Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Graham D's song "When" are a commentary on the pursuit of wealth and success. The song begins with the artist reminding himself of what his father had told him, telling him that he would buy a Mercedes Benz, build houses, blow (become successful), and become a billionaire. He repeats the questions "if not now then when?" throughout the song, pushing himself to actively pursue these desires.


The artist then reflects on the dangers of seeking quick riches and fame without considering the consequences or potential harm to others. He urges listeners to not be like "Small Pikin," who is impatient and selfish in his pursuit of money. Instead, he suggests that success will come in due time and through hard work, reminding listeners that "God's time is the best."
