Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell my city I'll be back in no time
I got money pulling me from both sides, no lie (no lie)
I been running digits up the whole time
I been getting neck, she call me "Bowtie", no lie (no lie)
Living la Vida Loca (la Vida Loca)
Naked bitches sitting at the pool say "aloha" (aloha)
And I don't want no co-sign, that's that shit I don't like
Bitch, I feel like sosa (sosa)

Halfway down my cup, I get that numb feeling (yeah)
She give me the kitty, I go dumb in it (yeah)
After that you know, I let my cubs hit it
If the homies can't get nothing, ain't no fun in it (yeah)
I got people telling me I sold out (Sold out)
But lately every second feel like showtime (showtime)
Mama told me, "Son, you need to slow down"
But hunnids tellin' me to pay her no mind

Get to the racks
Fuck the bullshit and get to the racks
Get to the facts
Blood on my shoes, they bleed on the mat
Grew up too fast
Had to be a man, had to get me a sack
We were down bad
I knew I couldn't live like that
Get to the racks
Fuck the bullshit and get to the racks
Get to the facts
Blood on my shoes, they bleed on the mat
Grew up too fast (yeah)
Had to be a man, had to get me a sack
We were down bad
I knew I couldn't live like that

Tell my city I'll be back in no time
I got money pulling me from both sides, no lie (no lie)
I been running digits up the whole time
I been getting neck, she call me "Bowtie", no lie (no lie)
Living la Vida Loca (la Vida Loca)
Naked bitches sitting at the pool say "aloha" (aloha)
And I don't want no co-sign, that's that shit I don't like
Bitch, I feel like sosa (sosa)
Tell my city I'll be back in no time
