Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comin in', comin' in
Yeah
Yeah

Drip water, always selling seafood
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup
Hit a dealership, said I need two
Booted up, then I had to reboot

Drip water, always selling seafood (selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to recoup)
Hit a dealership, said I need two
Booted up, then I had to reboot

Yeah
Still all in these streets (yeah)
Hella hella dope, this all [lil old me?] (this is lil old me)
Count some racks up, count some double D's (count some double 's)
It's just one of me, motherfuck my enemies
Ball hit (?), just like pot (?) (Just like 2Pac)
I put tattoos on the top (I put t-tattoos on the top)
Very slight, diamond rocks
New Joel's (?), I had to cop (I had to go there)

Drip water, always selling seafood (selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to reboot)
Hit a dealership, said I need two (I needed two)
Booted up, then I had to reboot (I had to reboot)
Drip water, always selling seafood (I selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I hadda recoup (I had to recoup)
Hit a dealership, said I need two (I needed two)
Booted up, then I had to reboot

F-fuckin' up a check on some black dicks
Just took the Grammy's out the Plastic
Shoulda got my first one off the Acid
Still bang my hat on traffic
Sign me up
Sign me up
My shoota in the mirror and he tryna hype me up
And y'all daughters keep on callin' cause my barber line me up
They keep tryna slide me up
They keep tryna slide me up

Drip water, always selling seafood (selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to recoup)
Hit a dealership, said I need two (I need a two piece)
Booted up, then I had to reboot (I had to reboot)
Drip water, always selling seafood (selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to recoup)
Hit a dealership, said I need two (I need a two piece)
Booted up, then I had to reboot

I just got a check and put it all on a pendant
She ain't saks religious (??) that mean she sacrilegious
I ain't got a tenant, tryna let 'em know I'm in it
I been out of town but I'm still throwing digits
RIP my niggas, free my niggas in a gang
I might get a caddy 'cause I like the way I swang (?)
Inside peanut butter outside Plain Jane
I just booted up and then I booted up again

Drip water, always selling seafood (selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to reboot)
Hit a dealership, said I need two (I need a two piece)
Booted up, then I had to reboot
Drip water, always selling seafood (always selling seafood)
Crash a coup, so I had to recoup (I had to recoup)

Hit a dealership, said I need two (I need a two piece)
Booted up, then I had to reboot
