Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Damn, damn, ma, we ain't even have to go through it like that
It wasn't even, even that big, man
You know, nah, it's ight though
But anyway, yo, let me get that coat
Let me get those jeans, and let me get that rock on your finger
Oh, it's stuck? Then I'll take the whole finger than, man
Let me get those bags from Paris, and the puppies is staying, yo!
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
Come through the block, in the brand new Benz
Knowing that billionaires do they friends
(OK girl) Yeah, what I did was wack
But you don't get your man back like that
Bouncin' around, when I'm up in these streets
Knowing that billionaires do got beef
(OK girl) Yo, what I did was wack
But you don't get your man back like that, no
[Ghostface Killah]
Hey yo, I should just bark on you, burn your car on you
Cause I'm too much man, to leave a mark on you
You'se a bird you know that, giving that man
Ten points, like he about to blow that
He probably did, you swallow his kids?
In and out of jail, he a snail, he wasn't wilding on bids
In the summertime, I broke his jaw, had to do it, to him
Quick, old fashion, in the back of the mall
Me and him had 'mos forever, like I'm supposed to put him on
When he came home and told on Trevor
Had to bang on homey, ear blocks, out in spots
Throwing them shots, like 'sucker, you know me'
Stop fronting for them people out, side like you really ride
And you a silly chick, thought you was really live
But I guess I was wrong, I'ma holla at dog
And rip his head off, words of a song
[Chorus]
[Ghostface Killah]
Hey yo, I thought we was iller than that, all them kisses
And love yous, when jake came, you hid my packs
It was time a brother went to war, vests banged up
Staining in the kitchen, yo, holding a four
Sweatin' and breathing, bounced out of town for a weekend
Heard you had homey in the passenger seating
Honey, look, I'm a monster don, I do monster things
That's why I put your ass under my arm
Messing with him can bring bodily harm
And where you gonna hide in the streets when the body is gone
If it's one thing I learned that, never trust a female
On no scale, you just confirmed that
Bounce to your momma house, pack your shit
I don't care if you crying, you'se a ruthless chick
Gots to watch you, these eyeballs in my face'll spot you
My girl cousins, they gon' rock you
[Chorus]
[Ne-Yo]
Shorty what is you thinking bout
Didn't I put you down
Flyest whips, rollin' round like yea
That's the bosses chick, on the side
I might of had, one or two
Them silly broads wasn't nothing on you
Rolling with him, tryin' to get revenge
That's what you just don't do
[Chorus]
[Ghostface Killah]
I'm a good dude, you see, yeah,
Females out there that wanna be
Acting like they getting they little revenge off
Taking it further than what it really is
You know what I mean, playing yourself,
No what i mean, this is Don status, girl
You will have to hold that now

Damn, damn, ma, we ain't even have to go through it like that
I regret what happened between us and wish we could've handled it differently
It wasn't even, even that big, man
The argument or issue we had was not that significant
You know, nah, it's ight though
It’s okay, I’ve moved on from this incident
Come through the block, in the brand new Benz
I'm living a luxurious life and showing off my success with this new car
Knowing that billionaires do they friends
I'm aware that wealthy people prioritize their friendships and use their money to keep those bonds strong
Yeah, what I did was wack
But you don't get your man back like that
I know my behavior was wrong, but seeking revenge won't bring back what was lost
Bouncin' around, when I'm up in these streets
Knowing that billionaires do got beef
I'm cautious when I'm in the streets since rich people often have enemies and must be aware of potential danger
Yo, what I did was wack
But you don't get your man back like that, no
I admit that my actions were disrespectful, but retaliating in a similar way is not the solution
Hey yo, I should just bark on you, burn your car on you
I am tempted to express my anger towards you with violence and destruction
Cause I'm too much man, to leave a mark on you
I am too mature to physically hurt you, regardless of my anger
You'se a bird you know that, giving that man
Ten points, like he about to blow that
You're a disloyal person who gave information to someone who could cause trouble for me or those around me
He probably did, you swallow his kids?
It's possible that you had a sexual relationship with this man and even had his children
In and out of jail, he a snail, he wasn't wilding on bids
This person went in and out of prison frequently and wasn’t respected by other inmates
In the summertime, I broke his jaw, had to do it, to him
I physically assaulted this person in the past and feel justified in doing so
When he came home and told on Trevor
This person I had issues with told on someone named Trevor, potentially leading to more problems
Shorty what is you thinking bout
Didn't I put you down
I don't understand why you’re thinking about seeking revenge when I treated you so well in the past
Flyest whips, rollin' round like yea
That's the bosses chick, on the side
I was riding in the nicest cars and everyone knew you were my girl, even though I had other women
Rolling with him, tryin' to get revenge
That's what you just don't do
Trying to get revenge only leads to more problems and is not a wise decision
I'm a good dude, you see, yeah,
Females out there that wanna be
I consider myself to be a good person and there are women who want to be with me
Acting like they getting they little revenge off
Taking it further than what it really is
Some women try to seek revenge over minor issues and blow things out of proportion
This is Don status, girl
You will have to hold that now
I am a powerful figure and you'll have to accept that you can't do anything to get back at me

Lol, this exact sentiment will be repeated about music from now in the future
It’s a cycle, every generation thinks they had it best
Pretty sure the generation of the past thought the music from their youth was better than this song too
Ignorant if you stay stuck glorifying the past and not seeing the good shit being made now
Mainstream music now isn’t much to write home about because of the kind of music that is given platforms but generally we are in the golden age of music. Smino just released, Nxworries just released, Mick Jenkins & Earl Sweatshirt dropped solid tapes this year, the list of young artistes experimenting and pushing the standards higher goes on but if you want to stay stuck in the past, nobody can save you
