In the song, Lil Tjay reflects his struggles in his past life and what he has learned from them,[1][2] and promises to improve himself and not let them control his future ("Can't change, I remember what I been through / So when I spit no need for pencils / Traumatized, shit be fucking with my mental / I seen some shit I can't get into / I'm just tryna be somebody influential / A lot of souls I could vent to / My success is not something coincidental").[3]
