88GLAM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(YoungBoyBrown, on my kids)
I was just poppin' these pills, this ain't Tylenol
Promised myself that the first was my last
Dollars ammountin', I stack it like mountains
I promised my mama, my foot on the gas
Attracted to me 'cause my sign is a Sag'
Run up the mileage, we fuck 'til it's quiet
I'm catchin' 'em all like I earned me a badge
Takin' it back 'cause she heard that we on
Now she recitin' and singin' my songs
Cuban link on me the settings in prongs
I just went savage, no turnin' it off
Room full of bitches, they turnin' me on
Pressin' a button and poof and it's gone
Two-tone my bracelets, they get along
Got two different places, but none of 'em home
Nowadays I sit in the back of the foreign
Reclinin' the seats, this no AMG base
Found out your boyfriend a bitch and he all on my IG
He preein' the time that we spend
Hit that again, after I spend, I just did that again
Talkin' that shit 'cause I back it again
Most of these rappers all cappin' again
VVS diamonds, that's one on my lens
Constant deposits inside of my bank
G-Wagon pull up, it look like a tank
I'm stayin' high, I can't tell when I land
Aimin' my Glock and I know it won't jam
Got the spread on these niggas like strawberry jam
Put a hit on these niggas, it cost me some bands
Had to shit on these niggas, I put on these pants
I was just poppin' these pills, this ain't Tylenol
Promised myself that the first was my last
Dollars ammountin', I stack it like mountains
I promised my mama, my foot on the gas
Tell me she Taurus, she sing like the chorus
Attracted to me 'cause my sign is a Sag'
Run up the mileage, we fuck 'til it's quiet
I'm catchin' 'em all like I earned me a badge

I was just poppin' these pills, this ain't Tylenol
I was casually taking drugs, not just ordinary painkillers
Promised myself that the first was my last
I made a commitment to stop after the first pill
Dollars amountin', I stack it like mountains
I'm accumulating a lot of money, piling up like tall peaks
I promised my mama, my foot on the gas
I made a promise to my mom to keep pushing forward and not slow down
Tell me she Taurus, she sing like the chorus
She told me her zodiac sign is Taurus, and her voice is as captivating as the chorus
Attracted to me 'cause my sign is a Sag'
She is drawn to me because of my astrological sign, Sagittarius
Run up the mileage, we fuck 'til it's quiet
We engage in intimate activities until everything becomes silent
I'm catchin' 'em all like I earned me a badge
I'm successfully pursuing and gaining a large number of achievements, like earning badges
