"Shawty wanna kick it with the team
I got all this guap on me"
Furthermore, the track’s title is a play on the phonetic similarities between the phrase “Yah Mean” and the name of NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming, who Carti shouts-out throughout the song.

Young handsome ass nigga, pretty nigga you dig?
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
Shawty wanna kick it with the team
I got all this guap on me
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
I'm counting all this guap on me
Counting all this guap you know I mean
Sipping on that motherfucking lean
Promethazine motherfucking lean
Niggas water down like some fucking chlorine
Bitch it's Lord of the Rings (ice)
Diamonds looking like summertime
Trying to bite my flow and my rhymes
I thought I told that ho the world is mine
I just took his bitch like a crime
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
Shawty wanna kick it with the team
I got all this guap on me
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Ooh fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Fucked her in the coupe, then she popped the blue
Woah, ooh, South Atlanta goon
R.I.P. Troup
At the Citgo, you know how it go
Count dem big bank rolls, and she on the pole
And she came a long way from the stripper pole, that my hoe
And I came a long way from kicking doors, that's on bro
Look at the ice
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
Shawty wanna kick it with the team
I got all this guap on me
Shawty wanna ball with the team
Money sitting tall, Yao Ming
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe
Fucking on that swoop, fucking on that hoe

I had sex with a woman in a car and she took drugs. I am from South Atlanta and I remember someone who died. We are at a gas station and I have a lot of money. There is a woman dancing on a pole, who used to be a stripper but now belongs to me. I used to break into people's homes but I have moved on to bigger things. Look at my jewelry.
