I'm Back
Raaj Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Yes, hello! I was wondering if you could play that song again?'
'Mmm which one man?'
'The one that goes…'
Man it's been so long
Brothers thought I quit like 3 5 on
OKC, ain't no way G, can't sleep till the east side on
I stay up from the night to the dawn
You dunno shit about the fight to get on

Oh cause I didn't drop a song in the past few months, so you thought that the boy was gone?
Lil bitch I'm back
Everytime I rap
Haters, I know that you mad
I'm back with the baddest
I run through the 9 causin havoc
Got god lookin down like 'god damn it'
Like who need a jacket? Boy wavey like the Atlantic, Iced out I could sink the titanic
Like do-do-do-do strapped with sixteens I don't panic, I'm packing the talent they lacking
And they can not jack it
At it like a semi automatic, I been shooting from the basement to the attic
I've been letting go of baggage, flyin from the city to Manhattan when I touchdown ain't no playing like on Madden
Cause we are not homies, stupid bitch you do not know me. The sorrows you could not imagine
The things that I saw growin up left me damaged, the tears and the trauma turned me to a savage
I was in dark room coping
broken, trynna find the light when this life looked over
No 4 leaf clovers, Praying for a sign or an omen, or hoping a door would just open,
Was lost for a moment, mumma said we ain't never folding, and since then the boy been evolvin
from barely afloat in the ocean to flow like the ocean, I'm young and I'm winnin like Coman
Oh there go my ego
Walk it then talk it like Migos
I bring the Heat call me 'Herro'
Got slept on and woke up in beast mode
Life threw the boy in the deep end
So fuck her, tell her that I'm breathing
Don't give a fuck if you sleeping
Get used to my face I ain't leaving,
I ain't leaving
Man it's been so long
Brothers thought I quit like 3 5 on
OKC, ain't no way G, can't sleep till the east side on
I stay up from the night to the dawn
You dunno shit about the fight to get on
Oh cause I didn't drop a song in the past few months, so you thought that the boy was gone?
Lil bitch I'm back
I ain't never leaving
Pull up in a black benz with the wrist on freezing
Chains around the neck are squeezing, I'm still breathing,
Gold is gleaming, rest in peace my demons
Light will trump the dark
I still got the heart
I was made for this
Got an S on my chest, if this life is a god given test,

Then I better get an A for this
Gone

Overall Meaning

The first two lines of Raaj's song "I'm Back" are particularly noteworthy because they refer to how people may have thought Raaj had stopped rapping or that he was no longer creating new music. "Man it's been so long/Brothers thought I quit like 3 5 on" is an initial indicator that Raaj is indeed back and ready to hit the ground running. He recaps how long he's been gone and how people assumed he took a break when he really didn't. He emphasizes this point by restating it in the third stanza: "Oh cause I didn't drop a song in the past few months, so you thought that the boy was gone? Lil bitch I'm back."

The song concludes on this note of triumph when Raaj asserts that he's still here, still thriving.
