Business
S.A.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I seen some shit I ain't wanna see
Dealt a bad hand, played it humbly
Thought we was close
They don't fuck with me
Walls closing in, I just grin
That's how it's gonna be
I love that underdog narrative
Life ain't fair
I don't care though, I'm here for it
Never speak up on the rumors
You believe it, cut you off like a tumor
I don't gotta prove shit
Monitor my movements
You can learn a lot
And I ain't get a thing free
I earned my spot
I got 'em counting up the value
Damn yo, he must've won the lotto
They can't get a break
Passenger look like a model
That shit hard to swallow
Envy in your blood
The art of war
Buy you boys a bottle
Show love, man it's dangerous
You end up targeting yourself
Tryna aim for us
Stay low, stack that paper up
You wanna see me bleed
I got these papercuts
If I must be the villain, let's embrace it
Be prepared to look the lion in the face
My DNA different
I came up way different
I came a long way
Can't sway me from the mission
Try to show love
Why is fear more convincing
Try to show love
Why is fear more convincing
I don't really talk too busy with the business
Money got 'em looking at the kid through different lenses
I don't really talk too busy with the business
Hindsight twenty twenty
Now you see the vision
Hope my haters live to hundred
Two commas after the zeroes
You feel that shit in your stomach
Four circles, overlapping not in your bracket
RS double the threat
Blazer for fashion
Something like trading my winters for summer nights
Trigger that emotion they wishing I miss my flight
Long hair, curves is legit, real as it gets
You think the girl you with is a ten
Bro, she a six
Respectfully
I never brag when she check for me
Make her waive that checkered flag
Relax, Ima let it breathe
They toe to toe with a gladiator
Unfamiliar land, stranded no navigator
I'm right at home on some Bane shit
You claim you love the dark
Til all light is extinguished
Hope was a myth, many slip
Only few win
I'm built for this shit
You unequipped like an empty gym
Cool, let's work it out
They always talk heavy
That cardio with they mouth
I've been through it all
Mind running a million miles
Bank account strong
My wallet could lift a house
My DNA different
I came up way different
I came a long way
Can't sway me from the mission
Try to show love
Why is fear more convincing
Try to show love
Why is fear more convincing
I don't really talk too busy with the business
Money got em looking at the kid through different lenses
I don't really talk too busy with the business




Hindsight twenty twenty
Now you see the vision
