Henny
French Montana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never know why I left you standing in the rain
I never know why I left you standing in the rain
I never know why I left you standing in the rain
I never know why I left you standing in the rain

Hook:
I'm anywhere the dope go (dope go)
With my Henny and my 44 (44)
Wit' your shorty on my land line (land line)
I'm on the money every damn time (damn time)
(Repeat)

Verse 1:
Weed out the jar, with the window down
And the ashes blow in back from the car, dog
Way before Lupe, pal was a superstar
I'm in the kitchen squarin' up like a shooting guard (Swish)
I play like I can lose it all
With everything I gain, nigga I just suit and ball
Like the G.O.A.T., change the dollars for the corners
Right on top of the backboard, got it if you ask for it
Through the task force, no tax for it
Got 'em for the low, you can catch the Macs for it
I ain't hustle by choice nigga I had to do it
Streets was cool 'fore they put the rap to it

Hook:
I'm anywhere the dope go (dope go)
With my Henny and my 44 (44)
Wit' your shorty on my land line (land line)
I'm on the money every damn time (damn time)
(Repeat)

Verse 2:
They told me Hip-Hop dead, so late night
I'm at the cemetary diggin' his grave out
These old niggaz washed up, played out
Whip with no top, ballin' with the brains out
I ain't the illest, but niggaz gotta feel us
Buttersoft, you can't brush us off
I'll turn your switch off, homie lights out
Bring out your candles, whip like sandals
No top, PeteyRowe locked
A new blood, young nigga with old gwop
We did drunk in the Rover, dunk
Leave you in your driveway slumped
Fight, lose security to ER and we are
THe R-U-L to the E-R (S)
It's Montana, bitch (ahh)

Hook:
I'm anywhere the dope go (dope go)
With my Henny and my 44 (44)
Wit' your shorty on my land line (land line)




I'm on the money every damn time (damn time)
(Repeat)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Henny And My 44" by French Montana Feat. Max B express a mix of emotions and experiences related to the artist's life in the streets, his success in the rap game, and his dedication to his craft.


The repetition of the line "I never know why I left you standing in the rain" suggests a sense of regret and confusion about past actions. This could symbolize a feeling of leaving someone or something behind in search of personal success, without fully understanding the consequences of those choices.


The hook of the song highlights the artist's lifestyle, as he mentions being wherever the drugs are ("anywhere the dope go"), accompanied by his trusty bottle of Henny cognac and his .44 caliber firearm. These elements represent the gritty and dangerous reality of the streets, which the artist navigates daily.


The first verse mentions smoking weed and driving with the window down, symbolizing a carefree and rebellious attitude. The lyrics also reference the artist's early days in the rap industry, before achieving fame and fortune. He compares his mindset to that of a basketball player, ready to shoot and score. The mention of Lupe suggests a comparison with another rapper who gained mainstream success, implying that the artist was already established in the game before that.


In the second verse, the artist addresses critics who claim that hip-hop is dead and that older rappers are washed up. He asserts his own relevance in the industry, boasting about his flashy lifestyle and disregard for the opinions of others. The lyrics also mention the artist's ability to turn off lights and his unpredictable behavior, confirming his reputation as someone not to be taken lightly.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of pride, determination, and defiance. French Montana and Max B paint a picture of their lives on the streets, their rise to success, and their relentless pursuit of money and recognition. Despite the regret hinted at in the refrain, the song ultimately captures the artist's unapologetic and unrelenting demeanor in the rap game.
