816 Boyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We get money over here
Money over there
Money over here
Money over there
All night and all day

Pull up in a '96 whoop de whammy
8-1-6 boyz got that grammy
My baby momma's momma told me
She can't stand me
Rollin' up and hella boom
Screamin' like a banshee
Get the arab money,that's (Abu Dhabi)
Keep a hand in case they (try to rob me)
Tryin' to get the paper, tryin' to(cap that money)
Drivin my scraper around like (a Bugatti)
Abu dhabi is good but too much
We keep it everything hood that we touch
I like it, I love it I want some more of it, I say
Don't know Abu Dhabi but you gon' learn today

[Chorus]
Look out, Im on my (Abu Dhabi)
I'm like "oooh" that's (Abu Dhabi)
All night and all day

My Life is all Abu Dhabi
Are we oh we cain't be baby
They be hatin' lately
Maybe cause I made a crazy statement
When I'm off the lac gold back
And the range I be holdin'
New crocodile skin hangs on my soles when
I'll be slidin through the function
Like a Spike Lee movie
On my Kansas city
Ice tea
Excuse me, you must be from Ireland
Cause every time I see you my penis is doublin
MVP? Check nigga
2 years in a row? Check nigga
A Wayyne verse? Check well?
Techs got it, my nigga
Abu dhabi im good
All I need is a check nigga
Money family royalty
Most of all is respect nigga

[Chorus]

Pause. Check Twitter, it's trending
Real DJs are ahead and start spinnin'
I know it's the fifth time everyone has requested
But don't be a bitch like the Grinch who stole Christmas
Abu Dhabi, it means its all good
Wishin' Abu Dhabi is like wishin a nigga would
"I can't be Abu Dhabi", means I can't be touched
If you got me Abu Dhabi you got me fucked up
Woo woo, woo woo, woo! For the family
Sha-shake, sha-shake shake ya ass hottie
Wanna see ya hands up in the party
Now that, now that's (Abu Dhabi)

[Chorus]

A! B-U D-H-A-B-I!!
Ay! The crew, he pay nay, he die
Play! Me through, DJ make me fly
Away! Yeehoo 'cause we H-A-P-P-Y!!!
Humm du la la love my skril la la la
Well, some milla, yes, I fell you mama
Some after some everyone wants to come a la la
For ya dolla-la-la
Yes! Whore let my money entrigue ya
I go money crazy cigor like libra
Dough in my jeans make me lean like Pisa
So when you see me say Abu Dhabi, my nigga





[Chorus]

The chorus repeats the phrase "All night and all day" which suggests that they are always working hard to make more money and achieve success.
