Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay I came and did it solo, let my music do the talking in the promo
You know I got more music on my phone than I got photos
And I better get a chunk full of change, I'm done doing it pro bono
And I promise I ain't really with the gimmicks I'm in it
I been traveling so much they'd think I'm moving my pivot
Used to open up the shows now they letting me finish
And god damn it that's a hell of a feeling
I got more liquor in my cup than I got soda
My homies in to it, I'm feeling it
If let me get a minute
And I hope what I'm saying ain't to repetitive
Man you the one I'm checkin' I'm like 1-2
Okay I'm chillin by the fire eating fondue
Okay well just in, this is just in
I'm about to throw a party right now just us two
Okay if I threw a party for two, yeah let me tell you what I'd do
I'd send an invite with your name on it
Straight out the heart I ain't writing game on it
So go tell your friends that you can't come
You got plans with the real one
Aye, okay now if I threw a party for two
Straight up, yeah you would be my plus 1
I know your mom hate me, dad too
But they don't gotta know about it when you come through
