French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, turn the lights on
Yeah, turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up
And these nigggas be letting 'em
I crushed them hoes, I never love them hoes
And these niggas be sweating 'em
Cause I run shit like Edgerrin
Or better yet, like Rev and them
And on the bottom of my sneaks they red, man
And I ain't talking 'bout no damn Meth and them
Stay Louboutin and I super grind
VS stones, they super shine
I pop the Perc, I get super high
And I drill your bitch, root canal
I rock Tom Ford, Concords
And I shine on these dime whores
This bitch done bought me a Rolex
And I still ain't got no time for her
These hoes be acting up
These niggas be acting tough
I'm in the Phantom, I'm backing up
And I'm bust down, but I'm strapped as fuck
So hold your horses, Polo horses
Aston Martin, we roll in Royces
Real niggas up in the building
Them hoes choose us, ain't no more choices
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These niggas be letting 'em
These niggas be letting 'em
These niggas be letting 'em
And me, I don't be sweating 'em
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up
See, me, I don't practice much
Gold albums from the word of mouth
Gold bottles in the back of us
These Jones be broke as fuck
Too uptight, they won't open up
She got her arms folded even on the phone
I'm like, what the fuck is she here fo?
These hoes be acting up
These niggas keep wifing up
Please homie, got me cracking up
Never spent one more than a night with her
These hoes be a fucking joke
They'll never say a nigga didn't warn you though
Cause you can hit my phone like four in the morning
And I be like, hah, told you so
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up

And me, I don't be sweating 'em
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up
Big bread we racking up
Straight to the bank, Cee-lo
Cancel that bitch like Nino
Ratchet ass ho, don't play with me
Want to Kobe me, want to Humphrey me
Want to Michael me, Russell me
Take me to the bank and Tiger me
Now these hoes be acting up
These clothes ten stacks and up
These cars 100 racks and up
These drums 100 rounds and up
Bitch, blow me like a trumpet
Twenty thousand on it, hundreds
Fuck it, money, money, money
Money, money, money, ah!
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
These hoes be acting up
And these niggas be letting 'em
These hoes be acting up

Yeah, turn the lights on
Let's shine a light on what's really going on here
These hoes be acting up
These women are behaving badly
And these niggas be letting 'em
And the men are allowing it to happen
I crushed them hoes, I never love them hoes
I use these women for my own pleasure but never form an emotional attachment
Cause I run shit like Edgerrin
I'm in charge, like the football player Edgerrin James
And on the bottom of my sneaks they red, man
My shoes have a red sole, like the designer Christian Louboutin
I pop the Perc, I get super high
I take the prescription drug Percocet to get extremely high
I rock Tom Ford, Concords
I wear designer Tom Ford clothes and Concord brand sneakers
And I shine on these dime whores
I impress these women who are only worth a dime
These hoes be acting up And these nigggas be letting 'em
These women are still misbehaving and the men are still allowing it
I'm in the Phantom, I'm backing up
I'm driving a luxury car, the Rolls Royce Phantom, and reversing it
So hold your horses, Polo horses
Slow down and wait, like the logo for the brand Polo
Aston Martin, we roll in Royces
We ride in luxury cars such as Aston Martin and Rolls Royce
Never spent one more than a night with her
I only have one night stands with these women
They'll never say a nigga didn't warn you though
These women won't be able to say that I didn't warn them about my intentions
Big bread we racking up
We're accumulating a lot of money
Want to Kobe me, want to Humphrey me
These women want to control me, like Kobe Bryant and Humphrey Bogart's female partners had control over their lives
Take me to the bank and Tiger me
Take me to the bank and let me amass wealth, like Tiger Woods' career earnings
These clothes ten stacks and up
These clothes cost at least $10,000
These cars 100 racks and up
These cars cost at least $100,000
Bitch, blow me like a trumpet
Perform oral sex on me
Fuck it, money, money, money
I don't care about anything except for money
