Moneybagg Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lil' nigga caught him one, now he geeked up off that kill
If I let you sit behind me, I must love you for real, for real, for real
Wakin' up on my mama couch
Lookin' for a plug just to end the drought
Reggie pounds they was on the town
Might shot ya down, keep a half a ounce
I was dead broke, she couldn't tell though
Wearin' my nigga shoes and my cousin clothes
But that was way before checks hittin' now, bitches hittin' back
I'm against myself goin' tit for tat
Went through Walker Homes, havin' flash backs
Baby bottle full, not with Similac
Ain't no sense in tryna clear it up
Let 'em feel how they wanna feel
Wanna grieve, can't though
They tryna say we got they brother killed (shit crazy)
I'm trendin' now, but workin' like it's the beginnin' now
I'll kill you with the truth before I lie
And if you want smoke, we blow that fire
How you gangsta but a humble guy?
'Cause I'm still tryna catch my blessings
Big stepper, I keep my weapon
I don't 'member last time I left it
Look at me, they see a threat
Look at me, they see a check
I guess that's how they view a nigga
Learnin' from the internet
All them kids, baby mama drama
Can't judge a book bye its cover
How you know me you ain't got my number?
Five years still no fumble
Watchu mean switch it up? This how I'm gettin' paid still
My lil' nigga caught him one, now he geeked up off that kill
And if I let you sit behind me, I must love you for real
Fuck it, if I let you come around me, I must know you forreal
Never down, I upper graded, bitches fuck who got a wave
Hope a nigga see the top before the day I see the grave
Ballin' with the same team of players I could never trade
The ones that went against me, regret it, they wish they never played
Sometimes you be movin' too fast with no time to stash
Troopers lights flashed, pulled over with seven hunnid cash
I'm tellin' them Google me, but they just tryna see ID
Food Saver saved me, they didn't even smell the half a P
You ain't sacrifice what I did, no off days, I missed birthdays
I be at my best whenever I'm mad or in a hurt phase
Forgive me if you met me on them Percs, them was the worst days
Currently I'm swimmin' in codeine, I'm on a surf wave
Watchu mean switch it up? This how I'm gettin' paid still
My lil' nigga caught him one, now he geeked up off that kill
And if I let you sit behind me, I must love you for real
Fuck it, if I let you come around me, I must know you forreal
Watchu mean switch it up? This how I'm gettin' paid still
My lil' nigga caught him one, now he geeked up off that kill
And if I let you sit behind me, I must love you for real
Fuck it, if I let you come around me, I must know you forreal
(Red dead, I'm still fuckin' bumpin, bro)
(Run it up O)
(So you wanna play varsity?)

Watchu mean switch it up? This how I'm gettin' paid still
I don't understand why people want me to change my style, this is how I make money
My lil' nigga caught him one, now he geeked up off that kill
My friend killed someone and now he's high on the adrenaline rush
And if I let you sit behind me, I must love you for real, for real, for real
I only let people close to me sit behind me in a car, it's a sign of true affection
Wakin' up on my mama couch
I used to be broke and homeless, now I'm successful
Lookin' for a plug just to end the drought
I had to find a drug dealer to get drugs because I was in a dry spell
Reggie pounds they was on the town
I used to smoke low quality weed, known as 'Reggie', that was popular in the area
Might shot ya down, keep a half a ounce
I have a gun and a small amount of weed on me in case someone tries to harm me
Just a lil' somethin' to smoke with a ho
I have a small amount of weed to share with a girl I'm trying to impress
I was dead broke, she couldn't tell though
I was really poor but I didn't let anyone see it
Wearin' my nigga shoes and my cousin clothes
I had to wear hand-me-downs from my family to have clothes to wear
But that was way before checks hittin' now, bitches hittin' back
I didn't have money before, but now that I do, girls are interested in me
I'm against myself goin' tit for tat
I'm trying to better myself instead of getting caught up in petty arguments
Went through Walker Homes, havin' flash backs
I grew up in rough neighborhoods and remember the struggles I faced
Baby bottle full, not with Similac
I had to drink from a baby bottle because I was so poor I couldn't afford regular cups
Ain't no sense in tryna clear it up
I'm not going to bother trying to explain myself to people who already have their minds made up
Let 'em feel how they wanna feel
I don't care how people feel about me or my actions
Wanna grieve, can't though
People want to mourn, but they can't because they think I had something to do with their loved one's death
They tryna say we got they brother killed (shit crazy)
People are accusing me and my crew of being involved in someone's death, which is ridiculous
I'm trendin' now, but workin' like it's the beginnin' now
I'm successful now, but I'm still working as hard as I did when I was starting out
I'll kill you with the truth before I lie
I value honesty and will always tell the truth, even if it's uncomfortable
And if you want smoke, we blow that fire
If someone has a problem with me, I'm willing to fight them
How you gangsta but a humble guy?
I may be tough, but I'm still a humble person
'Cause I'm still tryna catch my blessings
I'm grateful for my success and trying to continue to be blessed
Big stepper, I keep my weapon
I carry a gun for protection
I don't 'member last time I left it
I always have my gun on me and can't remember the last time I didn't
Look at me, they see a threat
People perceive me as dangerous and intimidating
Look at me, they see a check
People see me as wealthy and successful
I guess that's how they view a nigga
Unfortunately, people often stereotype and judge me based on my race
Learnin' from the internet
I'm always learning and gaining knowledge from the internet
All them kids, baby mama drama
I have multiple children with different women and it causes drama
Can't judge a book bye its cover
People shouldn't judge me based on my appearance or reputation
How you know me you ain't got my number?
People often make assumptions about me without actually getting to know me
Five years still no fumble
I've been successful for five years without making any major mistakes
Never down, I upper graded, bitches fuck who got a wave
I always strive to improve and become better, and women are interested in successful men
Hope a nigga see the top before the day I see the grave
I want to be successful and achieve my goals before I die
Ballin' with the same team of players I could never trade
I've stuck with my loyal friends and team even though I could have switched to more successful people
The ones that went against me, regret it, they wish they never played
People who opposed me in the past now regret their decision and wish they had been on my side
Sometimes you be movin' too fast with no time to stash
I'm often in a rush and don't have time to hide my money or drugs
Troopers lights flashed, pulled over with seven hunnid cash
I got pulled over by the police but managed to hide my money
I'm tellin' them Google me, but they just tryna see ID
People are more interested in my celebrity status than my actual accomplishments
Food Saver saved me, they didn't even smell the half a P
I was able to hide drugs using Food Saver packaging and the police didn't detect it
You ain't sacrifice what I did, no off days, I missed birthdays
I've had to work hard and sacrifice important events to achieve my success
I be at my best whenever I'm mad or in a hurt phase
I use negative emotions as fuel to motivate myself and be productive
Forgive me if you met me on them Percs, them was the worst days
I had a drug addiction in the past and wasn't my best self
Currently I'm swimmin' in codeine, I'm on a surf wave
I currently use prescription drugs to get high and it's affecting my life
(Red dead, I'm still fuckin' bumpin, bro)
I'm still listening to Red Dead Redemption's soundtrack and enjoying it
(Run it up O)
Let's make more money!
(So you wanna play varsity?)
Are you ready to step up to the big leagues and be successful?
