Like A G
Kid Ink feat. Travis Porter Lyrics

I'm a tell you what a G told me
I'm going to share what a gangster taught me

Cash rules everything around me
Money is the most powerful thing in the world

Gotta get that dough till there ain't no more
We have to make money until we can't anymore

Gotta stack that dough till ya bank done fold
We must save and accumulate money until we have a lot

I'm a show you what a nigga showed me
I'm going to demonstrate what a fellow African American taught me

Put your middle finger up and scream f*ck the police
We are angry at the police and reject their authority

F*ck smelling good gotta stank on me
I don't care about hygiene, I prioritize other things

F*ck a credit card gotta bank on me
I don't rely on credit, I only use my own money

Yeah (yeah)
Agreement or affirmation

Feelin so good
I feel really great

All the way out the hood
I have left the ghetto

Now I gotta view that can see the whole city
I have a vantage point where I can see the entire city

Swear momma raised her a real go-getter
My mother raised me to be someone who takes initiative and strives to be successful

It'll be okay
Things will turn out alright

Tell 'em that I'm so LA
Let them know that I'm from Los Angeles

West up
A reference to the 'Westside' of Los Angeles

Shoe box money in the dresser
I have a stash of money in my shoe box

Yeah, that's what a G showed me
That's what a gangster taught me

I know you can smell the OG on me
You can tell I have good quality marijuana on me

And Shawty trynna get another drink on me
A woman is trying to get a free drink from me

Anything in the world for free baby
I'll give you anything for free

Just trynna have a fun time
I'm just trying to enjoy myself

Middle finger up to the one time
I'm flipping off the police

Fist to my n*ggas on the front line
I'm giving props to my friends who are fighting for a cause

Shades out, we gon' shine
We're wearing sunglasses and looking cool

See us
Notice us, we're important

Just ball in my sneakas
I'm just hanging out in my sneakers

They ain't gettin money like a pre-nun
They're not making as much money as us

See it goin around, tea cups
People are gossiping and spreading rumors

G thing, Travie got her in her G-string
We're having a good time, and Travis Porter has a woman interested in him

And I could make her sing like T-Pain
I can make her sing like the artist T-Pain

Let me give you the game now
Let me tell you what the situation is really like

Live by the G code
Follow the rules of the gangster lifestyle

On another level get a cheat code
We're doing things differently and finding shortcuts to success

Keep it 100, c note
I always keep it real, and I have a hundred dollar bill

Party everywhere that we go
We have a good time everywhere we go

Oh uh alright
Agreement, affirmation

Bat gang, up all night
My gang is working hard all night

Nigh night night
A variation of the phrase 'night night', meaning goodnight or goodbye

See, everything ain't what it seem, but
Things are not always as they appear, however
