Lil Tecca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ayy, my side on me
Keep my blue by my side and my green by my side
(Perfect) yeah, (we love you, Tecca)
I, I really can't tell the difference

She be all up in my business
Yeah, we could put 'em on the hit-list (yeah, yeah)
Tryna run with the sauce I invented
We could put 'em on the hit-list

Got my team by my side, team by my side
Pull up, ayy, movin' out of line, get done up, yeah
Gotta keep my blue by my side and my green by my side
You wan' run up, might fuck around and get done up, yeah, oh yeah
They see me, I don't say nothin' (nothin'), all a sudden it's applausin' (yeah)
You know I'ma be unbothered, 'cause I know that they be talkin'
Smokin' dope with my amigos (migo), I ain't talkin' 'bout no Offset (off)
I grew up and get the Air One (yeah), nigga, you can get the ball bag (oh)
Choices that you made in high school, that shit put you so off-track (track)
When I'm talkin' to my shawty, yeah, she know better not to talk back
But I'ma make sure that I'm good (good), we never gon' be understood ('stood)
And I'ma make sure that I would, just tryna get you 'cause I should (should)
