The Come Up

Couldn’t Wait For It signifies Blxst’s self-made story. While Blxst knows he’s in the limelight, he understands there’s a long way to go when he says, “I know I got more to prove. I wasn’t born to lose.” The chorus highlights Blxst hunger and ambition to become a successful artist, and he isn’t willing to back down because he “gotta be G.O.A.T approved.”

In the song’s first verse, Blxst compares himself to the late Nippsy Hustle, a rapper, entrepreneur, and community activist. This comparison implies that Blxst wants to be a contributive member of society because he understands his music “affects lives.” Indicating that he’s looking at a bigger picture. By the end of the first verse, the artist mentions who he’s grateful for because they were part of his come-up and allowed him to remain grounded.
