What the hell he 'bout to do right now?

Fuck it, let's get it then
Deciding to go ahead with the plan, despite uncertainty.

I got too much on my plate
Feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities and tasks.

I second guess nothing for nothing
Making confident decisions without doubts or fears.

I throw this rap out the window
Discarding a previous attempt at making music.

I'll make another like nothing

We built this shit from the ground up
Claiming responsibility for the success of the artist's career.

I don't ask questions, I solve 'em

I'll get some money, then I'll spend it
Acknowledging the artist's tendency to spend money quickly.

But don't rap like I'm balling
Rejecting the idea of portraying oneself as wealthy or successful in the music industry.

My time ain't nothing but now now
Emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and seizing opportunities.

My team been going from pow wows
Highlighting the singer's team's history of collaborating and problem-solving together.

I'll give 'em shit so real, the DJ's 'bout to do triple sow cows
Promising to deliver authentic and high-quality music that will impress the audience and industry professionals.

Yeah, I've been singing and rapping

Rapping and singing and such
Expanding on the artist's diverse musical style and abilities.

I look around, these dudes be focused on their look like too much
Observing the superficiality and image-focused nature of the music industry.

And I think it's time I calm it down just a little
Recognizing the need to balance personal and professional priorities.

I don't believe in predictions, I just believe in conviction
Preferring to trust the singer's own instincts and beliefs over external forecasts or advice.

And since I quit all my bitching, I heard 'em all start to listen
Noticing the effects of the artist's increased confidence and assertiveness on the public's reception of their music.

Don't trip like KC and Jojo
Advising against getting too caught up in external pressures or trends, referencing the R&B duo KC and Jojo as an example.

You know this bro goin' pro though

I'll rock a jean jacket with a jean shirt and some jeans at the Soho
Humorously describing the singer's fashion choices.

I don't fit in with no genre
Rejecting the idea of being categorized into a particular musical genre.

I got some screws loose, it's true
Acknowledging one's quirks and nonconformity.

Pops got that snare, make you drop like when Kendrick go doo doo
Praising a particular musical element while humorously referencing Kendrick Lamar's song 'Swimming Pools.'

I made some boo boos to move you

I guess that's how I got through, though

My team ain't signing no papers

It's off the books, shout out Juju

I got some shit on my sleeve
Implying the singer has some hidden talents or strategies to unveil.

I got some dirt on my hands
Acknowledging past mistakes or unsavory aspects of the artist's career.

I got no yes men here around me that gon' say I'm the man
Surrounding oneself with honest and trustworthy people who won't just blindly praise the artist.

So I think it's time I calm it down just a little
Repeating the artist's desire to prioritize their personal life and health over career advancement.

I don't believe in no luck
Rejecting the idea of credit or success being attributed solely to good fortune.

Like they don't believe 'til it's something
Observing the doubtful and skeptical attitudes of others towards the artist's career until they achieve a certain level of success.

I dreamt this all my sleep and never woke up to no buzzer
Reflecting on the singer's aspirations and how they have become a reality without external intervention or wake-up calls.
