Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Get Me Started" by T.I. featuring JT the Bigga Figga talks about their aspirations for success and their drive to make money, regardless of what people may think of them. The chorus and verse 1 emphasize T.I.’s perspective where he says he is elevated and has everything he wants like he has a cheat code, and he's always on his grind. He's striving to make it to the top and earn all the money he desires, and he won't let anyone stand in his way. The hook gives off an energetic, almost reckless vibe that he won't let anything or anyone stop him from reaching his goals.

The bridge then reflects on the duo’s journey towards success, with T.I. focusing solely on making as much money as possible. He is hungry for success, and he doesn't care about anything else. The song overall speaks to the struggles of reaching success in a world where people may not believe in you. Despite this, T.I. and JT the Bigga Figga continue to push towards their goals, with the ultimate goal of living their best lives.
