VERSUS
A.V.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, look, let's go
'Bout time man move off
I was on the strip tryna rake it
Get home yard and I watch some Boondocks
Pretty one said she wanna said come crib
Blindfold ting 'til she takes her shoes off
Blow my stick while I'm blowin' my moonrocks
Like, yo
Yo, wait, just cool off
Don't move yet, got a sell by the park for one of the dark and two rocks
Told that gyal, "You ain't staying for long
So there's no point relaxing and taking shoes off" (yeah)
I never met El Chapo
Was a yout from the hood that I first got food from
Look, look
First got food off of big bro
I was out here, I was doing my job
Then I hit a lick, no bingo
Took a quick pack of a foolish fob
Nigga, why not?
Me I need cash, you can't step on my prof
I was like, "Damn, I need to better my stack"
You was like, "Damn, I need to better my watch"
Yo, you bought jewels and copped no hammers
In all honesty, bro, you're doing it backwards
Machines get copped, then the whips got copped
And so do bullets and stab vests
Told my bro, "When you're checking for CCTV
Make sure you check homes with cameras"
Saw your opp and you never wanna creep up
That's a rookie move should of took advantage
Yeah, nigga, lemme advance
YT mad cah he missed his swing
Tazz in the can cah he took his chance
Tesco bag if I got no gym
I can't hit that chick if she got no arse
Jakes pop out that's a serious sprint
Cah that K9 grips anybody who's last
S-sweetest flavors
Nuff fragrance get put in my pot
I weren't tryna get no thot
I was parked outside Steven's spot
Bro-bro with the meanest drop
Still stardog for the regulars
Gelaty if you're feeling posh
They come here tryna even odds
Yo, the Jamaicans say that I'm hearted
Cah even when I'm on a island
I'm still tryna rise up machines and raas it
Auntie Debbie still pissed with me
Didn't send her a ting now she calls man crasis
Copped my flick shank from the market
For times when it's stiff and I can't bring the darg in
M's got the carbine in the function
Metal detectors must be faulty
Either way man's cool, man's cozy
Told bro, "You're good, man, produce your Rollie"
Two man up in three blacked-out stoleys
This was the wrong day to wear man's Stoney
Asking hella questions, is my man nosey?
Goin' gym everyday won't help when this 38 slug beats through protein
Yo, I heard my man's rapping now (yeah)
What's he gonna talk about? Footy? (What?)
A thousand pebs in this cunch-mobile
Mad man, I don't stand at no bookies
Look, I don't even want them cookies
It smells too weak and the buds look bummie
And she ain't even giving no nookie
But it's all cool, I want her best friend's nunie
I can't lie, I'm not too bothered
She holds contraband for a minimal fee
Bad-bad bitch don't ask for no P in between
Just some weekly dick and some weed
Damn, bitch pick up my trees
I build big heads in the trap
I got Kit Kats tryna pick up my leaves
Little nigga but the face looks clean
Stack my cash, it's the same regime
Two-t-two hands and they work
Shank in my hand, I don't need no beam
Mmm, niggas getting it mixed
What have you done this lockdown
Corona times I bought two new sticks
Either probation or high street bop
And that's the only time man roll with flicks

Yeah, look, let's go
Starting off with a strong call to action
'Bout time man move off
Time to get moving and get things done
I was on the strip tryna rake it
I was hustling and trying to make some money
Get home yard and I watch some Boondocks
Got home and watched some TV to relax
Pretty one said she wanna said come crib
A girl invited herself over to my place
Blindfold ting 'til she takes her shoes off
Did some kinky stuff with the girl
S-sweeetest thing
The girl was amazing
Blow my stick while I'm blowin' my moonrocks
Got a BJ while smoking weed
Yo, wait, just cool off
Pause for a moment and relax
Don't move yet, got a sell by the park for one of the dark and two rocks
Wait, I have a deal to do nearby
Told that gyal, "You ain't staying for long
Told the girl she had to leave soon
So there's no point relaxing and taking shoes off" (yeah)
No need to get too comfortable
I never met El Chapo
I never knew a major drug lord personally
Was a yout from the hood that I first got food from
Got my first drugs from someone in my neighborhood
First got food off of big bro
Got my first drugs from my older brother
I was out here, I was doing my job
I was hustling and making money
Then I hit a lick, no bingo
Robbed someone or something without getting caught
Took a quick pack of a foolish fob
Stole a small package from someone
Nigga, why not?
Why not take the opportunity to make some money?
