It didn't get easier as I got bigger. I just got tougher skin
Of the 6 lines here, 2 are lyrics (In n Out and It's Givin) and 4 are interview quotes. Confidence, growth and faith are the recurring tags, tagged on 2 lines each. The interview quotes are where the page turns reflective: one says success "didn't get easier as I got bigger" and that what changed was tougher skin. The lyrics are the opposite register, loud about arriving from the bottom and unbothered about who's watching. Put together they give the swagger and the cost of it.
I bring the table to the table, nigga, why would I need you? (The fuck?)
It hit harder when you come up from the bottom (On God)
Touched an M at 21, bitch, I'm a motherfuckin' problem
Pray but work hard at the same time. People just be waiting for stuff to happen. You gotta get up, especially in a world like this.
I don’t want nobody gassing me up 24/7. How you gon’ make me the best version of myself if you’re just pretending everything is gold?
now that it’s my time, I’m a very firm believer in that if it’s for you, it’s gon’ be for you.
