PARTYNEXTDOOR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't worry about me, nigga
Never worry about me, nigga
Don't worry about me
Everybody say they got rack up
Show me the Roley
Niggas can't count me out, cause these niggas countin' on me
Subsidized housin' is a project
Poppa never taught me how to cock it
Poppa just taught me how to respect it
Sauga City taught me how to pop it
Bullets don't come with a name
Gun's don't come with a killer, gun's don't come for vanilla
The choppa' only comin' for a nigga
Choppa can tell when tequila screw up like Ikea, 'kea, 'kea
She look like Aaliyah, 'liyah, 'liyah, 'liyah
That's how I treat her, treat her, treat her, treat her
Bad lil' whoadie
Roley that Roley that came with that roll
All as a kid I was dreamin' 'bout more
You fuckin' with me I got more by the North
Ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, you know I got it
Still got it, my nigga
Don't worry about me, nigga
Never worry about me, nigga
Don't worry about me
Everybody say they got rack up
Show me the Roley
Don't worry 'bout me nigga
Everyday a nigga birthday so I need a bigger cake
These niggas payin' for these bitches
Man I'm chillin' tryna' find me some real estate
Bases loaded eatin' good over here,
Bitch tell the waitress bring some dinner plates
Everybody keep sayin' that I'm in the lead, didn't know I was in a race
Excuse the Versace that's sittin' on the floor
I'm pimpin' and Party singin' to your ho
I told my other girl that I might be late
One way pocket so you know a nigga straight
On another note, yeah you know I still got it in the club with the pocket rocket
Step in the buildin', bitches get excited
Have you ever seen a female riot?
Ooh, gettin' too close then somebody might shoot you
I left the bullshit in the past, nigga I can see the future
Ray Charles-Ray Bans, all I see is money, all I see is honeys
In the club blowin' your budget
Know the haters gon' hate, but the bitches love it
Roley that Roley that came with that roll
All as a kid I was dreamin' 'bout more
You fuckin' with me I got more by the North
Ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, you know I got it
Still got it, my nigga
Don't worry about me, nigga
Never worry about me, nigga
Don't worry about me
Everybody say they got rack up
Show me the Roley
The song "Don't Worry" by PARTYNEXTDOOR is a celebratory track about success despite past struggles. The lyrics boast about having material wealth, freedom from worry, and a carefree life. The singer talks about how people doubted him in the past but he made it through, and now he has everything he needs. The mention of a Rolex watch and big birthday cakes emphasizes the opulence and luxury in his life. The lyrics also mention his hometown Sauga City and how it taught him how to "pop it" (dance).
The lyrics about girls are also present in the song. He talks about the amount of attention he receives from girls now that he's famous. He mentions how he's pimping and partying and singing to someone's girl, and he's jokingly telling his "other girl" that he might be late. The lyrics also seem to suggest that women can become violent in his presence, which could be inferred from the line "Have you ever seen a female riot?". The song's beat is a mix of hip-hop and pop music, and the lyrics are filled with rhyme and wordplay.
