One Foot In Lyrics
Yeah uh-huh
Yeah uh-huh
You know? You know they gotta move out the way
When the real ni**as come through
Hahaha I don’t care ’bout none of that
They gotta salute this shit yo
Everybody can’t go and you probably won’t make it
I whipped that powder to glaciers and found the Oasis
My history a street dealer narcotics on paper
This work I’m cuttin’ more times than Kyrie been traded (Yeah)
I was one foot out the game after that freestyle with Flex
I was one foot in the door at JAY-Z house with West’
Now you see how I cleaned house and see wild success
A rapper nеver reached out hе either senile or deaf
I’m gettin’ big in the paint I’m all rebounds and TECs
Put rapper heads on walls like TV mounts for checks
You beat out the best and then you weed out the rest
Comfortable at home wherever I put my feet down and next (Yeah)
And this one for the hustlers who I was handin’ ounces
Now look at God I wrote this verse in my GRAMMY outfit
I was runnin’ routes resort back to your instincts
When one in doubt was up a plug with one foot in and one foot out
I had one foot in the game (Game)
Playin’ hopscotch with ‘Caine (‘Caine)
True story based on actual events (And this really happened)
I had one foot out the door (Door) my whole team was sellin’ Dog (Dog)
I was rappin’ still straddlin’ a fence (Straddlin’ a fence)
I had one foot in and one foot out
One foot in and one foot out
One foot in and ain’t nobody know it (I kept it low though)
I had one foot in and one foot out
One foot in and one foot out
You really can’t do both ’cause you’ll blow it (Gotta watch that)
The price goin’ up? “Better believe it” he said
Cocaine water waves still splash ’til we sea sick
C6 to C11 (Go) these bricks I’m a legend (Go)
Whippin’ ’til forever infinity measures
I mean ni**as got some lines that’s clever but they ain’t really better (Go)
Than a guy that carry a cross and a Beretta
Sittin’ in these label meetings like “This shit feelin’ like a set-up”
Ni**a shut up
You say the wrong number I might get up
I hear these ni**as’ new get-up it sound real Stove-ish (It sound like me)
But I’ma let you rock until I’m fed up (Hahaha)
Put my foot on the gas and I ain’t let up (No)
I’m a letter up a M, boy
I’m quiet with this cash money I’m Slim boy
These ten bricks of boy look like cinnamon (Like cinnamon)
It was his own ni**as that did him in (Ha)
So I keep my circle small
Have my young boy run up on you clowns (Brrt bap-bap-bap)
And shoot the circus up
I got one foot in the door (Brrt bap-bap) and one foot on the raw
I had one foot in the game (Game)
Playin’ hopscotch with ‘Caine (‘Caine)
True story based on actual events (And this really happened)
I had one foot out the door (Door) my whole team was sellin’ Dog (Dog)
I was rappin’ still straddlin’ a fence (Straddlin’ a fence)
I had one foot in and one foot out
One foot in and one foot out
One foot in and ain’t nobody know it (I kept it low though)
I had one foot in and one foot out
One foot in and one foot out
You really can’t do both ’cause you’ll blow it (Gotta watch that ah)

Benny the Butcher & Stove God Cooks One Foot In Song Meaning
The song talks about the struggles and choices faced by people living in tough environments, especially those involved in street life and hustling. Let me break it down for you:
Benny the Butcher sets the tone by saying that when real people show up, others need to step aside and respect. He’s confident about his success and doesn’t care about those who doubt him.
Benny talks about how not everyone can succeed in the streets, and most won’t. He mentions his past as a drug dealer and how he’s made it big in the rap game despite facing doubts. He’s proud of his achievements and warns others not to underestimate him.
He describes being torn between his illegal activities and his music career. He’s juggling both worlds, which is risky but necessary for survival.
Benny emphasizes the struggle of balancing two conflicting lifestyles. He had one foot in the streets and one in the music industry, but it’s hard to keep both without getting caught.
Stove God Cooks continues the theme of hustling and street life. He talks about the rising prices of drugs and his prowess in the game. He mentions being cautious in the music industry, suspecting betrayal, and staying true to himself. Stove God keeps his circle small and is ready to defend himself against any threats.
Again, the struggle between illegal activities and music career is highlighted. Both Benny and Stove God face the dilemma of choosing one path over the other.
The chorus repeats the idea that it’s hard to balance both worlds without consequences. They warn against trying to do everything because it’s likely to lead to failure or trouble.
In summary, the song reflects the challenges and risks involved in street life and pursuing a legitimate career simultaneously. It’s a cautionary tale about the dangers of straddling two conflicting worlds and the consequences that come with it.
