Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Southside Mez, was he outside, was he really really really outside? (YES!)
Was he with your bitch beating down the block with the Alpines? (YES!)
Niggas hating on him niggas waiting on him ain't it about time? (YES!)
BITCH!

God done got damn blessed me blessed me blessed me (2x)

Imma father a lot of ya'll niggas style, the next few years gone be mad Maury
A verse gone be like 120 thou, don't hit my line if you ain't in the territory
Yea I'm Worthdale yeah I'm Chastain, I'm in Garner I'm the Cookout in Vanstory
I was just a knotty head little boy, I done come back with a man's story
Now all these publishers keep on calling a nigga and said you need my help to give you a song
Everybody want my taste, 10 years later Mez done invented it all
Now ya'll know I got a visual mind me and Tarantino playing tennis tomorrow
Can't stop till all my niggas wrist freeze up that's a chemical bond
I like skateboarding and Japanese manga some people did not understand
But being a nigga that's frontin' for pictures and bitches was not in my plans
I said my name Morris, she said like Morris Brown? I said yeah like the band's.
The way I come back with the bands you niggas do not have a chance

Southside Mez, was he outside, was he really really really outside? (YES!)
Was he with your bitch beating down the block with the Alpines? (YES!)
Niggas hating on him niggas waiting on him ain't it about time? (YES!)
BITCH, (ahaha)

God done got damn blessed me blessed me blessed me (2x)

Ooh oh oh man
I was like ooh ooh
Whole lot of pistols whole lot of danger
Won't shit else to do, man
Whole lot of niggas whole lot of chambers they was like the WU, man
I like skateboarding and Japanese manga but my niggas like to shoot, man (BRRRR! BRRRR!)
My nigga call me from the county again
I miss it often cause the number is strange
Went ahead and saved it under his name
The people make the playlist but don't know the pain
I mean that won't go away with money and fame I mean
I mean not with the baddest bitches who want to wait on me
Not with good ass sushi with the edamame (Damn!)
Bruh, Bruh
Bruh?
Never understood why niggas would hate on me
Maybe because I'm back and forth on the plane I mean
Got it out of the mud but don't got a stain on me (YEAH!)
Bruh, Bruh
Bruh?

Southside Mez, was he outside, was he really really really outside? (YES!)
Was he with your bitch beating down the block with the Alpines? (YES!)
Niggas hating on him niggas waiting on him ain't it about time? (YES!)
BITCH, (ahaha)

God done got damn blessed me blessed me blessed me (2x)

Let me God damn…. (5x)
Let me God damn chill
Let me God damn…
Let me God damn chill (3x)
Let me God damn…
Let me God damn chill (2x)




Let me God damn…
Let me God damn chill….chill…chill"
