Not So Bad
Rae Sremmurd Lyrics

My lean's gone cold, I'm wonderin' why I got out of bed at all
I feel unmotivated and question why I even bothered getting out of bed

Three-point-five clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
There are obstacles blocking my view, symbolized by the clouds, hindering my clarity

And even if I could, it would all be grey
Even if I had a clear view, it would still lack vibrancy and excitement

But these racks stack up too tall (yeah)
Despite the difficulties, my financial success and wealth continue to grow significantly

It reminds me (Reminds me), that it's not so bad, it's not so bad at all
The challenges I face serve as a reminder that my life is actually quite good and I shouldn't complain

Fuck sittin' on the windows, been playin' with the bands, like Dido (Dido)
I don't waste my time sitting idly by, I keep myself busy and focused on making money

I don't smoke weed, indoor by my lonely, like a widow (widow)
I don't rely on drugs to cope with my loneliness, instead I prefer to be alone and independent

Ice cubes, pour me some more (oh), she pop like a pistol (oh)
I want more ice cubes in my drink and I enjoy the excitement and energy of a girl who is lively and unpredictable

Restart, new vehicle, I done jumped out, G.I. Joe
I'm starting fresh with a new car and I've separated myself from a previous association, like the toy character G.I. Joe who operates independently

God forgives, but I don't (I don't), Lord, have mercy, I don't (oh)
I am not forgiving towards others and don't seek forgiveness myself, feeling indifferent and unapologetic

Big shot, big dog, block too hot, gotta cool off (cool off)
I have a high status and reputation, but I need to take a break or calm down due to the intense pressure and attention

Cctv runnin' 24/7, you better not move wrong (move wrong)
Constant surveillance cameras are watching, so you better be careful and not make any mistakes

I can see the wallet, chain hangin' off my shadow (shadow)
My wealth and material possessions are so significant that they are visible even in my shadow

Usd's in euros, I do 'em so fast, do free-throws (free-throws)
I quickly exchange US dollars for euros and make it look effortless, like shooting free throws in basketball

Just left the jeweler, weigh my neck down with two kilos (kilo)
I recently visited the jeweler and adorned my neck with heavy and expensive jewelry, symbolizing my wealth

It's you, it's not me though, speed limit sixty, over
I attribute the issues to the other person, not taking responsibility, and indicating that our relationship is over like surpassing the speed limit

Twist up three-point-five and I smell older, I'm in the ozone
I roll up 3.5 grams of marijuana and as I consume it, I become more introspective and detached from reality, entering a state of altered consciousness

Started off in last place (last place), started passin' niggas (zoom)
I began with a disadvantage, but now I'm surpassing and overtaking others in terms of success

I always had faith (had faith), never saw no competition (yeah)
Despite not seeing any competition, I always maintained faith in my abilities and believed in myself

And lately, I don't know why I've been reminiscin', yeah (reminiscin')
Recently, for unknown reasons, I find myself reflecting on past memories and experiences

More money, more problems (more problems)
Having more wealth and success leads to a higher level of complexity and challenges

Well, I think I like those problems (those problems)
Despite the difficulties, I actually enjoy and appreciate the problems that arise from my success

Yeah, they see me winnin' now
Others now witness and acknowledge my victories and accomplishments

But you ain't see me when I was starvin' (yeah)
You didn't witness or support me during my times of struggle and hunger

You ain't know me at the bottom (Bottom)
You were unfamiliar with who I was when I was at my lowest point

You weren't with me on that grind (grind)
You weren't there to witness or support me during the hard work and determination I put into achieving my success

Couldn't call you when I was hurtin'
I couldn't rely on you for support or comfort when I was in pain or distress

So ain't gon' call you when I shine (yeah, yeah)
Since you weren't there for me in my difficult times, I won't reach out to you now that I'm successful and thriving

The lean's gone cold (gone cold)
The drink I consumed, often containing codeine, has lost its desired effect and feeling

The lean's gone cold, 'cause I don't pour up anymore (no)
I no longer indulge in pouring and consuming lean due to it losing its appeal and negative effects

Eyes so low, that I can't roll up anymore
My eyes are bloodshot and drooping, making it difficult for me to roll another joint

But I'm a lonely stoner, so I'm still gon' smoke one more
Even though I feel isolated and alone, I'll still continue to smoke marijuana to find solace

(Bad at all)
Overall, my current situation and experiences are not bad at all
