Moneybagg Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't hold none of this back
Go
It'll break my heart if a nigga that I be with every day
Get in that room and turn state (my worst fear)
I'm still healin' from some scars (like what?)
My daddy called me on my birthday
Whenever you speak your mind they say you crazy and call you fake (I ain't)
Thought I was through sippin' but bruh got off papers today (po' up)
Ain't skip no line, I sacrificed now I'm havin' my way (just look)
Don't need no therapist, I vent to myself and my safe (money talk)
Niggas sayin' they gon' slide for me, but ain't bust they own fire
My opps ain't even worth killin', that don't change the fact they need to die
Showed what's her name I stand on business (how?), put 'em in a suite and tie
There was a switch, the suspect shot once, victim hit a lot of times
When I lost Elo it rained hard that day outside
I'ma keep this shit so street with 'em, you do this shit for clout
How the fuck you say you real when everything I see is cap?
If I got paid for what they think 'bout me I'd probably lose the count
Don't need promo at this point 'cause they gon' do that word of mouth
Nigga I was ten toes on the front even when the snow was fallin'
I used to always have a vision me and bro was ballin'
But if he ain't mean it, thinkin' maybe he ain't wanna cross me
So many people come and go it's like that door revolvin'
Had my first repass at nine then I start goin' often
Lamp had a frown on his face like he ain't want a coffin
Know my lil' son gotta eat so I'm a workaholic
If this ain't greatness then I really don't know what to call it
Bro was sixteen, think his killer 'round the same age
The hood cried when twin 'nem died, I felt the same rage
But we gon' lose if we ain't never on the same page, hmm
Gotta keep my head up 'til them days fade
I'ma keep this shit so street with 'em, you do this shit for clout
How the fuck you say you real when everything I see is cap?
If I got paid for what they think 'bout me I'd probably lose the count
Don't need promo at this point 'cause they gon' do that word of mouth (let's get it)
I'm takin' Ecstasy like Percocets, it clutch my teeth (yeah, yeah)
I claim the voice but when he died he left his pain with me (let's get it)
J Money died I was OT, I wish he came with me (wish he came with me)
Two hunnid cash, we on his ass, you know he the same as me
Used to ride around with two or three pounds inside the Subaru (that's a Subaru)
And I'm most wanted, two hunnid cash on my new bullet proof (bullet proof)
Watch yo' niggas inside yo' circle, whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Know a killer who told on a killer, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
Even though I'm fightin' my case, these niggas be fake, I keep my pole (keep my pole)
I can't serve you at the lo' 'cause you can't get my lo' (can't get my lo')
These niggas be bitch, they hoes, these niggas tryna act like they my bro
Can't convince me you a killer 'cause you steady up yo' pole
You a bitch nigga
(Turn me up YC)
(Think we found a loophole)
