Jay Rock feat. Lance Skiiiwalker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
We gon' catch these Gs, now watch me do just that
Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that
Make these monies easy and watch 'em group in packs
Uh, imagine Rock up in that field where options ain't so audible
Problems steady fallin', the effects is like some dominoes
Issues chronological, gotta get that money fast
Andale, vamonos, feelin' like Osama, got my llama close
Hope them boys don't come knock on my mama's door
AK-47 out that window, think I'm paranoid
America, another case I can't afford, help me Lord
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
We gon' catch these Gs, now watch me do just that
Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that
Make these monies easy and watch 'em group in packs
I told my niggas if you hold me back
Been about that money, fuck the damn lotto
Cruisin' through the 'jects wit' the 12 shotty
Most my niggas gone or the jail got em'
And most these bitches wrong but we still jock em'
Cocaine in the trap, still rockin'
Them hood rats in the back got that trim poppin'
She twerkin' for the camera while her kids watchin'
And she gon' take that cheese to go wig shoppin'
That's if she owe me that, go check my zodiac
Have many coke and cognac in that culdesac
My uncle Bobby had them bodies, he wore the mac
Ain't talking oldies when its singin' that 40 clap
Can't nobody hold me back, I'm locomotive steam rollin'
Gotta fight to keep that money stream open
Liquor shots is for your team, that's tree smokin'
In that coupe de ville with d's on it
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
We gon' catch these Gs, now watch me do just that
Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that
Make these monies easy and watch 'em group in packs
I told my niggas if you hold me back
Gotta get it ain't no options out here
Her nigga just killed my partner out here
They wonder why we steady glockin' out here
Cuz niggas they ain't really lockin' out here
And we ain't worried 'bout them coppers out here
Do anything to try and stop us out here
No 9-to-5's but we clockin' out here
Every chance they get you know they watch us out here
Oh yeah, got to be that animal
Streets is like a jungle it'll eat you like its Hannibal
Wigs splitted, cantaloupe, yeah we see that everyday
Candles lit, pour out liquor, hope it take the pain away
I ain't tryna play my way, I'm just tryna pave my way
Mama tell me gotta save them pennies for them rainy days
Have me snatch that switch, off that branch with some leaves on it
Fantasizin' bout some money trees on em'
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
We gon' catch these Gs, now watch me do just that
Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact
I told my niggas if you hold me back
From pursuin', ain't no comin' back
Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that
Make these monies easy and watch 'em group in packs
I told my niggas if you hold me back

The opening lines speak to the determination to succeed and not be held back by anyone or anything, making it clear that the focus is on the pursuit of wealth. The urgency of the situation is represented through the use of language such as "gotta get that money fast" and "problems steady falling," further emphasizing the need for financial stability. Moreover, the lyrics touch on the dangers of living in low-income areas where violence is prevalent and how it impacts the daily lives of those who live there.

Additionally, the song references the harsh realities of life growing up in poverty, such as the loss of loved ones to the prison system or the streets. The lyrics highlight the steady destruction of one's community, while emphasizing the need to keep moving forward and work towards success. The song represents the struggles experienced by many who come from impoverished backgrounds and the strength and determination required to break the cycle of poverty.
