Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All black 50's on me
Codeine syrup got me walking like a zombie
Posted up in the lobby
Purple rain, black hearts and some coffee
Slide past, it's gon' be a party
Perc poppin', these ain't no smarties
Police call, skrrt off, not sorry
I said that I wanted mine
Treat me like a king when I fucking die
I want to be buried with no fucking eyes
Just so I can see through your stupid lies
I don't really fucking care if these ain't my size
If I like it, I'ma cop it, let me fucking buy
(Snakes up in the grass, cut it when it's high)
Candy paint got me speaking to the other side
Tell that bitch beware though, stop stopping and staring, uh
Handling some business, baby, don't come down the stairs, uh
See you in a minute, I don't have no limits
I don't like expensive shit, I wear what match my fit, uh
Extremely picky, life can be tricky
So you gotta trick it right before it tries to trick you
You wanna be with me, I wanna be with you
But you're tryna quit me, I will fucking kill you
The following is a NOVAGANG presentation
C-c-cuff your chick
All black 50's on me
Codeine syrup got me walking like a zom-zombie
Posted up in the lobby
Purple rain, black hearts and some coffee
Slide past, it's gon' be a party
Perc poppin', these ain't no smarties
Nova goonin' on me
Police call, skrrt off, not sorry
