The repetition emphasizes the message that it’s no use dwelling on past issues or emotions.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Lil Tjay reflects on his journey and how things have changed. He notes that it’s been a while since he dropped new music, and now he’s ready to go hard and prove himself. Despite facing doubts and people who were shady toward him, he always believed he would rise to the top. He acknowledges that his success could stop if he were lazy, but he pushes through the pain in his mind, constantly moving forward. His determination is clear, as he refuses to waste time and keeps showing the results of his hard work. The pain he feels from past memories is still present, but he remains focused on the future.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Lil Tjay talks about how people hate on him, but he’s unfazed. When he steps out, he shines with his wealth and success, making it clear that his haters can do nothing to stop him. He’s aware of the envy around him, especially when it comes to his achievements. With his expensive wristw*tch and his rise from nothing, he feels like he’s proven people wrong. He’s confident about his growth, graduating from the streets, and now handling business like a man. He admits to feeling stressed at times but remains loyal to the friends who have supported him from the start. Despite the haters, he’s sticking to his plan and knows that people will have to respect him, even if they don’t like him. He’s proud to be one of the youngest to make it big.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the same sentiment as earlier, where Lil Tjay talks about how it’s been a while since his last release. He emphasizes that he knew he’d make it to the top, despite the doubt and hate from others. The focus is on keeping momentum, showing that despite carrying heavy mental burdens and painful memories, he won’t slow down. He’s determined to keep going, and all the effort he’s putting in is starting to show.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, Lil Tjay gives a shoutout to his “real ones”—his true friends and those who have supported him through thick and thin. He also remembers where he came from, specifically the Bronx (BX), and expresses pride in representing his hometown. Despite the struggles, he acknowledges the people who stuck by him, especially those who are locked up or struggling. This part highlights loyalty and gratitude, reinforcing his connection to the streets that shaped him.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Lil Tjay dives deeper into the struggles he’s faced. He talks about the rough conditions he grew up in, mentioning things like roaches in the house, and how tough it was. He also reflects on how some of his friends made bad decisions, leading to serious consequences, like facing prison time. Despite all this, he’s grown into a stronger person, with a “cold heart” from all the pain and betrayal. His vision may be blurry due to all the hardships, but he walks through life with his head held high, refusing to seek approval from anyone. He’s moved past poverty, stacking up money and becoming successful, and now he’s more focused on his own growth than arguing with others. He’s no longer concerned with anyone’s opinions, and he’s confident in his ability to keep rising, always looking ahead.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats again, echoing the themes of resilience and determination. Lil Tjay talks about how time has passed, but he’s not backing down. He knew he would rise to the top, even when others doubted him. Despite the weight of past struggles and painful memories, he continues to push forward, showing that his hard work and perseverance are paying off.
