Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn me up
Lets get it
Lets Go
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch
Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Botta Bing Botta Boom
Look who stepped in the room
Cleaning up shop
Come thru sweeping ya block that mean I'm toting a broom
Big body Chevy look like a space ship I'm parkin that shit on the moon
And this just a fact Everything look better black
We don't do business with coons
You niggas iffy it's a new king in the city
You can take that like Diddy
Shawty got ass and titties throwing me the kitty
I'm only gone fuck if she pretty
All of this Envy over a couple of pennies niggas be watching ya Benjis
He turned to an op
Know that he gotta get dropped
That's an appropriate ending
Got Big stones no flint
Sitting right up under my dick
Aint wasting no time I'm tryna get rich
So why would I give af about a bitch
Same hood same clique
Meanwhile you on the fence
Making yo grandmother proud cuz you nigga love to switch
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
Might as well hit the light switch
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch
Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Bada Boom
Bada Bing
Look who stepped in the ring
Ali shuffle in case a nigga wanna tussle you don't want war with the team
Incredible Hulk cuz I get mad money that's just the way I get green
And all of you actors get a cinematic shot I'm just directing the scene
Look at the screen name buzzing like a nat it's the return of the mack
Hit up the club get to throwing a couple stacks she get to throwing it back
Count up the money dare you try to take it from
We gone treat you like Zombie (Headache)
Lift ya spirit with the Tommy
Then it's a wrap like a mummy
Aye I got the juice It aint a fluke
Shawty got glutes I finna scoop
Bad lil foreign pitching to me knock it out the park babe Ruth
All her bottoms she want em red
All my Dollars I want em blue
Day Shift I'm in a suit
Night shift I'm in the zoo
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
Might as well hit the light switch
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch
Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Hit up the club get to throwing a couple stacks she get to throwing it back
