Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that We goin up
Bitch I got them bands
I throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that we goin up
Took her to the pad
And she wanna smash
Yuh
Then we run it back
Pressure in my mind yuh
Pressure in my bag
I been In the lab yuh
I been moving fast
I go hit the road
And I bring that pressure
Love how she waking me up
love how I'm facing the blunt
I'm racing to chase what I want
Rock bathing apes
On my font
That pressure
Will make ya shit rock
I got shit on lock
Lockdown Antetokounmpo
Rock out
They turn my tunes up
Talk down
Might bring my troop up
Watch me move the rock from the rock
Like I'm Tua
With my ride or die yeah
Know I'm with my shooter
And it ain't no lie yuh
Know we cook that
Fire up
If you got bands then
Throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that We goin up
Bitch I got them bands
I throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that we goin up
Yeah
Took her to the pad
And she wanna smash
Yuh
Then we run it back
Pressure in my mind yuh
Pressure in my bag
I been In the lab yuh
I been moving fast
I go hit the road
And I bring that pressure
Versace my bitch
Versace my chick
Pull up to the club
And they take some flics
Dommy one of one
Y'all can't copy this
I just blew some funds
Copped some sloppy drip
Been so undefeated
Since I known my meaning
Kill off all my demons
Good dope got me feigning
Watch me how I rock
Man they can't believe it
And I got the secret
And I can't be beaten
If you got bands then
Throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that We goin up
Bitch I got them bands
I throw em up
Plug got that pressure
You know that we goin up
Yeah
Took her to the pad
And she wanna smash
Yuh
Then we run it back
Pressure in my mind yuh
Pressure in my bag
I been In the lab yuh
I been moving fast
I go hit the road
And I bring that pressure
