Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When she talk she so closed minded
All she want to do is shop she so clothes minded
Wanna cop the latest 'fore them other hoes find it
Material girl yet somehow I don't mind it
Probably cause she so fine it will blow your mind
She black and Pocahontas, laid back and blow that grind
Ass so fat wanna tat my logo on it
So any other nigga that a tap, will know it's mine
I put in work overtime, let me cut mow the lawn
Guarantee I blow your mind
She try to play me til she learned I wrote a rhyme
That's that nigga from the Ville that I heard that Hova signed
The rap form Lebron, "Oh girl that boy the bomb!
No chain around his neck but better watch out for the charm
Your not my daughter um, but you can be my baby
Summertime, wintertime, anytime we looking for them ladies
