Soleboy Lyrics – Kodak Black

Soleboy Lyrics Meaning

Kodak kicks things off by saying he took another hit, which could mean he’s smoking or just going through another tough moment. He mentions a couple of people—Scotty and Baso—one of whom just got violent, and the other made a track. Then he kind of shrugs and says he’s always lit, meaning always partying or emotionally fired up, but the moment turns heavy when the music hits him emotionally. He breaks down crying, missing his kids, feeling like they’re probably wondering where he went. He’s scared he might never even get to spend simple time with them, like going to the park.

He reflects on his childhood, growing up poor in the hood, but still managing to have fun. But now, with money and fame, life feels harder in different ways. He talks about how things didn’t feel this heavy when he had nothing. There’s this memory of him as a kid, hiding and looking for his dad’s gun, just because he thought that’s what he was supposed to do. Then he’s suddenly in juvie, and at that point, he didn’t even know he had a kid. Nobody told him, and he’s shocked. He repeats that hurt and confusion like he’s trying to wrap his head around it.

He questions why the mother of his child never told him anything, especially when he wasn’t exactly living a quiet life. He’s mad but also owning up to his past mistakes, calling out how dumb some of his actions were. Even though he knows it was stupid, he says it all came from love—like trying to protect people who weren’t even his girl, or trying to defend family. He admits to reacting violently in situations that maybe didn’t need it but says he did it all for the people he cared about.

He shares memories of growing up in the projects, saying he wasn’t rich but was still kind of spoiled as the baby of the family. He got away with stuff, didn’t do chores, and even acted out on Christmas because he didn’t get any toys. Looking back now, he understands how hard things were for his mom and regrets how he acted. He’s thinking about his friends locked up and one who died while being charged with something. His future might look good, but his heart still carries a lot of pain.

He prays no trouble comes his way because he knows he’ll go too far with it. He admits he still wants revenge and asks God to forgive him for that. There’s someone trying to get his attention in a disrespectful way, and he’s ready to handle it harshly. He tells his mom to stop believing gossip online and says no one really knows what’s going on with him because he stays so out of it, mentally on another level. He talks about baby mama drama, saying she’s dragging him to court, but he still loves his kids deeply. If he could go back, he’d spend more time on himself instead of trying to bring people along who didn’t want to see him win.
