Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jag har vart i situationer jag löste dom med finnes
Jag brukar jobba bäst under press
Jag trött på din energi, jag less ja
Jag är energidriven som en Tesla
Jag har det lilla extra
Lägger några tusen på en väska

Shoppar på en tisdag, kn*llar upp butiken

CC drippin′, Hennesy sippin', I ain′t trippin'
Jag har på nya YSL skor akta vart du askar
Jag och mina vänner switch lanes on a hater
You know i got passion for fashion
Det svart på vitt Michael Jackson
Vänta let em know now

Im all about the satisfaction
Imenella live by the action
You know this, (mhmm)
Aldrig har jag haft nånting
Men jag e här ändå
Trodde att ni skulle bli av med mig men
Jag e här igen

Vi e inte likadana, jag o du vi olika, (mhmm)
Du kan aldrig vara min man, du har inga ambitioner
Aldrig har jag haft nånting men jag här ändå (ja här ändå)
Jag vet att de inte vill se mig vinna men jag är där ändå (där ändå)
Jag har vart i situationer, jag är klar
Har samma f*ckin' lag, u know dis
Vart var du när ja inte mådde bra
Nu jag mår bra, and u noticed

Lowkey haters
Jag o mina, all about the papers
Gatubarn raised by my neighbours
My neighbourhood, (mhmm)
Stay lit, (mhmm)
Boss as b*tch, (mhmm)
Stick to my crew, min clique, no bullshit
Som en full clip spottar, (mhmm)

Aldrig har jag haft nånting
Men jag e här ändå
Trodde att ni skulle bli av med mig men
Jag e här igen

Vi e inte likadana, jag o du vi olika, (mhmm)
Du kan aldrig vara min man, du har inga ambitioner
