Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One call leave yo name on a cold case
Sweet shit, but I'll leave you with a bitter taste
Who the fuck got you thinking you a big dawg ?
Doin wifey shit but wouldn't even get that jail call
Wipe you up like a sponge and call you SpongeBob
In the booth making hits call me Babe Ruth
Ian never tried to fit in ima loose screw
Real shit I don't do this for the internet
Real bitch and I promise Ian faking that
223 556 that's a combo you can't beat
Had him stuck, but he a bust ! had to leave him out of reach
Had a friend, but cut her off ! never knew she was a leach
Rod wave tie her up and take her body to the beach
Out the way and on my shit that's the only way to be
Only 18 with the grip bitch I'm only seeing me !
On my ps and qs . Ian say shit but I peeped
Thugga baby but I'm her, I sit back and watch the scene
I got motion ian tripping I'm worth way more than you bitches
Had a pole but you ain't buss had to change out yo position
A believer wit no faith who got you trapping false religion ?
Catch a bitch attention youd think I went to school for fishing
Said you real but then you folded now you wit the opposition
Turn around and throw it back he said like the extra tension
Keep it cute cuz I'm that Ian asking for no views
Told momma ima make it Ian never played to lose
Had to kick him to the curb call me David beckom
Grabbed a 40 with a stick and had my nigga check him
Fuck the past, this the present he wit me now
See you doing good now it's kinda hard to diss you
We going fast blowing shit like it's a missile told him step back and you lucky if it missed you !
How I got you bitches mad with a stuck face ?
One call leave yo name on a cold case
Sweet shit, but I'll leave you with a bitter taste
Who the fuck got you thinking you a big dawg ?
Doin wifey shit but wouldn't even get that jail call
Wipe you up like a sponge and call you SpongeBob
In the booth making hits call me Babe Ruth
Ian never tried to fit in ima loose screw
