Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time and time again
Took a L
Now im tryna win
Get the dub
Then i count a M
Gotta splurge on my mom and dem
Got a kid I cant play round
Ion care what they say now
It aint money get it out my face now
Cant hear what you tryn say
Fake friends gotta go away
Pray to god
Cause he know the way
Ona grind gotta show today
Now its time to hit the road
And i gotta heavy load
You dont know what i know
But you should know
That im bouta blow uh
Now im just tryna get paid
No i aint workin for minimum wage
Cant let em treat me
Like i was a slave
Got cousins and brothers
That lay in the grave
Use to be ruthless
Way back in the day
Stealin and dippin
Then makin a trade
Then my moms moved us down to the A
Me and my niggas hit jugs everyday
Knew some niggas that was out on the block
Called it the sauna
Cause that shit was hot
Hot hot hot hot hot
Way too young to be runnin from cops
Now im grown out the streets
Put my life ina beat
And my goal is to eat
No one next to me
Ima god not a beast
Aint no way no way no way they gonna change me (x4)
I get told
Time and time again
Took a L
Now im tryna win
Get the dub
Then i count a M
Gotta splurge on my mom and dem
Got a kid I cant play round
Long way from the playground
Ion care what they say now
It aint money get it out my face now
Cant hear what you tryn say
Fake friends gotta go away
Pray to god
Cause he know the way
Ona grind gotta show today
Now its time to hit the road
And i gotta heavy load
You dont know what i know
But you should know
That im bouta blow uh

Aint no way no way no way they gonna change me
There is absolutely no chance that they will be able to alter who I am
