The song’s melancholic and thought provoking production adds layers to its soul - “Switch the route / I'm back in rhythm now, uh-huh / 'Member days I prayed up to the clouds, uh-huh / I'ma keep it blazin' while I'm growin' through thesе trials / Never tap out, 'til mama proud.”
Lyrics like “A part of me keep thinkin' I got issues / Everything ain't always meant to be /And I been sufferin', heart pumps inside my body” - adequately describe the anxious feelings that take over a person constantly contemplating their path, questioning their sanity along the way. “I been sinnin', ain't no saint / But I chose to make a change / Learn from my mistakes.”
