Kreayshawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got gold bananas engraved
With my grandmothers title signature
What you got?
I got me a bunch of haters,
Got me a bunch of faders
Be like sayonara see ya laterrr
And you bitches can't get none, I'm just so done
Don't say shit though, say you know? No one know you
I'm in your city like a mayor hoe, I lead by example
Your hoe lives by dismantle
Don't tell a soul what we did just keep it stable
I'm dope, you're on dope
Get it?
Run and get the phone and you can't call for better
I was on the phone tellin' bitches that I'm wetter
I killed it once, I killed it twice and no I don't regret it
Chorus:
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
Do just what you do
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
Do just what you do Alright
Lookin to trip, not really just lookin' for clues
I'm so important that one of my shoes is news
Custom perches might make bitches take off their shoes
How could I not, if I didn't then I wouldn't be scott
Broken hearted it slowly rots, I hope she knows that hardees sucks
I'm goin back up, don't summon me again unless your ready for the pain
You better step up, when you see me in the box, believe ib ball mayne
Mags on mags on mags I don't have to push motherfucker who's bad
Don't give a fuck about much, I'm cool and calm just like my dad
Niggas wanna live like us, niggas wanna floss like us
Fuck a bitch good like us, cool the cartier like us
Cruise all night with me, niggas really in Paris
Chorus:
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
Do just what you do
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
What u doin'? Do just what you do
You like it and then you love it Alright
Do just what you do Alright
I be on that power
Maybe on that powder
All these bitches yeah they my bastards
They my bastards
They my bastards
Tell Ron Hubbard 50, I'm like WTF!
Outside raining kitties, my doctor knows what's up!
I be provin' last dance, I'm the only one
In hate sky high shinin' demon like the fuckin' sun
Throw my shades now I'm off on a world tour
Get less but a mind wanna give more
Boom boom for my girls on the dance floor
Pour some for the people, they work hard
Closer than her body, she's throwin a big party
She's inviting Cudi, we beat it 'til it's bloody
[Chorus:]
The lyrics of Kreayshawn feat. Kid Cudi's song Like It Or Love It portray a confident and irreverent attitude. The first verse has Kreayshawn comparing herself to others, boasting about owning strawberry letter 27 and gold bananas engraved with her grandmother's signature. She then asks what her competitors have to offer. In the second verse, she talks about having haters and faders, but she brushes them off with a wave goodbye. She asserts her dominance by saying she is in the city like a "mayor hoe" and leads by example. She then contrasts herself with those who "live by dismantle," telling listeners to keep their secrets safe with her. Kreayshawn finishes with a pun, saying she is dope while everyone else is on dope.
Kid Cudi's verse is about his own importance and mention of his wealth. He says that he is so special that one of his shoes is news, and custom perches could make women take off their shoes. He mentions being broken-hearted, but it doesn't matter because he's still doing well. He states that he is so cool and calm that he is just like his dad, contrasting himself with those who want to live like him. The chorus is an assertion to do whatever you want and love it, staying confident and true to oneself.
Overall, the song is a display of confidence and flippant attitude towards others. Kreayshawn and Kid Cudi both exude a sense of self-importance and success.
