Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a molly like a million (five point)
My lil' girl like, "What you doin'?" (flash one)
I'm just tryna even tho my eyes (ride)
Sip and sip 'til feel like a God (ride)
You're my cup overflowin' (good, good)
Fucked up and you know it (good, good)
I swear I feel like I'm floatin' (let's ride)
Feel like everybody knows it (ride)
Yeah, I'm up, yeah, I'm up, yeah (yeah!)
Everybody must know it (ooh)
Yeah, I'm up, yeah, I'm up, yeah (yeah, yeah!)
Tell the world, yeah, I'm floatin' (it's lit!)
They ain't think I'd ever go and flex like this
Never had blessings gettin' less to this
My God, I know where the blessing is
Thank God I know where the blessing is (bless up)
Whole squad sending prayers up
Purple drank in my prayer cup
Whole squad sending prayers up
Purple drank in my prayer cup
Whole squad sending prayers up
My God, I know, where the blessing is
Thank God, I know where the blessing is
Yeah!

Smoking loud like to pour lean (pour lean)
Luxury wheels, that you know we in (know we in)
Mama said she wants me in the church (praise God)
Before the day they put me in a hearse (thank God)
But I just feel like God, when I lick it (straight up)
If only God can judge me, then I'm innocent (straight up)
'Cause every time I'm adding up my dividends (yeah!)
At the same time I add my blessings up
Yeah, I'm up, yeah, I'm up, yeah
Everybody must know it
Yeah, I'm up, yeah, I'm up, yeah (yeah!)
Tell the world, yeah, I'm floatin'
They ain't think I'd ever go and flex like this
Never had blessings gettin' less to this
My God, I know where the blessing is
Thank God I know where the blessing is (bless up)
Whole squad sending prayers up
Purple drank in my prayer cup
Whole squad sending prayers up
Purple drank in my prayer cup
Whole squad sending prayers up
My God, I know where the blessing is
Thank God, I know where the blessing is
Straight up, up, alright
Yeah, it's lit

Alright




Straight up, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I'm up, yeah
