Drifting
me&john Lyrics

SY! SY! SY! SY! SY!
Introspective vocalization setting the tone for the rest of the song.

Yea we back lil bitch
John and his collaborator are back and ready to make music.

Drifting through the clouds with my woes
Feeling like they are floating through life on cloud nine with their struggles and worries (woes) in tow.

Balance out the highs with the lows
Maintaining balance in life by accepting both good (highs) and bad (lows) experiences and emotions.

Baby wipe your eyes wipe your nose
Comforting a loved one who is upset or crying.

Circle getting tight keep me close
Surrounding oneself with a small, trusted group of people who offer support and stay loyal.

Why you off that?
Questioning why someone is acting strangely or out of character.

Ain't no off days
Working hard every day with no breaks or days off.

Yea this all work
Acknowledging that success is the result of hard, consistent work and effort.

Bitch you all games
Expressing frustration towards those who do not take things seriously or work as hard as they do.

Only money on my line
Focusing solely on making money and not wasting time on non-profitable activities or relationships.

Don't be funny on my line
Asking others to take their work and communications seriously and not make jokes or waste time.

I ain't tryna pass the ball
Asserting control and refusing to rely on others to carry the workload or take the lead.

Why you tryna pass the time?
Questioning why others are wasting time instead of being productive or making the most of it.

You can't hang if you ain't gang
You cannot be part of the group or succeed if you are not willing to put in the work and effort like the rest of the team.

She gon tell me she in love
A woman claiming to be in love with John without him knowing her or her intentions.

I don't even know her name
Expressing confusion and disbelief about a stranger's sudden and intense affection.

They don't even work bout as hard as my thumb did
Expressing frustration towards those who do not put in enough effort or work as hard as they do.

Boy I put in work and did dirt check my thumbprint
Referring to evidence of hard work and past struggles through physical marks such as calluses on thumbs.

They don't even know about me got assumptions
Others do not truly understand John or his experiences, yet make assumptions about him.

While I don't got time for that dumb shit
Rejecting pointless and negative opinions or attitudes from others.

I'd rather get a drum make em run like a trumpet
Rather than engage in pointless arguments or drama, John would rather focus on his music and make a positive impact through it.

I don't do this shit for fun boy I do this shit to function
Emphasizing that John is not making music for the sake of enjoyment, but rather as a way to cope and function in life.

Couldn't give a fuck just in case you was wondering
Not caring about others' opinions or judgments.

Duck duck goose yea I'm going duck huntin
Using playful language to describe John's determination to achieve success and hunt for new opportunities.

You a bird to me
Considering others (who do not work hard or take things seriously) as insignificant or irrelevant.

Took his bitch from him that's a burglary
Boasting about taking another man's girlfriend or lover as a conquest or accomplishment.

Lookin hella crazy wanna murder me
Aware of others' jealousy and hatred towards his success and determination.

Tell him do sum bout it with the urgency
Challenging his enemies to take action and prove their worth.

Quit cursing me
Asking others to stop insulting him or wishing him harm.

I shook em off I'm back in my ways
Overcoming obstacles and distractions, and returning to his usual working habits.

I seen it all came back in one day
Despite experiencing many struggles and obstacles, John managed to overcome them in a single day.

I talked to God he answered I prayed
Finding solace and guidance in spirituality and prayer.

I took a loss still I stand unchanged
Despite experiencing failure or disappointment, John remains resilient and determined to succeed.
