French Montana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, when it's real, only money change
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much drip (drip), too much clout (clout)
Too much sauce
Haan, ay

I be foolin' with my hooligans that Ruger bought (bought)
Big rocks, spaceship, superstars (star)
Actin' like they want smoke, we got hookah bars (bars)
Actin' like he movin' pills, couldn't hoop at all (all)
Standin' on sofas, diamonds like chandeliers ('lier)
And she on X like Trisha from the Cavaliers ('lier)
Slaughter victims, water whippin', they tatted tears (tear)
Fuck the system, ice be drippin', I'm debonair
I told 'em from the door, I'm good with the dope (dope)
They was talkin' fast (fast), I was baking slow (slow)
Niggas made it rain (rain), Montana made it snow (snow)
I'm talkin' wooden grain (grain), on my Pimp C flow, haan

Ay, when it's real, only money change (change)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)
Too much juice (juice), too much sauce (sauce)

From the block to them hills, man what the fuck they thought?
Got a big money scheme, we ain't ever gettin' caught (caught)
Right behind me is a slammer and the big boy Phantom (Phantom)

You love your baby mama (what?), you'll never let her go (Montana)

Overall Meaning

In "Juice," French Montana talks about how money changes people. When something is genuine or authentic, only money can corrupt its real essence. The 'juice' and the 'sauce' attributed to himself and his associates represent a sense of power, influence, and riches, which he emphasizes through the repetition of the phrase. French Montana also delivers a warning as he outlines the different ways in which an individual may pretend to be genuine while attempting to scam you for your money. He reinforces the importance of being vigilant as well as maintaining a low profile to avoid scammers, standing up to them, and not letting them take advantage.

In the lyrics, French Montana talks about living a lavish lifestyle with his 'hooligans' and flaunts their success with big rocks, spaceships, and indulging in drugs. He also refers to the toughness associated with them having 'Ruger' guns, which are notorious for their historic popularity in street culture. French Montana also denounces individuals who engage in fraudulent businesses and instead, encourages real hustlers who proceed cautiously and make money quickly.
