Ask For More
Kevin Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Money hangin' out my jeans
Double cups stay on lean
Bad women all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all I see
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
I'm rockin' designer, relax and reclinin'
Back of the Audi and I got a pilot
Watch me, I'm flyin'
Flyin' so high
The fuck do you mean pussy nigga? Don't ruin my vibe
I'm not comin' down, got my feet off the ground
Elevated my sound, don't hate on me now
This loud got me lost in the clouds
I'm rollin' up another right now
I wonder would she ride for me?
Was she only down if I wasn't free?
If I gotta go then I gotta leave
She can hold the bands and the keys
Hundred thousand what you mean?
Money hangin' out my jeans
Double cups stay on lean
Bad women all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all I see
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
Some want my fetish, money countin'
Most likely need a new account
Seen her a thousand
I just wanna graduate, she can move from 'round me
On my head, think he had a bounty
Call me country, flyest in your county
Call me ugly, I just beat her down
Matchin' luggage, she gon' need a gown
Packin' up and ain't no need to frown
Dice game, roll on the floor
This a gamble you ain't gotta answer
Moment I was broke you were gold
Benz coupe, bet, game over
Long wheel base Range Rover
No tint, still ain't seein' me
CLS, AMG machine
Red wine sippin', blowin' limbs
Planted seeds, now we growin' M's
Camouflage, thermal jama set
On the phone choppin' it with vets
Big booty come and watch a movie
Nah my nigga I ain't wrap her yet
Somebody at my door, I gotta check
And for me the mark, that's a bet
Hundred thousand what you mean?
Money hangin' out my jeans
Double cups stay on lean
Bad women all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all on me
Bright lights all I see
Bright lights all I see
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?

In the first verse, he boasts about having a hundred thousand dollars, which he carries in his jeans. Gates also mentions "double cups" filled with lean and women all over him.

The second verse continues the themes of wealth and luxury, as Gates describes owning an Audi and hiring a pilot, while smoking and listening to his music. He wonders if a woman would truly be loyal to him, and if he leaves her, if she would hold onto his money and keys. Gates then transitions into bragging about his success, mentioning a long list of items like a Benz Coupe, an AMG machine, a Range Rover, and a CLS. He also mentions watching movies with big-booty women and planting seeds that are now growing into millions of dollars. Finally, he brags about his skills as a drug dealer, successfully evading the police with moves like "camouflage, thermal jama set," and "chopping it up with vets."
Line by Line Meaning
Hundred thousand what you mean?
What do you mean by hundred thousand dollars? I have so much money that it's just hanging out of my jeans
Double cups stay on lean
I'm always drinking double cups of lean (codeine/promethazine) to get high
Bad women all on me
I have lots of attractive women who want to be with me
Bright lights all I see
I'm always surrounded by bright lights, probably from being at parties or clubs
How could I ask for more? How could I ask for more?
I have everything I want, so how could I possibly ask for more?
I'm rockin' designer, relax and reclinin'
I'm wearing expensive designer clothes and chilling
Back of the Audi and I got a pilot
I'm sitting in the back of an Audi car, but someone else is driving it
Flyin' so high
I'm really high from the drugs I'm taking
The f*** do you mean pussy n***a? Don't ruin my vibe
Don't ruin my mood or bring me down with your negative attitude
This loud got me lost in the clouds
The weed I'm smoking is making me feel really high and disconnected from reality
I wonder would she ride for me?
I'm questioning whether the women around me would stay loyal and support me
Was she only down if I wasn't free?
I'm wondering if the women around me only want me because of my money and status
Matchin' luggage, she gon' need a gown
I travel with so much expensive luggage that the women around me need to dress up to match it
Packin' up and ain't no need to frown
I'm leaving and there's no need to be sad about it, since I have so much money and success
Benz coupe, bet, game over
I drive a Benz coupe and I'm winning at life
Planted seeds, now we growin' M's
I invested in something that's now making me profits in the millions
Camouflage, thermal jama set
I'm wearing a camouflage outfit with a thermal undershirt
On the phone choppin' it with vets
I'm on the phone talking to veterans about how to make even more money
Big booty come and watch a movie
A woman with a big butt is with me watching a movie
And for me the mark, that's a bet
I'm confident that I'll win whatever bet I make
