Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, rollin' in Impalas but you too tame
I ain't from the south but I appreciate the wood grain
Neighbor callin' me about the noise it's only two, man
Now I'm in the same building but the view changed
I ain't for the waitin' now
I bought a 'Rari and I did it just to hear the sound
Drive safe really bouta lose all its meaning now
Guess you love to travel when I pull up, man, you're leaving town
Say you're married to the game and I'm just here to burn the gown

I got a flight in the morning
I see what you been tryna do and I'ma mission abort it
You think I never pay attention, in my mind I'm recording
I'm bouta win and ruin all your goals and dreams out of boredom

Ridin' around with homies like we run the city, done it
Lookin' fresh and feelin' like a milli', money
Move in silence you can never hear me comin'
If you got a problem when you see me, run it

Run it
DJ Snake
Rich Brian (whoa)

Bang, yryna show you what we came to do
Boss, only talkin' makin' major moves
Rolls Royce, no top, me
No one will ever stop me
Me against the world, I got my back against the wall (whoa)
Know I'm hell bound (whoa) but I'm well now (whoa)
On the road to riches I could never lay around (whoa)
Told her don't make a sound unless she make it loud
Everybody scream
Everybody scream
Everybody scream
That's my only thing (yes)
I'm a born winner
A Jordan 23 (woo)
All my people G's until the party ceased

Huh (huh, huh)
Huh (huh, huh)
Huh (huh, huh)
Run it





Run it
(Run it)
