Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up!

Two more drinks, bet she go in, for sure (Two)
Low key dates, uh, nobody knows (No, nobody)
Get your rake 'cause there's money on the floor (Money)
Get your gang 'cause they hating on the low (Gang)

We can make diamonds shine (Ice) on the darkest nights (Uh!)
She can make diamonds shine (Shine) on the darkest nights

Quavo, Huncho
Big guap (Big guap), streets on lock (Lock it up)
They gone flock (They gone what?), nonstop (Nonstop)
I told her pop (I told her who?), soda pop (Twerk)
Forget the cops (Fuck the cops), that's how we rock (How we goin')
This a Glock (That it, that it), you silly opps (Silly)
I got the drop (Got that drop) on your pops (On your daddy)
Drip drop (Drip), get a mop (Get it)
Flood the clock (Flood it), ice box (Ice, ice)
It still leaks like Nene (Leakin')
Let it take some time to heal, Achilles (Marinate)
I put the bitch inside the tee-pee (Hibernate)
She say her hair was indie, you get me?

We can make diamonds shine (Ice) on the darkest nights (Uh!)
She can make diamonds shine (Shine) on the darkest nights

Watch her shine shine then like a VVS (Shine)
She go all kind of ways just to get that check (Go)
She gone do you down bad, hit you with finesse (Finesse)
Why you do that then, why she do the boy like that? (Haha)
Just remember everything she do high-end (high-end)
She can pull lotta strings like a violin (Violin)
Get the front end, break off the back end (breakup)
There she go again, think I seen her twin (Twin)

Let her drive the Lambo that is mine yeah (It mine)
Let's stop at Rodeo I design yeah (Cash)
Make her whip over the stove, no lasagna

You may think they hoes not in my eyes (No way)
This money on the floor fell from the sky (Racks)
I don't have a reason to go tell lies (No cap, no)

Two more drinks, bet she go in, for sure (Two)
Low key dates, uh, nobody knows (No, nobody)
Get your rake 'cause there's money on the floor (Money)
Get your gang 'cause they hating on the low (Gang)

We can make diamonds shine (Ice) on the darkest nights (Uh!)
