My mindset, son got wet
My mental state shifted when someone close to me was killed.

Why niggas acting illy word to Will he bout to feel it
I question why individuals are behaving recklessly and disrespectfully, vowing that they will soon face the consequences.

I strongly sense the need for immediate retaliation against those responsible for the wrongdoing.

Them niggas sour they put to much flour in their coke
Those individuals are foolish and unsuccessful, as they mixed in too much low-quality cocaine in their drug operations.

And got the nerve to wonder why they're broke
Ironically, they are puzzled as to why they are financially struggling despite their poor decisions.

While we was gleaming, niggas was scheming
While we were enjoying success and prosperity, there were people plotting and devising strategies against us.

Seen the ill Beamers beaming
We witnessed the luxurious and powerful BMW cars shining brightly.
