Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swimmin' in these bands, bitch, I'm up in the sky
Tryna make my mama proud, but I'm way too high
Beat the game, I got clout, and I got first prize
Sold my soul to get here, see the devil in my eyes
If you try and fuck wit me, I'll put you in the sky
Know they tryna kill me, Imma let 'em try
I just think that it's funny, 'cause they don't know I can't die
Look, hold up
In the morning, I'm waking up
All of these Percs I'm tweaking off
Like a plane, bitch I be taking off
Down a touchdown coach, what's the call?
Run with it, Ion pass the ball
Put you in the sky, wanna see you fall
I'm in the sky, I'm way too high, so you know that I'm going off
That boy is just a player, yea he just a show-off
His bitch up on my dick, she steady blow off
Control her like Black Widow, ain't no Romanoff
Got these bands, I'm racked up, got these racks up in my pants
Like Tetris, bitch I'm stacked up, I get my stacks up in advance
Know he cannot catch us, we move too fast for your mans
Know he wanna try me, but he won't ever get the chance
Sippin' on purple, ain't talking Prince, this ain't no rain dance
Swimmin' in these bands, bitch, I'm up in the sky
Tryna make my mama proud, but I'm way too high
Beat the game, I got clout, and I got first prize
Sold my soul to get here, see the devil in my eyes
If you try and fuck wit me, I'll put you in the sky
Know they tryna kill me, Imma let 'em try
I just think that it's funny, 'cause they don't know I can't die
Like LGBTQ, you can never kill my pride
