Like, I didn't want the And the fingers don't count
Bitch, I know about you
Hanging with LaQuita brought the hoe up out you
And now you acting like you don't know about it
Look I ain't really tripping, want some more about you
Now wait a minute
Why you snitching when nobody know about it
That's the wrong way to try to go about it
They go take your ass out with no deposit
Now pay attention
And that's the way
Pussy on my hotline, that's the way
Plans on my trap phone that's the way
Numbers in my paper bag, that's the way
She gon' pop bottles, that's fo sho
When we roll up, she roll up, that's fo sho
She love ridin' high, sittin' low, that's fo sho
Don't matter where we go
Fo sho
I know you heard about me
Walk mellow talk mellow, plus I'm quiet as fuck
My exterior composed, but inside I'm a nut
And after drinks and a blunt, I'm redesigning your strut
Got you rewinding and take, wiling and smiling and such
Keep your vagina in touch, dialing my line in a cut
This hydrophonic and got you hot with the bottles and bubs
On top of that, this dick and dollars done got you in love
Now wait a minute
That's the way
Pussy on my hotline, that's the way
Plans on my trap phone, that's the way
Numbers in my paper bag, that's the way
She gon' pop bottles, that's fo sho
When we roll up, she roll up, that's fo sho
She love ridin' high, sittin' low, that's fo sho
Don't matter where we go
Fo sho
Big money, all hunnids
How you want it, we can run it
Ten boppers, they swing
Drop it low, do your thang, do your thang
Big money, all hunnids
How you want it, we can run it
Ten boppers, they swing
Drop it low, do your thang, do your thang
That's the way
Pussy on my hotline, that's the way
Plans on my trap phone that's the way
Numbers in my paper bag, that's the way
She gon' pop bottles, that's fo sho
When we roll up, she roll up, that's fo sho
She love ridin' high, sittin' low, that's fo sho
Don't matter where we go
Fo sho

Though he is aware of her actions, he is not particularly bothered by them and still wishes to pursue her. He describes her as a person who enjoys spending lavishly and loves to βpop bottles.β He also mentions that she is fond of the finer things in life and enjoys to ride in style. In the last part of the song, Jay talks about his extravagant lifestyle, mentioning that he is wealthy and has a lot of money to throw around. He also talks about his ability to attract multiple women.
The lyrics of βThe Waysβ describe a hedonistic and indulgent lifestyle, along with its flaws and superficialities. The song is supposed to be a commentary on the sexually charged and money-driven hip-hop culture that has become prevalent in recent years. The lyrics also depict the singerβs detached attitude towards the woman he is interested in, showing that he views her purely as a means to an end. The song has also gained traction due to its catchy beat and unique production.

@mikeyjames
It was a dope album. The problem is jay rock has 2 different fan bases.This album is closer to being a typical TDE type of album and some of his old fans don't like that. dude has fans that only want him to make hardcore gangsta rap. They want him to make music like his features on YG and game's album. 90059 was nothing like that so those are the people that's disappointed in this album. Out of all the TDE artists, jay rock is in the worst position because he actually has fans that are kendrick fans who like his tracks with a message. Then he has these fans that follow him simply because they know he's a gang member and that's what they want to hear. They want to hear hardcore gangsta rap. It's impossible to please both sets of fans. This is why he's hit or miss with some people. they hear him on YG and Game's album and they check his music because they think he has a full album of that type of music. when they listen to 90059 they notice it's not hardcore gangsta rap so they're Β left disappointed. some people just expect dude to make ratchet music because he's blood. there's people that listen to YG simply because he's blood and make's ratchet music. jay rock is not that type of artist. dude has ratchet verses on other people's albums because that what their fan base is all about. on his own project the content is more like advise from a OG's point of view..

+StillAReal1 I think this album had good balance to it
@ogamizulu9533
+StillAReal1 Very well said. I thought Follow Me Home was banging and it was more hardcore, but an artist has to grow and experiment. 90059 was different than what I expected, but it's smooth and Jay Rock is just one talented muhfucka. He may never "blow up" but I think he can build a loyal fanbase.
@lukejamesbgn
