Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter where I walk
No color down this road
Thing's be lookin' good as LA
I got all this food on my plate
That's just how you do in LA
I'll take two and parlay
The back and forth they ask for more, I deal that
Palace doors and action chords, I built that
Have my portion and some more to give back
It's all my fan that been hyped my shit
They the reason that the boy could live a life like this
I found my chips and play those
Yeah, fuck say though, casa muy bueno, hit the archipelagos
While they walking on eggshells, I be stompin' on Legos
Yeah, I'll do what I need to (Come along if you like)
See the bullshit is see-through (And their offer's a lie)
Keep doing to feed you (You will not take a bite)
It's got me feeling like
No matter where I walk (No matter where I walk)
No color down this road
I don't really wanna talk (I don't really wanna talk)
They comin' for my throat (Comin' for my throat)
Yeah, they said that they want me (Said that they want me)
I don't let 'em go for cheap (I don't let 'em go for cheap)
Won't sell my soul (Ain't gon' sell my soul)
Yeah, won't sell my soul
No matter where I walk (No matter where I walk)
No color down this road
I don't really wanna talk (I don't really wanna talk)
They comin' for my throat (Comin' for my throat)
Yeah, they said that they want me (Said that they want me)
I don't let 'em go for cheap (I don't let 'em go for cheap)
Won't sell my soul (Ain't gon' sell my soul)
Yeah, won't sell my soul
