DaBaby & Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know, when I went out to Ohio, there was like a mini riot
And, you know, we thought it was, like, Michael Jackson, you know?
So we was just looking for the gloves and the two little white kids with the silk wrapped around they face
You know, 'cause the people were just going crazy
They was screaming and, you know, yelling
And I turn around...
