Polo G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Oh no
Oh

Don't give a fuck what nah nigga say
Couldn't let that chance get away
Need ten hunnid bands in the safe
Only ten-year friends in the wraith
You got no friends in this race
Bro you gotta understand niggas fake
Knock 'em off if they stand in the way
Shorties hoppin' out vans with the 'k
I done seen my own mans turn to snakes
Done see my own mans tell the jakes
I know god got plans for me now
Because he put bands on the plate
One static put bands on his face
Bet he gon' understand we don't play
First nigga try to reach, say it now
He gon' die where he stand here today

I was passing out dog food in them dope lines
Streets voucher for me, fuck a co-sign
When we gang banging we tote iron
You earn respect with a 4-5
I'ma let it spark when it's show time
2014 when my bro died
Seen a lot of niggas really won't ride
Wanna see you smile one more time
Got damaged heart, I done had enough
I don't wanna here no more lies
And a lot of niggas lost their head in this shit
I'd be damned if I let 'em smoke mine
Promised Maxine I was gon' shine
Get my bands up, cop the X7
On the highway and that hoe flyin'
Money, power, fame make a hoe blind
And the vibes be so fake
So showing love feel weird
Fuck the opps and the jakes
I wish my thug was still here
We got no remorse
We send them slugs for them tears
I got my back against the wall
I think my trust disappeared

Don't give a fuck what nah nigga say
Couldn't let that chance get away
Need ten hundred bands in the safe
Only ten-year friends in the wraith
You got no friends in this race
Bro you gotta understand niggas fake
Knock 'em off if they stand in the way
Shorties hoppin' out vans with the 'k
I done seen my own mans turn to snakes
Done see my own mans tell the jakes
I know god got plans for me now
Because he put bands on the plate
One static put bands on his face
Bet he gon' understand we don't play
First nigga try to reach, say it now
He gon' die where he stand here today

I done been through it, I seen a lot
Made it out now I feel like I want it all
Money been coming in gotta stack it tall
If you build your shit right it won't ever fall
I don't know about y'all but I gotta ball
When I get in my bag, I just hit the mall
Way before you gon' walk niggas gotta crawl
Nigga saying he gang, well I don't recall
Tryna make sure my team right
Each, every nigga gon' go if I give him that green light
He front of the scene pipes
Shooters right here little boy what you mean fight?
Savage even if I seem nice
I know niggas taking my Glizzy the beam tight
No movin' the scheme tight
Gucci the minimum, Amiri, my jean tight
And I gotta eat now
I know momma happy her son on his feet now
I'm bringing the heat now
For 2020 I be shutting the streets
Lil Tjay a beast now
I got up my Birkin watch everyone feast now
I mean this from deep down
Don't try to come rob me, you see me don't speak down

Don't give a fuck what nah nigga say
Couldn't let that chance get away
Need ten hunnid bands in the safe
Only ten-year friends in the wraith
You got no friends in this race
Bro you gotta understand niggas fake
Knock 'em off if they stand in the way
Shorties hoppin' out vans with the 'k

Gang, gang, gang
No oh, oh
Oh no, oh
Oh no, no, whoa
Yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh




Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

In “First Place,” Polo G delivers a message about the importance of loyalty and trust while navigating through the dangerous streets of his hometown of Chicago. The song opens with Polo G dismissing the opinions of others, stating that he couldn’t care less what anyone says as he works to achieve his goals. He emphasizes the need to have ten-hundred bands (one million dollars) in the safe and to surround himself with only ten-year friends in the wraith (a type of luxury car), illustrating his desire to accumulate wealth and protect it by keeping only his closest, most trusted friends around him.


Throughout the song, Polo G expresses a deep distrust of those around him, confessing the disappointment and betrayal he has faced from people he once considered his friends. He describes how he’s seen “his own mans turn to snakes” and “tell the jakes” (referring to the police) about their illicit activities, causing Polo G to fear that anyone could be a traitor. He takes a hard line against anyone who might stand in his way, claiming he would “knock ‘em off” if they do. In the end, Polo G focuses on his own success, rapping about coming up from the bottom and achieving his dreams in order to honor himself and the memory of those who have passed on.

[Intro: Lil TJay]
Oh
Oh no
Oh

[Chorus: Polo G, Lil Tjay]
Don't give a fuck what nah nigga say
Couldn't let that chance get away
Need ten hundred bands in the safe
Only take your friends in the Wraith
You got no friends in this race
Bro you gotta understand niggas fake
Knock 'em off if they stand in the way
Shawty hopping off vans with the K
I done, I done, I done seen my own friends tryna snake
Had to see my own mans telling jakes
I know God got plans for me now
Because he put bands on the plate
One static put bands on his face
Bet he gon' understand we don't play
First nigga try to reach, say it now
He gon' die where he stand here today

[Verse 1: Polo G]
I was passing out dog food in them dope lines
Streets voucher for me, fuck a co-sign
When we gang banging we tote iron
You earn respect with a 45
Imma let it spark when it's show time
2014 when my bro died
Seen a lot of niggas really won't ride
Wanna see you smile one more time
Gotta damage hard I done had enough
I don't wanna here no more lies
And a lot of niggas lost their head in this shit
I'd be damned if I let 'em smoke mine
Promised Maxine I was gon' shine
Get my bands up, cop the X7
On the highway and that hoe flyin'
Money, power, fame make a hoe blind
And the vibes be so fake
So showing love feel weird
Fuck the opps and the jakes
I wish my thug was still here
We got no remorse
We send them slugs for them tears
I got my back against the wall
I think my trust disappeared


[Chorus: Polo G, Lil Tjay]
Don't give a fuck what nah nigga say
Couldn't let that chance get away
Need ten hundred bands in the safe
Only take your friends in the Wraith
You got no friends in this race
Bro you gotta understand niggas fake
Knock 'em off if they stand in the way
Shawty hopping off vans with the K
I done, I done, I done seen my own friends tryna snake
Had to see my own mans telling jakes
I know God got plans for me now
Because he put bands on the plate
One static put bands on his face
Bet he gon' understand we don't play
First nigga try to reach, say it now
He gon' die where he stand here today

[Verse 2: Lil TJay]
I done been through it, I seen a lot
Made it out now I feel like I want it all
Money been coming in gotta stack it tall
If you build your shit right it won't ever fall
I don't know about y'all but I gotta ball
