Bun B & Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now when it come to making money,
I'm a printin' press (Press)
When it come to being "Trill",
I'm a litmus test,
Run it like a fitness test. (Test)
And when it come to making hist'ry,
I'm like Jo son (Son)
A million ways to die,
You already chose one! (One)
A million dollars stacked,
It sounds like a good beginning ('ginning)
We on the top now
Go back and tell the hood we winning! (Winning)
And while ya there let 'em know
I did it just for them! (Them)
I made them cough the cash up
And left them just the phlegm. (Phlegm)
Is that the "King Of The Trill"?
Go tell 'em, "Yes, it's him! " (Him)
And his testosterone is up who's got the estrogen. ('gen)
I like your girl and I think she like me even more (More)
I hit her with that heave and hoe
And them I'm leaving bro. (Bro)
The Dirty South's finest!
And Dirty South's behind us!
Now that's a plus on the report card, not a minus!
Keep your security blankets because I'm not your lighters
You got a problem with us,
You know just the spot to find us!

Uh! Since your telling on me tell the world 'bout me
Ask your girl about me, she probably tell you that I

My time is money,
So I put some money on my time (Time)
Lightening on the Breitling
So exciting when you see that shine. (Shine)
We on that level,
That's before it's never even thought of (Thought of)
I broke my bread and fed the team just like the Holy Father. (Father)
I helped the blind to see and kept it G just like I oughta (oughta)
The only thing that's left for us to do is walk on water. (Water)
We playing all four quarters, 'til the clock expire ('pire)
So 'til I see the ref waving, I will not retire! ('tire)
My flow is still official! ('ficial)
And I still got the fire (Fire)
Can't take your eyes off me (Off me)
Like when you watch "The Wire".
And in '0-10 (10)
we finna go in (In)
So let the opposition know there is no win (Win)
And I am no friend! (Friend)
So put your hand down!
And tell 'em, "Stand down!" (Down)
Before it's man down. (Down)

E'ry time I come around!

'Round! I got a hundred girls in each phone
Drizzy Drake man! Young Sweet Jones.
I never cheat unless you count the girls I cheat on,
I know you can't bring every single one you meet home.
Home sick just when I thought I was sick of home
Losing track of time, everyday we switching zones.
Drizzy Hendrix, I'm just backstage getting stoned
Thank Me Later man, a million copies shipped and gone.
Overboard nigga! I'm quoted more nigga.
Results are in I guess you should have voted more, nigga.
Swimming in the money, y'all just float ashore nigga
Never drowning what the fuck you think this boat is for, nigga.
Yeah, I'm quick to take an R'n'B diva out
I'll bring some friends, she bring some friends that know what we about.
And when it's done, I'll put some slippers on and see them out.
And tip the driver to make sure he take the scenic route.
I swear these women living like they tryna write a book after
But I'm just trying to keep it G for my chapter.
Listen to my words! See just what I mean!
Rest in peace to Chad Butler everyday I'm riding clean!

Uh! Since your telling on me tell the world 'bout me
Ask your girl about me, she probably tell you that I
Put it down!
Put it down!
You know how I put it down!

He would have loved it, how
I put it down!
