Lakeyah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ayy, Don D, you a fool for this one)
I said all the time I had to give fucks
I just spent that on a Rollie (Ice)
Real bitches break bread with me
I break bread with homies (Thatβ€²s cold)
You ain't gotta ask β€²bout this shit, nigga, it's on me (On God)
I ain't never need nobody, built this by my lonely (Facts)
Loyalty over everything, bitch, including me (Yeah)
Yeah, a Birkin bagβ€²s fifty, but the loyalty is free
I was gettinβ€² game way before Coach K
Now he throwin' so much at me and Iβ€²m gettin' it from Pee
Ayy, new AP, I had to bust that bitch
Plain jane shittinβ€² on 'em, had to flush that shit
Ainβ€²t nobody open doors, had to rush that shit
Middle finger to them hoes, screamin' fuck that bitch
Yeah, QC on my chain, that's all me
If you say Lakeyah Danaee, bitch, itβ€²s all heat
Iβ€²m tryna kill these bitches off before the reaper come
You niggas want your bread
Before you ever get to eat you some (Greedy-ass niggas)
I'm in the gym takinβ€² shots like I'm KD (Ballinβ€²)
If a bitch switch teams, I feel like AD
Yeah, can't let no bench-rider play me (Not at all)
Nah, I canβ€²t let no bench-rider play me
Look, never trip, never fold, that's code
Word to my bros, yeah (Word to my niggas)
I can't hate on no bitch thatβ€²s foe
Itβ€²s money first, then come hoes (I ain't worried β€²bout you bitches)
Yeah, that's code
Break bread with them bitches that been there since before (On God)
Ayy, thatβ€²s code
And if you got it, you gon' get it if you with me or alone, nigga
Same bitches from the bottom, probably see β€²em with me (OTA)
I'm a motherfuckin' problem, hoes ainβ€²t fuckinβ€² with me (Not at all)
I'm goinβ€² global, let them little bitches run the city
It's my time, I might go flood me out a Richard Mille
Where itβ€²s at? I'm gear switchinβ€² in the Hellcat
Boss bitch, so I'm wherever all the bands at
I made a bag from my dream and I'm only nineteen
They like, "How you shit on bitches?"
I should sell that (Iβ€²m the youngest goinβ€² in)
I was on my feet, whole twelve, tryna figure out them bills
Workin' overtime, I canβ€²t let 'em see me fail
When Iβ€²m dripped in Louis V the only time I take an L (Only time)
Let your nigga weigh his options and I bet I tip the scale
I'm in the gym takinβ€² shots like I'm KD (Ballin')
If a bitch switch teams, I feel like AD
Yeah, canβ€²t let no bench-rider play me (Not at all)
Nah, I canβ€²t let no bench-rider play me
H Look, never trip, never fold, that's code
Word to my bros, yeah (Word to my niggas)
I canβ€²t hate on no bitch that's foe
Itβ€²s money first, then come hoes (I ain't worried β€²bout you bitches)
Yeah, that's code
Break bread with them bitches that been there since before (On God)
Ayy, that's code
And if you got it, you gonβ€² get it if you with me or alone, nigga




Thatβ€²s code
Don't go against that shit, yeah

She ain't come to play, half these rappers out here can't top the bars she throwin. All they can rap about is how much money they got, how many girls they got, how many APs, designer clothes, and cars they got. But see now, Lakeyah, she gon throw both at you. She'll tell you she got the racks and worked real hard for it in one bar. She'll let you know she went through the real struggle. 😍🀚🏽 Thats all I'ma say doe she went off.
