Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pussy and pay stubs the reason I wake up
Pushing up on me dis late is to fuck me is
Dangerous
U kno where i stay bruh
U kno what dis stain from
U kno how to play dumb
But I kno da brain dumb
As long as we stay friends we can't ever break
Up
It′s easy to make up w ppl u make cum.
Ion trust no woman as much as my own mama,
I get my glow from her. my niggas get smoke
From her
She told me don't come to her door wit no hoe
Drama
If you don't make get money or grow from her
You don′t want her
Nga stay woke or they gone come up from yo
Slumber
The city where everyone know someone that
Know someone
Then get some money and act like they don′t
Know no one
Can't even blame em the way this shit get cold
Blooded
30 degrees 30 degrees
30′s wit beams told em to freeze
In "30", Kenny Mason discusses several themes from love, sex, money, and trust. He starts the song off by stating that he does not need fake love since he can create love. He does not require anyone else's opinion on his directions in life. His primary motivation for waking up is to earn money from work or a woman's body. Kenny acknowledges the risk that comes with casual sex and urges the other party involved to be cautious since their activities can be dangerous. He comes from a background where people are aware of their surroundings and are always on the lookout.
Next, he talks about trust issues, indicating that he trusts no other woman as much as his mother. He sources his inspiration from her to maintain positivity in his life, which is then transferred to his friends. He advises people to avoid negative energy and cultivate positive habits since those are the only means to progress in life. The song closes with Kenny expressing frustration with the environment in his city, where most people appear to be involved in activities that do not benefit the society.

The song writing on this song is amazing. He even had a triple entendre with one simple line where the meanings work three different ways:
“you know where dis stain from”
disdian (dis stain) - the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one's consideration or respect; contempt.
stain - rob someone, usually for drugs or money
stain - mark or discoloration that is difficult to remove
so it can mean you know where disdain from, like you know where this lack of respect comes from.
it can mean you know where this stain from (slang for robbing someone in atlanta). meaning you know where i got this stain from and that it’s dangerous to come to his place (which is way he says “pushing up on me this late to fuck me is dangerous, you know where i stay bruh” earlier)
Or it can mean you know where this stain on his heart is from. Having to do with the struggles of his past relationships (which he talks about in the song). Something he can’t remove, his past relationships have left a stain on his heart.
this dude is so smart.
Fins The Real OG
I tried to fill...
The holes up with the sex
And I lied to feel
Like I was really connected
My heart is real
Deprived and disconnected
But I can chill beside you for a second
I love this part because it's so real

Dude: “She don’t care about Ken, Ken”
Girl: “Ok but Ken... let me be quiet”
Dude: “He don’t care about that shit”
Girl: “Exactly, exactly.. cause that’s what he’s trying
and I know the answer but it’s cool. Only you can decide”
That’s what I can decipher. Seems like an ex girlfriend talking about him since this song is about relationships.
