Takin' Shots
Post Malone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waitin' on the plug, but he ain't come yet (yet)
Still need somethin'? Put your bank on it (bank on it)
Got a big bag with a Bape on it
Party ain't over if they say somethin' (say somethin')
No sleep 'til I've seen three suns
Party gon' end with a threesome
Raw dog, prolly have three sons
They go to work for some money, we make it from actin' out
Grrrrrah, we takin' shots right now
Grrrrrah, yeah, we takin' shots right now
See me in a 'Rari goin' vroom-vroom (skrrt skrrt)
Sexy motherfucker in the car too
Saint Laurent, 40 on a new suit
Sippin' Bud Light, that's the new Goose
Baby bust it open like woah-oh
The diamonds got cut like a boo-boo
Pockets so fat, rock a muu-muu
Me and Dre came for the pum pum
Drippin', drippin', drippin', women tryna take my millions
Help my bro with Hannah since I'm Jason Williams (White Chocolate)
Heard that there's a party, I might pay a visit
That's a moment, hopped out frog like ribbit, ribbit (skrrt)
Drunk when I walked in the door
So fuckin' high like, "Hello"
I told her pour me some more
Then she went right for the blow (the blow)
30 more girls wanna roll
Let's get this bitch on the road (on the road)
Already losin' control, this is the life that we chose
Drinkin' all night, but we ain't done yet (yet)
Waitin' on the plug, but he ain't come yet (yet)
Still need somethin'? Put your bank on it (bank on it)
Got a big bag with a Bape on it
Party ain't over if they say somethin' (say somethin')
No sleep 'til I've seen three suns
Party gon' end with a threesome
Raw dog, prolly have three sons
Chasin' the Perc' with somebody, that shit never lets me down
They go to work for some money, we make it from actin' out
Grrrrrah, we takin' shots right now
Grrrrrah, yeah, we takin' shots right now
Frontin' on me, but you love it (love it)
Tryna act like you above it ('bove it)
Everybody know you wanna rub it (rub it)
Have you ever done it in public?
Sippin' all night, let it rotate
Baby, just for the night, you my soulmate
Mixin' vodka with the champagne
Tell me how much liquor can a man take
How many records have I sold?
I don't even know, can't keep count (nope)
You know that I've been on a roll
Celebratin' life when I come around (come around)
Sippin' all night, sippin' all day
Brought the beerbong out like a tailgate
All these big words that I can't say
Got me speakin' drunkanese, can you translate?
Drunk when I walked in the door
So fuckin' high like, "Hello"
I told her pour me some more
Then she went right for the blow (the blow)
30 more girls wanna roll
Let's get this bitch on the road (on the road)
Already losin' control, this is the life that we chose
Drinkin' all night, but we ain't done yet (yet)
Waitin' on the plug, but he ain't come yet (yet)
Still need somethin'? Put your bank on it (bank on it)
Got a big bag with a Bape on it
Party ain't over if they say somethin' (say somethin')
No sleep 'til I've seen three suns
Party gon' end with a threesome

Chasin' the Perc' with somebody, that shit never lets me down
They go to work for some money, we make it from actin' out
Grrrrrah, we takin' shots right now
Grrrrrah, yeah, we takin' shots right now