Me I need cash, you can't step on my prof
I need money and won't let anyone steal from me
I was like, "Damn, I need to better my stack"
Realized I needed to make more money
You was like, "Damn, I need to better my watch"
You were more concerned with buying material possessions
Yo, you bought jewels and copped no hammers
You bought jewelry but didn't invest in weapons
In all honesty, bro, you're doing it backwards
In my opinion, you're investing in the wrong things
Machines get copped, then the whips got copped
First we buy guns, then we buy cars
And so do bullets and stab vests
Also need protective gear
Told my bro, "When you're checking for CCTV
Gave advice to my friend
Make sure you check homes with cameras"
Ensure there are no security cameras around
Saw your opp and you never wanna creep up
You had the opportunity to take out your enemy but didn't
That's a rookie move should of took advantage
That was a mistake, you should have taken advantage
Yeah, nigga, lemme advance
Time to make a move
YT mad cah he missed his swing
Someone is angry because they missed an opportunity
Tazz in the can cah he took his chance
Someone is in jail because they took a risk
Tesco bag if I got no gym
Carrying things in a Tesco bag because I don't have a gym bag
I can't hit that chick if she got no arse
Not interested in a girl if she doesn't have a big butt
Jakes pop out that's a serious sprint
If the police appear, we need to run fast
Cah that K9 grips anybody who's last
Police dogs will catch the slowest person
Nuff fragrance get put in my pot
Add fragrance to my drugs
I weren't tryna get no thot
Wasn't looking for a girl to sleep with
I was parked outside Steven's spot
Parked outside a place where a drug deal was happening
Bro-bro with the meanest drop
My friend has the nicest car
Still stardog for the regulars
Still selling drugs to my regular customers
Gelaty if you're feeling posh
Got a fancy ice cream if you're feeling luxurious
They come here tryna even odds
People come here to buy drugs and level the playing field
Yo, the Jamaicans say that I'm hearted
Jamaican people think I have a lot of courage
Cah even when I'm on a island
Even when I'm relaxing on vacation
I'm still tryna rise up machines and raas it
Still plotting illegal activities
Auntie Debbie still pissed with me
My aunt is still angry with me
Didn't send her a ting now she calls man crasis
Didn't send her anything and she thinks I'm crazy
Copped my flick shank from the market
Bought a weapon at the market
For times when it's stiff and I can't bring the darg in
In case I can't bring my dog to a fight
M's got the carbine in the function
I have a carbine rifle with me
Metal detectors must be faulty
Security isn't detecting my weapons
Either way man's cool, man's cozy
Either way I'm comfortable and fine
Told bro, "You're good, man, produce your Rollie"
Told my friend he doesn't need to worry since he has a nice watch
Two man up in three blacked-out stoleys
Two people in three blacked-out cars
This was the wrong day to wear man's Stoney
You shouldn't have worn expensive clothes today
Asking hella questions, is my man nosey?
Someone is asking too many questions and being suspicious
Goin' gym everyday won't help when this 38 slug beats through protein
Being physically fit doesn't matter if you get shot
Yo, I heard my man's rapping now (yeah)
I heard that someone I know is now rapping
What's he gonna talk about? Footy? (What?)
What topics will he cover in his music? Sports?
A thousand pebs in this cunch-mobile
A lot of drugs in my car
Mad man, I don't stand at no bookies
I'm too smart to waste time at a betting shop
Look, I don't even want them cookies
I don't want to hang out with certain people
It smells too weak and the buds look bummie
The drugs don't look or smell good
And she ain't even giving no nookie
Not getting any sexual favors from a girl
But it's all cool, I want her best friend's nunie
It's fine, I'm interested in her friend anyway
I can't lie, I'm not too bothered
I'm not really concerned
She holds contraband for a minimal fee
She's willing to store illegal items for a small amount of money
Bad-bad bitch don't ask for no P in between
A promiscuous girl who doesn't want anything in return
Just some weekly dick and some weed
Just looking for a casual sexual relationship
Damn, bitch pick up my trees
Get my drugs for me
I build big heads in the trap
Make a lot of money selling drugs
I got Kit Kats tryna pick up my leaves
People trying to get some of my drugs
Little nigga but the face looks clean
I may be small but look innocent
Stack my cash, it's the same regime
Keep making money as usual
Two-t-two hands and they work
Two people working together
Shank in my hand, I don't need no beam
Have a weapon and don't need a flashlight
Mmm, niggas getting it mixed
People getting confused
What have you done this lockdown
What illegal activities have you done during the COVID-19 lockdown?
Corona times I bought two new sticks
During the pandemic, I bought new weapons
Either probation or high street bop
Either get arrested or make money on the streets
And that's the only time man roll with flicks
Only carry weapons during risky situations
