Take It Off
A.Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear God, I wanna thank you for this big redemption
Dear God, I wanna thank you for this bad bitch I got on my side
Dear God, I wanna thank you for letting me be a real nigga
Dear God, I wanna thank you for giving me a second chance
Dear God, I wanna thank you for all these dollars and gold

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

Eastside Johnny on one, ain't no question what it is
2-2-3, I'll let you hold one if you come between my hands
I'm just slidin' through the streets, I'm just slidin' through the pen
Politicking on the yard, drop your ass off a tip
I don't trust nobody, but my daughter and my shotty
If it blasts, that's a bag, if he live, caught a body
2-door seats, you know me
Windows tinted, so the law don't see
I like top when she all on me
Panties drop when they call on me
Skin-tight fade, with the red Cortez
Clip ain't in, but it's one in the head
Girl don't play with it, heard what I said?
Girl don't play with it, heard what I said?
Ain't no stains up on my suede
I been high for like 4 days
On the vibe for like 4 days
Catchin' fades and runnin' plays
Goddamn

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

I'm on 10
I go in
I just pop
I just win
Off the lot
In a win
I am Rock
Who is him?
Fuck you doin'?
Get a bag
Sellin' work
In a lab
Smokin' purp
In a Lamb'
Pull up, skrrrt!
'Rari, fast
Off the porch, tendencies
Two for one, ten apiece
Fuck the ones takin' beans
Add two, twelve deceased
Pour up one for Stephon Clark
Then jump in and push the start
If I send this caviar
Nigga I ain't mad at y'all
Goddamn

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
Top off, drop off (Where the cash at?)
You ain't me, nigga
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)




You ain't me, bitch
Knock it off! (Where the cash at?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Take It Off" by A.Jay is a celebration of his success, but also an acknowledgment of his past mistakes and the hardships he has endured. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Top off, drop off, where the cash at?" which seems to represent the mindset of the singer: a focus on money and success. The verses, however, go deeper into the singer's psyche and give us insight into his character.


The first verse is a series of lines addressed to God, thanking Him for various blessings in his life. The use of "bad bitch" might seem crass, but in this context, it represents a desirable outcome, something that he has achieved through hard work and focus. The second verse is a collection of images and experiences that seem to represent the potentially dangerous and volatile world that the singer comes from. He mentions his "shotty", referring to a shotgun, as the only thing he trusts besides his daughter. He also mentions sliding through the streets and the pen, which could mean he has a past with criminal activity or has spent time incarcerated.


The final verse is a series of braggadocious lines that show off his wealth and status, but also his morals and values. He mentions pouring one out for Stephon Clark, who was killed by police in 2018, which shows that he is aware of and affected by social issues. He also mentions "selling work", which could be interpreted as drug dealing, but then follows it up by saying "smoking purp", short for grape-flavored marijuana, implying that he doesn't engage in selling dangerous drugs. The song is ultimately an exploration of the duality of the singer's life: he is grateful for his success and blessings, but also remembers where he comes from and the forces that have shaped him.

This series deserves its own theme tune, and should include the lyrics "They never learn their lesson."

EDIT: I've got one thanks to AI!

Jay and Mikey, masters of disguise,
Their bad boy reputation, a clever guise.
Popular despite their antics, they stand tall,
But justice catches up when they least recall.

Their mothers shake their heads in dismay,
But these two troublemakers find their own way.
With Shaun as Jay and Kaido as Mikey,
Their chemistry sparkles, wild and mighty.

Jay and Mikey, they never learn their lesson,
With mischievous hearts, they keep on guessin'.
Through highs and lows, they'll find their way,
In every escapade, come what may.

So here's to Jay and Mikey's tales,
Of mischief, laughter, and the friendships they hail.
With Shaun Dixon and Kaido Lee in tow,
They bring these wild characters to life's grand show.
