Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't want they spot
Nigga i fill in

I'm running to get my thrill in
I'm sonning these pussy niggas
I'm coming to make a killing
I'm a problem, niggas know dat
Rock star like jack black, i'm playing like mick jagg
No playing get rich fast then sit back

Niggas rather hate than get in they own bag it's
Funny because i always put money over that mad
Shit tell me tell me What that fuck u gaining from it
Hating while i'm in the club and it's raining money
