Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She be doing anything and everything for me like Klondike
Motherfucker better get right
I'm just gonna work and work until I'm shining up into the limelight
For the one night
She be doing anything and everything for me like Klondike
Motherfucker better get right
I'm just gonna work and work until I'm shining up into the limelight
Gotta understand what I'm doing for my fam in the prime time
This a highlight, my life
I'm just wondering how I'm moving in my plan on the sidelines
This misfit sounds kinda different
Keep distance that's just how I feel bitch
Long wishlist on the day of Christmas
But I'm with it better not forget this
Number one that's my placement
Feeling like a star check my pattern through these constellations
Got 80 on my bracelet
Cruising like a giant I'm the Victor of this situation
All I do is win call me Khalid
Listen to my lyrics you can hear that I'm valid
Many styles you can hear that I'm balanced
Call me bob ross but my flows are the palette
That's a benefit
Bitch I got the elements
Put my pinky out while I'm sipping I got etiquette
Feeling venomous
Scheming on my nemesis
Gold around my neck Like Olympic medalist
Here's the definite
Classy like the president
Bitches wanna share me like a stock I'm a settlement
This ain't relevant
Coming with the negative
Wanting all my eggs so I call her Benedict
I do this easily
Easy like ABC
Bitch I'm a different breed
They call me JCG
I do this easily
Easy like ABC
Bitch I'm a different breed
THEY CALL ME JCG
For the one night
She be doing anything and everything for me like Klondike
Motherfucker better get right
I'm just gonna work and work until I'm shining up into the limelight
For the one night
She be doing anything and everything for me like Klondike
Motherfucker better get right
I'm just gonna work and work until I'm shining up into the limelight
