Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ridin' through my hometown (hometown)
Finally feel I'm on my shit (my shit)
All they talk about is us now (us now)
Never thought we'd get it like this
(like this)
Along my way, I made so many mistakes
Now I'm ridin' through my hometown
Finally feel I'm on my shit
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't wastin' time no way (no way)
Everything is different these days
(these days)
I don't take "no" for an answer
I put it all down, I don't play it safe
(play it safe)
I'm learnin' lotta people were curvin'
Tryna cut me out the picture
Of everything I was earnin'
Now I'm in the better place
I feel like I'm Kyrie Irving
Comin' back from the title
Revenge is all that I'm servin' (yeah)
Only keep it real with the real ones
Everything I do is like a homerun
And I don't take breaks
I stay on the gas doin' everything it takes
(doin' everything it takes)
Still had a lotta days I almost gave up
Spendin' all my money on my pay stub
But now my new songs' payin'
For my new songs
I don't do much except workin'
On my new songs
Ridin' through my hometown (hometown)
Finally feel I'm on my shit (my shit)
All they talk about is us now (us now)
Never thought we'd get it like this
(like this)
Along my way, I made so many mistakes
Took a little time to be who I am today
Now I'm ridin' through my hometown
Finally feel I'm on my shit
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't even in my prime (in my prime)
All my numbers do is climb (do is climb)
I don't really care for the limelight
I just keep it on the
Low like I'm golfin' nine
Okay then all of my dues, I paid them
I am my own label and
This shit is all verbatim
Lately I'm feelin' good
Doin' all that I should
They be makin' excuses I do
What they never could (yeah)
This is not a wave, my shit here to stay
I'm 'ready goin' on my eighth
('ready goin' on my eighth)
Took a lotta hate, I don't pay attention
Still remember what they say
(still remember what they say)
Had a lotta days I almost gave up
Spendin' all my money on my pay stub
But now my new songs' payin'
For my new songs
I don't do much except workin'
On my new songs
Ridin' through my hometown (hometown)
Finally feel I'm on my shit (my shit)

I received a lot of negativity, but I don't let it affect me
Still remember what they say
Although I don't let it affect me, I still remember the negativity I received

I spent midnight to now (6:30am) listening to All of your music by the river, painting a beautiful woman in a black dress. I Can’t even begin to tell you what relatable music can do for a photo.... I wish YouTube would allow photo share in the comments. I want to say, I’m shocked you are so young, which I am now realizing, yet can relate so well to a 34 year old like myself... your seriously an incredible soul.
