Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, puttin' that bad bit' in the Maybach (Maybach)
Now she tryna get it, pay back
Love it then she hate that (yeah)
That and a shower with no rain cap (rain cap)
Dollars fallin' from the sky, and she show me how she ride
She move, she wanna be my New New (be my New New)
After party and she come inside my room ('side my room)
Ain't no tellin' what I'ma do (yeah) for you
Yeah, diamond flawless (flawless)
Cash hit, had to run it up, now the boys wanna fuss
Don't be surprised that she was callin' (callin')
Glamboy pull up in a Track', yeah I know she tryna fuck
Got me surprised that he was ballin' (ballin')
Last year this time your boy was stuck, now I'm here to fuck it up
When I'ma leave she said, "You can't go" (go, go, go, go)
Fuck it, give me toppy, I'm on gang mode
I'ma hit it, this the Speaker Knockerz, she gon' do the bankroll
Ain't nothin' that's too expensive, anything she ask for
Glamboy never penny pinchin', what the hell these racks for?
I'ma blow you, punchin' Cuban flooded like the trap ho
And you know he shop for you, he runnin' thorugh the bloom, bloom (racks)
Ain't no cappin' when she pull up with the new, new (in the new, new, CC)
Satisfaction when she ride me like a choo-choo
Ain't no tellin' what I'ma do for you
Yeah, puttin' that bad bit' in the Maybach (Maybach)
Now she tryna get it, pay back
Love it then she hate that (yeah)
That and a shower with no rain cap (rain cap)
Dollars fallin' from the sky, and she show me how she ride
She move, she wanna be my New New (be my New New)
She wanna do the doggy like it's Blues Clues (yeah)
After party and she come inside my room ('side my room)
Ain't no tellin' what I'ma do (yeah) for you
Ayy, shittin' on these niggas, need my Pampers changed now
Finally I'm a big dog, Alexander Wang now
I can barely see straight, you all look the same now
I trusted a thot ho, that's why I'm in pain now
My emotions switched up, as soon as I came down
Think I need an upgrade, made her take a plane down
She took some time off school for me, I got her runnin' brain now
Diamonds look like Scuba Steve, put her on my chain now
Who instead of me?
Like the Medellin, we got cocaine
Foreign V, came with the courtside seats
They import these, had to throw some Gs
Differences I always knew, between me and you
Difference is a lot to lose, then she got confused (yeah)
Creepin' through the unknown, I need one phone (yeah)
Brought it back home just to break her back bone (yeah)
Yeah, puttin' that bad bit' in the Maybach (Maybach)
Now she tryna get it, pay back
Love it then she hate that (yeah)
That and a shower with no rain cap (rain cap)
Dollars fallin' from the sky, and she show me how she ride
She move, she wanna be my New New (be my New New)
She wanna do the doggy like it's Blues Clues (yeah)
After party and she come inside my room ('side my room)
Ain't no tellin' what I'ma do (yeah) for you
