MoneyBagg Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laugh to the bank, I'm like, "Haha"
Dada, what she sayin'? I hear, "Blah blah"
Water, rocks on me like I'm Ty Ty
Baba, sippin' lean like it's aqua
Pop a Percocet before you chop a chopper
When it bust you hear, "Brrat-brrat"
Doctor, servin' patients, I'ma trapper
Smokin' Sharklato in a fishbowl wearin' Prada (givin' it)
Got a drank bottle from the doctor, ridin' with a NLE Choppa (fed)
Hard on a bitch and I said what I said
Too much blue money to go in the red (red)
Better get little, start usin' yo' legs
Bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah, hit at yo' head (bah)
Mad at the nigga, now she up for grabs
Single and thirsty, bougie and ghetto (ha)
Don't wanna let go of me like a Eggo (nope)
Good pussy sound like you stirrin' Alfredo (ugh)
Last nigga diss us can't eat nothin' but Jell-O (why?)
Heard he got hit with a carbon Carmelo (brrt)
Haters be hot but my chain below zero
Money keep callin', I answer like, "Hello" (yup)
La-la, haha
Laugh to the bank, I'm like, "Haha"
Dada, what she sayin'? I hear, "Blah-blah"
Water, rocks on me like I'm Ty Ty
Baba, sippin' lean like it's aqua
Pop a Percocet before you chop a chopper
When it bust you hear, "Brrat-brrat"
Doctor, servin' patients, I'ma trapper
Rasta, I been runnin' with some shottas
Whole lotta hunnids in the safe (blue)
Way more twenties in the vacuum sealed (what else?)
Niggas be cool not straight
Get no handshake if I know you squeal (12)
Never made money playin' safe (nope)
Had to take them risks, kick doors, and steal (go)
My lil' men dedicated on the drill
Laid there all night, twelve until
Swallow, gargle all in her mouth like some tonsils
Mall security, kids, she caught 'em
After you done just leave, autumn
Send in your friend, good thing you brought 'em (share)
Mama keep callin' (what?)
"Since you don't act like you got no sense, act like you got money"
Funny, red and blue Louis, no tummy, dummy
Drippy, runny (Bagg)
La-la, haha
Laugh to the bank I'm like, "Haha"
Dada, what she sayin'? I hear, "Blah-blah"
Water, rocks on me like I'm Ty Ty
Baba, sippin' lean like it's aqua
Pop a Percocet before you chop a chopper
When it bust you hear, "Brrat-brrat"
Doctor, servin' patients, I'ma trapper
Rasta, I been runnin' with some shottas
(Turn me up YC, turn me up YC)
(Red dead, I'm so fuckin' bumpin', bruh)
MoneyBagg Yo's "Shottas" is a song about his experiences as a trapper and the lifestyle that comes with living that life. From the opening lines, it is clear that the money he's making is bringing him joy, with the repeated use of "laugh to the bank, I'm like haha" emphasizing his happiness at his financial success. The use of slang terms and slang phonetics such as "dada" and "baba" add to the overall street vibe of the song. The reference to Ty Ty and the rocks on him suggests that he is as wealthy and successful as the famous music mogul and that these riches are a hallmark of his success.
The chorus of the song is the most catchy part and includes a reference to Rasta and "running with some shottas". Here, "shotta" refers to someone who is involved in illegal activities and has a criminal record. By running with these individuals, MoneyBagg Yo comes across as someone who is fearless or even violent, a quality that may be necessary to survive in his world. The second verse focuses more on the details of his life as a trapper, including his possession of a large amount of money, his willingness to take risks, and his ability to manage "lil' men" who are "dedicated on the drill".
Overall, the song uses a lot of slang and phonetics that are common in the trapper lifestyle, which may make it hard for some people to understand without doing research on the culture. It portrays the life of a trapper as a dangerous but rewarding one, consolidating the successes that come with money and power.

Mall security, kids, she caught 'em
She caught some underage thieves at the mall
After you done just leave, autumn
After you finish having sex with her, just leave her alone
Send in your friend, good thing you brought 'em (share)
Bring your friend to join us and share the fun
Mama keep callin' (what?)
"Since you don't act like you got no sense, act like you got money"
My mother keeps telling me to act responsibly and make money
Funny, red and blue Louis, no tummy, dummy
I'm wearing Louis Vuitton clothes that fit me well
Drippy, runny (Bagg)
My jewelry and style are flashy and impressive
