Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

R is for residuals I’ll stack in this business
And the I is for impeccable with music and bitches
The two Zs is don’t sleep cus if you blink you could miss it
Nigga O is overlooked until I started the spitting
Yeah
R is for residuals I’ll stack in this business
And the I is for impeccable with music and bitches
The two Zs is don’t sleep cus if you blink you could miss it
Nigga O is overlooked until I started the spitting
16 Bars for every nigga tryna battle with the man
Never back down from a challenge pen and pad up in my hand
Punchlines leave a nigga paralyzed and shitting in his pants
Tryna takeover the city and I’m sticking to the plan
Top 5 dead or live nigga who is fucking with me
Shots fired you survived reload the clip and squeeze it empty
Not surprised you really tried but I’m just mad you tried to get me
My guys really slide spin ya block inside a renty
I been playing singing round but it’s time to bring that rap back
Saying I can’t spit so damn I guess its time to clap back
Bars gon hit ya brain and leave it sitting where ya lap at
Gotta make a beat so where my hard drive and my Mac at
Was going through depression shit it had me losing focus
Now I’m back making the magic all these verses Hocus Pocus
I been tryna get this Power feeling like my name is Ghost and
I been staying off the gram ain’t really with all of the posting
I been tryna get this project started up for like a year or two
A couple mental breakdowns yeah I shedded a tear or two
But now I got some heat in the stash its time a share a few
All these tracks is sick shit nigga go get the Theraflu
R is for residuals I’ll stack in this business
And the I is for impeccable with music and bitches
The two Zs is don’t sleep cus if you blink you could miss it
Nigga O is overlooked until I started the spitting
Yeah
R is for residuals I’ll stack in this business
And the I is for impeccable with music and bitches




The two Zs is don’t sleep cus if you blink you could miss it
Nigga O is overlooked until I started the spitting

The delivery of that fucking “............Okay” gets me every time

@KhyDev

Facts

@tinyguy1015

Same

@xtremezoe

lol, I’ve watched this song for a million times just to watch that part of “Ok”😂😂😂😂

@nathanielgrant3909

still here in 2021 breaking my neck to that..."okay"

@Anonymous-wy5dc

After listening many times I got what he meant with the "okay" at first i thought he was saying "okay" as in saying OJ is stupid for saying he's just OJ. But after nth times I got it. Jay is simply saying that there is no point in arguing with some people and just worry about building you and those around you. How much time have people spent trying to change another persons mind. OJ is not about that at the end he says it that this advice ain't free, it's worth millions but you can buy for 9.99.

Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

“ I’m not black, I’m O.J”
....
“Ok..”
Powerful

@hankock09

why

@ariel6285

hankock09 because oj wasnt part of the black community for a long time, it was like he forgot about being black.

@ariel6285

YB lmao I responded very fast, but that’s very true, because I’m black my self and the reason I said that because O.J. Disrespected him self and the black community, like he was afraid of being black, risk taking almost because of all the shitty things that happened to black people
