Time For Me

In 'Time For Me,' Migos delve into their past struggles and the journey that led them to their current success. The song opens with a reflection on the time wasted during their early days in the 'bando' (abandoned house), where they faced starvation and had to resort to illegal activities to survive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the harsh realities they endured, emphasizing the importance of their gang and the loyalty that kept them going. This backdrop sets the stage for a narrative of resilience and determination.

The chorus repeatedly highlights the disdain for starvation and the necessity of locking in during late nights to make ends meet. The mention of 'spinnin' and finessin' niggas, robbin'' underscores the lengths they had to go to survive. The song also touches on the idea of keeping it real and never getting extorted, a testament to their integrity and the lessons learned from their tough upbringing. The 'nawf' (North Atlanta) is referenced as a place that raised them to be strong and smart, further solidifying their identity and roots.

As the song progresses, Migos reflect on their current status, marked by luxury and success. The imagery of 'five watches plain, three flood' and 'twinkle, twinkle, yellow diamonds' contrasts sharply with their past, symbolizing their rise from poverty to wealth. Despite their success, they remain grounded, acknowledging the importance of family, the gang, and their fans. The song closes with a sense of gratitude and a nod to their relentless hustle, encapsulating the essence of their journey from the bando to the top of the music industry.
