Tagline to credit the music producer

Yeah, it's crazy 'cause, man I was like
The singer is amazed because he witnesses a shooting in a public place

I saw one of these yeas shootin' in the corner
Saw one of these individuals firing gunshots at a specific location

Damn, this nigga really shootin' in the corner
Expressing surprise and disbelief at the act of shooting in public

All the little kids n' shit, everybody runnin'
Describing the chaos and fear caused by the shooting. Children and bystanders were seen running away

He shot the whole van up and I'm like damn
The shooter fired multiple rounds towards a van, making the singer feel shocked

And we dipped
The singer and other people ran away from the scene to avoid getting involved in the shooting

I be so paranoid
The artist has ongoing feelings of anxiety and fear due to the perceived threat of danger

I hear these niggas tryin' to fuck with me
The artist believes that others are plotting against him and trying to harm him

Real shit, I know I got enemies

I'll take your life nigga

Hit you with some shit, you never sign no titties
The artist brags about his ability to surprise and impress people, to a point where they are left in awe and admiration

Know a nigga shinin' all my diamonds 3D
The singer boasts about his wealth and jewelry, which is so appealing that it feels like they are popping out in three-dimensions

I hit a lick, I'm worth a couple million
The singer has made a lot of money quickly through a criminal act

That car near 400 thou nigga
The artist has an expensive car that costs around four hundred thousand dollars

That top drop like Pacquiao nigga
The convertible roof of his car moves down just like Manny Pacquiao dropping his opponents

I hit up K.O.D. and left a hundred in it
The artist spent one hundred thousand dollars at the strip club King of Diamonds and left that amount as a tip

Hundred on my watch I'm shining every minute
The singer displays his Rolex watch, and boasts about the diamond on it and how it always shines bright

They caught him on that corner, left a hundred in him

Paranoia, got me watchin' lawyer
The singer is extremely paranoid and is careful who he trusts even when dealing with his lawyer

Molly water, I'm way too sober

And I made a mill in 30 minutes
The artist has made a million dollars in a short period of time

And I'm ridin', clip with 30 in it
The artist is carrying a high-capacity ammunition magazine with thirty rounds in his gun while driving

When them shots hit him, it's Choppa Down nigga

That baking soda, could help your boy out

Get your head blown off your body for a verse
The artist warns people that if they disrespect him in a song, he will retaliate by killing them

When that choppa hit 'em niggas yellin' holy mercy
The singer suggests that when his enemies are being hit by bullets, they yell for help from mercy

Bloody murder, go and dig the dirt out
