Like That
Janelle de la Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I want it I just throw it in the bag
Got my commas in the bank and that's facts
That's facts
They mad
'Cause they can't put it down like that
They been hating 'cause I'm moving too fast
Roll up in my new whip paid it all cash
Like that, like that
Pulling up like what's up
I got something in my cup
Came from nothing now I'm stuntin'
Baby that's a glow-up
VIP that's my scene
Rims on the limousine
I'm a DIY fiend
That's why they mad at me
First they hate me then they love me
I just sit back 'cause it's funny
'Cause there is no one above me
Gotta give it to 'em bluntly
They just do it for the money, ha
I just do it 'cause I love it, yeah
That's my name on the checks
Icy on my neck
Pay me some respect
'Cause you know I'm the best
I do it like that
If I want it I just throw it in the bag
Got my commas in the bank and that's facts
That's facts
They mad
'Cause they can't put it down like that
They been hating 'cause I'm moving too fast
Roll up in my new whip paid it all cash
All cash
Like that, like that
I'm the name of the game
All you critics sound the same
Always bluffing like you something
But it's only false claims
I just do what I do
I ain't worried 'bout you
Living on my revenue
Honey that's old news
I'm just counting all my blessings
If they jealous, couldn't care less
Make a milli just to de-stress
And I'm fast just like the express
I ain't talking to you unless, uh
You contribute to my success, yeah
That's my name on the checks
Icy on my neck
Pay me some respect
'Cause you know I'm the best
I do it like that
If I want it I just throw it in the bag
Got my commas in the bank and that's facts
That's facts
They mad
'Cause they can't put it down like that
They been hating 'cause I'm moving too fast
Roll up in my new whip paid it all cash
All cash
Like that, like that
That's my name on the checks
Icy on my neck
Pay me some respect
'Cause you know I'm the best
That's my name on the checks
Icy on my neck
Pay me some respect
'Cause you know I'm the best
