Celebration
French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never chase the money let the money come to me
One night and she ain′t trynna leave
Look at what the game done to me
Fo-five that's by my side
Down to ride my niggas holdin′ me down
Few bottles, few hoes, and me
But nigga ain't no heart in me
I'm sipping on codeine
White ghost so clean
White hoes OD′ing
Got the hood on lean
Still dippin′ in that 'lac
Grippin′ on that strap
Sipping on that yak
Pimpin' and I rap
You niggas got that bad batch
One leg you half-assed
Coke Boys that anthrax
Shotta boy, Mad Max
Hoppin′ out like there it go
Bad bitch her head low
Mansion on her earlobe
Head dumb, weirdo
Purple drank I stay high
Through the lane like A.I
Ballin' like Isaiah
Bad Boy no way out
Three hoes from Creole
Only like my P.O
Ray Bans on my eye
Coke Boy ′till I die
My niggas on it
Pistol on me
Fuck nigga this your issue homie
All this drama on my brain
Lawyer about one hundred
This that shit that come with the game
Homies see the B's on the trunk
Count money in the meantime
Young nigga paid attention to them street signs
Couple homies screaming East Side
Two lanes bet the money come on each side
Coke flipping on these lames bout that stunt
Pulling fifty every month
Get your feelings hurt
Windows cracked roll slow up on a chump
Nigga know them Coke Boys
Niggas got that work
In "Celebration", French Montana raps about his success and his trials and tribulations that come with it. The lyrics "Make money live comfortably, Never chase the money let the money come to me" suggest a philosophy of financial planning and abundance. He acknowledges the temptations that come with fame, especially with the line "One night and she ain't trynna leave, Look at what the game done to me". French Montana also boasts about his tough persona and his team's unwavering support with "Fo-five that's by my side, Down to ride my niggas holdin' me down". In the chorus, he declares that he's a "Coke Boy 'till I die", which refers to the name he has given to his crew and a label he founded.
The second verse continues with his drug-fueled lavish lifestyle. He mentions sipping on codeine, which is a potent opioid, and the white hoes OD'ing, which is a nod to the ill-effects of addiction. His mentions of a mansion on her earlobe and Purple drank, which is a type of cough syrup containing promethazine and codeine, also reiterate his luxurious indulgences. Yet he asserts his street cred with lines like "Coke Boys that anthrax, Shotta boy, Mad Max", and "Niggas got that work", which speak of his involvement in drug dealing and violence.

Coke flipping on these lames bout that stunt
We are selling cocaine to people who are showing off and trying to prove something
Pulling fifty every month
We earn $50,000 every month from selling drugs
Get your feelings hurt
You will be emotionally injured if you mess with us
Windows cracked roll slow up on a chump
We approach our targets slowly, with the car windows rolled down to intimidate them
Nigga know them Coke Boys
People in our community know us as the Coke Boys who sell drugs
Niggas got that work
We have high-quality drugs to sell to our customers
