Honestly
Juice WRLD & G Herbo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And we sippin' purple nigga, yeah

Honestly (Ayy, Southside, where you get all that drip?)
Honestly
Everything I wanna be
Gotta work 'til it come to me
Ain't wanna be no wannabe
Enemies they under me
Honestly I wanna be
On the beach, white sand up under me
Comfortably (comfortably)
I just want a hunnid G's (hunnid G's) Foreign V's (foreign V's) Louis V (Louis V)
They like, "who is he?"

Honestly when I was broke as fuck, you ain't notice me
You thought days I was posted up at the county jail where I'm 'posed to be
Now young nigga eating overly
I got hunnids old as trees
And money don't grow on trees
But I'm gon' blow it like leaves, ayy
Pull up with turbo V's, ayy
Two-door AMG's, ayy
I started witnessing some of the shit that felt like it was make-believe, ayy
Lil' nigga neck on freeze, ayy
Spent 100 racks on these, ayy
Seen't 'em tryna keep up and then lost everything, I can't let that happen to me, ayy
Feeling alive, I'm so happy to be, ayy
You killing my vibe, fuck how long you bitches you see me
Be happy for me, ayy
I'm fresh all the time, but you know my kicks ain't Buscemi
Capital G Fazos
Nike need me on the payroll
I just took these off a day ago
Killers gon' do what I say so
Angels gon' give you a halo
And we got money to lay low
Now when it come to the bread, I go with it like mayo
Can't let it go to my head
I had way too many days, bro

Honestly
Honestly
Everything I wanna be
Gotta work 'til it come to me
Ain't wanna be no wannabe
Enemies, they under me
Honestly I wanna be
On the beach, white sand up under me
Comfortably (comfortably)
I just want 100 G's (100 G's), foreign V's (foreign V's), Louis V (Louis V)
They like, "who is he?"

I say honestly
I need honesty
Get rich and I make my mama proud of me
A young rich nigga, that's what I'm 'bout to be
Rolling gas, boy, yo shit not loud to me
I'm getting used to the fame, niggas crowding me
I got demons and these niggas brought 'em out of me
I'm on my boss shit, ain't no clowning me
Let's fuck up Saks Fifth, hit the town on me
Me and Herbo pull up in a Bentley coupe
Ain't not telling what we'll say or what we'll do
Smoke Gelato out the zip, feel like jet fuel
We'll never let a fuck nigga know our next move
Run up them big bags, that's what we into
We just some real niggas, look what we been through
I put Gucci on my backpack, but I don't like school
I know you may love me, but bitch I don't like you

Honestly
Honestly
Everything I wanna be
Gotta work 'til it come to me
Ain't wanna be no wannabe
Enemies, they under me
Honestly I wanna be
On the beach, white sand up under me
Comfortably (comfortably)




I just want 100 G's (100 G's), foreign V's (foreign V's), Louis V (Louis V)
They like, "who is he?"

I always look stylish, but I do not wear expensive Buscemi shoes. I wear sneakers from G Fazos with a large G on the side, and Nike should hire me to help design shoes. I recently got new shoes and I have the ability to persuade people and guide them in certain ways, and I have unseen forces on my side. We have plenty of money, so we can lay low and avoid any unwanted attention.


Now when it come to the bread, I go with it like mayo, Can't let it go to my head
When it comes to money and success, I handle it with care and attention, like mayo on a sandwich. I must be sure not to let it make me arrogant or overly confident.

I'm getting used to the fame, niggas crowding me, I got demons and these niggas brought 'em out of me, I'm on my boss shit, ain't no clowning me, Let's fuck up Saks Fifth, hit the town on me
I am starting to acclimate to my newfound fame, even though it brings people who want to get close to me. These people have brought out the inner demons and negative aspects of my personality, but I am still on top of my game and will not be made a fool of. Let's go to Saks Fifth and tear it up on me.


Me and Herbo pull up in a Bentley coupe, Ain't not telling what we'll say or what we'll do, Smoke Gelato out the zip, feel like jet fuel, We'll never let a fuck nigga know our next move
Herbo and I arrive in a Bentley coupe, and we are unpredictable in what we may say or do. We are smoking Gelato from a ziplock bag, and it feels like we are flying at supersonic speed. We will never let anyone who disrespects or undermines us know our next steps and plans.


Run up them big bags, that's what we into, We just some real niggas, look what we been through, I put Gucci on my backpack, but I don't like school, I know you may love me, but bitch I don't like you
We are focused on making a lot of money, and that's our main priority. We are just some genuine and authentic individuals who have been through a lot in our lives. I put a Gucci backpack on, but it does not mean I like going to school. I know you may have affection for me, but I do not reciprocate those feelings.
