To understand what it might mean, please provide more information:
* What was the context? Was it a conversation, a song lyric, a written text, etc.?
* Who said it? Was it a friend, a family member, someone from a particular region, etc.?
* Can you give an example sentence? This will help me understand the intended meaning.
With more details, I can hopefully figure out what "on a" means in your particular situation.
