Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pussies don't get pussy
Yeah
I murdered all of my foes contract killing
Twenty k will get ya grandmamy pinned to the ceiling
Midst of the war I piss on graves
Never could imagine it living with perellis
Should of check ya rear view made a better resonance
Wack yayo caught him slipping while he snort dust
Cold blood bullet hit him like a tour bus
Check the time on my bevardo my jazzy bitch in milano
With niggas pay me the model
Sway Louis on my feet still running the street
And I never missed a heartbeat
Family over the money
Money over the bitches
Money don't mean nothing
And why they calling it riches
Im addicted to watches
Mama telling me stop it
Got 1 over 50
50 you better watching
Do him in cold blood
Look him in his eyes may do him with no gloves
Beat the case like orinfa
Above the law its so hard to pin the big dog
Live on so I still bark
In my earliest advance I'ma kill ya
Make a lil' cake haters wanna envy
God wanna see you niggas in a Bentley
Family over the money
Money over the bitches
Money don't mean nothing
And why they calling it riches
I'm addicted to watches
Mama telling me stop it
Got 1 over 50
And keep 50 in my pocket
Limousines for the don I'ma three as the charme
Flee red carpet chilling e on my arm
Purple rain smoking haze smoking weed call it purple brain
I'm in the purple label daddy got a purple heart
Not in the service but I'm swerving in a purple car
Whats the bitch needed all changed
I go and buy a new one cause I'm sport man
Family over the money
Money over the bitches
Money don't mean nothing
And why they calling it riches
I'm addicted to watches
Mama telling me stop it
You know I'm totin the rocket
So don't make a nigga popping

I killed all my enemies by professional killing
Twenty k will get ya grandmamy pinned to the ceiling
For $20k, I can put your grandmother on the ceiling as a hostage
Midst of the war I piss on graves
While at war, I disrespect my enemies by urinating on their graves

Check the time on my bevardo my jazzy bitch in milano
I am so wealthy that I have valuable possessions like a Beverly Hills watch and an attractive woman in Milan
With niggas pay me the model
I use my money to control other people
Sway Louis on my feet still running the street
I'm still hustling even though I wear expensive shoes
And I never missed a heartbeat
I have never backed down from any challenge

My family is more important than my wealth
Money over the bitches
Money is more important than women
Money don't mean nothing

Why do people consider wealth to be riches?

Look him in his eyes may do him with no gloves
I might kill him with my bare hands while looking in his eyes
Beat the case like orinfa
I overcame the legal system like a successful rapper Orinfa
Above the law its so hard to pin the big dog
I am above the law and cannot be easily caught
Live on so I still bark
I am still living and strong despite challenges
In my earliest advance I'ma kill ya
I will kill my enemies as soon as I can
Make a lil' cake haters wanna envy
My wealth makes my enemies envious
God wanna see you niggas in a Bentley
God wants you to be successful and ride a Bentley
Limousines for the don I'ma three as the charme
I am the boss, and I ride in limousines with beautiful women
Flee red carpet chilling e on my arm
I attend prestigious events with my beautiful woman
Purple rain smoking haze smoking weed call it purple brain
I am smoking weed and feeling high
I'm in the purple label daddy got a purple heart
I am wearing a luxury brand and my father was a decorated soldier
Not in the service but I'm swerving in a purple car
I am not in military service but ride in a luxury car
Whats the bitch needed all changed
If my woman needs something, I'll buy it
I go and buy a new one cause I'm sport man
I can buy new things because I am wealthy
You know I'm totin the rocket
You know I carry a gun
So don't make a nigga popping
Don't make me angry or violent
