MICKEY
Lil Yachty Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

30, you a fool for this one

Trappin' out the backstreet
Runnin' through the packs like a track meet (zoom)
Pull up with two pistols on me, Max P
Back to back to back to trap, we on repeat
Drippin' on these bitches, put a stain on 'em
Lamborghini Aventador, no brain on it

Iced out Patek with the rain on it
Automatic with the scope, range on it

Spent 160, that's two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out
It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse

These niggas hate 'cause I'm too rich
Big carats, same size Cheeze-Its
88 thou' for a new wrist
Peter Piper, pull up with a new pistol
Doors knocked down that's dust crystals
Runnin' to the money like I'm Frank Gore
This ring cost more than a Honda Accord
Fuck with the set then it's over with
Walk in the spot, get it overlit
I want some pussy, she open it
Fuck her one time then I'm over it
These niggas weird and they talk too much
All these new niggas, they socialists
Holding on tight to my bragging rights
I write my name on the mogul list

Spent 160, that's two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out
It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse

Million dollar lick but I missed out
Fell to sleep on the drank, I was pissed off
Got 100 on your hand, hold your wrist out
Hellcat racecar, no pitstop
Had a million dollars cash in my bitch house
Wearin' 20 thousand dollar outfits now
Coupe cars, 160 and I cashed out
Lil' Ski comin' home 'bout to max out
Anything I buy, I'm spending all 20s
100s and 50s goin' to the grave wit' me
I sleep with a chopper and bathe with a glizzy
A nigga try Yachty we shootin' out the city
Ask them other niggas how we got busy
It ain't no sleep 'til we hittin' our victim
Nigga play gangster, but we know they bitches
I'm thinkin' they mad 'cause we fuckin' they bitches

Spent 160, that's on two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check it out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out

It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse

Got 100 on your hand, hold your wrist out

Intending to keep large amounts of money with him even in death

I sleep with a chopper and bathe with a glizzy
Keeping weapons close at all times

A nigga try Yachty we shootin' out the city
Defending himself and his wealth with violence

Ask them other niggas how we got busy
Asking others how he became successful

It ain't no sleep 'til we hittin' our victim
Always working and making money, sometimes through immoral means

Nigga play gangster, but we know they bitches
Calling out other people who pretend to be tough but are actually weak

I'm thinkin' they mad 'cause we fuckin' they bitches
Believing jealousy is the reason for others' animosity
