Double A.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
They know that I'm done
Hot n' spicy like a seasonal vet
I'm making you sweat
Always move in silence they don't know what's coming next
Never know what to expect
Stop for the pictures in posing a threat
You holding a tech I ain't got a vest
Make an impression, I leave you impressed
Gave it my all I won't settle for less
By sunset I settle the cheque
Sign on the line, I finesse
I never stress, nigga I'm blessed
This is as good as it gets
You in your feelings I got you upset
Swim with the sharks and the sink out of depth
Swim with the fishes instead
Never lose sleep
Never put passion to bed
Sending the shots, straight to the head
Either the Henny or be the led
Niggas be chasing the dough, I'm making the bread
Nigga you heard what I said
Success is the sweetest revenge
I'm over the top,
Pushing you over the edge
Flowing non stop, now they in love with the kid
Coz he just do what he did
Now tell em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
They know that I'm done
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Back in the spot with the same crew
Making moves, you never knew
How I'm living, it's very true
I just do what I gotta do
By daylight, I've settled the check
Sign on the line and finesse
I am never stressed
Coz this ain't good as it gets
Donny command
Army and band
Wrist on my hand
Ain't been a Patek yet
Also but I ain't been having debts
Ain't gonna settle with jammin
Jet
Leave the clothes on the mannequin
Ain't my size
Can't recreate my vibe
Copy and I have to change your life
Ain't on the daily but know the flavour Sprite
That's just what I like
Not bein lame when I say you ain't my type
I just don't have the time
Don't need awards
Doing it all for the fam
Ain't on no Xannies, coz I be woke understand
Don't need applause
Ovation stand
Coz I did what I did and you buried your face in the gram
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
They know that I'm done
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Back in the spot with the same crew
Making moves
You never knew
How I'm living
It's very true
I just do what I gotta do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Do what I do
Back in the spot with the same crew
Making moves, you never knew
How I'm living, it's very true
I just do what I gotta do
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Tell 'em I'm done
Now tell 'em I'm done
Back in the spot with the same crew
Making moves, you never knew
How I'm living, it's very true
I just do what I gotta do
