Mandatory Drug Test
Moneybagg Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I doubled the cup to let you know I ain't drinkin' nothin' regular
I keep a couple shots in case you get foul and technical
I'm free as a bird but somehow I'm still goin' federal
Yeah, come take a ride with me, hop on the passenger side
Baby let's burn some trees, talk back while we glide
I'ma get fly like Clyde, diamonds like stars and skies
You gotta accept that I'm live, yeah
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
Back in the day I was playin', yeah
Now I get fly as a plane, yeah
Soon as I take the diamonds out of my mouth I'ma put 'em inside of a ring
You get niggas round you tryna get clout instead of chasing money, Hussein
Yeah they turned neck Tom Ford and still see his run a chain
Travel on the way, I would stand in the rain
2018 Phantom Rose, and the seat lean
I ain't look at the forecast, so I hoped in the Rolls, in case that it rain
You ain't gon' do it, I came out the mud, I drank on mud
My diamonds brown, like I love mud, I fucked her good
She nut I nut, I lie like rugs, these hollows fudge
Every day, we persian grudge, shake it up and pour up suds
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
I'm rocking ice like meth (drugs)
I got codeine on my breath
I waste some on myself (damn)
Thirty I'm aiming like Steph (bah)
She like my persona, Dolce Gabanna, D&G belt
I'm a playboy, bunnies all on me, I'm feeling like Hef
My dogs gon' slide for me, they gon' pull a homicide for me
I like an honest freak, told the bitch to never lie to me
I'm a star like 'Lito, once I found out that boosted my ego
I'm in the jungle but not in the hood, I'm somewhere in Rio
Come on and just fly with me, fly like a redeye with me
I took her through some shit, watchin' powder, shawty tired of me
Eighty-threes all inside of me
Pop a couple, come and vibe with me
Took a jet to get some privacy
Campaign in the sky with me
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
Pour up a zip of that fluid, and I know you don't do it
But baby get high with me, draw me under the influence
I used to walk home, now I be gone, 'cause I be touring
Water on me, and on my feet, I'm on the shores
The lyrics of "Mandatory Drug Test" by Moneybagg Yo speak about his life and mindset in the world of drugs and music industry. The first two lines of the song "Crack the seal it's potent, you can smell when it's medical, I doubled the cup to let you know I ain't drinkin' nothin' regular" gives us an insight into his use of drugs that are not ordinary, meaning he only uses potent and expensive drugs. He then goes on to say that he keeps a couple of shots in case someone gets foul and technical, meaning he's well prepared to handle any situation that comes his way.
Moving on, he invites someone to take a ride with him and to get high with him. He describes himself as free as a bird but somehow still going federal, meaning he's living a free life yet still facing legal problems, mainly due to his drug use.
The second verse talks about his rise to fame, where he used to walk home but now he's gone touring. He wants the one he's with to get high with him and be drawn under the influence. He boasts about his lifestyle, his diamonds, and his car, saying he's rocking ice, got codeine on his breath, and wastes some on himself.
Overall, "Mandatory Drug Test" by Moneybagg Yo delves into the rapper's life of using expensive and powerful drugs, and the exuberant lifestyle that accompanies it, and reflects on the dichotomy of his freedom and legal problems.
