J.PERIOD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bro this a hard song
They hang around like they lynched
Nigga no marShawn
Niggas work a 9-5
And I’m only part time
Guns are drawn
I guess this an art crime
Cruisin down the 91 one
Like
I’m the only one
Bump my own shit
Cause
I’m the only one
I’m just kidding
I’m just really spittin
And my fit is knitted
Gotta blast in the 67
Nigga fuck a ticket
My girl is a cancer
But she ain’t sick
She the shit
Im the light
I’m just wait for the switch
Like we on a pick and roll
On the roll
On my freeway
Niggas the toll
Got the gas
We just stoppin at the speedway
Let the screenplay
Run this shit like a relay
We at the trap house
Bitch we open on the weekdays
Bitch I’m bout business
I don’t even need a briefcase
Got hella options
Like the menu at a cheesecake
If it don’t make money then It don’t make sense
I said fuck the 50
She came along for the ride
And now she screaming yippee
I keep my ball on a string
So don’t try to rip me
I got the k from my jeweler
Now she tryna kiss me
Revolutionary
Bitch my name da vinci
Jeans they are skinny
Can barely hold the 50s
Threw parties just like the sixties
So I got the whiskey
Now we feeling tipsey
She’s said let’s get busy
Nigga stop the cap rap,
Never rock wear a SnapBack
Posted 24 hours
Just like a snapchat
Tried to test my patience
Bitch I ain’t a lab rat
Drip when I walk
Bitch I need a bath Matt
Reload the clip
That bitch said snap snap
Should I get the t bird
Or should grab the Cadillac
I don’t really know what should I take today
I don’t really know what should I take today
I’m back on bullshit
Niggas get the full clip
Niggas fuck around
Now they crying in the pull pit
Nigga you should cool It
Shoulda never pulled It
Now we in court
Tryna see how they gone rule It
Bitch I grind
Tech deck
And I’m tryna make a check
Captain of this ship,
Get these niggas off the deck
This the real game,
Y’all niggas playing rec
Niggas bite my style
Nigga I don’t even peck
Put em on spot
Didn’t even make a speck
Niggas got served
But I’m winning all the sets
These niggas soft, fucking these gentlemen
Cant me where It hurts, that the adrenaline
I don’t count losses I count Benjamin’s
And I’ve been too nice , way too genuine
Have mercy on me 50 pop where the many men
Hoppin on this shit make me feel like a kid again
Nigga get the cottenelle
Let them know I’m the shit again

He dismisses those who imitate his style and boasts about his success, counting Benjamin Franklin on his journey to accumulate wealth.
