Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now it's time to take off
Heartbeatz on the track
I waited long enough, but now itβ²s time to take off
I was working all night and I ain't have no days off
Make myself a boss, 'cause I just like to make calls
B- itβ²s game seven and we ballinβ² like the playoffs
Wanted me to fall off, well guess what? You can stay lost
If you wanna tell the truth, b-, I made y'all
But whatever you goinβ² through, don't let it make or break yβ²all
Work hard, no sleep
Had some long nights when I ain't eat
I'm everything that they had wanted to be
Be careful, lilβ² shawty was pointinβ² at me
We all know the truth, they weren't humble like me
B- n- talkinβ² 'bout stompinβ² on me
You got me f- up, you know I was gon' squeeze
Been riding all week with my gun on the seat
I received his death wish, but itβ²s okay, y'all
'Cause when we catch him late night we gonβ² knock his face off
B- all you do is talk, and all we do is stalk
I feel like f- β²em all, ain't never hate on yβ²all
I waited long enough, but now it's time to take off
I was working all night and I ainβ²t have no days off
Make myself a boss, 'cause I just like to make calls
B- itβ²s game seven and we ballin' like the playoffs
One call and that's all, can erase yβ²all
Wanted me to fall off, well guess what? You can stay lost
If you wanna tell the truth, b-, I made yβ²all
But whatever you goin' through, donβ²t let it make or break y'all
I made yβ²all
To tell the truth, I made y'all
To tell the truth, I made, I made yβ²all
Lil' boys, I made y'all
To tell the truth, I made yβ²all
Might snatch your sh-, I made yβ²all
