They Say
Iamsu! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk with a dip up in my swagger
Can't fuck with you rappers
All you rappers actors
I'm the total package
I'm a cold assassin
Smoke up all the grass and to the left I'm passin'
I just took a shot, I think I went too far
I just popped a bottle I'm still at the bar
I don't pop no molly, left that in '13
Fucking up with checks, just over kicks and jeans
I can't trust these bitches
I can't trust these hoes
Focused on my digits, gotta get my dough
I can't sign that contract
I can't sell my soul
I've been on that road, ten thousand dollar shows
They say we were popping, dipped up in that new shit
Black bandana like 2pac, don't ask me where the juice is
OGs in my city, I respect the movement
All these rappers they ain't near me, imitating Suzy

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ask her if she want to turn up with young Suzy, she say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ask 'em can I bring my whole team in the building, they say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Every time I hit the stage I make a movie, they say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
We all black, and they say

Work stay on my guest list, there's no unemployment
All these hoes for free, they here for your enjoyment
I do this for time, there ain't no need for practice
Once upon a time that hunnids in my mattress
All I do is turn up turn up on my haters
Can't do shit for free I do not fuck with fakes
You ain't help us eat, you can't sit at the table
They say that I'm crazy, they say that I'm unstable
This relation, it all came from grindin'
Cuban bracelet, Cuban linx, change them ? for diamonds
All this damn finessin' just to get this paper
Focused on progression, tryna switch my neighbors

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ask her if she want to turn up with young Suzy, she say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ask 'em can I bring my whole team in the building, they say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Every time I hit the stage I make a movie, they say




Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
We all black, and they say
