Bobby Valentino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And these hoes still lickin niggas earrings and shit, diamonds and shit
Nigga break it up, rock it up, bake it up
That's what homeboys do when they tryin to see somethin
Nigga shake it up, warm it up, cut it up
Playboy, won't you help a nigga come and move somethin
Nigga tint it up, rim it up, paint it up
That's what Cash Money do when they go and buy somethin
Nigga spend it up, drink it up, throw it up
That's the Cash Money modo, we don't give a motherfuck
Nigga shoot it up, boot 'em up, snort it up
That's what homeboys do when they beefin or somethin
Nigga makem' up, stack it up, jack it up
That's what playboys do when they come up on somethin
Nigga ice it up, dress it up, bezel it up
That's what Cash Money do when they lexin or somethin
Hoes suck it up, lick it up, drank it up
That's what hoes be doin tryin to come up on somethin

Tell me what kinda
Nigga got diamonds that'll, "BLING", blind ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga wear Roleys that'll out-shine ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga got diamonds that'll, "BLING", blind ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga wear Roleys that'll out-shine ya

Now now, it's Lil Weezy steppin on the gas, so smash
I don't mean to drive fast but I'm in a Jag
Catch me speedin up the block flossin, showin my golds
Wit me drop top ridin 'til me ??? explode
Got a vehicle wit games in it
30 thousand dollar Rolex wit Wayne in it
Got a Benz and a truck, 20 on my feets
Plus a house by the beach that I barely see
Man this the life behind the wheel of a Diablo doin 90
Boltin my doors up so that you can see me shinin
Tymer tymer, think you can phase, not hardely
I'm still a rider, and I tote K's, can't harm me
I pass ya block up, ya son amazed, but I'm sorry
It ain't my damn that ya'll ain't never saw a Ferrari
But you can check it, I ain't gon' even much sweat it
I'm headed to the casino wit 3 G's doin better

Tell me what kinda
Nigga got diamonds that'll, "BLING", blind ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga wear Roleys that'll out-shine ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga got diamonds that'll, "BLING", blind ya
Tell me what kinda
Nigga wear Roleys that'll out-shine ya

You could take the ugliest broad in yo city
Dress her up and make the ugly duck look pretty
Me? Number one pimp, playa
From the Himalaya, broads love the way I say a...
Mack-a-docious super knockout rap
Sittin in the club wit ya bitch in my lap

Guess who's comin to dinner
Captain weenie wit a beenie, best believe he fin' to
Stick a pickle dead up in yo mouth

If you gon' scream, then scream, if you gon' shout, then shout
Your name should be "oh" 'cause the thangs you do
Or suck that pickle, yeah, dat thang fit you
Ya yuckey don't miss a dropped star
I love it when ya do me in back of the car
You's a hot heated porno shooter, sex tooter
Barracuda, standin in the nud-a
Girl you da, reason why my dick standin heavy
Fuckin in the Chevy




House, lake in front levy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bobby Valentino's song, "Tell Me," highlight the extravagant lifestyle of Cash Money Records, which includes lavish spending on cars, jewelry, and drugs. The lyrics suggest that homeboys, playboys, and hoes are all engaged in various activities to make money and live the high life, including drug dealing and prostitution. The chorus repeatedly asks the question, "Tell me what kind of nigga got diamonds that'll 'BLING', blind ya? Tell me what kind of nigga wear Roleys that'll out-shine ya?" implying that the only measure of success is the wealth and material possessions of an individual, even if it involves engaging in illegal activities.


When Lil Wayne comes in the second verse, he talks about his fast lifestyle, including driving a Jag and a Diablo, wearing a 30k Rolex, and owning a beach house. He raps about his success, stating that he is the life behind the wheel and passing his block up. He also talks about heading to the casino with 3 G's, suggesting that he is betting big and living a life of excess.


The song reflects a culture of materialism, where success and self-worth are tied to money and possessions, even if it involves engaging in illegal activities. It portrays a distorted view of success and encourages young people to pursue wealth and material possessions at any cost.
