Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, uh, aye, whoa, yeah, get it, get it, hey
La Flia
Hey, yeah
El Loco Cubano-Argentino
Aye, aye, aye, let’s go
Back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up
Back it up, back it up, back it up
You gettin’ money?
Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up, bag it up
Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up
Lets gooooooo, bitch, I’m on a roll
Told her back it up, tryna feel it in my soul
I’m gettin bands, big bands, you in my plans, god damn
Tryna see you ride it with no hands, get them style points
We might have to take it to the whip, test suspension out
Throw it in a circle for me, treat it like a roundabout
Round about 2, I’mma need that round 2
Baby come on let’s ride, feelin’ like I’m Uncle Luke
Head, head, and more head
Cause them cakes will be the death of me
Almost left it in, almost blew it like a referee
Lookin’ back at me, swear it always gets the best of me
I can never pass, guess I’m lucky she ain’t testin’ me
Back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up
Back it up, back it up, back it up
You gettin’ money?
Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up, bag it up
Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up

Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up

Free returns, I give your ho back, hey!
Joe exotic, kill the whole cat, hey!
Ooo, short dress, booty peekin’ out
Ooo, keep a secret, never leak it out
Ooo, you let her swipe your credit card, full amount
Now your wife is wonderin’ β€œthe hell to your bank account, Richard?"
Back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up
Back it up, back it up, back it up

Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up, bag it up
Bag it up, bag it up, bag it up

Count that quick, bag it up
Ass on cloud, back it up
Make me proud, back it up

Back it up, back it up, back it up
