New Gen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
On the corner with the savages
Dealing work, we serving packages
In the trap house with some Africans
Noki with the packages
All these hitters my bros
I came with friends not foes
Came with my lady no hoes
Fuck the Beamer I want the Range Rover
Fuck the Range I want the Wraith though
Fuck the Wraith I want the peso
Mucho el dinero
Kept it real with niggas scratchin' mine, I'll scratch your back
Niggas still went and done me dirty stabbed me in my back
It's the kid a nigga said they wouldn't vouch for
It's the kid who rocks Givenchy like it's lojo?
It's the kid who got himself going and now he wants more
It's the kid who's having dinner on the top floor
See the bitch you cuffed I just swerved her
Mix Russian with some Persian
Hating niggas I ain't heard of
I just brought some Louis that's a murder
Spikes all up on the kicks
Margiela when I drip
Watch on it don't tick
In your babe hold banana clips
Fuck me I get your mother gone
Fuck with me I get your daughter gone
Give her jeans like she needed some
But she brought her sister and another one
A nigga made some loses a nigga gon make it back (hey)
A nigga disrespect your nigga better earn it back (hey)
A nigga say he war ready better clap it back (hey)
If I make a 100 racks a nigga never looking back (hey)
Kept it real with niggas scratchin' mine, I'll scratch your back
Niggas still went and done me dirty stabbed me in my back
Niggas looking at the kid like a nigga owe something
If she say she love me, bitch you better better hold something
Niggas say they looking for me nigga they ain't found nothing
Still up in the trenches, got a nigga better have something
It's the kid a nigga said they wouldn't vouch for
It's the kid who rocks Givenchy like it's lojo?
It's the kid who got himself going and now he wants more
It's the kid who's having dinner on the top floor
See the bitch you cuffed I just swerved her
Mix Russian with some Persian
Hating niggas I ain't heard of
I just brought some Louis that's a murder
Spikes all up on the kicks
Margiela when I drip
Watch on it don't tick
In your babe hold banana clips
See the bitch you cuffed I just swerved her
Mix Russian with some Persian
Hating niggas I ain't heard of
I just brought some Louis that's a murder
Spikes all up on the kicks
Margiela when I drip
Watch on it don't tick
In your babe hold banana clip
The lyrics to New Gen's song Top Floor, speak about being a successful rapper and leaving the hardships behind. The singer seems to be reflecting on his past and the things he had to do to get to where he is now. He talks about serving packages on the corner with "savages" and being in the "trap house" with "Africans". The phrase "Noki with the packages" suggests that he may have been involved in illegal activities, which is further emphasized with the mention of "killers" and "hitters" being his "bros" on the go.
Despite his past, the singer is now living the life he always wanted. He lists the things he wants, from a Range Rover to a Wraith, but ultimately, he wants "mucho el dinero" or a lot of money. He also seems to value loyalty and scratches "your back if you scratch mine", which adds to the tension when he mentions that his "brothers" stabbed him in the back.
The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing that it's "the kid" who has made it to the top floor for dinner. It's clear that he is enjoying his success but is also aware that he's made enemies along the way. He swerved the girl someone else "cuffed", mixed Russian with Persian, and hates on the people who don't know him. He also states that he has "brought some Louis that's a murder", which could suggest that he's willing to spend a lot of money on expensive things that represent his success.
Overall, Top Floor speaks about the journey from the bottom to the top and suggests that the singer overcame many obstacles to get there. The lyrics also highlight the singer's desire for wealth and success, as well as his loyalty to those who are loyal to him.
