Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kick that nigga out and lets begin
Said im only coming out the house for events
Who’s that at the door dont let’s in
Niggas talking slat, we not slat we not friends
You aint got my back, you just see me as an ends
I been waiting patient, i been watching through the fence
Ive been watching through these Cartier Lens
Take a breather
Got the bass bumping out the two seater
Got to thinking bout it dog i don’t need her
Got to “O Ya” she complaining that her knees hurt
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Watchu think of that
You best get good with God now might not make it back
Yeah Yeah Yeah
What you say to that
I got niggas round the way who might just lay you flat
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh and that’s a fact
You was always good at wishing won’t you stay at that
You was always good at bitching won’t you stay at that
Bout my paper and you aint got no say in that
I can tell, you aint sticking round till we win
Kick that nigga out and lets begin
Said im only coming out the house for events
Who’s that at the door dont let’s in
Niggas talking slat, we not slat we not friends
You aint got my back, you just see me as an ends
I been waiting patient, i been watching through the fence
Ive been watching through these Cartier Lens
Try and ride my wave you needa big boat
Can’t keep nothing in my pockets full of bank notes
I ain’t lost taking off like Speedboat
Sauce dripping off me like Rain coat
Run they mouth like they tryna be on Ted talk
Hate my phone only on it yeah when Ben talk
Yeah spend the money watch them hoes flock
Yeah high when I be out do the space walk
Pull up to the scene that’s where the action at
See my energy but they ain’t matching that
A lot of talking barely action yeah imagine that
Bout my paper and you ain’t got no say in that
I can tell, you aint sticking round till we win
Kick that nigga out and lets begin
Said im only coming out the house for events
Who’s that at the door dont let’s in
Niggas talking slat, we not slat we not friends
You aint got my back, you just see me as an ends
I been waiting patient, i been watching through the fence
Ive been watching through these Cartier Lens

Pause and relax for a moment
Got the bass bumping out the two seater
The powerful bass is resonating from my car
Got to thinking bout it dog i don’t need her
After reflecting on it, I realize I don't need her
Got to “O Ya” she complaining that her knees hurt
Reached a point where she's complaining about her knees hurting
Watchu think of that
What is your opinion on that?

Concerning my money, you don't have any influence over it

Can’t keep nothing in my pockets full of bank notes
I have so much money that my pockets are overflowing with cash
I ain’t lost taking off like Speedboat
I'm not confused; I'm rapidly progressing like a speeding boat
Sauce dripping off me like Rain coat
I exude style and confidence like a raincoat repelling water
Run they mouth like they tryna be on Ted talk
They talk excessively as if they're trying to deliver a TED Talk
Hate my phone only on it yeah when Ben talk
I dislike being on my phone, but I'll use it when Ben calls me
Yeah spend the money watch them hoes flock
When I spend money, I attract attention from women
Yeah high when I be out do the space walk
I enjoy being under the influence when I'm out, feeling like I'm walking in space
Pull up to the scene that’s where the action at
Arrive at the location where all the excitement is happening
See my energy but they ain’t matching that
Others can perceive my enthusiasm, but theirs doesn't compare
A lot of talking barely action yeah imagine that
Many people talk a lot but rarely take action, imagine that
Bout my paper and you ain’t got no say in that
Regarding my money, you have no authority to influence it
