Fresh
Imperial & K.I.N.E.T.I.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you hustle for the buck
From waiting on the bus or in the benz truck
Not on your best luck
Wanna move up but you get stuck
All the while naysayers feel the need to press ya
Naa Naa
No need to get mad
Clap
Make them dance
I can be anything that I wanna be
Nas jam
I'm the bass from the amp that makes her shake it for the gram
See me breeze windmill style
Smile in my b-boy stance
I recommend changing lanes
U-turn
Burn what you learned in a school of thought
New term
Whichever room you're a clever muse
Smooth swerve
Ain't no gruesome scene in this lucid dream
R.I.P. Juice Wrld
All I need
Two words
Think I'll take that **** and not break up
Wake up
No smoke from the bad boy puff
Jus' blaze up
Plus I'm ready to cruise
But they say the brakes stuck
Wha
Ayo
I'm ready to go
So what's the hold up
Some wanna smack me back
I'm like
Hold up
Got
****
She bad
Ayo
Hold up
If you ain't trying to get trapped
Swag back like
Wha
Ayo
I'm ready to go
So what's the hold up
Some wanna smack me back
I'm like
Hold up
Got

Wha
Like
I'm trapped in traffic
Like damn
I can feel your magic
Like damn
You took my breath away
Asthmatic
And snatched me under your hood
Mechanic
I'm blessed to see in cinematic
Before I deep sink like a scene in titanic
The love I felt swam like Mike Phelps
But some foes want it heated and cold
Ceramic
I know it's static
They want the bro to panic
Coded tactics to shred your goals like cabbage
Some want your last breath to be slow and tragic
But I just say
Kiss this *** *****
Bold italics
I can give you what you want
Backseat drop if you're putting up a front
No taxi stop ma
I'm going to the top
And anybody switching up on my clock
Is getting swapped
Watch
Like I don't know you're waiting on the low
I locked you in my range eight blocks ago
I prayed one day my voice
Will stream internationally
All over the globe
And to those
Who take me for a joke
Har har
Hee hee
Haha
No
Ayo
I'm ready to go
So what's the hold up
Some wanna smack me back
I'm like
Hold up

All the while naysayers feel the need to press ya
Naa Naa
No need to get mad
Clap
Make them dance
Life's a gamble
This your greatest chance
I straight handle
Whatever's in my path
And I didn't battle
So we can be bypassed
Some wanna swipe you aside
Like an iPad app
Leave you to die
But I fight back
Is it alright
When I imply that
I breathe the light of life
In my divine wrath
Not where we wanna be
But we don't slide back
Anybody throwing stones
We eat it like a light snack
And not to get sidetracked
If I might add
You ain't ready to ride
Question for you
I might ask is
Ayo
I'm ready to go
So what's the hold up
Some wanna smack me back
I'm like
Hold up

Would it be okay

If I suggest that


I breathe the light of life

In my divine wrath
In my passionate determination


Not where we wanna be
We're not happy with our current situation


But we don't slide back
But we won't give up or lose progress


Anybody throwing stones
Anyone who tries to discourage or harm us


We eat it like a light snack
We can handle it with ease and confidence


And not to get sidetracked
But let's stay focused


If I might add
If I may say


You ain't ready to ride
You're not prepared for the journey ahead


Question for you
Let me ask you something


Im ready to go
I'm eager to start my journey
