Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say never say never, but forever its a far way
Penny with a hole in it, the bubble with my heart away
Its one away, hold away, always go for dolo
And going bloody insubordinate, up in the polo
Jordan prolly bordeaux, music go me more dough
See papi each of my crew is glorious as gordo
Maximus, maxima, acura the ... got you open bars
Like open bars that vroom, bouncing up and up to whoever

11 like whoever can get it
Im going in, you eatin checkers for dinner
I soak it in its the moment, Im on it, temporary forever
Im a writer but arsinist really
I get dollars where humble niggas wore positive energy
Im the voice of the city, rose styling and millie
She know Im all ghouls, she start ride up my willie
No really, used to whip the bentley for a 50
Go out booey and tell professor they better get me
Get me hoe, somebody get me dough
Ice cold frigid flow, iceberg history dough
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Its like Im the clouds and they fearing heights, december 3
Got a bunch of sneaks and nigga be flossing too much
Never keep broads for too long, women be talkin too much
And to be honest nigga cause modest when I be driving whats up
Nigga be talkin stupid, mula till the gallardo pull up
Im out my mind and I know it, bad drunk got some roll up
Ery junk that Im showin, built up like its supposed to
And thats a mark Im reppin jones,
Get it girl you know Ima drop for real
And you lil niggas taught me strong
I be flowin a little when I be on the strong
And occupy a couple corners after the song
You cant compete with me, I wont compete with yall
My quiver out them magazine, your junk from out the mall
Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me

Never, never, never could they fuck with me
Never, never, never could they fuck with me.
