Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, hold up, wow
Going hard and this is what you get
Yeah, hold up, wow
Used to ask my momma for the whip
Yeah, hold up, wow
Now I'm presidential in the six
Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
Yeah, hold up, hold up, roll up
I'mma need that light
Like right when I show up
None light when I pour
Drinking Doc Brown on ice 'til I throw up
They say I gotta dumb it down
Nah, I wouldn't do it for a hunned thou'
I don't need a deal, need a house in the
Hills with a walk-in closet you can run in
Wow matter fact run it now
I 'member when I used to get declined, oh
Used to hit the lows on the weekend
Now I'm making bitches hit the high notes
They say I'm going off the deep end
I'm in the i8 feelin' aight, though
Do I got some bitches that I fuck? Yeah
Do I got some bitches that I like? No
People said I wouldn't amount to shit
Yeah, hold up, wow
Going hard and this is what you get

Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
I'm just tryna make a play
Whole team on the floor, can't guard 'em
Not there but you know I'm on the way
Five G's too low, that's a bargain
I'm a stones stove from the stardom
I been globetrotting like Harlem
In the UK throwing money on the stage
Pretty young thang
You're a step back like Harden
Yea, I'm burning loud, blow it by the pound
That's that sound
Got a vulture mouth, floating on the clouds
Back back down shots like a chopper
Put a hunned pounds 'front ya mouth
Bitch, I run the town, yeah, I shut it down
Wow
People said I wouldn't amount to shit
Yeah, hold up, wow
Going hard and this is what you get
Yeah, hold up, wow
Used to ask my momma for the whip

Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
Yeah, hold up, wow yeah, hold up, wow
