Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitch, you know I'm balling, why you keep on calling me?
All this money on me look like I just hit the lottery
I know that she like me and I think she want to swallow me
In the mall, bitch, I go Chris Paul
I been front line, shawty, yes, I'm riding with my dogs
She like to drip like me so lil' one what I call her
Put that shit on and take it off, shawty
Look for all of them, all black fashion
My bitch drippin' just like a witch, black magic
Chrome hearts all through my crib, bitch, I'm having this
Yes, you already know that I'm geeked, why you asking me?
I been off the porch, lil' bitch, I'm clutching on my 40
I ain't have no silver spoon, got it up out the streets, I forked it
She just tryna get some money out of me unfortunately
'Cause I ain't paying for no lil' bitch that ain't even worth shit
Hey bitch, you know I'm balling, why you keep on calling me?
