Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bigger picture got me cropped in photoshopped in
Like I pulled up at the drop-in got the hot hand
I was born right in the heartland this was all planned
Ay
I got my phone and my wallet my keys and my smoky I'm right in the pocket
The vibe is electric a fork in the socket
The silence is dangerous load it up drop it
I'm sparking the Flint return of the Tropics
Supplying the flame man you know that I got us
Was riding the bench but I turned to a starter
I started a rapper and turned to an artist
I write every verse like a Pulitzer author
Go banger to banger what more can I offer
I high like the pills that I'm finally off of
I'm late on the rent but I manage to cough up
I grip the mic till it squeeze out a dollar
I got a shorty but she trying to holler
There must be something inside of the water
Fallin' from the heavens I'm a God send boy I'm locked in
Bigger picture got me cropped in photoshopped in
Like I pulled up at the drop-in got the hot hand
I was born right in the heartland this was all planned
I was born up there in Illinois I was born to make some illa noise
Ride round the city in big boy toys
Call the custodian mop up the floors
Walk in the door and I'm dripping in poise
I would of quit by now if I was in this shit for awards
But from where I sit right now I'm duh-duh-duh-duh the world is yours
God sent it yeah
God sent it yeah
No more lies in it yeah
Too much time in it yeah
Too much time wishing yeah
My whole vibe different yeah
My whole life in it yeah
Fallin' from the heavens I'm a God send boy I'm locked in
Bigger picture got me cropped in photoshopped in
Like I pulled up at the drop-in got the hot hand
I was born right in the heartland this was all planned
The Good's song "God" is a high-energy track that has a distinct hip-hop vibe to it.

The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer is someone who has risen from humble beginnings to become something special. The lines "I was born right in the heartland, this was all planned," indicate that the singer believes that his success is not an accident but a result of a higher power's plan for him.
Good's appears to be proud of his roots and where he came from. The lines "I was born up there in Illinois, I was born to make some illa noise, ride round the city in big boy toys," show a sense of pride in his home state, which has played a significant role in shaping who he is today. Furthermore, the line "I started a rapper and turned to an artist, I write every verse like a Pulitzer author" implies that the singer straddles both the world of hip-hop and that of literary writing.
The chorus, "falling from the heavens, I'm a God-send boy, I'm locked in, bigger picture got me cropped in, photoshopped in, like I pulled up at the drop-in got the hot hand," suggests that the singer is someone who has arrived and is now in control. It's almost like he is announcing himself to the world and letting them know that he is here to stay.
