MOSTACK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause of the beef, you need some new tings
Gangstas with style, they do the bootings in Louboutins
Pass them the TEC and glove
They just want respect and love
When they jump out the ooh (the ooh)
This ain't no ordinary drive-by
Jumped out the ooh (jumped out the ooh)
Ooh ooh (ooh ooh)

Yo, stand down, stand down (stand down, stand down)
They don't ever want it with the crew when we roll ganged out (ganged out)
Bro came smellin' like ounce
Turn a hundred pound to a hundred thou' (thou')
Hold up (hold up), roll up (roll up)
They don't want it when we roll out (roll out)
Tooled up (tooled up), pulled up (pulled up)
And all they heard was bang-bang, pow-pow
Why so savage? Jumped out the automatic
And let off the automatic
Then he walked off like it was so oh-so average, oh my God

Fuck whoever's in charge (in charge)
I'ma let it ring, just let my ting charge (ting charge)
I had to take your tings dawg
You should have never trust an Arsenal supporter
That still chats to Lingard (uh)

'Cause of the beef, you need some new tings
Gangstas with style, they do the bootings in Louboutins
Pass them the TEC and glove
They just want respect and love
When they jump out the ooh (the ooh)
This ain't no ordinary drive-by
Jumped out the ooh (jumped out the ooh)
Ooh ooh (ooh ooh)

You should know what you're in for
When they pull up in a whip that ain't insured
Man, they just roll up and blaze, streets ain't safe
That ain't no knife, that's a dragon slayer
I'm pissed and in the middle of the streets
Still got a little bit of beef
So much haters just a little bit of tea
Fuck these neeks, bro go ride up in new
And blow them (and blow them)
Blow them guys when you're rollin' (when you're rollin')
Rollin' by in a stolen (stolen)
Stolen ride, just, ch-ch-erm, and drive

Fuck whoever's in charge (in charge)
I'ma let it ring, just let my ting charge (ting charge)
I had to take your tings dawg
You should have never trust an Arsenal supporter
That still chats to Lingard (uh)

'Cause of the beef, you need some new tings
Gangstas with style, they do the bootings in Louboutins
Pass them the TEC and glove
They just want respect and love
When they jump out the ooh (the ooh)
This ain't no ordinary drive-by
Jumped out the ooh (jumped out the ooh)
Ooh ooh (ooh ooh)

When they jump out the ooh (the ooh)
This ain't no ordinary drive-by
Jumped out the ooh (jumped out the ooh)
Ooh ooh (ooh ooh)

I jumped out the ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
