Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got alotta shit
Money like I hit the lottery
My neck and wrist froze diamonds watery
Scraping the bowl like it's pottery
Came a long way from the poverty
Came up from kickin' in robberies
To kickin' shit on my own property
I jugg and finesse did it properly

But I had to get right; had to do a lil' wrong
The pot is hot grab the rock with some tongs
Runnin' the game, I feel like Teddy Long
Ain't talking cake, I can't talk to you long
Didn't need no help; did this shit on my own
Now I got mini me's; how many clones
12 keep on watching me; had to switch phones
Kush my cologne
Draped in VLone
My diamonds water; Aquafina
Bitch I'm clean like Stanley Steamer
Blow me like a ocarina
Beat up the pot; Bobby Whitney Ike Tina
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
My diamonds water; Aquafina
Bitch I'm clean like Stanley Steamer
Blow me like a ocarina
Beat up the pot; Bobby Whitney Ike Tina
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
Anything for the dolla
Anything for the guala,
And a young nigga ballin'
Call me D.Rho Iguodala
DRose with the Spalding
Except he a lil' bit taller
Get to the guap; not a staller
Yo plug my number one caller
In love with the money; I love the blue face
I count up a check everyday
Whip futuristic; it's from outer space
Brand new i8; who wanna race
It was tenth grade when I first beat the case
During school in the hallway selling weight
After school sold my old teacher a eighth
I did what it take
Had to graduate
Whip whip, quick flip, no minus
New whip, pink slip, no mileage
Take trips; we dip to the islands
This drip like the tip of a stylus
Dead fresh don't need no stylist
Dead prez and they keep on pilin'
Neck wet and it keep on shinin'
Living the best life that I ever had
Words I be saying make these niggas mad
Fuck what they talkin' bout, I'm in my bag
Streets on lock got the city on smash
Dick in her mouth make that lil' bitch gag
I ain't lettin' up I ain't got time for that
Bases are loaded and I'm up to bat
I'm gettin' noticed; I need me a plaque
Call up my whoadie just to get you whacked
My diamonds water; Aquafina
Bitch I'm clean like Stanley Steamer
Blow me like a ocarina
Beat up the pot; Bobby Whitney Ike Tina
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
My diamonds water; Aquafina
Bitch I'm clean like Stanley Steamer
Blow me like a ocarina
Beat up the pot; Bobby Whitney Ike Tina
Ever since I was a youngin'
Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
Ever since I was a youngin'

Been getting that money
Just check my demeanor
