French Montana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
All about the mula, all about the mula
Word to the bird, I ain't never take her fur shoppin'

Runnin' through them keys way before Khaled
Runnin' with the pushas way before Malice
Word to the five, I'm the one like four minus
Caught her off the rebound, Ben Wallace, gave her four dollars
Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, I ain't tryna think
When it get hot, bodies start droppin'
Hit the strip club, told them hoes gon' get the moppin'
Word to Diddy, we Cirocin'
Word to Biggie, we'll be Pac-in'
I just bought Selena's crib, I'm poppin'
I just told Drizzy, "Let me take Serena to the tropics"
Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, I ain't tryna think
Sittin' high, 6 God cover
Tell them hoes get low, 6 God comin'

Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
All about the mula, all about the mula
Word to the bird, I ain't never take her fur shoppin'

Pump, pump, pump it up
She got a good head on her, but I pump it up
I'm not a one hit wonder, they know all my stuff
You let me turn into the nigga that you almost was
I done seen a lot of shit and I done been in things
And I never started nothin', I just finish things
And I'm sell off like the man that brought me in this thing
How you out here celebratin' like the winnin' team?
No, calm down, calm down
Shit ain't how you think it is, take a look around
I'm supposed to be on a vacation right now
But I'm home wildin', word to DJ Khaled
Back with another one
I'm steady droppin' bombs on your head top
Been that way since I could make your bed rock
I'm on Bloor where you can't shop
Bitch I just rapped and it went pop
Next move better than my last move
Your next move can't erase your past moves
Took her out once she got attached to him
Ring, ring, click, I'll get back to 'em
You don't really want the views
You don't want a snapshot of things goin' on with the crew
You don't wanna hear Not Nice did thirteen
And did another two for some other shit he didn't do
Last week, bwoy dem runnin' in the room
This week sold one point two
Yeah, it's a Boucheron baby boy
Yeah, and I know Taraji like I'm baby boy
And I fuck with Weezy and I'm Baby's boy
Yeah we the Army, better yet the Navy, boy

Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, I ain't tryna think
All about the mula, all about the mula
Word to the bird, I ain't never take her fur shoppin'
Sippin' on the drank, sippin' on the drank
Sippin' on the drank, I ain't tryna think
All about the mula, all about the mula
Word to the bird, I ain't never take her fur shoppin'

The birds want rings and tings, you know
But we'll never take the bird shoppin', you know
Still, you already done know




Big up, Six God
Haaaan, skrrt, skrrt!

Overall Meaning

The song “No Shopping” is a collaboration of French Montana and Drake where they refer to drinking and money. The chorus says “Sippin’ on the drank” which is a reference to consuming a codeine-based drink that produces a relaxing and euphoric effect. They sing about their devotion to making money and not wasting it on unnecessary things, “All about the mula, all about the mula, Word to the bird, I ain’t never take her fur shoppin’”. It is evident that they are proud of their success and sing about owning expensive things such as stating that French Montana bought Selena’s crib, and Drake claims to have connections with big names such as Diddy and Biggie as well as mentioning his connection with Serena Williams.


Drake’s verse starts off with the expression “pump it up”, which is a reference to the Joe Budden song titled “Pump it Up” that he freestyles over. He boasts about his accomplishments and mentions the success of the song they worked on together, saying “Bitch, I just rapped and it went pop”. Drake also references Toronto's wealthier neighbourhood, Bloor-Yorkville, and states that he has surpassed his previous letdowns. He then compares himself to others in the music industry because he never started any conflicts, but always finished them. In the last few lines of his verse, Drake references the Boucheron chain that he gifted to Nicki Minaj in 2015. The song ends with French Montana and Drake repeating the chorus, as well as French Montana saying "skrrt skrirt", which is an allusion to the sound of a car's tires squealing.
