Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonder i f I have a dog in this fight
Hopefully someones awake through the night with me
Canโt find my keys, hold on
I need to breathe, hold on
Shoulda left with me when Iโm speeding down all these streets so long
And all these things that Iโm seeing in all these dreams, im gone
Will you please hold on to me?
Gotta couple things that Iโm going through
But I know one day we gon make it through
We gon make it thru
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
Wait
Wait
Iโve been told Iโm obsessive
And I canโt relay the message
I might behave so aggressive
And just to reap all my benefits
Looking down from the precipice
And I swear that weโre getting there
Swear that weโre getting there (Echo?)
Canโt fall asleep, Iโm digging deep, Iโm on
Filling up all of the notes on my phone
My pictures and my emails, the devils in the details, I gotta get my time alone
Who will have the cash when itโs time to move?
Who will have my back when my time is due?
But I know somehow we gon make it through
We gon make it thru
We gon make it
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
Wait
Wait
Just wait
Just wait
Go back to the time we were thinking out loud
Go back to the time we just want to be proud
Go back wanted everything but nothing was found
Go back to the time we were thinking out loud
Go back to the time we just want to be proud
Go back wanted everything but nothing was found
Iโm unapologetically getting it ready
Curses, Iโm betting it steady
Curving, defending, Iโm sweaty
Putting in plenty, they petty
Promise to put in my pennies
Proof is in pudding, Iโm playing pool with machetes
Once I get it, imma share it
This my custom, Iโm above, and I declare it
I remain loyal and I will never be embarrassed
Picking up the slack instead of acting like im careless
Will I learn the things that I never knew?
Will I be the one that they look up to?
But I know a way we will make it through
We gon make it through
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
Wait

In J-Tek's song Million Dollar Trap, the artist reflects on his life and the struggles he faces while trying to achieve success. He starts by trying to collect himself and make things right, wondering if he has a part to play in the challenges he faces. He hopes to find someone who is awake during the night to support and hold on to him. He is going through a lot and is overwhelmed but is determined to make it through. J-Tek feels obsessive about achieving success and being consistent with his endeavors. He's afraid that he may come off as aggressive while trying to gain from his hard work, which may lead to negative consequences.
The chorus is an affirmation of J-Tek's determination to achieve his goals. He wants to make a million and one dollars and do it again without borrowing funds from anyone. J-Tek believes that one day he and everyone else will be paid up. In the second half of the song, J-Tek reflects on his journey to becoming successful. He talks about the moments he wishes he could relive and change the outcome, hoping for better results. He ends the song by saying that he is unapologetically getting ready for success and putting in the work to achieve his dreams.

I am preparing myself unapologetically
Curses, Iโm betting it steady
I'm steadily placing bets
Curving, defending, Iโm sweaty
Avoiding obstacles and fighting back, I'm sweating
Putting in plenty, they petty
I'm contributing a lot, they're ignoring it
Promise to put in my pennies
I promise to put in my effort
Proof is in pudding, Iโm playing pool with machetes
The proof is in the pudding, I'm taking big risks
Once I get it, imma share it
Once I get it, I'm going to share it
This my custom, Iโm above, and I declare it
This is my area of expertise, I am above others, and I declare it
I remain loyal and I will never be embarrassed
I stay loyal and I will never be ashamed
Picking up the slack instead of acting like im careless
I'm taking responsibility instead of acting like I don't care
Will I learn the things that I never knew?
Will I learn things I never knew before?
Will I be the one that they look up to?
Will I be the one that they admire?
But I know a way we will make it through
But I know we will find a way to get through this
We gon make it through
We will make it through
Wait
