Good To Me
Playalitical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me start when I was mamas sprout
Crawlin up the halstead route
Chicago loop wit toddler mouth
Absorbing what it was all about
Id poke ya toe if you bottomed out
Then wake you up and 8 ball ya snout
Put you out in pairs half nude
Had a fur coat that could scare a zoo
And a mouth piece that could marry 2
I carried tunes and started rappin
Was outta school or always absent
Got my label off wit strip shacks
Mens clubs getin big stacks
Now I unwind and sit back
Wit al the tens you could shake a stick at.
CHORUS: [Heavn] You see the games been good to me/ So ima make it good for you. REPEATx1
Verse 2 [Playalitical]
See I tried to keep a job in place
10 dollars an hour in office space
Gossip talk off clock on breaks
Cacky pants and coffe cakes
Man this aint me I need lobster plates
Somebody better compensate me for the way that I rock on tapes
Playalitical Mr Minosha hey
My first time in a strip joint
A milf gave me some big points
Went to the ATM and seen 6 points
In her bank account I was conviced boy
She said it can go as quick as it comes
Every week six inches of 20s
These young bitches be spending it dumb
20 years they broker than nuns
But you a man that got direction
Get in the game and give directions
Most dudes get stuck on dick erection
But you over that you'll bring bigger checks in
So I jumped in and I started flexin
Got a weapon piece smith and Wesson
Started recruitin and givin lessons
To cute white black hues and Mexicans
2 thousand a week times 5
40 grand a month we ridin high
A year pass we all got cribs and cars
Some help from playa strippers to stars.
CHORUS: [Heavn] You see the games been good to me/ So ima make it good for you. REPEATx1

Line by Line Meaning
Let me start when I was mamas sprout
I will begin with my early childhood
Crawlin up the halstead route
Crawling up the street named Halstead
Chicago loop wit toddler mouth
Growing up in the Chicago Loop as a young child
Absorbing what it was all about
Learning about the environment and culture around me
Id poke ya toe if you bottomed out
I would play pranks on you if you were in a bad situation
Then wake you up and 8 ball ya snout
I would revive you and energize you, like snorting an 8 ball of cocaine
Put you out in pairs half nude
Leaving people in compromising, undressed situations
Truck stops 18 wheeler dudes
Frequenting truck stops, meeting long-haul truck drivers
Had a fur coat that could scare a zoo
Owned a large, intimidating fur coat
And a mouth piece that could marry 2
Had a way with words and persuasion, could convince two people to marry
I carried tunes and started rappin
I developed my musical skills and began rapping
Was outta school or always absent
I either dropped out or skipped school frequently
Got my label off wit strip shacks
Started my record label out of strip clubs
Mens clubs getin big stacks
Making a lot of money from men's clubs
Now I unwind and sit back
Now I relax and enjoy my success
Wit al the tens you could shake a stick at.
With a lot of money, more than I could count
See I tried to keep a job in place
I attempted to hold a steady job
10 dollars an hour in office space
Making minimum wage in an office job
Gossip talk off clock on breaks
Talking behind people's backs during work breaks
Cacky pants and coffe cakes
Wearing khaki pants and eating coffee cake
Man this aint me I need lobster plates
This work is not suited for me, I need something more luxurious
Somebody better compensate me for the way that I rock on tapes
Someone should pay me for my musical abilities and success
My first time in a strip joint
The first time I went to a strip club
A milf gave me some big points
An older woman gave me some valuable information
Went to the ATM and seen 6 points
I saw $6,000 in her bank account
In her bank account I was conviced boy
I was convinced that strip clubs were lucrative
She said it can go as quick as it comes
The money can be fleeting and short-lived
Every week six inches of 20s
Making a lot of money in twenties every week
These young bitches be spending it dumb
Some young women are foolish with their money
20 years they broker than nuns
In 20 years they will be broke, with no money
But you a man that got direction
But I am a man with a clear plan and goal
Get in the game and give directions
Get into this industry and guide others
Most dudes get stuck on dick erection
Most men get sidetracked by sex and lust
But you over that you'll bring bigger checks in
But I am past that, and will bring in even more money
So I jumped in and I started flexin
So I started making bold moves and showing off my success
Got a weapon piece smith and Wesson
I purchased a gun from Smith & Wesson
Started recruitin and givin lessons
I began recruiting and teaching others
To cute white black hues and Mexicans
To people of all races and ethnicities
2 thousand a week times 5
Making $10,000 a week
40 grand a month we ridin high
Making $40,000 a month and living luxuriously
A year pass we all got cribs and cars
After a year, we all had houses and cars
Some help from playa strippers to stars.
Some of our success came from the connections and help of strippers
