Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
I know we just signed a deal but
I need my advance on the next one too, they know I'mma be around
Yea
I need it

'Cause I got a really big team
And they need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team

I got a really big team
They need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team

Man what a time
to be alive
You and yours
vs. Me and mine
Are we talkin' teams?
Are we talkin' teams?
Oh you switchin' sides?
Wanna come with me?
Look at the smile on me
look at the owl on me
I do not chase girls
but they run a mile for me
Say she gon' ride for me
I'll buy the tires for you
This game is different, you only get one shot when niggas gon' foul on you
Man fuck 'em all
man we want it all
Don't get too involved
we gon' knock you off
And to top it all
I'm with all the dawgs
It's a new season
and we still breathin'

And I got a really big team
And they need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team

I got a really big team
They need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team

Man what a time
to be alive
I'm drinkin' lean
they thought I died
I run with kidnappers
I'm talkin' 'bout kidnappers
I'm talkin' 'bout murderin' niggas
I'm talkin' 'bout carjackers
You just a battle rapper
I'm an official trapper
Niggas be droppin' subliminals nigga
they're just some jibber jabber
We take a Mellow Yellow
then fill it with red forever-ever
These niggas is jealous, jealous
Man these niggas is scared, they tellin'-tellin'
I fuck a chick up every day
I bought some ice when the feds came
I bought that big new Celine, I got some rings, I got racks like Serena
All of my rings Aquafina, my bitch Aquafina
Pluto and Jupiter, I go to Venus
Fresh out the store but I'm not out the cleaners
Who keepin' score 'cause these niggas, they losin'

'Cause I got a really big team
And they need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team

I got a really big team
They need some really big rings
They need some really nice things
Better be comin' with no strings
Better be comin' with no strings
We need some really nice things
We need some really big rings
I got a really big team





Man what a time
