Intro (Luca Brasi 4) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Here Kevin Gates opens with a raw and violent picture, not to be taken literally but as a way of showing how intense and fearless he is. He’s setting the mood for the project, almost like saying he’s been through real struggles and battles most can’t imagine. By repeating the question about what others have done, he challenges people to measure their toughness against his. The lion reference shows dominance and survival instincts.

[Verse]
Kevin starts by talking about old wounds from the past—both physical and emotional—that sometimes still hurt even if they’ve healed. He’s had to distance himself from old friends and relationships that no longer served him. Now he’s feeling alive again, achieving things he once only dreamed of, and reaching heights most people never get to. He’s honest about not forgetting what people did to him, even if he forgives, but he chooses not to dwell on it.

He notices how some people only want to be around him now because of his success, but they hide that real reason. Gates makes it clear he understands the “game” people play, and he warns others not to mistake his kindness for weakness. He sees himself as powerful, protected by divine energy, and someone who carries both spiritual weight and street credibility. He even compares himself to religious figures, calling himself the lamb of God and a prophet, showing how deeply he views his purpose and presence.

He then shifts into his past hustling lifestyle, when he didn’t even have a safe and had to stash cash in shoeboxes. That life of danger and instability pushed him to aim higher, and now he’s moved into a more successful, secure space. He contrasts his old days of shootouts and running from police with his current life of fine dining, rooftop brunches, and luxury homes. Through this, he makes it clear he’s unapologetically himself, no matter how people feel about it.

Kevin also shouts out people who supported him and helped him bring out his true self. He embraces his identity as tough and bulletproof, dressing sharp while still respecting hard-working people. He identifies with a mafia-like strength and honor code, saying he’s built for serious things while other rappers only copy his style without truly living it. His references to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, and Colombia highlight his global reach, connections, and ties to the streets and cartel imagery.

Then, he turns to a more personal note. He admits that while he makes people feel safe, deep down, nobody can really save him but himself. He wonders why people hate him when all he’s done is be real and genuine, even showing others the path to success. He talks about his dedication, sacrifices, and how he’d put his life on the line for someone he loves. His passion shows up in how he describes deep chemistry in relationships and his willingness to die for his partner’s safety.

Finally, he emphasizes that he’s not just part of the crowd—he’s a leader and someone who has elevated his position. He references his ties with powerful groups and daily interactions with people of influence, underlining how respected and established he is. His confidence shines through in every line, proving he knows his worth and isn’t afraid to claim his place at the top.

[Outro]
The repeated phrase at the end reinforces his identity as a strong figure surrounded by powerful men. It’s like a chant of pride, showing unity and status. By repeating it over and over, he hammers in the idea that he’s deeply rooted in strength, respect, and influence, standing tall with others who share that same code.
