DeJ Loaf was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised on the east side of the city in the Fairview Housing projects. Growing up, she would often listen to music with her parents and grandmother, ranging "from 2Pac to Rakim to Miles Davis." Her father was killed when she was aged 4. A self-described "good kid and a decent student" who mostly kept to herself, she began writing her own original music as early as 9 years old. She graduated high school in 2009, played basketball up to the junior varsity level, and later attended Saginaw Valley State University to study nursing for three semesters before deciding to focus on a full-time music career.

Oh you thought it was a game huh?
You thought I was only in it for the fame huh?
You thought 'Try Me' was the only song I had huh?
Dropped that 'Sell Sole' then that bag dropped
Price, just went up
20 for them shows, add it up
Lace me up
Lace me up
Look, I don't fear shit
I know I'm a big deal
Always had drive, since I was ridin' on that big wheel
I had to make moves
Never could I sit still
A.D.H.D but I ain't never take no fuckin' pills
Monkey see, monkey do
Ain't none of these monkeys real
How the fuck she pull that off
And she still got sex appeal
Gifted, they ain't got my skills
Haters like "how she get on?"
Made the right moves
Ain't suck no 'wooh', I kept my panties on
Where was y'all at
Ain't had no milk to go with our honeycombs
Laughing at my haters like
"Oh shit I hit my funny bone"
Over like Biggie
And see me, I'm like Sean Puffy song
They think this was overnight
See bitter niggas get along
On your fifth mixtape
And ain't nobody heard a song
I know why these niggas mad
'Cause they been grinding wrong
I'm at the dining room table finna dine in
Bosses only
Yeah just me and all my five friends
Get you whacked for some Nike's
Who wear a size 10?
Close your eyes pussy nigga, count to 10
Yeah, nigga count to 10
Look, you ain't shit lil' nigga
You a jive turkey
Make a call at 5:20, gone 5:30
All I know is workie workie, yeah okie dokie
Sippin' bubbly, watching movies starting Eddie Murphy
All niggas do it play
That's that Tyler Perry
Fuck love, fuck February
I'm on the verge, yeah I'll pop your lil' cherry cherry
I'm from the D lions tigers
You know crazy Mary
All my dogs selling dog and that Katy Perry
And I just keep having visions of that cemetery
R.I.P my competition, bitches getting buried
They know I'm hot, they know I'm coming
Man these bitches worried
I can tell you a hater
I can tell you don't wanna break bread and get paper
I can tell niggas temperature
I can tell niggas salty and they vinegar
I say fuck it let's finish here
Remember broke nights
Used to get drunk off that Pinnacle
Liquor deal on the way
I know it 'cause I feel this shit
Speak it to existence
Keep pussies out my peripheral
I'm really bout my money
Baby I ain't trynna get at you
Shopping with no limit
I can't lie this shit terrific
Label me a label man
My taste is so exquisite
I heard all about you
You be snitching you be squealing
I be counting blessings
I be in and out them buildings
I made the right decision, I left niggas in they feelings
You know the world fucked
When niggas cryin' all on Insta
Comment on my pictures niggas really want attention
Hoe that info in her bio, man I'm tired of the fake vixens

Whoa, uh huh

And see that's the thing
And see no this is the thing right here
And see that's the thing
Yeah

One time for the brick man
A shoutout to the person selling cocaine

A shoutout to the person who sells Codeine-based cough syrup mixed with soft drinks

I am in a state of anticipation and excitement
Everybody keep dough round me
Everyone around me has a lot of cash
Everybody love Dej Loaf round me
People around me have deep admiration and respect for me
Down in LA with a freak
I am in Los Angeles with a promiscuous person
She say she that I'm lucky she don't fuck for free
This person claims that I am fortunate that they do not engage in sexual activity without payment
I told her she stuck up, I say shut the fuck up
I called her stuck-up and asked her to be quiet
So sit back relax and roll up a tree
Relax and smoke marijuana

Ridin' round with beams, chewin' on beans

Send beans OT I ain't gotta leave
I can purchase drugs and have them delivered, so I do not need to leave my location
Do everything just to get that cheese

You ain't know a nigga was a drug dealer
You did not know that I sell illegal drugs
You ain't the rap nigga, was a trap nigga
You are not a rapper who also engages in illegal activities
Hustle hard you a come around stacks nigga
Work hard and you will become wealthy eventually
Got everything you need, pull back nigga
I have everything you are looking for; take a step back from your current operation
Know a couple niggas that wealthy off blow
I am friends with people who have become rich from selling cocaine
Ball is the only thing I know, keep a bright iced, fast whips on slow
All I know is how to make money; I wear lots of jewelry and drive expensive cars
Talk lowkey you'ont even gotta know
Speak quietly and people will not know your business
Why come back? You can get it while you can
Why wait when you can have it now?
Lil Newbie and Cuzzo Henry
References to personal friends
Shit got me stressin'
This situation is causing me a lot of stress
By the time they get out, the world might look like
When they are freed from prison, the world will be a vastly different place
I'm so 100, somebody remind me my name is not Benjamin [x3]
I am very genuine and true to myself; a nod to Benjamin Franklin who appears on the $100 bill
I'm so 100, remind what the fuck a 50 is
I am very genuine and true to myself; a jab at $50 bills that are less valuable than $100 bills
