This line isn’t about foamposites, he says “I’ll be in a box, when my coffin drops”. Meaning he wont be boxed in as an artist or individual, the only time you can box him in is when his coffin drops.

I go back to an original hotbox session where eye drops are always needed.

here’s how I looked at this part. “ I’ll be in a box when my coffin drops ” means he will already lay still in a box when dead so why be still in a box ( cubicles or offices ) while still alive?

“I’ll be in a box when my coffin drops”

noting that you can’t put him in a box; put a limit on his potential, and perhaps the only time that will happen is when he’s being buried – “when my coffin drops”

He’s expressing that no one writes for him. He doesn’t need it. Also referring back to who influenced him, Capital Steez.

I'mma make my way to first class
Got to keep a blunt though, I always pass Pro Era – School High

Some subtle “first class” wordplay — Joey will get high through his blunt, but he’ll be flying smooth in first class, as in flights

“First class” is also tied in with Joey saying he will go to his first period class. DUH!

He also always has a blunt and he is saying although he always goes to class high he always passes the course also a double meaning on that when he says i always pass meaning he also passes the weed

To blaze or not to blaze, that is the question
First day of school late, already in suspension Pro Era – School High

Joey here puts his own spin on that high school reading staple, Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy

second line states it’s the first day of school and he’s already high in suspension

The second line is a double entendre.
1. High in suspension (as already stated)
2. And hes already in suspension (sort of like a long detention) for doing something wrong.

I done reach my goal, but I'm not done being a minor
Underground climbing, they can't dig it, they can't find us Pro Era – Run or Fly

Double Entendre:

Joey has reached his goal of being known throughout the underground rap world.

Joey has reached GOLD from being an underground minor.

For now, Joey says he still needs to monitor how other rappers come up from nothing to a lot. He’s climbing outta' the underground rap dungeon so he needs to do it right. Meanwhile, while he’s progressing with his crew, nobody will notice him in the mainstream until he has officially signed

Also, its wordplay on the word “minor”

He’s a miner underground climbing. So if you can’t dig it, you cant find him.

“I done reach my goal, but I’m not done being a monitor” It’s “monitor” right?
