Aleus T.I. J Lowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m on fire bitch I’m hotter than the core (ouh)
Like the FBI I’m bustin’ through the door
Even though I got enough you know I’m always wantin’ more (skrr, skrr)
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before (ouh)
Spendin’ thousands in the fucking Gucci store (ouh, ouh)
On that grind, you know I stay up until four (skr)
Make my momma proud, you know that’s what I do it for
I gotta study cus I gotta pass
You stuck in slo-mo, while I’m living fast
All of these lames I’m about to surpass
I’m making art like I live in the MAS
You cooking fluids while I’m cooking gas
Don’t try and tell me that I’ll finish last
I am the future, bitch you are the past
You know that I bomb this shit like it’s Boston
I got too much power, like Austin
I pull up in that Lacoste and
Converse with the flames, I’m frosting
Like I’m Ice Cube straight outta Compton
Yeah I done got dressed in a coffin
I drip too hard like a dolphin
And I do this shit way too often
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before (ouh)
I’m on fire bitch I’m hotter than the core (ouh)
Like the FBI I’m bustin’ through the door
Even though I got enough you know I’m always wantin’ more (skrr, skrr)
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before (ouh)
Spendin’ thousands in the fucking Gucci store (ouh, ouh)
On that grind, you know I stay up until four (skr)
Make my momma proud, you know that’s what I do it for
Just got started, bitch I ain’t stopping, ay
Gucci store, watch me shopping, ay
Track to track, watch me hopping, ay
These other bitches is flopping
But enough of all that shit talking
2020, O S K I be popping
Billboard charts, one day I’ll be topping
Yeah we number one, Robbie Rotten, AYE
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before
Ballin’ even harder than before
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before (ouh)
I’m on fire bitch I’m hotter than the core (ouh)
Like the FBI I’m bustin’ through the door
Even though I got enough you know I’m always wantin’ more (skrr, skrr)
Bitch I’m ballin’ even harder than before (ouh)
Spendin’ thousands in the fucking Gucci store (ouh, ouh)
On that grind, you know I stay up until four (skr)
Make my momma proud, you know that’s what I do it for
