Overall Meaning

The song "Forward" by Konshens is a motivational song about his determination to never be broke again. He starts off by saying that he has put his foot on the gas pedal (turbo) and is pushing himself forward to accomplish his goals. The first verse talks about how he has stopped wasting time and now wants to take off, mentioning that they have been knocking on the door for too long and it's time to kick it in down. He talks about the struggles of life, defending their food on the street, and how they are not paying attention to people who do not support them. He mentions money a lot, saying that he wants old money and new money coming in, and how he doesn't want to be broke anymore.

The chorus of the song is all about moving forward, with no looking back, and no distractions. Konshens talks about cutting off links that do not add value to his ambition, and only focusing on what's ahead. He repeats the phrase 'Forward' four times in each instance of the chorus, emphasizing the significance of moving in the right direction. In the second verse, he talks again about money, mentioning the various bills that he has to pay and how he never wants to be caught without money. He tells people who are not interested in talking about money to close off their "money program," which emphasizes his dedication to his financial goals.

Overall, the song is a reminder to be focused, determined, and disciplined in achieving one's dreams, with money being a key motivator. The strong beats and catchy chorus make it an upbeat and motivating track.
