Save Dat Money
Lil Dicky Feat. Rich Homie Quan & Fetty Wap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trap God, and we servin' up the whole world
Ay, where the gold at baby
Ay, where the clothes at baby
Ay, where the dough at baby
And the banger but you know I ain't tryna blow that baby
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
What we do? We gone save that money

Rap game got it all wrong
We ain't 'bout to go and spend money just to flex on her
We ain't really got it like ya'll
I'm the type of motherfucker that'll check the check
Do the math, I ain't never gettin' robbed
Those margaritas not goin' on my card
I ain't 'bout to split a damn thing for convenience sake
I'm at the restaurant workin' that waitress
You ain't heard of lil Dave, or L the Jew biz major
Fuck you know 'bout the world he was raised in?
I've been saving money since the motherfucker 13
I wear the same pair of jeans everyday
Free sale with just homie, two stamps away
Book flight December but I leave in May
Drugs are generic but still work the same
I get login's for Netflix from my cousin Greg

Ay, where the gold at baby
Ay, where the clothes at baby
Ay, where the dough at baby
And the banger but you know I ain't tryna blow that baby
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
What we do? We gone save that money

All of my luggage is Louie V, I swear to God nigga
All of my bitches be scared of me, I put that rod in 'em
All of them bitches actin' thotties, I disregard them
All them bitches actin' holy, ain't got no God in 'em
I can teach a lil nigga somethin', preach
I can take his ass church fresh as hell, no Easter
I can make his ass burp like a baby without no hiccup
I can

Quan what's this have to do with saving money though?
You know what, a full verse would have been to expensive anyways
I think

I ain't parkin' that unless the meter green homie
Hair cut several months in-between homie
Hit the motherfuckin' lights when I leave homie
Single ply TP ass bleed
Air B&B the mother fucker, least I'm never there
I'm not in Cali, why the fuck my company in Delaware?
Happy hour takin' out the chicken, I don't even care
That applies to both dating and wings
Peep matinees phone bill got the motherfuckin' fam on it
401k rollin' over bands on it
Coppin' sweaters in the summer, went and sail on 'em
The fuck you rappers bragging 'bout? You overpaying for it

Ay, where the gold at baby
Ay, where the clothes at baby
Ay, where the dough at baby
And the banger but you know I ain't tryna blow that baby
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
What we do? We gone save that money

I ain't never hit a bar with a cover
Low thread count, hard with the covers
Free trial memberships though
I never join the shits though
Fuck you think this is though?
Frequent flying like a motherfuckin' finch tho
General Tso, half a dozen on the stick
Just so I can whet the appetite of dick
What you talkin' about?
My AC never doing nothing, blow fans
Walgreens card shoppin' all the off brands
Boy go hard when collecting, got Venmo
Save every motherfuckin' roach, tryna smoke
Check the clothes in my drawers, I ain't playin' around
It's LD, lil boy, Mr. Hand-me-down
Dirty drawers gettin' worn, can you blame me now?
You think I got $4.50 up in quarters on me well I fucking don't!

Ay, where the gold at baby
Ay, where the clothes at baby
Ay, where the dough at baby
And the banger but you know I ain't tryna blow that baby
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
Ay, we gon' save that money
What we do? We gone save that money

Everyone these niggas tryna play
And lately I been stackin' up crazy
Stayin' up all about the Ben baby
800k underneath the bed baby

If you at a restaurant and got an iced coffee
And the waiter been refillin' that without a word of caution
And you get your fuckin' bill and you can see 'em double chargin'
For the coffee and you told 'em there's a problem
Sing a long like
Ohh don't double charge for me for that
Don't double charge me, we like
Ohh don't double charge for me for that
Don't do it to yourself
'Cause I might just ask what the ice cube's worth
What the ice cube's worth
That's the only differentiate in making this a non free perk
And I might make work more difficult for you than it need be
So think about it, take a minute let it breathe b
But think about it bro, you saw me get the burger with the bacon on the side
After looking at the price of the side, of just bacon and comparing it
To what the difference in a cheeseburger verse the bacon cheeseburger was in making my decision
I would hate to be the waiter, tryin' to tell me something different
Imma get on Yelp in a minute and review this piece of shit place like only a Kike know how
Unless you take the extra coffee off I might get loud
Unless you, oh, it was just an accident?




You didn't even mean that?
I'm so embarrassed

Mrs. "K" still makes me smile each time. She let them use her house and didn't ask for a single thing other than charitable donations to a good cause on a video she knew could possibly get millions of views. What a legend.

@jordanpost2411

Good cause? You're retarded

@jaydros111

Killing babies. What a great cause.

@AquafinaFlow32

She is wealthy. It costed her nothing.
