Nadia Nakai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Couple last shots shutdown Instagram
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Double tap my shit, bitch you just a fan
Bank account got me screaming, yeah yeah
I got homies claiming we go way way
They may back up on me when itโ€™s pay day
Bitch Iโ€™m making money on a daily

I say fuck all you gimmicks, this is raptime
Thinking weโ€™re the same is a damn crime
If I hear another sub, in your weird rhymes
Then I'mma drop a bitch, this is cashtime
Wait, wait, wait, wait, I ain't need no stress
I donโ€™t fuck with no basics
Trynna get me a lex
Young niggar donโ€™t test me
And donโ€™t get a lil mess
Swagg game finess
Rap game like chess
Your boyfriend in my DM
Trynna buy me a BM
Acting like I donโ€™t see โ€™em
Fuck โ€™em all cop a DM
Body bag with the verses
Top range no taxes
Donโ€™t fuck with my exes
Trynna find my next push
N-A-K-A-I
Ask about me hairline
Too fly like an airline
You shit dumb like an hairline
Money back got made, these hoes pushed back their deadlines
Signing out for a real change, got the same deal but like 10 times
I need a bad bitch just to twerk for me
Nobody in the game putting work like me
Even when I go on vacation, I thought that it would change it
But came back to the same shit
Iโ€™ve been the man

Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Couple last shots shutdown Instagram
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Double tap my shit, bitch you just a fan
Bank account got me screaming, yeah yeah
I got homies claiming we go way way
They may back up on me when itโ€™s pay day
Bitch Iโ€™m making money on a daily

You are now looking at the
Hardest working man in the industry
Street smart hustler mind is sharp as a guillotine
Bentley driver, womanizer fuck them until they sleep
The tint is 25%, it looks like a limousine
When I skrr, nigga we way wavy
And I donโ€™t give a fuck what they say lately
I get it I really do nigga they hate me
'Cause a nigga so hot I could blaze Satan
Spray paint him serve him like his prey break him
Like a week promise
Deep pockets, still keep a cheap wallet
Dick solid, donโ€™t you wanna sit on it
Skipped college, still got rich knowledge
Symbolic, never ever miss flawless
We spotted, niggas acting dishonest
Bitch nodded
Ain't nobody this awesome, clique polished
You looking for hits? Got em' Chris Wallace, niggas got a big problem
Demolished, the head with the wig on it, she swallowed
I gave her what the bitch wanted itjatja
I live on it, the kidโ€™s modest but I just wanna piss on them
The motherfuckers donโ€™t wanna uplift artist
They just wanna sit in their big office
With deposits of bribe getting rich bothered by nix
'Cause itโ€™s a vibe to be rigged started with this force itโ€™s alive
I legit got it, hau batla gura lenna o sebet Sani
You should quit homie 'Cause you lying to yourself
Iโ€™m an idol thatโ€™s the truth
I donโ€™t mean to sugar coat it, but my rival is a poes
Iโ€™m as real as they donโ€™t come
The truth is vital in the booth
They so used to me winning they get excited when I lose
'Cause I been the man

Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Couple last shots shutdown Instagram
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Bitch Iโ€™ve been the man
Double tap my shit, bitch you just a fan
Bank account got me screaming, yeah yeah

They may back up on me when itโ€™s pay day
Bitch Iโ€™m making money on a daily
