Gucci Mane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I first started back in 1995
I wasn't moving keys I was buying 1.5
I started comin up junkies recognized my face
Payed a quarter million dollars just to beat a murder case

When I first started back in 1995
I wasn't moving keys I was buying 1.5
I started comin up junkies recognized my face
Payed a quarter million dollars just to beat a murder case

When I first started back in 1995
I wasn't moving keys I was buying 1.5
I started comin' up junkies recognized my face
Payed a quarter million dollars just to beat a murder case
They used to run up on me be like Gucci what you know
I told 'em get this glass and get da fuck away from me hoe
And every where I go it became an instant cut
'Cause they knew I had them 20s and dem big fat monkey nuts

Cant be scared of a dog when you come from Monten Park
Shootin' dice and playing cards selling blow all at the park
Had it fresh on yo sister but I used to serv ya momma
Breaking 50s down to dimes was my job for da summer
And my job for the winter cookin bricks all in da kitchen
Junkies dead at the carwash cause I heard dat dey was snitchin'
Dope jumpin' out da gym man it helped me buy my tims
Dope fiend willy used to finger fuck my rims
Smokers didn't know my name so they used to call me black
If ya beat me for a twenty betcha ima call you back
She on da dope mans dick 'cause I'm a nigga with a sack
I'm the hustler of the year and I know that for a fact

When I first started back in 1995
I wasn't moving keys I was buying 1.5
I started comin' up junkies recognized my face
Payed a quarter million dollars just to beat a murder case
They used to run up on me be like Gucci what you know

I told 'em get this glass and get da fuck away from me hoe
And every where I go it became an instant cut
'Cause they knew I had them 20s and dem big fat monkey nuts

Prices so low that they call me thrift store
Standing at the store while I'm selling yayo
Bought a brick yesterday gotta four way to go
On the five way everything gotta go
Fifty on the table hundred on da floor
Middle of da summer but I'ma make it snow
Like a chia pet my money gone grow
Still servin niggas through my burglar bar door
Jordans jeans and a little afro
8 ball jacket and a pair of stash slips
I don't give credit that's how a nigga get killed
And if you got a tilt ya car get peelt
17 going to da 559
Like a blind man I don't see know lines
Thirteen when a nigga did his first crime
Eighteen when a nigga bought his first nine
Lyin' I'm frying and I sure aint flying
Cookin' up dope cause the Jays keep buyin'
Robbing crew lurking I know they trying
Try Gucci man they ass be dying
Let me take you back in time
Let Gucci man refresh your mind
I'ma dope boy stay on my grind
A good plug is so hard to finddd

When I first started back in 1995
I wasn't moving keys I was buying 1.5
I started comin' up junkies recognized my face
Payed a quarter million dollars just to beat a murder case
They used to run up on me be like Gucci what you know
I told 'em get this glass and get da fuck away from me hoe




And every where I go it became an instant cut
'Cause they knew I had them 20s and dem big fat monkey nuts
