box of tissue (Kleenex)
Visiting a wake or funeral and bringing comfort to the family who is grieving.

We gon' hit whoever rockin' with you (who?)
Taking down anyone who associates with an enemy or rival.

Catch your ass in Houston, shoot you, make sure you got rockets with you (Nero, what up?)
Being prepared to take down someone if they are found in the city of Houston, even if they have protection.

We come home and get a welcomin' committee
Being celebrated and welcomed warmly when returning home.

When you fuck niggas go home you ain't welcomed in your city, but (nigga)
Mentioning those who are not respected in their own city or are even unwelcomed when returning.

Is it too late (too late for what?) To come on home? (Nigga, when I show up late I'm right on time) Is it too late (better late than never) To come on home? (You heard?) Can the city forgive? I hear it's a sad song Is it too late to come on home? (Haha) (Is it too late?)
Reiterating the question if it is too late to come back home, while also expressing that it is never too late to return. Wanting to know if the city is ready to welcome them back and if they are forgiven for any past wrongdoings. Using humor to lighten the tone.

They told me if you gettin' money then it shouldn't be able to fit in your pocket, nigga
Others have told them that if they are successful, their money should not fit in their pocket, implying it is too much to carry.

Ha, my money can't fit in a bag so what type of bag you niggas is gettin'?
Having so much money that it cannot even fit in a bag, expressing their wealth and superiority over others.

We drinkin' Ace and Ciroc all night, you heard
Enjoying high-end, expensive alcohol and partying all night long.

Ha, I been a bad boy, tell Diddy I been sellin' that Danity Kane to get that dirty money you heard me, money?
Referencing the label Bad Boy Records and jokingly stating they have been selling Danity Kane merchandise for an income. Asking if the listener understands.

French, what's up? BX, Harlem
Once again, giving shouts to French Montana, BX and Harlem.
