88 Coupes
French Montana Lyrics

Hah!
Starting the song off with an ad-lib

Cuz I don't know what they totin
Unsure of what other people are carrying

You niggas smokin that Lamar Odom
Implied that the others are smoking some powerful drugs

88 coupes like a car lot
Having a total of 88 luxury cars in his collection

I be 88 stars off the floor hop
Enjoying the good life in a penthouse suite

You need the Phantom Rolls
Advocating for the Rolls-Royce Phantom

Flippin work, comin back like Derrick Rose
Making successful drug deals and returning like a basketball star who's recovering from an injury

Don't call me, I'mma call you
Will contact others on his own terms

Sicily, bread, olive oil
Enjoying fine Italian cuisine

Stop beggin nigga I don't owe you
Won't give money to those who ask for it

And once you cross the line nigga I don't know you
If someone does something that goes too far, they will no longer have his recognition

Make about quarter mill a week
Earning $250,000 per week

Man that closet like Fashion Week
Owning so many designer clothes that his closet is like a fashion event

Slingin drugs, dealers got the package
Selling narcotics while his suppliers handle the drugs

I still make Salat 5 times a day
Practicing the Muslim prayer ritual

Tryna send mama to Mecca
Saving money to send his mom on a pilgrimage to Mecca

While a nigga snortin pound with the liquor
While someone else is doing drugs and drinking heavily

Man watch for the stick up, (prrrp)
Advising others to be careful of robberies

G-O-D GOD flow
Believes in a divine power who guides him

Don Juan de Marco, lot like car show
Paying homage to flirtatious movie character Don Juan de Marco and his expensive taste in cars

Feel for ya, nobody to kill for ya
Has empathy, but will not risk his life for anyone

Wanna tell ya story but guys won't bear with you
Others may not want to listen to his past struggles

And nah, I ain't tryna get bread wit you
Doesn't want a business partnership with the listener

So go and tell yo bitch to split the bill wit you
Suggesting that the listener's partner should pay for their own expenses

I'm countin commas, tryna die with honor
Focused on making money and dying with dignity

Turks and Caicos, still smoking marijuana
Enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean while continuing to smoke weed

Corner block cuz yo boy owe us
Patrolling a street corner because someone owes them money

Young boy shooter like Jamal Coffey
Having a young recruit who can shoot well, similar to basketball player Jamal Crawford

Bricks in the basement, givin niggas spaces
Keeping drugs in the basement and pushing competitors out of the market

Clips in the Matrix, slid with the waitress
Equating the world of drug dealing to a sci-fi movie and taking extra care while enacting illegal operations

5 stars tell em, said she 16
Someone boasting about sleeping with an underage girl in a high-end hotel

Nah that's R. Kelly, my niggas war ready
Clarifying that he isn't the one with the underage companion, and his crew is always prepared for a conflict

Gifted and cursed, next step could be the worse
Acknowledging his talents and struggles with illegal activities, unsure what the future holds

Next coupe could be ya hearse
Jokingly implying that his next car acquisition could be a funeral vehicle

Man this shit hard when it hurt though
Acknowledging how difficult it is to live life on the edge

My niggas slingin hard in front of church doors
Dealing drugs in front of a church

Man slingin hard was the first tour
Recalling the early days of his criminal activity

Now it's H. Fraud on a surf board
Spending time with producer Harry Fraud on a tropical beach

I be clean as a whistle
Appearing innocent, despite committing crimes

Team is official
Has professional and reliable drug business associates

Black and white diamonds, all I need is a whistle
Diamonds of every color, but only requires a whistle to control his associates

My weed is the issue
While drugs are problematic, his marijuana usage is causing the most controversy

Now may I proceed to kiss you?
Asking for permission to make a move

They put you where both of yall single men
Implies that the listener is in a bad position

Home-made speaker outta the Pringle can
Using improvised materials to make a speaker

Can't wait to do your thing again
Looking forward to the next time they'll meet up

When they mention your name the bells ring again
Referring to the fame and notoriety of the listener

Gettin that cake, it cause friction
Earning significant amounts of money is causing conflict

They love turn that hate to addiction
Others are envious and becoming obsessed with his lifestyle

Mind thinker but echo prescriptions
Mentally sharp, but still relying on drugs

Up in the presidential suite with a vixen
Romantic encounter in the most lavish hotel suite

A lot of suckers in the bizz
Many people in the music industry are not genuine

Good die young, sucka niggas live
Implying that the good-hearted are more likely to pass away early, while undeserving people continue to live

Quickest way to go, fuckin with the kids
The easiest target for retribution is children

He ain't gon stop til you pluck him with the SIG
An adversary will not stop until he is killed

Lost 100 thou, fuckin with the Knicks
Referring to a huge financial loss caused by supporting the New York Knicks basketball team

Flyin on a brukler, bucket full of bricks
Traveling in a private jet with a load of drugs

Last night club, fuck it, where the bitch
Looking for female companionship after a night of partying

Cuz money in the field but I fuckin with the 6
Getting money from drugs, but also supporting Toronto's 6 area

Words of advice, run through the game
Giving advice about how to survive in the drug business

Niggas know the hood run through my veins
Being deeply connected to his neighborhood and the people in it

Real subtle with great poise
Subtle in his actions, but confident in his abilities

Pure bundles, a straight boy
Handling undiluted drugs, not mixing them with other substances

Smoke loud, make noise
Smoking powerful weed and being loud and confident

Dream Team, Wraith Boys
Elevated group of associates, who travel in Rolls-Royce Wraith models

RIP Darry D and Nutty aka Troy
Paying respects to deceased friends

D block & Coke Boys
Acknowledging the presenter's record label and crew

Pushin
Talking about their illegal activities

Yea
Ad-lib

Uh
Ad-lib

Fuck wit me
Challenging others to be on his level

Harry Fraud's a bad motherfucker
Showing respect for the song's producer

Yea
Ad-lib

Uh
Ad-lib

This shit is stupid
Annoyed with how difficult it is to make money while risking danger
