Big Bank
French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drop a in the fish tank
Got the sharks on lean
Fish scale for my whole team
Big bank take little bank
Drop a in the fish tank
Got the sharks on lean
Fish scale for my whole team
Watch that gonna pull up watch the pogo
Cake my birthday blow them
Candles baby please don't blow my
It's a band aid on your forehead I got people on my
On my pockets said release me to the sky
This is big bank talk make frequent as it is
Swear that money like the chili double hot
Dog tater chip bag
No sir, no shoes, no swag,
I'll get cash, put that title by my name
Hottest lighters I'ma fire plus they gotta aim
I just left the title game
Don't they drove it trying to block me
I'm surrounded by this dollars
Big bank take little bank
Drop a in the fish tank
Got the sharks on lean
Fish scale for my whole team
I say at the Benjamins, pretty swimming in
And they ain't talking money
It's just my women friend
Pull up in the so sexy when the engine rim
It goes wrum, wrum, screw that,
Cost like 7 birds
Cruise me down my swimming in that money
She say she don't like them bros
She in love with money
In the song "Big Bank" by French Montana, the lyrics talk about big banks taking over the smaller banks, dropping a banknote in the fish tank, and got the sharks on lean with fish scales for the whole team. The phrase "Big Bank take Little Bank" is a metaphor for when a large established organization gains a competitive advantage. The lyrics also mention the extravagance of French Montana's lifestyle, with references to birthday celebrations and expensive cars.
The lyrics also feature the phrase "swimming in the money" and "Benjamins" which refer to the American $100 bill with Benjamin Franklin's face on it. The song's theme is about making and spending money while highlighting the importance of being in control of it. The lines "I'm surrounded by these dollars" and "fish scale for my whole team" suggest that Montana is not only making money for himself but also sharing his success with his teammates.
