Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What did you know about 80 jay
Well I know this much
They need a lot of money bad bitch
And that's mine looking like
And now it's diggy
Got the key of the city
You know my...
Turn around and talk biggy
And biggy talk giga
So you can just imagine why you're teaching in my top
Rolling the window my doors open
The summer I pulled up to the light
And I drove out with the number
Day is the umber like michael urb the younger
No preserving my hunger
No they like...
Well I got two... in a couple of months
And the roll was bobby brown and couple of boms
Baby show me love find a couple of...
And my best chris... is this what you want
The moon... only party my back

I'm playing my cards, got a pistol of aces
And this little faces is... traces

The lyrics to the song "88" by Diggy Simmons highlight the young artist's success and hustle to attain wealth and fame in the rap game. The opening lines of the song acknowledge the criticism that Diggy may face from others who doubt his knowledge of the hip-hop legends that preceded him, such as Jay-Z. However, Diggy counters this by asserting that his knowledge of making money and attracting beautiful women is all that matters. He references his family's success and how they are living the lavish life, as he now has the key to the city. The line "Biggy talk giga" could refer to referencing legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, and Bill Gates, emphasizing the range of his cultural references.
Diggy boasts about the cars he drives and the women he attracts with his smooth talk and personal style. He boasts of his success both within the music industry and in other aspects of his life, including hiring chefs and going on shopping sprees. He also touches on the fact that he has been in the rap game since he was just 13 years old and perhaps did not fully comprehend the success and wealth attained at that age.
The chorus of the song repeatedly reinforces the title "88," which is a reference to the year 1988, a time when hip-hop music and culture was rapidly gaining mainstream recognition. The repetition of the number 88 could also represent a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.
Overall, the song "88" is a celebration of wealth, success, and aspirations for the future, with Diggy Simmons unapologetically reiterating his own achievements and ambitions.
