Problems
Nasty C Lyrics

Nigga I got problems
The artist is expressing that he has issues or challenges to deal with

What you think I’m smoking for?
The artist is questioning why others believe he is using drugs

I’ve been quiet for a while now
The artist has not been vocal about his issues and has kept them to himself

Think I should be open more
The artist is considering being more open about his struggles with others

You don’t know how I’ve been over-timing
The artist has been working hard and putting a lot of effort into his craft

It’s kind of hard to maintain sober-minded
The artist finds it difficult to stay focused and clear-headed

See just give me a banger and some headphones and I can reach forever
The artist finds solace in music and can escape his problems through creating it

I know my teachers probably never thought I would be this clever
The artist reflects on how he has exceeded the expectations of his former educators

The industry will play you, get you here, get you a bed
The artist acknowledges the harsh realities of the music industry and how it can use and discard artists

But then forget to leave some covers, that’s cold
The artist feels used and betrayed by the industry for not providing protection and support after exploiting them

It was a climb from the bottom, I’m just glad I got my view back
The artist has worked hard to get where he is and is grateful for his achievements

Trying to record a winner so badly I’m about to lose it
The artist is under a lot of pressure to create a hit song and is close to breaking down

I ain’t got time for your bullshit
The artist is dismissing negative and distracting influences in his life

Surrounded by these beats, I’m just glad I ain’t got no bruises
The artist is happy that he is not physically hurt despite the challenges he faces in the music industry

To see the bullshit on my back drop
The artist wants to remove himself from the negative influences in his life

‘Cause nobody know me when the track stops
The artist feels that he is only valued for his music and not for who he is as a person

99 problems, 99 jerks
The artist has many issues and people causing him problems

Quiet niggas normally smoke the loudest
The artist is saying that quiet individuals often have a lot going on inside despite appearing calm on the surface

Pressure ‘cause if I up and left I’d leave a lot of niggas stressing probably
The artist feels pressure to stay in the game because many people depend on him and his success

Yes sir, I took that private jet to fly back home and fill my nest up
The artist is enjoying the fruits of his labor and rewarding himself for his hard work

I’m walking a straight line and shaking these haters off me
The artist is focused on his goals and not letting negative influences distract him

Bitches that hate the gentlemen essence my poppa taught me
The artist is upset that some people do not appreciate the values and morals he was taught by his father

And that’s problems on problems on problems
The artist has many issues and challenges to deal with
