Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make that money, I'm in control
A man's cool if I'm in town
Don't need no one to hold me down
I keeps it moving 'cause that's just me
I'm complicated, sleep don't come easy
And everything I got, yeah, I worked for it
Ladies, if you understand just where I'm coming from?
From the BK to Hollywood, come on
If you doing you then ain't a damn thing wrong
Come on, come on sing this song
Fellas, if you hear me and you handling your biz?
From your suit and tie down to your Tims
Feel this all my women sing this
Don't stop, ladies bringing the heat
You hot, get up, get on your feet
Won't stop being independent
If you feel me, ladies say, 'Yeah'
Don't stop, fellas bringing the heat
You hot, single sexy and free
Won't stop being independent
Fellas if you hear us say 'Don't Stop'
Got no worries 'cause I'm blessed
And where I'm from I don't forget
Stay focused and I don't look back
I pay my dues and I earn respect
I've been broken, I've been down
Yeah, I'm from the hood but I made it out
I always knew at the end of the day
It be me myself and God
Ladies, if you understand just where I'm coming from?
From the BK to Hollywood come on
If you doing you then ain't a damn thing wrong
