Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to play them, now they choose up
Middle fingers, I got two of them
Truthsayer, I'm the truest
Make them bitches say they blew it
Fuck these niggas and they two cents
Take my baby out to Ruth's Chris
You said I wouldn't be shit
There's some shit I probably shouldn't say
Trap money that I put away
Don't you hit me for the discount
Shut the fuck up, I'm counting
All these niggas want is days now
I been out here moving mountains
Do what I do, niggas be asking for too much
Used to play them, now they choose up
Middle fingers, I got two up
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Fuck niggas gotta merge
Hit these bitches with the curve
All these bitches say they love me
Tell them it'll never work
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Broke boy get money now
Grey days turn sunny now
Skinny nigga got a tummy now
Money, money, money now
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
Bitches been happening, yo
