Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 song "Abu Dhabi" by 816 Boyz is essentially about making money and living the high life. The lyrics speak to the group's successes and achievements, including winning a Grammy and being an MVP. They brag about their material possessions, such as a crocodile skin on their shoes and driving a Bugatti, and they also reference the Middle Eastern city of Abu Dhabi, where they presumably have made a lot of money. 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.
The verses contain a lot of wordplay and slang that may be difficult to decipher for some listeners. For instance, they use the phrase "whoop de whammy" to refer to their car, and "hella boom" to describe their excitement. There are also some crass references to sex and women, which may be off-putting to some listeners. However, overall the song seems to be a celebration of their success and the lifestyle that comes with it.
