Bobby Shmurda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They be begging me to breed a bitch, but I can't keep a bitch
You know me right that I'd beat a bitch, I'm a leader, bitch
I ain't even with the screaming shit, I'm a freezer, bitch
The next month where my sneakers ripped with the Beamer whip
Shooting niggas in front of Keisha crib right where Keisha live
Homie, tell me if you need a shift, I'm at Rita crib
CC2's like every weekend, bitch, ain't no sleeping this
I was selling white, homies 'bout to cause some wreck tonight
Ain't no chick tonight, police looking for us left and right
Ain't no rest tonight, we on the run until the check is right
You get the message, aight?
Now what you know about that kitchen life
When we was pitching white?
People saying that I'm pitching right, but we ain't living right
I told Bobby keep that pistol tight the way we living life
Niggas turn into that jealous type when you start living life
Now what you know about that kitchen life
When we was pitching white?
People saying that I'm pitching right, but we ain't living right
I told Bobby keep that pistol tight the way we living life
Niggas turn into that jealous type when you start living life
I'm living life like a boss
Bitch, take a photo and get busy with a star
I'm living large so [?] to my car
But I just know that shit real fast when it start
For sure expensive cars, I'm a full, I'm a Dodge
I'm a nigga that make music for a job
I'll drop a bomb on your big body cars
Nigga, what you thought? Bitch, I'm Rowdy, I go hard
With 30 bands then I blow it on the squad
Give a little bit of shmoney to my moms
Remember when that nigga used to jiggle hard
Now we living large
Now what you know about that kitchen life
When we was pitching white?
People saying that I'm pitching right, but we ain't living right
I told Bobby keep that pistol tight the way we living life
Niggas turn into that jealous type when you start living life
Now what you know about that kitchen life
When we was pitching white?
People saying that I'm pitching right, but we ain't living right
I told Bobby keep that pistol tight the way we living life
Niggas turn into that jealous type when you start living life
