French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But can’t help you drink
See I could take you to the water
But can’t help you drink
Put your head right
The same night
We’re doing everything
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Rich up in that, I triple my net worth
Hopping out the jet, shorty’s got that network
Started from a dollar baking soda wishes
When them hollas hitching niggas turning so religious
Million dollar me is got your baby momma creeping
Money rule her assets, that evil so possessive
Flashing, you know these niggas
Sloppy and they bogus niggas
Pass me with them stories, you ain’t half of what ya ho is
Get down
Break it down
Shorty love
And I break it down
Thicken the water
Blood thicker the water
See I could take you to the water
But can’t help you drink
See I could take you to the water
But can’t help you drink
Put your head right
The same night
We’re doing everything
To not break
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Gotta do it on your own like fucker rings
30 chains on is the cold villas
Stacking money up, I need 4 ceilings
Drinking bottle after bottle, I need 4 kidneys
Stacking hoes up, we need 4 sprinters
Versace shit, Silkk the shocker no limit
From the jump start we them cold killers
And you ain’t never dumb, you got 4 figures
Pray to God never get deported
Baby go and bust it open, let me pay your mortgage
Jewish marble, I ain’t need a carpet
Play the street, I don’t need a office
See I could take you to the water
But can’t help you drink
See I could take you to the water
But can’t help you drink
Put your head right
The same night
We’re doing everything
To not break
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Blood thicker then water
Ayo I got that M and cheese all over her body
Mac & Cheese 3!

Money rule her assets, that evil so possessive
People become obsessed with money and it can lead to bad things
Flashing, you know these niggas

Stop exaggerating and trying to impress me, you're not even close to my level

I'm wearing expensive Versace clothing and channeling the rapper Silkk the Shocker, known for extravagance
From the jump start we them cold killers
We have always been ruthless and efficient since the beginning

Pray to God never get deported
I hope I never have to leave the country and be forced to go back to my home country
Baby go and bust it open, let me pay your mortgage
Woman, dance and show off your body, and I'll give you enough money to pay your mortgage
Jewish marble, I ain’t need a carpet
I have expensive Jewish marble floors, I don't need a carpet
Play the street, I don’t need a office

Ayo I got that M and cheese all over her body
I have money and success, which has attracted a woman who is covered in tattoos
