Gunna Loads Music Video For “i was just thinking” From a Gift & a Curse

Gunna comes strong as the a Gift & a Curse loads with the music video for the song, “i was just thinking” co-produced by Aviator Keyyz, Rick Anthony & Sammy Haig). Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track.

Gunna is obviously happy to have his freedom back after spending months behind bars awaiting trial on RICO charges. Since coming home, the DS4EVER artist has sadly become something of an outcast in the world of rap. Many who previously embraced Gunna have now turned their backs on him. In face, some have even gone so far as to accuse the YSL artist of snitching on Young Thug. While the So Much Fun hitmaker remains in jail, his frequent collaborator made a triumphant comeback with his new a Gift & a Curse album on Friday (June 16), which is now being followed with a music video.

Gunna unleashed the visual for “i was just thinking” on Monday (June 19) afternoon. The southern star – usually known for taking bold fashion risks – keeps it simple in the footage. He confidently raps over the Aviator Keyyz, Rick Anthony, and Sammy Haig-produced track in an all-black outfit. “I was just thinkin’ ’bout the times I was hard-headed / Thought it was right all along, I was misled,” he reflects.

“All this weight on my back feelin’ so heavy, these boys claim they want war, well, I’m war ready / I had to bake cake for the boy ’cause he playin’ petty,” Wunna continues, making it clear he’s heard the allegations from his haters. “I done gained a whole lot of more opps, now I’m home / Ni**as’ nose all in mine, don’t know how to mind they own / 23 and one, how you feel when you alone?” his bars continue, causing some serious reflection amongst hip-hop heads.

Check out Gunna’s new visual for “i was just thinking,” which follows last week’s “back to the moon” music video, on YouTube above. Do you think the Georgia-born rhymer’s latest project has helped him beat the snitching allegations piling up against him?

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh

[Verse 1]
I was just thinkin’ ’bout the times I was hard-headed
Thought it was right all along, I was misled
All this weight on my back feelin’ so heavy
These boys claim they want war, well, I’m war-ready
I had to bake cake for the boy ’cause he playin’ petty
I was so focused on the top and I’m still at it
They try to provoke me to stop, no, I won’t, damn it
They want me to go back to the block, no, no, no
I done gained a whole lot of more opps, now I’m home
Niggas’ nose all in mine, don’t know how to mind they own
Twenty-three and one, how you feel when you alone?
That’s four walls talkin’ to you, tellin’ you you gone (Tellin’ you you gone)
Only I done cried ’cause this feelin’ for my bro (King Slime)
And you know my mind, you done watched that nigga grow (Watched that nigga grow)
Know you hearin’ the lies that your lil’ brother might fold (Gunna Wunna)
Yeah, I had popped out, but don’t let ’em say I told
No, I ain’t you lil’ boys, I’ma show you that I’m grown
Bulletproof the big toys, let me show you how we roll
Old niggas in my business, had to tell ’em tuck they nose
You wack niggas can’t get with this, I’m one hundred for sure (One hundred for sure)

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh

[Verse 2]
I was just thinkin’ ’bout the shit I could avoid
Can’t afford shit ’til I make it on the Forbes
Lotta shit I did, niggas weren’t there to say I start
I never crossed lines, all I did was play my part
I ain’t sign for a dime, to my name, I had a quarter
Just at like twenty-five and didn’t have it all in order
Niggas think I’m indicted, don’t know that I’m immortal
No, I ain’t need no brown, but I’m back like at the Carter
I just been gettin’ high, I don’t never wan’ be sober
She say she gon’ ride, so I got her the big Rover
Young Gunna gettin’ wiser, don’t ever think it’s over
We done cut off ties and I gave ’em the cold shoulder
I swear this life’ll mold you (Oh)
Right the fuck back on, I know it’s been a minute
Bought a new wardrobe, bitches sayin’ a nigga skinny
Pockets still, uh, chubby, Lord knows I gotta get it
I’ll tell you this time around, they gon’ hate it when they against it

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah (They gon’ hate it when they against it)
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh
