Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yuh, yuh
Whoa
Ka$h
I’m on my way up, I been buildin’ my legacy
Shawty just wanna do more drugs, get more high than we’ll ever be
I got her fallin’ in love now, said I’m all that she’ll ever need
Poured up a four of the hi-tech, while she sippin’ the Hennessy
Girl take my hand and just follow me

I hear the money it’s callin’ me
These niggas scared like it’s Halloween
Lil shawty said she want all of me
Sayin’ she’ll never forget me, I guess I’m in her memory
I wanna show you the world girl, take you places you never seen
I know she love me she’ll never leave
Lil shawty feelin’ my energy
We rollin’ blunts of the evergreen
Niggas they can’t hide they jealousy
Rockin’ the $3,000 jeans
Spent even more on accessories
She fell in love, right at my show
She off the Julio and the snow
Girl I got bread, a lotta dough
She wanna make a lil video
Bitch I been ballin’ I feel like I’m Iverson
Can’t take a L, I’m number one
My choppa loaded it got a drum
Lil shawty want me to stay but I gotta run
I got options, so I choose em
My hoes love me, so I can’t lose em
If he run up, then we shoot him
I’m with that bitch in the Maybach
I knew lil shawty since way back
I’m glowin’ up and they hate that
I might just go get some face tats
Turn this shit up where the bass at
She give me top while I lay back
Say you got money it ain’t facts
Shawty in love she can’t fake that
Alla these niggas been coppin’ they jewelry off Amazon
I got that lil bitch all up in my bed and I swear to God she ain’t got nothin’ on
We just been sippin’ the Hennessy all night, now she wanna take off her thong
Man I just dropped a QB in the double cup, swear to God that I’m really gone
I’m wakin’ up it’s another day
Shawty got cake like she Sommer Ray
Poured up a four in the lemonade
Bitch I been ballin’ I feel like I’m Michael Jordan
Shawty know I’m important
Whippin the brand new Mercedes this shit imported
My choppa fully loaded
Blowin' a band up in Saks 5th
Droppin' a rack on a bad bitch
I get a check and I cash it
Run up on me I put you in a casket
I gotta do this shit all alone,
Even though niggas they pray on my downfall, I’ma stay in the studio
I’m on my way up, I been buildin’ my legacy
Shawty just wanna do more drugs, get more high than we’ll ever be
I got her fallin’ in love now, said I’m all that she’ll ever need
Poured up a four of the hi-tech, while she sippin’ the Hennessy
Girl take my hand and just follow me
I hear the money it’s callin’ me
These niggas scared like it’s Halloween
Lil shawty said she want all of me

Sayin’ she’ll never forget me, I guess I’m in her memory
I wanna show you the world girl, take you places you never seen
