Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear me sing songs for you
About how you told me you told me you proud
One day I pray that you
Don't see no harm for you
Mama she told me she told me she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she told me she told me she proud
Look, what's it really take just to get to the pinnacle
Tell me who you do it for
"Too privileged for your own good"
Welcome to the struggle of millennials
They taught us how to run a business
We taught 'em how to do it from a cellphone
Number one rule don't make no purchase for the cost happiness it's dead wrong
You can feel it
Mama said trust your intuition
I paid the consequences when I didn't
I was not dead but I wasn't living
I like beats
I like bars
I like melody
Creativity
I like raps, man
But that's the type that I could never learn in no class
You see that
Fuck a plan B boy I mean that
Started from the bottom where your feet at
A lot of niggas never let you see that
I looked up at Jay and said a nigga finna be that
Looked up at Sean and said a nigga finna be that
Hop in the studio my niggas looking where the weed at
But what's on my mind is where the mother fucking beat at
Believe that
Once upon a time I was the nigga with the weak raps
Tryna be the greatest I just hope my mama see that
Just as a remimder put the diamond on the key chain
Boy this shit is insane
Ever since the rename
I just make the hits
And keep it coming like semen
I haven't slept in like 3 days
I always got the crown
So I never need to reclaim, diddit
Mama I hope that you
Hear me sing songs for you
About how you told me you told me you proud
One day I pray that you
Don't see no harm for you
Mama she told me she told me she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she told me she told me she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she proud
Oh she told me she told me she proud

Welcome to the struggle of millennials
This is the challenge of the new generation
They taught us how to run a business
We learned how to operate a company from them
We taught 'em how to do it from a cellphone
We showed them how to conduct business using just a mobile phone
Number one rule don't make no purchase for the cost happiness it's dead wrong
The most important rule is not to buy anything with the intention of buying happiness; that is a mistake
You can feel it
You can sense it or perceive it
Mama said trust your intuition
My mother always advised me to trust my gut feeling
I paid the consequences when I didn't
When I didn't listen, I suffered the repercussions
I was not dead but I wasn't living
I wasn't having a fulfilling life
I like beats
I enjoy musical beats
I like bars
I am fond of bars in music
I like melody
I appreciate melody in music
Creativity
Originality and innovative ideas
I like raps, man
I enjoy rap music
But that's the type that I could never learn in no class
These are skills that cannot be acquired through formal education
You see that
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Fuck a plan B boy I mean that
No need for a backup plan, I am fully committed
Started from the bottom where your feet at
I started from the very bottom of my career
A lot of niggas never let you see that
Many people conceal their struggles and difficulties
I looked up at Jay and said a nigga finna be that
I saw Jay-Z and expressed my determination to achieve similar success
Looked up at Sean and said a nigga finna be that
I also looked up to Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and aimed to match his accomplishments
Hop in the studio my niggas looking where the weed at
When we enter the studio, my friends search for marijuana
But what's on my mind is where the mother fucking beat at
However, all I care about is finding the perfect beat for my music
Believe that
Trust me on that
Once upon a time I was the nigga with the weak raps
There was a time when I had poor skills in rap music
Tryna be the greatest I just hope my mama see that
I aspire to become the best, and I want my mother to witness it
Just as a reminder put the diamond on the key chain
To serve as a reminder, I attached a diamond to my keychain
Boy this shit is insane
This is crazy
Ever since the rename
Since I changed my name
I just make the hits
I only produce successful music
And keep it coming like semen
I continue to release new music regularly
I haven't slept in like 3 days
I haven't slept for three straight days
I always got the crown
I am always on top
So I never need to reclaim, diddit
Thus, I never have to reclaim what is already mine.
Oh she proud
Mother is indeed proud of me.
Oh she told me she told me she proud
She made it clear that she is proud.
