Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ice tray, young nigga flooded (ice ice ice, yeah)
If a nigga hatin', call him Joe Budden (pussy)
Coupe outside and it's press button (skrt skrt)
Got that nigga mad 'cause your bitch fuckin' (hah)
Fuck it, ice tray the gang (fuck it), ice tray the gang (woo)
Ice tray the gang (ice), ice tray the gang
Fuck it, ice tray the gang (woo), ice tray the gang (ice)
Ice tray the gang (yeah), ice tray the gang, fuck it

Alexander Wang, wrist Eddie Cane
Drop top McLaren, park it at the Flame
Think I was insane, what my jeweler bring
Higher than Kurt Cobain, Huncho Bruce Wayne
Big boy Patek and it's scaley
Six ringtones on the celly
You did your ice wrong, go to Elliot
Splash on the wrist, J Reddick
I got a bag of drugs no medic
These niggas drinking on straight synthetic
I ain't tryna fuck no bitch that's petty
Skrt on the ho like Andrettis
It'll lock up if you wet it
Choppin' it up like machete
Swerve in the Junction, Spaghetti (swerve)
Come to the Nawf if you ready (Nawf)
If 'Set say he set then I set it ('Set)
If Take' say he set then I set it (Take')
Shoot for my niggas like Belly (shoot)
Shoot for my niggas like Belly (baow)

Ice tray, young nigga flooded (ice ice ice, yeah)
If a nigga hatin', call him Joe Budden (pussy)
Coupe outside and it's press button (skrt skrt)
Got that nigga mad 'cause your bitch fuckin' (hah)
Fuck it, ice tray the gang (fuck it), ice tray the gang (woo)
Ice tray the gang (ice), ice tray the gang
Fuck it, ice tray the gang (woo), ice tray the gang (ice)
Ice tray the gang (yeah), ice tray the gang, fuck it

Uhh, ayy, diamonds look like candy corn
Sent a chain to Melbourne, no mail, it's airborne
Diamond on the chain with the flash like it's shootin' porn
Five karat ring, them lil' pointers tell me where you're goin'
Chopper sing like Anita Baker
Hang around the neck when I fuck, Undertaker
If my diamonds had a voice it would sound like Fantasia
Two million dollars on my jewelry, big appraisal
Um, nigga ball like DeRozan, huh
AP skelly fully frozen, huh
Right wrist 'cause commotion
Big rocks on my wrist, so white need a whole pint of lotion
Diamonds be wet like the ocean
Want to watch like this pussy, it's gon' cost you 'bout a pretty token
Big karats and they pokin'

Ice tray, young nigga flooded (ice ice ice, yeah)
If a nigga hatin', call him Joe Budden (pussy, fuckin' pussy)
Coupe outside and it's press button (skrt skrt)
Got that nigga mad 'cause your bitch fuckin' (hah)
Fuck it, ice tray the gang (fuck it), ice tray the gang (woo)
Ice tray the gang (ice), ice tray the gang




Fuck it, ice tray the gang (woo), ice tray the gang (ice)
Ice tray the gang (yeah), ice tray the gang, fuck it
