They Madd
Moneybagg Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know why they mad at me (At me)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (What it's 'bout?)
I went up on my features (I went up on a verse)
I went up on my shows (I went up on appearance)
I don't fuck with bitches in the city no more
Out of town my hoes (On red eye flights)
Hear the frog in my voice (It sound like I'm hoarse)
My women and drugs yellow yellow yellow
I'm high of course (I'm high of course)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (At me)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (I know why they mad at Bagg)
(Why they mad, Bagg?)
I don't pay attention to the blogs (Nope)
I don't see why niggas do (I don't know)
If you pay attention to my words (What)
You'd think like killers do (Hitter)
Once you get hit with that steel, you bleedin' for real
Boy this ain't no cartoon (This shit here real life)
I call the shots fool
And my niggas ridin' with me, carpool (Carpool)
I can't be see with hoes from the city (Why?)
'Cause they talkin' too much ('Cause they talkin' too much)
Man I couldn't wait to go and get me some wheels (Some rims)
I was walkin' too much (I was starvin')
You only get to see this drip one time
Even though it cost too much (One time)
I can't keep up with the money I make (Blow it)
Hope I ain't lost too much (How you get it?)
I told 'em it was all hustle
No gym, but I'm workin my muscle (Workin' my hustle)
Designer belt buckle
Glock-9 and FN that's a couple (Love each other)
Pull up to the set, twenty minute show, I need twenty more
Might bring out your favorite rapper and your ho (Hey)
See these diamonds flash when I laugh
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (At me)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (What it's 'bout?)
I went up on my features (I went up on a verse)
I went up on my shows (I went up on appearance)
I don't fuck with bitches in the city no more
Out of town my hoes (On red eye flights)
I got in my bag (Let's be 'pecific)
Hear the frog in my voice (It sound like I'm hoarse)
My women and drugs yellow yellow yellow
I'm high of course (I'm high of course)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (At me)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (I know why they mad at Bagg)
She in a foreign (The greatest, the latest)
That's why they mad at her (They furious)
She in her own lane (Her own lane)
You bitches ain't bad enough (Catch up)
She my recruiter (Go bring back a bitch)
I ain't gotta fuck off (I ain't gotta fuck off)
She like me with the talkin' (She like me with the convo)
I can't take her lil' walk (I can't take how she move)
She like how I'm livin', credit card with no limit, we just spend it (And fuck it up)
She perform on the dick then clean the pole off when she finished (She suck it up, ugh)
Found out why they mad, I bought her new ass, her wrist got some glass on it (VVS's)
She do a lil' hair on the side then make it to class with cash on her (She a blessing, ayy)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (At me)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (What it's 'bout?)
I went up on my features (I went up on a verse)
I went up on my shows (I went up on appearance)
I don't fuck with bitches in the city no more
Out of town my hoes (On red eye flights)
I got in my bag (Let's be 'pecific)
Hear the frog in my voice (It sound like I'm hoarse)
My women and drugs yellow yellow yellow
I'm high of course (I'm high of course)
I know why they mad (I know why they mad)
I know why they mad at me (At me)

I know why they mad at me (I know why they mad at Bagg)
