Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Checkin up a bag grinded half a mill
New ice on had to check the chill
They been trynna figure how I grinded here
I was sick on my ass but I found a cure
2020 vision got my vision clear
Ice cold heart ain’t no loving here
When it was wartime you could find me there
But now that I shine I’m a visionare
Project hood-baby turned millionaire
Product of the bottom you can find me there
The bottom of the top I was climbing there
When I was down below ain nobody care
Now I got 20/20 perfect vision
They wasn’t really fucking with me now they get it
I was really down bad I admit it
Now I got a whole bag got a ticket
Gotta real bag got me feeling rich
You mad cause I’m fucking yo bitch
And you know that she always on go
I’m a bad bitch finder not a dick rider
I give her dick then she smile in yo face
You think she real cause she pleading her case
Boy leave that alone I’m still standing on shit
Hmm big stepper
I put on Gucci to go buy so pradas
With a slim thick bitch she look just like her mama
Got in real quick cause she like my persona
She love when I sing like da-da-da-da
I made a play and went four to ten
Rio just told me he brung em in
Huncho he shooting no camera lense
And this the first quarter so settle in
Checkin up a bag grinded half a mill
New ice on had to check the chill
They been trynna figure how I grinded here
I was sick on my ass but I found a cure
2020 vision got my vision clear
Ice cold heart ain’t no loving here
When it was wartime you could find me there
But now that I shine I’m a visionare
Project hood-baby turned millionaire
Product of the bottom you can find me there
The bottom of the top I was climbing there
When I was down below ain nobody care
Now I got 20/20 perfect vision
They wasn’t really fucking with me now they get it




I was really down bad I admit it
Now I got a whole bag got a ticket

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ive's song "Intro" convey a narrative of personal growth and triumph over adversity. The opening lines speak of checking up on a bag that has been grinded to half a million, symbolizing hard work and dedication paying off in financial success. The mention of new ice to check the chill alludes to acquiring material possessions as a way to assert status and demonstrate success. The artist acknowledges that others have been trying to figure out how they achieved their current position, hinting at a sense of mystery or enigma surrounding their ascent.


The following lines delve into the artist's past struggles, mentioning being sick and in a bad place, but eventually finding a cure and gaining clarity in their vision for the future. The reference to having an ice-cold heart reflects a hardened attitude, possibly developed as a defense mechanism during tough times. The shift from being present in wartime conditions to now shining as a visionary demonstrates a transformation from surviving to thriving, evolving from a project hood-baby to a millionaire.


The lyrics further emphasize the artist's journey from the bottom to the top, experiencing a lack of support and recognition when they were down, but now enjoying the fruits of their labor with perfect vision in 2020. The defiant declaration that others now understand and respect them after previously not "really f***ing" with them signifies a sense of validation and empowerment. The artist acknowledges past downfalls and admits to struggling before attaining their current success, but now boasts confidently about having a real bag and feeling rich, taking pleasure in their newfound status.


The song then shifts focus to personal relationships, with references to romantic encounters and interactions with others. The artist exudes confidence and a sense of charisma, painting a picture of luxury and indulgence in designer brands and a lavish lifestyle. The mention of singing and making plays adds a playful and charismatic layer to the lyrics, showcasing a multifaceted persona.
