Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I get some extra sauce up in my plate?
Can I get a pita, hummus, and a drink?
Tell me why you cash only at this joint
Why you never got no seating for the boy?
How's it going heard the money's coming in
Yeah Mustafa they just hate to see you win
Bacon, pussy, alcohol your parents never know
I know I'm eating good whenever you around
Extra baba ganoush when I hit the dap and pound
I heard you got a brand new shawty in your life
Is she a fling or a ting or a wife?
Oh man heard her daddy doesn't like you
(Oh yah!) And her brother wants to fight you
Heard you got some competition down the block
Aye boy don't even trip we all know this the spot
You the man, you always come through in the clutch
You the man, you keep it open for the rush
You the man, you always serving up the stuff
You the man, you even serve it when I'm drunk
Yeah, pull up on y'all when I need my fix and I need my fix
Had a little margarita now I need a little pita just to balance out the mix
Pull up on y'all after some wine and a few martinis
So pull up on me with falafel dressed in tahini
Can I get some extra sauce up in my plate?
Can I get a pita, hummus, and a drink?
Tell me why you cash only at this joint
Why you never got no seating for the boy?
Heard your little brother tried out for the team
Inshallah he makes it onto varsity
Your older brother got a boyfriend on the low
That's some shit he hopes your family never knows
Heard your sister working hard to pay for college
Heard your mom is working hard to pay the mortgage
Heard you working extra shifts to fill the wallet
'Cause your son is scared that y'all might get deported
You had to leave you didn't have an option
Where you're from, they don't do a lot of talking
Bling blauw oh they aim it at your noggin
Or they drop them shits when no one sees it coming
You the man, you always come through in the clutch
You the man, you keep it open for the rush
You the man, you always serving up the stuff
You the man, you even serve it when I'm drunk
Yeah, pull up on y'all when I need my fix and I need my fix
Had a little margarita now I need a little pita just to balance out the mix
Pull up on y'all after some wine and a few martinis
So pull up on me with falafel dressed in tahini
Can I get some extra sauce up in my plate?
Up in my plate, extra sauce up in my plate?
Can I get some extra sauce up in my plate?
Up in my plate, in my, in my, in my plate?
