LIONAIRE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These niggas gotta pay me
These niggas gotta pay me
Gimme pounds, gimme dollars, gimme francs
Gimme francs, gimme francs, yeah
Gimme, yeah
Gimme pounds, gimme dollars, gimme francs, yeah
Fuck your sanks 'cause the product is the thang, yeah
Melomaniac, call me Wolfgang, yeah
Used to be a baller but now I wanna bill gate me
Ain't no way around it, sign the check and pay
They really missed my name in every rate
Now they lookin' for my name in every place
These labels won't sign me, man, what a cliché
No discussion, no introduction
My attitude was "fuck it" then I started hustlin'
They used to hate my moves, now they start to love it
And I ain't really got big checks, where the money?
Give me money, you gotta pay me
And all my niggas on the road tryna get it
It's a statement, we got a vision
Did it all by myself, fuck your submissions
Look I got it, you never seen this
Make a nigga disappear like he's bleaching
Shoutout the music industry, I won't change
I got a mic and the internet be afraid
Now I'm in it full time, man, watch me get it
I see these digits, eyelids like franks pictures
Never trusted them niggas 'cause I ain't feelin' niggas
Turn on yo back, wishin' you bad bitch niggas
Give me money, you gotta pay me
And all my niggas on the road tryna get it
Look I got it, you never seen this
Make a nigga disappear like he's bleaching
Shoutout the music industry, I won't change
I got a mic and the internet be afraid
