Lawnmower on
Cuttin' greens

Straight from my 9 to 5
I'm on my own (Hey hey)

I'm obsessively
Over sensitive
Even when i'm wrong
Wow
Here's my 2 12
Yeah
I think i'm done (Ok)
Hold up
Nickonor
Run it back again
Hey
In the opening verse of the song, White talks about keeping it clean, and how the devil is leaning on his body. He laments being unable to acquire the holy grail of the things he desires, and how God should forgive him for the things he can never give back. He emphasizes this by repeating the phrase "time's up" throughout the song. White then goes on to talk about how he feels blessed despite the challenges he faces, and encourages others to keep their heads up and grind. In the second verse, White receives a call from an unknown number that he thinks is watching him. He talks about his trust issues and how he hates opening up about things, but he warns others to love him now because he's not new to the game.
The song seems to be a reflection of White's struggles and triumphs in the music industry, and how despite the challenges, he is still holding on and pushing through. He warns about the dangers of trust and how this can hold one back from achieving their goals. The use of the phrase "time's up" throughout the song may also be a message about the need to act fast and make the most of the time one has.
