Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ayy, Heavy, turn the beat up, though)
I had a million bitches hatin′, said I wouldn't make it
But look at me now, yeah (Look at me)
Wasn′t in the limelight back then, but niggas been bookin' me now
Wrist wasn't lit, but come look at it now (Look at me now)
Bitch, I′m exclusive, no basics allowed (Nah, nah)
Put me up on IG just to look at me now (Look at me now)
Bitch, look at me now (Yeah)
Look at me now, yeah (Look at me)
Tell that lil′ bitch to come look at me now, uh (Look at me now)
Look at me now (Yeah)
Tell that hatin'-ass ho to come look at me now, ayy (Look at me now)
Look at me now, ayy (Look at me)
Tell that lil′ bitch to come look at me now, ayy (Look at me now)
Look at me now, yeah (Look at me now, ayy)
Tell that lil' bitch to come look at me now
I don′t ever say that I'm up next
′Cause they time up and my time now (On God)
I give a fuck about next month or like next year
I want it right now (Right now)
Rolex don't tick, Patek on my wrist
Lil' bitch, I′m iced out (Ice, ice)
Bitch say she want beef
That′s sweet 'cause all of my niggas gon′ slide down (On gang)
Look at me (Look at me), blew me a bag just in Louis V
Blue face the bread, but the money ain't new to me
Bitch, you a capper, you broke, you ain′t foolin' me
Schoolin′ these bitches, no tickets for truancy (No truancy)
Blew like twenty-four bands on a trip (Kobe)
Pink slip, bitch, this a brand new Benz (Skrrt)
I ain't gotta talk, I'm a bad-ass bitch (I′m bad)
Old ho mad ′cause I'm damn near rich
I′m on
I ain't tryna talk, don′t answer my phone
Still payin' off chains, lil′ nigga, you broke
No plain jane, ice match my Roll'
Drop whatever on a ho and get the motherfucker blown (Ice)
Blue bands only, and a bitch ain't Crip, yeah (No Crip)
New coupe, I got it, ayy, drop-top my whip, let′s go (No ceiling)
I had a million bitches hatin′, said I wouldn't make it
But look at me now, yeah (Look at me)
Wasn′t in the limelight back then, but niggas been bookin' me now
Wrist wasn′t lit, but come look at it now (Look at me now)
Bitch, I'm exclusive, no basics allowed (Nah, nah)
Bitch wanna go, I got smoke by the pound
Put me up on IG just to look at me now (Look at me now)
Bitch, look at me now (Yeah)
Look at me now, yeah (Look at me)
Tell that lil′ bitch to come look at me now, uh (Look at me now)
Look at me now (Yeah)
Tell that hatin'-ass ho to come look at me now, ayy (Look at me now)
Look at me now, ayy (Look at me)
Tell that lil' bitch to come look at me now, ayy (Look at me now)
Look at me now, yeah (Look at me now, ayy)
Tell that lil′ bitch to come look at me now

She has a very high ceiling, a lot of talent. I like the attitude and being from Wisco. Just found her, but I'll be paying attention.
