Waka talks about his experiences being liquored up and drunk, but he knows when to stop and pull over. He mentions how he feels for the opposite sex and how they feel for him, indicating that he is enjoying life's pleasures.
Waka mentions how he is a star, and everyone recognizes him with his last name, Flame. He talks about how he enjoys going to the club on the weekends and smoking big purp. However, Waka knows that he has to take a break from the nightlife and attend church, but sometimes he is too tired to do so. Despite everything, Waka continues to do what he knows best, and that is to make music.
In the last part of the song, Waka talks about his team's hustle and their lifestyles. They get the money, and they don't stop until they have enough to chew and digest. The team is prepared to disrespect those who are not part of their clique, and they can be brutal.
