Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't tryna
I ain't- hold up
I know I’ve been
I’ve been on your mind
You’ve been asking me some questions taking up my time
I leave you on read but all this while you tell your boys that I reply
I wonder why you feel you have to lie
You be like

What it do
How you do
In the middle of the night
Tryna pick my mind
It ain’t even right
You’re just a dumb nigga
Scrub nigga
You can’t waste my time
Got audacity saying without me you can’t sleep at night
You know I’ve been there
Done that
(You know nothing bout this queen shit)
Look now
It’s on me
(On some other level drip shit)
Big boss
Ballin
(You know nothing about this queen shit)
Look now
It’s on me
(On some other level drip shit)
You see me out
I’m with my crew
So I ain’t tryna think about you no no
(I ain’t tryna)
The way I move
Shit I’m a mood
So I ain’t tryna think about you no no
(I ain’t tryna)
Coz you seem so uptight
That is not my type and
I think you crazy tryna blow my mind
So get a clue
I’m over you
So I ain’t tryna think about you
I’m a whole damn mood
I ain't tryna
You call me up
A quarter past 3
Talking big, you always talking like you run the streets
Thinking you’re the
The only nigga with the key to my sheets coz you pulled up that one time in a Jeep
Nigga please
Come down off your high horse
Wonder what you’re doing
What you’re doing that’s for grown folk
And I will never be your side show
Miss me with that side show mess
Now you stressed
I will never settle
You know I’ve been there
Done that
(You know nothing bout this queen shit)
Look now
It’s on me
(On some other level drip shit)
Big boss
Ballin
(You know nothing about this queen shit)
Look now
It’s on me
(On some other level drip shit)
You see me out
I’m with my crew
So I ain’t tryna think about you no no
(I ain’t tryna)
The way I move
Shit I’m a mood
So I ain’t tryna think about you no no
(I ain’t tryna)
Coz you seem so uptight
That is not my type and
I think you crazy tryna blow my mind
So get a clue
I’m over you
So I ain’t tryna think about you
I’m a whole damn mood
Said I ain't tryna think about you
Ooh
Mood
I'm a whole

So I ain’t tryna think about you
I’m a whole damn mood

Curious about your actions
