Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up on Ponderosa I cannot forget her
Don't fuck with the rumors know them boys is bitter
I'm here for revenge no I cannot forgive ya
I'm sorry for the bad news
See the drip see the shine know it's past due
I'm sorry for the bad news
See the drip see the shine know it's past due...
With a 9 to 5 I put the work in overtime
They was tyna slave me all they told me was the lies
Now they want what's mine nigga go get a life
I'm here for revenge tell em I ain't playing nice
Showed they colors when I left but I'm gon make it right
Give the hoe the pipe but I don't stay the night
Don't make plans bitch naw ain't my type
Whip through the ends my ting snowwhite
Don't know the mans my heart cold ice
Don't call me friend mandem no ties
They tryna work they shit all hype
Phone start to buzz my ting side-eye
Ride in a ghost 6 speed sci-fi
Flows made of gold 2 chainz no lie
Give her one look then that thing all ripe
Burn holes in my sweater think it's time to get up
Up on Ponderosa I cannot forget her
Don't fuck with the rumors know them boys is bitter
I'm here for revenge no I cannot forgive ya
I'm sorry for the bad news
See the drip see the shine know it's past due
I'm sorry for the bad news
See the drip see the shine know it's past due...
