Diggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, it's Diggy
Queens, you with me?
Yeah, let's get it, let's get it

Uh, check my million dollar swag
I tell 'em 10-4 cause they wanna copy that, uh
In the mall, lotta shopping bags
Baby girl, what you want? Your boy got the tab

If ya man say, "Where you at?"
I'ma tell 'em, "I ain't seen her"
Better hit her on tje jag
She's gone for the evening

I make 'em lean back Don Cartagena
Yeah, you know what's up Martin, Tommy, Gina
I'ma leader like Derek Jeter, they copy my demeanor
I'd be jocking I know they're watching, they act like I don't see 'em

I'll never stop
Keep me on the job and they be tryna
Copy and paste me, copy and paste me
I'm on and I be in my zone and they be tryna
Copy and paste me, copy and paste me
I'm gone

My shoe game look here I'm rockin 'em
Moccasins or go Jeremy Scott on 'em
Louboutin look like they got spots on it
My ratings up cause everybody watching it

I be V.I.P., you on line where the rope is
Don't come any closer, you might step on my cultures
Ladies it's your jam leave you jacket on the sofa
Have a little class, put your glass up on the coaster

Get it on the floor shake it
Shake it like you're supposed to
If you know getting over
Tell 'em copy, copy, over

I'll never stop
Keep me on the job and they be tryna
Copy and paste me, copy and paste me
I'm on and I be in my zone and they be tryna
Copy and paste me, copy and paste me
I'm gone

Copy, paste
Copy, copy, paste
Everything that I do, they tryna do the same
(The same thing)

Copy, paste
Copy, copy, paste
Tryna do it how I do it, they can't do it like me
(Do it like me)
Copy paste, copy, copy, paste, copy, copy, paste
Copy, copy, copy





Copy, copy, paste
Copy, copy, paste

Overall Meaning

In the intro to "Copy Paste", Diggy establishes himself as a leader among his peers in Queens with swag worth millions. He refers to himself as "10-4" - an affirmative radio code meaning "okay" - because people want to copy him. In the mall, Diggy has numerous shopping bags and offers to cover the expenses of a female companion's purchase. He also sends a message to anyone looking for the woman he is with, saying he hasn't seen her and she is probably gone for the evening. Diggy compares himself to famous characters from the 90s (Martin, Tommy, and Gina) and sports icons (Derek Jeter) to solidify his status as a leader. Although he recognizes that others are watching him and copying him, he sees himself as being in his own zone and unstoppable. The repetition of the phrase "copy and paste" throughout the chorus emphasizes the concept of people imitating him but never reaching his level of success.


Diggy emphasizes his impeccable style and footwear game in the second verse, mentioning shoes from Louboutin and Jeremy Scott. He is always a guest at the VIP section of clubs where he can maintain his cultivated image and not have to interact with "line people" who aren't on his level. He shows disdain for those who might step on his shoes or disrespect his accomplishments by calling the people who are dancing next to him "copycats." The phrase "copy, copy, paste" in the bridge of the song reinforces the idea that people are not just imitating Diggy's image and style but also trying to replicate his career and moves in the music industry.
