Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ten gold chains, wood grain, propane
Sell the whole thang from the cellphone rang

I'm the dope mane bitches sniffin' cocaine
All my young niggas know that they could all weigh, all weigh

(Call me, call me, call me) All weigh, all weigh
(Call me, call me, call me) All weigh, all weigh
(Call me, call me, call me) All weigh, all weigh

(If, if, if you see me trouble, bitch)

They call me young drug dealer

24 years old worth a couple million
Shouts out to my cuz niggas
Finna' let it fly for my blood niggas
Middle finger up to you fuck niggas
If you a trill nigga, then fuck wit' us
Nigga dash like a speed of a bullet
Wit' a pistol on him prolly' wouldn't even pull it
Heart made of pudding, mean muggin' wit' a hoodie

Down to let it fly when I shouldn't
All my young niggas they gon' rep it to the fullest
Tell a fuck nigga "be you, fuck tough, be cool"
All the young niggas in crew they down to let it fly

For a nigga like me, young nigga like me

For a nigga like me, jiggy young nigga like me

Ten gold chains, wood grain, propane
Sell the whole thang from the cellphone rang
Ten gold chains, wood grain, propane

Niggas claim they the God of black
Well your name is purple I'm the God of that
Gave you my back, nigga pardon that
Fuck that shit I brought mobbin' back
Brought robbin' back, brought the Garden back
Motherfuck black land I brought Harlem back
Rollin' in my Benzo
Hoes on the curb a couple of friends
Rollin' down my window
Yo what's the word, fuck it get in
Ride round wit' these bimbos
She gave head to my kinfolk
Shout outs my connect though
Keep a watch out for them Winslows
'Cause the boys gon' creep
D-boys gone' serve
Hoes gone skeet and the V gone swerve
I'ma get by while the world gon' turn
I'ma get mine like you gon' get yours
Niggas do the least do when the piece got nerve
Niggas in the streets when the heat got burned
I tell nigga "be you, fuck tough, be cool"
Couple young niggas down with my crew who be down to let it fly

For a nigga like me, young nigga like me

For a nigga like me, young nigga like me
