Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm that nigga on my worst day
I remember struggling in the worst way, yeah
Don't know why these niggas hating in the first place
Spent a hundred thousand on the car and came in first place, yeah
Gave her ten bands for her birthday
Wasn't born with it, had to learn ways
Always knew they was gon' hate me when I got paid, yeah
You know I'm that nigga, it ain't no pretendin'
Niggas always start it but they never finish
I just bought a friend and poured a four up in it
I don't wanna marry, I just wanna hit it
You know they know my name when I walk in
Smokin' on that Cookie, got me coughin'
We'll put your nigga in a coffin
Since I was a youngin, I been ballin'
When I lost my nigga, I start wildin'
You ain't never seen a hundred thousand
Had to stack this money, had to pile it
All these VV's on my neck got me drownin'
You know I'm that nigga on my worst day
I remember struggling in the worst way, yeah
Don't know why these niggas hating in the first place
Spent a hundred thousand on the car and came in first place, yeah
Gave her ten bands for her birthday
Wasn't born with it, had to learn ways
Wasn't in my plans, this what God made
Always knew they was gon' hate me when I got paid, yeah
Lost my nigga and I started wildin'
And I don't wanna hit that puss', that's a lot of mileage
Master P, bitch, yeah we 'bout it, 'bout it
And we was buyin' handguns, now we buyin' rockets
Fifty on the chain, that's some shit you can't afford
Bitches, they gon' call off from they job when you important
Whip came with sport mode so you know I had to floor it
And you should find a way up out these streets 'cause you ain't for 'em
And it ain't nothin' that I'm lyin' 'bout
Post your location on that 'Gram, and bitch, we ridin' out
And he signed up for that job, now he signin' out
SOBxRBE, watch me shout it out
You know I'm that nigga on my worst day
I remember struggling in the worst way, yeah
Don't know why these niggas hating in the first place
Spent a hundred thousand on the car and came in first place, yeah
Gave her ten bands for her birthday
Wasn't born with it, had to learn ways
Wasn't in my plans, this what God made
Always knew they was gon' hate me when I got paid, yeah
All bands when I'm talkin'
Swervin' in that big body Benz, I ain't walkin'
Doin' all that dissin' on the 'net, pick a coffin
All that pillow talkin' on my name, put the jaws in
Bounce out with that K, let it spray, hit the target
New foreign, 2019, I don't park it
Ridin' in a Wraith, look up, see the starts lit
Ain't no talkin', see a sucker, up it, then we spark it, bitch
Go down, we don't say shit
Lovin' on these hoes, fuck around, get your bae hit
Ten bands or better, that's the type of shit we play with
Forty in them K's, them the type of guns we spray with, nigga
You know I'm that nigga on my worst day
I remember struggling in the worst way, yeah
Don't know why these niggas hating in the first place
Spent a hundred thousand on the car and came in first place, yeah
Gave her ten bands for her birthday
Wasn't born with it, had to learn ways
Wasn't in my plans, this what God made
Always knew they was gon' hate me when I got paid, yeah
