Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know she snake she gone rattle
I ain't bringing certain bitches to my castle
You better sign them papers baby you can't tattle
I ain't getting Jada Pinkett'd that's for damn sure
I heard staying out the news is like a battle
I gotta watch just how I'm moving shit to fragile
Just like a judge I keep that hammer like a gavel
If I'm going cray the studio my pad room
You you you you know lies after some lies is like a guilt trip
I keep my foot on people neck just like a heel flip
When I touched down in the H I was on that trill shit (trill)
I gotta watch these hoes they thinking I'm they mill tick
I see that number green or red I hit that kill switch
If you ain't getting bread you probably ain't gone feel this
Bitch ima grind until that money hit the ceiling
Bitch ima grind until the label worth a billion
Haha Bandit Business
