Lil Baby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm like fuck a Maserati, bought my bitch a Bentley truck
G-5 my blood brother he be throwing B's up
And me I got Chanel swag you know I be C'd up
I paid cash for every car, used be the laughing stock
Kept it real, that's why I don't flock
Look at me I'm on the chart
I don't look down but I'm on top
Play with me you gon' get shot, for real
Now they can't resist us, hear 'em tryna diss us
Really need to miss us, probably with your bitch bruh
I bought her a Porsche, off a piece of my endorsement
Richer than my classmates, she know how my kids taste
Now I'm on this cash race, I can't come in last place
I done finally went legit, accountants, I'm a taxpayer
So you know that mean I'm going hard 'til my last day
Still can get a thousand pounds a week, the gas way
I got six watches, I'm ahead of time
I'm going all out if it's 'bout mine
I'm getting my shine on, I been on my grind
Feel like I'm different, I'm one of a kind
Buy her a Birkin bag, keep her up to par
Baby, you look better naked, you should take it off
Had to play my role, now I'm taking charge
Just got off parole, make the brodie take the charge
Bendin' through in that Phantom with them sticks, yeah
All these blues niggas asking am I Crip yet?
Make a move we X you out, ain't going tic tac
Put a tag on yo toe for all that chit chat
The richest nigga in my city, that's a big fact
And we don't do them lil' planes, we on the big jet
My dawg still moving that 'caine, and he ain't quit yet
I had to tell him when he came, don't bring no bricks back
Feel like I'm the chosen one
Rolls truck I ordered one
I ain't mean to buy that bitch a watch but I bought her one
Richard Millie cost a quarter milli I got more than one
FN on me lighter than a bitch feel like a water gun
I got six watches I'm ahead of time
I'm going all out if it's 'bout mine
I'm getting my shine on, I been on my grind
Feel like I'm different, I'm one of a kind
Buy her a Birkin bag, keep her up to par
Baby, you look better naked, you should take it off
Had to play my role, now I'm taking charge
Just got off parole, make the brodie take the charge
Livin' like a pornstar
Rolex filled with pointers
Opps finna join us but we ain't switching sides
Neck look like a freezer ain't saving no skeezer
They gave me a reason now they gotta die
I don't want no smoke with you if you don't want no smoke with me
But dawg if you want smoke with me, we switching shifts sleep and creep
I did what they couldn't do, guess that's why they mad at me
But what's up with yo vibe dawg? Why she keep on adding me?
This my strategy
Keep on stackin' G's
Make 'em proud of me
I went Prada tee
I went Prada jeans
I went Prada fleece
I'm from poverty
Real talk
I got six watches I'm ahead of time
I'm going all out if it's 'bout mine
I'm getting my shine on, I been on my grind
Feel like I'm different, I'm one of a kind
Buy her a Birkin bag, keep her up to par
Baby, you look better naked, you should take it off
Had to play my role, now I'm taking charge
Just got off parole, make the brodie take the charge
