Modest
NAV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Yeah)
I run the building, no Slayter or Zack
Never relax, diamonds always attack
Book me a jet and I fly out a pack
Got bitches on lock, Orange is the New Black
Weatherspoons on me, I feel like a hippie
Ridin' on Vossen and my tires are lippy
I walk into Magic and order a fifty
This is a prezzy, no this ain't no Swiss watch
Ridin' my cock like she dancin' for TikTok
Smokin' on gas, I got ZaZa in Ziplocs
Found a new plug, told the old one to kick rocks
Backwoods and Creed my aroma
From the streets where I got my diploma
Fell asleep while I was rollin' on Xans and I feel like I came out a coma
If she tell me that she ridin' for me then I know she gon' do what I told her
Itty bitty little ice on your neck but I know that my necklace colder
Keep me good relations, I know lots of Haitians, I gotta problem call my Zoe's up
Never emotional, keep a straight face, when I'm playin' my cards I won't fold up
Got a lil' ho put the pussy on Backpage, gettin' to the cheese like cottage
She gotta lil' profile, told her send the address, blow the whole thing of narcotics
Keep the racks like badges in NBA 2K 'cause it upgrade my ballin'
Whole clique lookin' like dried out tooth paste, everybody stayin' solid
Gettin' my Ws, can't take a loss, I gotta proceed with caution
Everybody know me at the bank 'cause I always be walkin' in makin' deposits
I was down bad eatin' chicken on Tuesday, same time Pluto made Honest
Fuckin' up a check, spent a hundred on a Monday and I was bein' modest
Got Gucci's socks like they Nike's
If you see me with her and she gettin' quality time, you know she gettin' pipey
Imagine I try to please all of the people that tell me that they do not like me
I got some big stones inside my ring, turn on the lights just like boxers, they fightin'
Everyone count on me, I bring the drugs, I'm the life of the party
Feel like I'm Playboy, on my birthday, I got a skeleton Carti'
Unlimited credit, catch me on a off day, I still keep a ten everywhere that I go
Money come steady, I gotta stay ready, avoidin' the headache, I stay on my toes
Never showin' weakness
Spend a lot of nights sleepless
Wish that my problems would go away
Told that lil' ho I don't go on dates
They watchin' my chain and this shit gettin' tizzy
Keep it off safety, I told 'em come get it
I got some hittas that's playin' they role
Don't play with me, go and play with your ho
Got a lil' ho put the pussy on Backpage, gettin' to the cheese like cottage
She gotta lil' profile, told her send the address, blow the whole thing of narcotics
Keep the racks like badges in NBA 2K 'cause it upgrade my ballin'
Whole clique lookin' like dried out tooth paste, everybody stayin' solid
Gettin' my Ws, can't take a loss, I gotta proceed with caution
Everybody know me at the bank 'cause I always be walkin' in makin' deposits
I was down bad eatin' chicken on Tuesday, same time Pluto made Honest
Fuckin' up a check, spent a hundred on a Monday and I was bein' modest
