Get Ready for It
D. Grady Scott Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I count the racks and roll up gas when I feel paranoid
I hit the wood, it hit me back, it's strong like steroids
And I been racing to that cash, no I ain't waiting for it
She keep on asking me for shit, I aint got nothing for ya
You can't compare me to these niggas like a metaphor
Livin' this life it was some shit I wasn't ready for
I left open for too long, I had to close the door
I been in my bag, getting off, I know you notice it
You know these drugs start wearing off I take another hit
My cup getting empty, I keep on taking sips
You know this bag stay dizzy, I always make it flip
I see my brother take a loss, I tell him not to trip
Soon as that money hit my phone, you know I gotta dip
Steady grinding for them nights ain't have a pot to piss
Let's get this shit in motion
I ain't really here for the commotion
Double cup, sipping, while I'm rolling
Good gas, it's potent
Think I lost my glasses in the ocean
Never see me cappin I ain't trolling
Speaking on my gang, know we gotta get up on him
No I'm not a lame, I be really having motion
Bitches all in the backseat, tell em stop posting
Don't really care why you did it, I'm counting racks for the closure
Don't really care how you get it, just bring back what you owe me
Left her house, I was alone, I came back with my homie
She say she don't really know me, I be staying low-key
I'm a hit the road, I might come back with a Rollie
When I'm at the top, don't try to act like you know me
Cuz you don't really know me
You thinking bout the old me
Bitches acting different cuz they see that we growing
Me and Gheezy going back to back, Shaq and Kobe
I swear this life shit hit you hard gotta be ready for it
I count the racks and roll up gas when I feel paranoid
I hit the wood, it hit me back, it's strong like steroids
And I been racing to that cash, no I ain't waiting for it
She keep on asking me for shit, I aint got nothing for ya
You can't compare me to these niggas like a metaphor
Livin' this life it was some shit I wasn't ready for
I left open for too long, I had to close the door
