Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shawty in the back with vip that's gang
Bussin in the whip and we booming on ship
People know we sauce so we give em that dip
So much swag gotta put it in a clip
Ice in the veins with water they sip
Kkk got nothing on us cause we takin shit out
But we keep that drip
Forces so white that i got cold feet
When you pull up on me ima give you this heat
Put the money down yea da the blue strips clean
Makin so much money yeah you can't compete

The lyrics to Mr. Green's song "What Can I Say" are focused on the rapper's wealth, style, and status. The song begins with Mr. Green boasting about his VIP status and the wealth he possesses, which he believes is superior to everyone else's, even the Ku Klux Klan. He also talks about his impeccable style, which he describes as being so white that he has "cold feet" and his "forces" are the cleanest. The rapper's moneyed life is also evident as he describes "blue strips clean" and "million-dollar mindset" as different domains.
Mr. Green gives credit to his success by calling out the "whole gang" and their contribution to their dining experiences. He also talks about his many female admirers, whose subservience to him he suggests is because they are enticed by his superior wealth, which he describes as the "next gen art." Mr. Green further references his sexual prowess when he talks about a girl's "caked up face" and suggests he could "break her spine."
Overall, the song is an expression of Mr. Green's unwavering belief in his superiority over others due to his wealth, style, and social status.
