(Ayy, lil' Metro on that beat)
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
My mama told me, "Boy, make a decision"
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
They sendin' all my homies on a mission
And I ain't tryna miss out on these millions
I jumped up out the Wraith, Kodak bought a Wraith
I get any girl I want, any girl I want
She want me to save the day, but I ain't got a cape
She wanna see me everyday, she wanna be my bae
That money make me cum, it make me fornicate, uh
I'm the shit, I need some toilet pap-er
Follow my player rules, then we gon' be okay
On the real, I need a bih' who gon' cooperate
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
My mama told me, "Boy, make a decision"
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
My mama told me, "Boy, make a decision"
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
They sendin' all my homies on a mission
And I ain't tryna miss out on these millions
I told you niggas I'm gon' be that fuckin' nigga
Everything be good until you doin' better than 'em
They wanna see a nigga shot or see me in the system
All you niggas out here poison like snake venom
Codeine in my liver, rockin' Balenciaga denim
I'm booted even when I'm sober, I don't need a jigga
They sendin' all my niggas on a fuckin' journey
I told that baby to come over 'cause I'm fuckin' horny
My mama told me, "Kill these niggas, son, keep it goin'"
I'm thug to the bone, but I'm still her baby boy
Lil' Kodak, boy they hate to see you in a foreign
They miss when you was in that 'Yota kickin' doors
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
My mama told me, "Boy, make a decision"
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
Lil' Kodak, they don't like to see you winnin'
They wanna see you in the penitentiary
I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen
Girl, I don't wanna be the one you iggin'
My mama told me, "Boy, make a decision"
Right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision
They sendin' all my homies on a mission
And I ain't tryna miss out on these millions
Kodak Black's song "Tunnel Vision" is about the struggles and pressures of fame and success, and the need to stay focused and maintain a clear perspective. The rapper talks about how people want to see him fail and get locked up, but he is determined to keep his sights on his goals and keep moving forward. He stresses the importance of having a loyal partner who will listen and support him, instead of constantly ignoring or disregarding him. He also mentions his mother's wise advice about making good decisions and staying focused amid distractions.
The chorus repeats the line "I need me a lil' baby who gon' listen" as Kodak emphasizes the need for someone who will be there for him and help him stay grounded. He talks about his success in getting any girl he wants, but also acknowledges the temptation and distractions that come with having money and fame. He uses wordplay, such as "that money make me cum, it make me fornicate," to illustrate the power of wealth and how it can be both a blessing and a curse.
Kodak also references his past struggles and brushes with the law, but maintains that he is focused on building a successful career and making millions. He talks about his ambition and drive to succeed, and the need to stay vigilant and avoid getting sucked into negative situations. The song ends with a reminder that success requires sacrifice and hard work, and that Kodak is determined to stay on track no matter what challenges come his way.
