Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm standing at a table full of bottles
I'm standing at a table full of robbers
Trust me nigga, you don't want no problems
You gon' make them choppas blocka-blocka yea
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga

I'm try'na put some money in my pocket
The dough look good when I drop it, yea
The pack then I take off like a rocket
When I get it poppin', you can't stop it yea
When I'm in the pussy, I'mma boss
When I get started you can't stop it
Man, I swear to god that pussy awesome
Them gangster women love it when I pop it
I'm like a pitbull, I'm a doggy
All the flexin', boy you need to stop it
I'm never switchin' up, man I promise
I'm grindin', try'na stack a hunnid commas

I'm standing at a table full of bottles
I'm standing at a table full of robbers
Trust me nigga, you don't want no problems
You gon' make them choppas blocka-blocka yea
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga

I make these haters mad, I hurt their stomachs
Them niggas heard that I was doin' numbers, yea
I take yo bitch and put dick all up in her stomach
The shit so good, I had her doin' jumping jacks
I'm like a fucking lion out the jungle
If a nigga try me, I'mma drop 'em
If he wanna go by me, I won't stop 'em
I'm fucking with the plug, I'mma a psychic
Quit playin' with me ho, you need to stop it
King pin but the callin' me [?]
When they drop it off, I'mma cop a Maserati
Pitbull, man I'm such a fuckin' doggy

I'm standing at a table full of bottles
I'm standing at a table full of robbers
Trust me nigga, you don't want no problems
You gon' make them choppas blocka-blocka yea
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga

If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'
If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin' nigga
