(Nagra)
I don't even care about nun niggas gotta say, everybody can suck my dick
(Yeah)
Fuck it, I know I'm still young, I know I'm still dumb
But I'm tryna change shit
I send 'em, they pull up and bang shit
I try to chill out and focus on music
But niggas forgot that we dangerous
When it come to that iron, we slang shit
I'ma stay on this road 'til my laneswitch
On the road gettin' chicken, but we call it flickin'
These niggas ain't speakin' my language
Pussy boy, I don't fuck with that lame shit
It be hard to stay low 'cause this fame shit
Had this doll give me mop in the back of my Beamer
It's crazy you call her your main bitch
Every link-up, it's always the same shit
Now you not gonna know that the pain hit
Said you won't be a opp, had your bitch give me top
Told the guys, I'm like "Yo this is gay shit"
Weight gold, I ain't rockin' no stainless
Fill your head with three hollows, you brainless
Put them goons on your ass, they lookin' for cash
You fuck around, boy, and be chainless
My city, I'm tryna rename this
Run up on me, head tap, now you famous
And I heard niggas lookin' for me
And I heard niggas lookin' for my bros
Pop out, I be icy and clean
New drip from my head to my toe
Catch a opp, back-to-back in the Rolls
Bullets burnin', we get him, skips states and get low
Ordered my food, then I took it to go
I was thirteen, tryna flip me a O
When I ain't know nothin', I knew I would blow
I knew that one day I'd sell out a show
I know these fuck niggas want me to lose
Thanks for the haters for helpin' me grow
I got some feelings I never let show
Do it for Smelly, forever my bro
Ride through my city, I'm drivin' on Forgis
See me, I'm flexin' with butterfly doors
Fuck it, I know I'm still young, I know I'm still dumb
But I'm tryna change shit
My youngins they be on that gang shit
I send 'em, they pull up and bang shit
I try to chill out and focus on music
But niggas forgot that we dangerous
When it come to that iron, we slang shit
I'ma stay on this road 'til my laneswitch
On the road gettin' chicken, but we call it flickin'
These niggas ain't speakin' my language
Pussy boy, I don't fuck with that lame shit
It be hard to stay low 'cause this fame shit
Had this doll give me mop in the back of my Beamer
It's crazy you call her your main bitch
Every link-up, it's always the same shit
Now you not gonna know that the pain hit
In "LANESWITCH," Lil Tjay demonstrates his confidence in his abilities and his disregard for the opinions of others. He dismisses anyone who disrespects him, asserting that he doesn't care about what they have to say and that they can "suck [his] dick." Tjay admits that he is still young and can make mistakes, but he is determined to change his life for the better. He acknowledges the gang culture surrounding him and sends his "youngins" out to do his bidding. He tries to focus on music but people forget that he and his crew are dangerous, especially when it comes to weapons. Despite this, Tjay vows to stay on his chosen path until he switches lanes to something greater. He is constantly chasing that bag, which he refers to as "chicken," and he won't let anything stand in his way.
The rapper also delves into his personal life and experiences, including his early days trying to sell drugs, his struggles with fame, and his close relationships with certain individuals. He reminisces about the times when he was just a young kid flipping ounces of drugs to make money. Tjay asserts that even then he knew he would sell out a show someday, and he thanks the haters for propelling him to that level of success. He has feelings that he doesn't show to others, but he keeps going no matter what, always doing it for his fallen friend, Smelly. Tjay concludes the song by celebrating his present reality of driving in his fancy car with butterfly doors, flexing his newfound wealth and status.

I don't even care about nun niggas gotta say, everybody can suck my dick
I don't care about others' opinions, they can all go to hell.
Fuck it, I know I'm still young, I know I'm still dumb But I'm tryna change shit My youngins they be on that gang shit I send 'em, they pull up and bang shit I try to chill out and focus on music But niggas forgot that we dangerous When it come to that iron, we slang shit I'ma stay on this road 'til my laneswitch
Although I admit I'm young and inexperienced, I'm trying to make a positive difference. My team is into gang life, and I deploy them when needed. I want to concentrate on music, but people forget we are dangerous with weapons. I'll keep rolling and changing lanes to reach my goals.
On the road gettin' chicken, but we call it flickin' These niggas ain't speakin' my language Pussy boy, I don't fuck with that lame shit It be hard to stay low 'cause this fame shit Had this doll give me mop in the back of my Beamer It's crazy you call her your main bitch Every link-up, it's always the same shit Now you not gonna know that the pain hit
I'm hustling on the road, and we call it making money. Others don't understand me or speak my language, so I don't associate with them. I'm not interested in weak people or fake friendships. While fame is hard to manage, I've had a girl perform a sexual act in my car. It's insane that someone calls her a main girlfriend. I'm tired of predictable events and painful surprises, so I'll keep moving forward.
Said you won't be a opp, had your bitch give me top Told the guys, I'm like "Yo this is gay shit" Weight gold, I ain't rockin' no stainless Fill your head with three hollows, you brainless Put them goons on your ass, they lookin' for cash You fuck around, boy, and be chainless My city, I'm tryna rename this Run up on me, head tap, now you famous
You said you weren't an enemy, but then your girl gave me oral sex. I told my guys, and we thought it was foolish. I don't wear cheap jewelry, only real gold. I'll shoot you with three bullets in the head, and you'll be brainless. My goons are after you for money, and if you mess around, you'll lose everything. I'm so influential in my city that I want it renamed to honor me. If you confront me, you'll pay the ultimate price, and people will know your name because of it.
And I heard niggas lookin' for me And I heard niggas lookin' for my bros Pop out, I be icy and clean New drip from my head to my toe Catch a opp, back-to-back in the Rolls Bullets burnin', we get him, skips states and get low Ordered my food, then I took it to go I was thirteen, tryna flip me a O When I ain't know nothin', I knew I would blow I knew that one day I'd sell out a show I know these fuck niggas want me to lose Thanks for the haters for helpin' me grow I got some feelings I never let show Do it for Smelly, forever my bro Ride through my city, I'm drivin' on Forgis See me, I'm flexin' with butterfly doors
Some people are looking for me and my friends, but when I appear, I'm looking fresh and clean. I'm always wearing the latest fashion items. If we catch an enemy, we chase him across state lines and escape. I order fast food to go. I was only thirteen when I started selling drugs, and I knew I'd be successful someday. I always knew I'd perform in front of packed audiences. I thank my haters for making me stronger because they want me to fail. I have some hidden emotions. I do what I do for Smelly, my late friend. I drive around my town in an expensive car with butterfly doors.
