I'm On One
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm re-arranging my life, I'm single and now I laugh
All of the moments we had, beginning and just the end
At the end, stealing friends, heard I was on your hit list
Damn, now I'm driving Ferrari fucking random bitches
People saying I made it but I don't feel too different
Wayne told me "close your eyes, they'll never see your vision"
So I stay ready to die behind these biggie lenses
Just left the hood, word to the 5th dist
Bout to cop a roof like diddy
And my city color purple nigga, no ceiling
It takes time when you plying on the beat
I kill it, I bet I kill it
Producer witness to see
Bitches stand on their feet, handicap get out your seat
Got that buzz: lil b, sting a bitch: ali
Comparing tighter rappers, but my songs greater
Just compare me to dope dealers and ball players
Cause I'm a dope ass nigga and I ball, player
Never save a ho, can't even get a life saver
We gon fuck out way to the top and fall later
So I'ma fuckin' never call her later
Skinny nigga got my weight up
Middle finger to my haters, why you chasing? we erase em
Muhfucka I'm gone!
Middle finger to my haters, muhfucka why you hating? I'm gone
I ain't really wanna do it but I did it to em, nigga I'm gone
Leave the beat shit alone, leave the bullshit at home, I'm gone
Even though I'm out of here, nigga gotta keep it real, I'm gone
She fuckin' with me, these niggas ain't fuckin' with me
Got my mind on my money, my money piling up hundreds
You say you did it, I done it
You old nigga, I'm younger
You fold up under pressure
I'm good straight in it stretchers
Bitches pecking my wood: wood chuckka chuckka
Never gave 2 fucks: double rubbers
Now your color turn your face to a red gusher
And your girl stick it to me like a car bumper
Never depended on anyone co-dependent
Kept my thoughts to myself, I don't need opinions
No middle mans, in the middle of my sands
Niggas thing they sweet, they can't even pay their incidentals
I'm instrumental, on any instrumental
I ain't pullin' teeth, nigga better hide your pillow
To these rappers to the fucking grizzle
Bad to the bone, red zippers, mike jizzle, I'm gone
Middle finger to my haters, muhfucka why you hating? I'm gone
I ain't really wanna do it but I did it to em, nigga I'm gone
Leave the beat shit alone, leave the bullshit at home, I'm gone
Even though I'm out of here, nigga gotta keep it real, I'm gone
Middle finger to my haters, muhfucka why you hating? I'm gone
I ain't really wanna do it but I did it to em, nigga I'm gone
Leave the beat shit alone, leave the bullshit at home, I'm gone
Even though I'm out of here, nigga gotta keep it real, I'm gone
Finally famous in this
I say, fuck sleep stayed up
Fuck you, pay up
Always got the paycheck
Never took a pay cut
Payday will be worth all the broke nights I stayed up
So in my cup I'm mixing up whatever dreams are made of
Not too many young g's made of what I am
So I was waiting on a doctor man, patient as I am
I guess a young d-boy made it into a man
With girls half-naked around like we finna land the sand
Red-eyes to Rome and they connecting to France
With some bomb-ass pussy, that bitch came straight from Iran
My jewelry made in japan, I'm off California drugs
And where I made my money? nigga, all of the above
I could count my inner circle on my hands and my feet
Passing joints long as a branch cause it's family tree
Doing "kush-ups" man cause the weed too strong
I'm a g + 1 what's that muthafuck, that's gone
The lyrics to Tyga and Big Sean's "I'm Gone" talk about how the rappers left their negative past behind to focus on their success. Tyga begins the song by saying he re-arranged his life, laughing about moments he had, some of which led to losing friends or being on someone's hit list. Despite the negativity he faced, Tyga focuses on his success and how he is driving a Ferrari and having fun. Wayne advises him to stick to himself and his vision, leading him to always wear biggie glasses and reinvent himself. What's more, Tyga talks about comparing himself to dope dealers and ball players and how people should consider him to be a dope-ass rapper and ballplayer. He even throws in lines about how he's never been saved by a lifesaver and will never call her later. Finally, he talks about rising to the top and leaving his haters behind.
The second verse is Big Sean's, who talks about his money, success, and how he got there, despite people's opinions. He talks about how he has always kept his thoughts to himself, avoided opinions, and didn't depend on anyone, leading him to become the instrumental changer in the rap game. He talks about girls who like him, going to Rome and France, but mainly focuses on counting his inner circle on his hands and feet, passing joints and smoking "kush-ups." He ends the verse by saying he's a "g +1," meaning he's gone and past people's opinions.
