Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ion want dat fake ahh lean I pod it right out the ceal, and if it don't make dollaz then it ain't no deal
I buy Rolexes, yeah.
So I can get my time right, any second help me get my mind right cause I'm stressing mama said I shine right cause I'm destined, damn I live a hard life.
It's a blessing.
Pan up wid one mic it's a weapon, how Ima get my grind right, I'm just guessin, I need an answer, I got a question?
Yeah ...
I run the road every day, exit to exit.
State to state I'm progressing.
Back and forth I'm stepping
Ain't going back nomore they won't let me
Look at my necklace, pull up in the exess, pull up in bentleys, jumping out Lexus and jetsey
I'm swimming in the money fuck a jet skie, let reach.
Test me, 40 cal in a kick in like a jetlee.
Married to the money she said yes to me
And she don't want no other bitch to be next to me
Money talk yall can't even send a text to me
I'm whipping the dope they want the recipe
I buy Rolexes, yeah.
So I can get my time right, any second help me get my mind right cause I'm stressing mama said I shine right cause I'm destined, damn I live a hard life.
It's a blessing.
Pan up wid one mic it's a weapon, how Ima get my grind right, I'm just guessin, I need an answer, I got a question?
Yeah ...
Lime light, I'm riding rover
Yeah I live the high life, ain't never sober.
Early bird time flies, I'm getting older
First they was on my side
They switched over
Can't open my eyes, I'm blowing dozier.
Gambling wid my life, it's like poker.
30 inches on my ride boy don't go dea them boy low dea
Oh dea like, dea go dat Zoe dea
So so rare, red bottom so fresh I bought 4 pair
Ion feel nun so ion go bare
Ion catch feelings I catch flights in in yo hoe air
I buy Rolexes, yeah.
So I can get my time right, any second help me get my mind right cause I'm stressing mama said I shine right cause I'm destined, damn I live a hard life.
It's a blessing.
Pan up wid one mic it's a weapon, how Ima get my grind right, I'm just guessin, I need an answer, I got a question?
Yeah ...
The opening line of the chorus, "Ion want dat fake ahh lean I pod it right out the ceal, and if it don't make dollaz then it ain't no deal" addresses Kodak Black's aversion to counterfeit substances and lack of interest in things that don't generate money. He's trying to avoid fake lean, a type of cough syrup concoction usually mixed with alcohol and soda, which has become popularized by rappers. Kodak Black wants to stay away from that culture, implying it's not worth the trouble. He also clearly indicates that he's only interested in business deals which could profit him. This preference for wealth creation is reinforced in the following lines of the chorus, "I buy Rolexes, yeah. So I can get my time right, any second help me get my mind right." He's prioritizing his time so that he can better focus on his investments and the work that is required to become rich. He's saying that he doesn't want to waste time, and instead invests in quality timepieces that will help him stay more organized.
The next portion of the chorus, "cause I'm stressing mama said I shine right cause I'm destined, damn I live a hard life. It's a blessing. Pan up wid one mic it's a weapon, how Ima get my grind right, I'm just guessin, I need an answer, I got a question?" is focused on both Kodak Black's own ambition and his family. He's feeling the pressure of living a hard life but knows that he's destined for success. He's trying to use his music as a way to make progress in life and establish himself as a successful artist. Although he's trying to figure out the best way to get his grind right, he knows that he needs to take action and get it done. He's searching for an answer to his question and doesn't know for sure what the right direction is, but he's determined to accomplish his goals. Overall, the song is about Kodak Black's pursuit of success while keeping a level head and avoiding counterfeit substances or anything that would impede his progress.
