[Intro]
The intro sets the tone for the song, highlighting Uzi’s confidence and readiness to tackle whatever comes his way.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Uzi expresses that he’s moving through life effortlessly, not worrying about making a hit song. He points out how many people talk tough until they face real consequences. He mentions his luxury lifestyle, emphasizing that he doesn’t settle for anything less than expensive items, whether it’s jewelry or weapons. He likens his Maybach truck to a rideshare vehicle, suggesting he uses it casually despite its value. Uzi’s warning not to “get lifted” hints at staying alert and aware in a dangerous environment.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the phrase “please don’t get lifted,” which serves as a warning to others. It underscores the idea that he’s armed and ready, with a loaded clip, while he treats his expensive vehicle casually, like a Lyft ride. It’s catchy and reinforces the theme of being prepared for anything.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Uzi continues to flex his confidence and dominance over rivals. He boasts about outsmarting his enemies to the point where they no longer exist. Uzi mentions having a high-tech weapon and how he’s adept at navigating tricky situations. He also touches on how others perceive him, noting that some think he’s soft because of his style. He contrasts that with his wealth, showing off his fat pockets and lifestyle. Uzi acknowledges his roots in the streets but emphasizes his rise to wealth, claiming he’s richer and more lit than ever. He references a violent past, indicating that he takes care of business decisively. The verse ends with a clever play on rideshare services, implying that someone missed an opportunity to avoid trouble.

He shares a personal moment where he was distracted by someone giving him jewelry, showcasing how life can get chaotic. Uzi acknowledges that the person he’s with is trying hard to impress him, hinting at a romantic connection, but he’s still focused on his mission and responsibilities.
