Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You already know what it is, Hood Pope (Killa!)
Dipset (A$AP!)
We runnin' this shit
None of y'all niggas can fuck with us

Rubba band man got the pocket with the bankroll
Call me Stunna Man, diamonds shining like the rainbow
Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Yeah, you can call me Usain Bolt

Rubba band man got the pockets with the bankroll
Call me Killa Cam, diamonds shining like the rainbow
Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Nigga, you can call me Usain Bolt

Two model bitches with me asking for a sugar-free Red Bull
Mix it with the Tito's, now they walkin' with that dead look
Coke up in they nose, that's why their nostrils got that red look
If a police on me, jiggy nigga make the Feds look
I just brought a Rollie and my bitches broke the bezel
When you make it this far, certain niggas try to test you
Still live up in Harlem, rich nigga in the ghetto
Yeah, rich nigga in the ghetto

Rubba band man got the pocket with the bankroll
Call me Stunna Man, diamonds shining like the rainbow
Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Yeah, you can call me Usain Bolt

Rubba band man got the pocket with the bankroll
Call me Killa Cam, diamonds shining like the rainbow
Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Niggs, you can call me Usain Bolt

Yo, in front of the Waldorf
Valet said that he's sick of us
I mean he just can't get wit' us
What's the problem playboy? It's only six of us
Yeah, with twenty-five cars, this shit's just ridiculous
Thought we, was inconspicuous
He said "yeah right nigga, y'all meticulous"
Twenty-five to life, at one time I was risking it
Ten digit nigga, old life I ain't missin' it
Fuck on me, baby girl, you should just think a bit
Bang down, real low, my zippa come unzipping it
Yeah, I think I really love her 'cause she started kissin' it
I mean, she really started kissin' it

Rubba band man got the pocket with the bankroll
Call me Stunna Man, diamonds shining like the rainbow
Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Yeah, you can call me Usain Bolt

Rubba band man got the pocket with the bankroll
Call me Killa Cam, diamonds shining like the rainbow




Runnin' this shit, you can call me Usain Bolt
Nigga, you can call me Usain Bolt
