THIS IS MY YEAR
DJ Khaled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Another one (see what can happen when we all get together?)
DJ Khaled (yeah)
I swear this is my year (yeah)
I like good girls in Louis Vuitton gear (yeah)
I like bad bitches, extended long hair (come on)
And she like Raf Simons (like Raf Simons)
And her ass different, look, my cash different
I'm gettin' money on purpose, you got it by accident (that's right)
Black on black big bodies, all back to back with it (oh, you see it)
Poppin' Percs like three times a week, hangin' with my savages, yeah (woo)
And yeah, I pour up (woo), bought me a redeye (redeye), just to do donuts
On God, they don't want smoke with us, they just might fold up
They never noticed us, I had to show up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah)
Look, that Double R with us (let's go)
You know the stars with us (on this side)
Heard they on demon time (yeah)
We got Allah with us
Armed and dangerous, yeah (we from New York, motherfuckers)
Do not play with us, yeah
They can't bang with us (yeah, they can't bang with us)
They labeled us murderers, I hang with the worst of them
When I bust, you just move
You feisty, baby (come on), but that's how I like you, baby (yeah)
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah (she like you)
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah (yeah, she loves us)
When I bust, you just move (move)
You feisty, baby, but that's how I like you, baby (come on)
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah (ayo, she frontin')
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah (ayo, let's go, Sean)
Look (look)
B's and M's is what I came to touch (yeah, touch)
She woke me up to head, it made me blush, damn (damn)
Dodgin' all the shots they aimed at us
Armed and dangerous, losin' team, ain't no way that's us (no way, no way)
Mama worked two jobs at once for half her life (half her life, half her life)
She prayed to God and I was the reply (blessed)
This that hard work, dedication, shit you can't deny (yes)
I'm my only enemy, if I don't win, it's self-sabotage (that's on me, yeah)
Bitch, I'm in the zone and it's a warzone (doot-doot-doot)
I'm in control, ball in my court, even in courtrooms
You chase lil' hoes that chase money that chase me (what?)
While I'm goin' over blueprints in the motherfuckin' boardroom (ayo, bitch, we gettin' money over here)
And she know it's no strings attached when we fly private
There and back, and her base private and I like that (yeah)
Brightest energy, my soul sing Cece Winans on the track (track)
Me and Khaled, we go back, but we ain't never goin' back
Don't get confused (we ain't never going back)
When I bust, you just move (move)
You feisty, baby, but that's how I like you, baby
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah (yeah)
When I bust, you just move (move)
You feisty, baby, but that's how I like you, baby
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah (ayo, Rozay, talk to 'em) (M-Maybach Music)
Straight drop dead, Len Bias (that's right)
My trap spot straight fire (come on)
Runnin' through the courts, made it playin' like a sport (huh)
Set the streets on fire, left it burnin' like a torch (take that)
All I want is two-doors, gave the charges to the boys
Now I'm bigger than the blogs, now the topic on the Forbes (woo, come on)
Catch a fed charge, now we pardoned by the laws
Niggas better stay in line or I'ma sit 'em in the morgue (come on)
Heaven on earth, half a million on a watch (watch)
Three bands on a sweater just to let a nigga watch (boss)
Nigga wanna ride the wave, so I let him hold the yacht
Cuban links for the team, double M on the lock (double M)
305 the code if you wanna get a block
You can send it Bitcoin, time to triple it with stocks (that's right)
All eyes on me, you niggas livin' in a box (huh)
Got the haters leavin' comments while I'm really sendin' shots (biggest)
Ayo, I told y'all the first motherfuckin' time
I was never gon' stop, yeah (love, love in the sky)
Ten years from now it's but that (as I kiss your bitch goodnight)
Was thirty fucking years ago, motherfuckers
Get used to it, like the fuckin' air you breathe
The first shall be last and the last shall be first (love, love in the sky)
Black motherfuckin' rich shit (as I kiss your bitch goodnight)
Ownership shit
Godly shit (when I bust, you just move)
Yeah, as we proceed to give you what you need
Come on, man, we wasn't talkin' shit
What the fuck you thought? (When I bust, you just move)
We here
Y'all motherfuckers actin' like y'all got amnesia or somethin'
The truth will set you free
The truth will set you free, son
Ayo, I put this thing together
Me, that's who
Me, I put this thing together, me, that's who (me, that's who)
When I bust, you just move
You feisty, baby, but that's how I like you, baby
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah
When I bust, you just move
You feisty, baby, but that's how I like you, baby
Rock Amiri like me, I'm rich, don't know if she really like me, yeah
Oh, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah

The opening lines emphasize unity and collaboration, suggesting that when people come together, great things can happen. DJ Khaled declares that this year is his time to shine, expressing his belief that he will achieve greatness. He appreciates both good girls who exude elegance in expensive Louis Vuitton clothing and bad girls with long hair, displaying his diverse tastes. He further mentions his preference for designer Raf Simons and highlights the change in his partner's behavior and appearance since he started earning more money.
DJ Khaled continues to boast about his financial success, stating that he purposely makes money while others stumble upon it by accident.

He implies that they are a force to be reckoned with and that they are armed and dangerous. He asserts that they are not to be taken lightly and that their opponents would be wise to fold under their pressure. Mentioning Allah, he suggests that they have a higher power guiding and protecting them.
Moving to the second verse, DJ Khaled focuses on relationships and the dynamics between himself and his romantic interests.
