V12, see ya, 12 (bye)
I do the whole dash with no seatbelt
Screamin', "Free my nigga, Meek Mill"
Niggas can't wheelie in this free world
Meanwhile Georgie Porgie sinnin' and sendin' me threats
Save your breath, you couldn't beat a flight of steps
Try that shit with a grown man
I'll kill that fuckboy with my own hand
And hop back in the coupe (woo, woo)
Let's go back to the mud, I hop right out the suit
Save all that woopty woop
Let's let the money talk, let the Uzi shoot
No jewels in this Patek Philippe
It's complicated, three million apiece
Sheesh, that's how we do time
Dujac by the mag, that's how we do wine
$91,000 for a wine bill
Keep it real with you, that was Juan's bill
My whole team ball
Everybody's a star but the team ball
'61 with the thing off
Me and Blue havin' a sing off
That's a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
That's a vintage piece
Kind that make haters kiss their teeth, you can't buy this new
I had the 'Bach-bach-bach you know how I do
Two-tone with the powder blue (woo)
Realest shit to come out the stu'

I took the top off the Maybach, rrt
I, I took the top off my Maybach, nigga
I took the top off my Maybach

Ridin' 'round town with the FLOTUS
1.5 for the Landaulet
Bey, put these fuckboys on notice (fuckboys on notice)
I'm the only lady here, still the realest nigga in the room
I break the internet, top two and I ain't number two
My body, my ice, my cash, all real, I'm a triple threat
Fuck it up and then leave, come back, fuck it up and leave again
Top off the coupe and it look like Freaknik
In the hood, hollerin', "Free Meek"
Two deep, it's just me and JAY
Just posted in them courtside seats
Woo! I'm like "hol' up"
Woo! I might roll up
If they're tryna party with the queen
They gon' have to sign a non-disclosure, ayy
I took the top off the Maybach, yeah
I took the top off the Maybach (ain't gon' stop)

The opening lyrics of DJ Khaled’s “Top Off” signify his defiance and unwillingness to slow down. He declares that all his statements and promises stay true, and he was not going to give up or slow down. The following lyrics unveil the theme of the song, which is excess, luxury, and opulence. The repetition of “I took the top off the Maybach” conveys Khaled’s pride in his exclusive Maybach car that he pretentiously drives around. Later, he mentions dropping the top off his Maybach and giving police a hard time, praising his great car which he modestly refers to as “2-tone with the powder blue.”
Khaled has also incorporated high-profile features into the song, like Beyoncé who brags about her triple threat capabilities, which encompass a perfect body, ample cash, and a perfect stash of all genuine things. Whereas, Jay-Z comes with the famous phrase "Free Meek," to show his support for Meek Mill, who was then behind bars. The lyrics denotes that the godfather of rap still has a voice and are socially inclined even while he's at the top of the game.
Overall, the song is Khaled’s way of flaunting his wealth and success, complemented by other stars who have earned their place in the music industry. However, it also includes socially and politically active messages that are worth acknowledging, making “Top Off” an intricate blend of opulence and activism.
