A Thing Lyrics – M24

A Thing Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Here, M24 talks about chilling and reflecting on his life. He’s thankful to still be alive because he’s seen how easily things could’ve gone wrong. When he says he’s done “driver” and “passy,” he’s referring to being both the driver and the passenger during serious street situations, showing he’s been involved in all sides of the action. He remembers fallen friends and admits that it’s hard to heal from that pain. He calls out people who act tough but aren’t really about that life. There’s also a mix of street life and relationships — he’s with a girl who likes rich and dangerous men, and he’s attracted to her confidence and looks. He mentions how he now lives better, tapping his card instead of carrying cash, but still stays alert after past shootouts. Even though his lifestyle is risky, he sees it as part of his normal routine. When he talks about business meetings and cleaning up his look, it shows he’s balancing street life with success. But there’s also a hint of distrust — he knows people who act loyal can also put you in danger. By the end, he shows how detached he’s become, treating people coldly if they cross him, whether it’s friends or women.

[Chorus]
This part talks about a woman who’s attracted to men with money and a tough image. She’s from America and loves his UK accent and swagger, showing how his charm and street style catch her attention beyond borders.

[Verse 2]
Here, M24 continues to mix talk about his lifestyle, money, and the street world. When he says all his jewelry isn’t good for him, it’s like he’s admitting that material success doesn’t fix everything. He’s still caught in danger and chaos. He describes moments of luxury like going on a cruise, but also moments of recklessness, like risky behavior with women. He calls himself a gangster and points out how women are drawn to that bad-boy energy. He mentions the losses he’s felt, saying even those who are gone can sense what’s going on, hinting at guilt or emotional weight. Then he brags about his influence — when he’s active, gun violence rises, and when he stops, it falls, showing how much power his presence holds in the streets. He explains how he and his cousin used to move aggressively, putting enemies out of action. He’s fearless around rivals but cautious when the police are nearby. Later, he shifts into showing off his success — his fancy G63 car, jewelry, and fame. Despite this success, he still carries that street mentality. He even jokes about how others try to copy his style but insists he set the trend first.

[Chorus]
The woman’s attraction comes back again — she’s into rich, fearless men and falls for his UK charm and bold personality. It shows the mix of love, power, and image that runs through his world.
