Grabbing my iron
Bitches be spying
I don't stress
I feel blessed
I don't restI progress
Catch me flying
Grabbing my iron
I feel blessed
Catch me flying
All my enemies are eternal fuck the rest
Keeping it fresh
Grabbing my iron
I could keep it on my side with no stress
Sending everyone to voicemail
Cause they didn't believe me when I told them Im focus
Im not saying Im not lucky
Im just saying Im just chosen
Need to stop smoking on your girls weed
Contact list you don't know me
Only getting full cause your girl feed
That nigga always broke on the low key
I feel blessed S on the chest
Call a nigga super fresh
Grabbing my iron
Holy water pussy got me feeling blessed
Pulling right up to the bank
Pulling right up to the bank
Pulling right up to the bank
Grab all this money and put it all into my dreams
Then I wake upTo a mattress on the floor
Eviction notice on the door
Dog piss all on the floor
Kept my eyes on my paper
Like I'm taking notes
Niggas ride for a favor
Watch him getting smoked
Im a dog but I don't bite

Cousin calling collect
Had me short of my breath
Don't you stall with my check
Where my check where my check
Feeling cold cause I'm torn
Use the stove to get warm
I was born in a storm
Ya Ya Ya Ya
Lowest point in my life
Rock bottom had a basement
Apartment had no lights
Now my jewelry keep the place lit
Niggas in my sight
So I had to leave the face lit
Grabbing my iron
Bitches be spying
Walk up in this bitch with throw aways
Im about to start a riot
Grabbing my iron
Bitches be spying
Rock bottom had a basement
I feel blessed
Catch me flying
All my enemies are eternal fuck the rest
Keeping it fresh
Grabbing my iron
I could keep it on my side with no stress
Sending everyone to voicemail
Cause they didn't believe me when I told them Im focus
Im not saying Im not lucky
Im just saying Im just chosen
In the song "Voicemails" by cl0udy., the artist explores themes of resilience, self-empowerment, and the challenging realities of life. The repeated phrase "Grabbing my iron" serves as a metaphorical representation of taking control and defending oneself against adversities or enemies—both external and internal. This line signifies a readiness to confront struggles head-on, suggesting a sense of agency. The repetition of "Ya Ya Ya Ya" creates an almost mantra-like refrain, reinforcing a feeling of confidence and determination. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has faced difficulties yet retains an optimistic outlook and sense of progress, encapsulated in the lines "I don't stress / I feel blessed."
As the song unfolds, there are indications of betrayal and a lack of support from others, hinted at by lines such as "Sending everyone to voicemail / Cause they didn't believe me when I told them I'm focused." Here, the artist expresses discontent with people who have not taken them seriously, a reaction that drives a wedge between personal ambition and external validation. The imagery of a contact list and the mention of "girls weed" suggests a lifestyle infused with casual relationships and social circles that do not truly understand the artist's journey. This disconnect propels the artist forward in their quest for success, emphasizing the internal motivation over external acknowledgment.
The chorus recalls the tension between material aspirations and the harshness of reality, exemplified through the mention of an eviction notice, living conditions, and financial struggles juxtaposed against dreams of prosperity. Lines like "Pulling right up to the bank / Grab all this money and put it all into my dreams" symbolize a desire to turn financial gain into personal fulfillment, yet the reality is grim—a mattress on the floor and a life characterized by strife. Despite such imagery reflecting rock bottom, the lyrics affirm a resilient spirit, indicating that the artist is undeterred by their circumstances and is focused on moving up and out of their situation.
Towards the end of the piece, the artist reflects on personal sacrifice and the harsh lessons learned from adversity, such as through familial struggles, represented by the cousin calling collect. The phrase "I was born in a storm" indicates that the artist's hardships have shaped them, providing both context and depth to their identity. The reference to "jewelry" illuminating a "dark" apartment emphasizes the contrast between material success and a chaotic domestic existence. Overall, "Voicemails" delivers a gut-wrenching but empowering narrative of survival in the face of overwhelming odds, asserting that while struggles are real and present, optimism and self-determination allow for progress and growth, defining the journey toward a self-made destiny.
