All That Talk
Mike. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking at my face, you can tell I meant that shit
Not for bullshit, move around or Imma end that shit
Cha cha in her DMs how I slid in it
Get no time, not a second, not a minute bitch
Walk that walk if you gon' talk that talk
Stay on my grind, no Tony Hawk (Oh oh ok)
Get the dough, but ainβt no one knock
Hit my dance like my name diddy
Fuck the past, Imma get in my bag, man fuck all that, Imma chase a milli
Damn she wild, the way she blew me, gotta grab a jacket, itβs kinda chilly
And she know I love animals, yeah she let me pet the kitty
Turnt up for the city, yeah you know what it do
Man that brain was insane, she donβt know 2 times 2
Zoomin' down 95, damn near took off and flew
Had to keep my seeds watered, look they sprout and they grew
(Man, Mike is all cap)
Ainβt no cap in my rap
I'm not with the friendly shit, this is team only, canβt give you no dap
Thank God for parents, stayed out the streets, no I ainβt have to trap
He sent me down this gift, forever thankful, blessings fell in my lap
Never backtrack, just be smokin' the facts
See the future, I ainβt trippin', see my money thatβs stacked
Never worried about a hoe, just recline and relax
Think long think wrong, you better think 'fore you act
This that menace shit
Looking at my face, you can tell I meant that shit
Not for bullshit, move around or Imma end that shit
Cha cha in her DMs how I slid in it
Get no time, not a second, not a minute bitch
Walk that walk if you gon' talk that talk
Stay on my grind, no Tony Hawk (Oh oh ok)
Get the dough, but ainβt no one knock
Watch ya mouth or Imma hit that milly rock (Oh oh ok)
Laughin' all the time but life ainβt a joke
Itβs funny how niggas flex on a bitch but wonβt help out they folks
Loyal ones stay around me, shit Iβm thankful fa sho
71 cents in the bank, no lie I used to broke
Canβt go back there no mo, nah Iβm really bout to get in it
My words be flowin', my thoughts be rowin' like my brain just got off some river shit
Feeling the energy, headed to my peak like spikes of adrenaline
I donβt have time to digest and get into it
Things gon' change but donβt look at me different
I ainβt praising the pussy no more, hell nah Iβm done with the simping shit
Respect all women, fuck them hoes, kick em out, I be on my pimping shit
No disrespect, you lack intellect
You wonβt get a check, turn around and go kick some bricks
Some gonna get it, others ainβt feeling it
This my life and Iβm just livin' it
Some niggas built like toilets, thinking they the shit, but now they just pissed
Speakin' the facts and thatβs just that, I ainβt got time to drop a diss
No good hearing, Iβm too loud, ask a nigga βYou saying shit?β
CEO, I handle biz
You already know what this shit is
This that menace shit
Looking at my face, you can tell I meant that shit
Not for bullshit, move around or Imma end that shit
Cha cha in her DMs how I slid in it
Get no time, not a second, not a minute bitch
Walk that walk if you gon' talk that talk
Stay on my grind, no Tony Hawk (Oh oh ok)
Get the dough, but ainβt no one knock
Watch ya mouth or Imma hit that milly rock (Oh oh ok)
