Mycul writes a letter addressed to the haters.

Behind the song

“Ramen & OJ” is directed at all of my former friends—the people who were around me before the success but doubted me, talked behind my back, or eventually disappeared from my life.

The song is me looking at the distance between where I started and where I had gotten.

I went from struggling and questioning whether any of this would work to making money and watching the things I believed in start becoming real. Instead of arguing with the people who doubted me, my answer was to keep succeeding.

There’s anger in it, but there’s also disappointment.

These weren’t strangers or random critics—they were people I once considered friends.

That’s why underneath all the flexing and competition is the realization that sometimes becoming successful doesn’t just show you who believed in you—it shows you who never really did.

Lyrics & wordplay

I don't know what else to do but I'm trying

a couple a screws they been loose in my mind

i thought it was true we were cool till we dying

i focused on me then i blew within time

you just a loser that would've been fine

but you was assuming that i was just blind

peep how you moving then follow the signs

a star will illuminate all within time

hey and I'm the brightest of them all but I'm brighter i evolved

I decided not to call so I'm writing this to yall

i dont think there is chance really nothing i can do

i been busy at the bank money makin every move

you a guppy in a tank I'm a shark inside a pool

when I pull up it's a fact turn the block into a school

i was stacking out the trap 30,000 bought a view

so I never could relax another 30 now its 2

meanwhile you just kickin back while you watching though i love it

telling yourself that you can if you could you woulda done it

im supposed to be your mans when you see me though you fronting

i could tell that you be mad though the way you change the subject

cuz they dont wanna talk about bout it

im a satellite away right outside it

where the ladder height will make a fighter pilot

get an astronaut to go to try to climb it

yea i made it out like i was not inside it

then i paved a route for all of my invited

but its crazy how they rather die than try it

Hook

you don't like your life then try running up

said my gun like my wifey we cuddle up

you don't care about no price when you double up

they say i did it right but done ain't enough

they talking bad behind me but not in front

when they see me its obvious who is up

so im hurting they pride just by showing love

im hurtin yo pride by showing up right? right?

ain't we supposed to be tight?

you said that this was for life! right? right?

i been taking your advice

i been waving my goodbyes

i been staying up at night

staring out into the skies

bitch im not regular average or normal etcetera

turn up the stereo im in ya area anywhere everywhere ready to

ready to bury ya like its a burial better be willing to bet it up

i don't compare to ya whoever said that puffin on something irregular

you will forever be under inferior level ya soon as the scent of ya pop up im deadin ya

that go for anyone everyone ready or not bitch but here we come

it can get scarier i'm in the mirror pretending thats me im a predator

you see that side of me you better body me i'm comin live and direct to ya

right to your retina baby

im about to step it up lately

i been forever debating on whether to sever the chain that you said would forever remain

i'm trying to weather the storm because whether it's rain or the snow man i never could change

you said you never would change that was before now we forever the same

you don't like your life then try running up

said my gun like my wifey we cuddle up

you don't care about no price when you double up

they said i did it right but done ain't enough

they talking bad behind me but not in front

when they see me it's obvious who is up

so im hurting they pride just by showing love

you don't like your life then try running up

said my gun like my wifey we cuddle up

you don't care about no price when you double up

they said i did it right but done ain't enough

they talking bad behind me but not in front

when they see me it's obvious who is up

so im hurting they pride just by showing love
