Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
I need a Beamer
Wait...
Wait...
They want the drop on the Beamer
Aye
Wait
Wait
I can’t trust anyone
I don’t want your love
I can’t trust a hoe
You know my time too valuable
Young nigga got bands I’m about to blow
Make sure the trap is ensured
I keep a strap by the door
Blew like 4 through the door
Young nigga got hit with the fever
I got the chop in the Beamer
Hating niggas gotta take em out the way
Pray I make it out ok
Not get killed by my love for the gang
Get shot in my back as I’m walking away
Aye
I went from Honda to Beamer
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
First niggas wanna show me love
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
Hit the dealer shoe box with no sneakers
Wait...
Nah...
I ain’t need anyone
Had to get mines out the mud
Open arms but it wasn’t no hugs
I was taught not to show no love yea
Need that new Beamer on dubs
Don’t be reaching cause the fever on cuffs
Bumping base until the speakers gon' buss
All these dollars gon' buss
Imma make it flood yea
Still feed the streets like I’m FEMA
Land of the dreamers
Didn’t believe us
Made em believe us
Now they can see us
But I tinted the V up
Haters be all on our heels
My bitch driving I tell her to speed up
Double the re-up
Then kick my feet up yea
I went from Honda to Beamer
Went from shoe box to a visa
Awe Yea
Young nigga gotta get it right away
Imma get it right away
Big shit can’t get me out the way
Fuck nigga wanna take me out the way
Young nigga just living la vida
First niggas wanna show me love
Next nigga wanna give me slugs
Open arms won’t get no hugs
Yea
Wait
Want me locked up or somn
Young nigga got me fucked up
Young nigga went
I went from Honda to Beamer
I need a Beamer
In L-B's song "The Chase," the artist talks about his transition from a Honda to a Beamer, shoebox to a Visa, and how he needs to get what he wants now. He mentions how he can't trust anyone around him, and that he doesn't want anyone's love or a hoe, which could allude to him being surrounded by people who only seek his wealth or success. He mentions that people who first show him love are now the ones trying to harm him, showing how people around him can easily switch their intentions. He mentions how he has to be careful not to get captured or locked up, as people are trying to take him out of the game.
With lyrics like "young nigga gotta get it right away" and "young nigga just living la vida," it's clear that L-B is ambitious and determined to succeed in his music career. However, he also signals that this success comes at a price, as he has to deal with haters and people who don't have his best intentions in mind. The use of repetition in the lyrics, particularly in the chorus, emphasizes the urgency and importance of L-B's message.
Overall, the song seems to be about L-B's journey to success and the struggles that come with it. It also touches on themes of betrayal, fear, and distrust of others, which may be common in the music industry.

Then kick my feet up yea
I will relax and enjoy my success
