Acapella
Royce da 5'9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A bullet in the head reminds me of the first time my nigga Pharrell came around me wearing that goddamn trucker hat
To me, that shit only looks good on you
So, goddamn it, I don′t fuck with that
Niggas is fucking lameos, I wanna see you dead
Fuck you mean, you ain't gay?
You get more anal than a sneaker head
It′s Thanksgiving, it's turkey time, pick up an Indian midget
Flip him and dip his turban in turpentine
I'm fly, my mic is like a star
Lady Liberty herself can light my cigar
I can′t lose, come through with them bruisers
We all got furs on like we at the fight with Frank Lucas
My clip′ll buck at you, I'll fuck a bitch, let her suck my dick
You? You sweat her, Cliff Huxtable
Y′all niggas tense in this bitch, you carry guns for self defense
I play off-fence with this bitch
I don't stop beefing until I hear sirens
I′ll eat you before I get a meal, like five wings
Your momma got a kickstand on her fucking leg
And she drink sizzurp, I call her Eileen
I'm a hustler, clean you up
If I say that I′m flipping the bird
It doesn't mean that I'm putting my middle finger up
Walking out with cash, every day, you bitch niggas
Y′all ain′t shit, y'all just talking out your ass
I′m like the 80's, ho, your wife nipple look like a little baby toe
I′m 'bout to life the shotty, bullets hit your body
It′s gon' be a long Talladega Night, Ricky Bobby
I spit 100% pure, Whitney, Bobby
Fuck bitches, all I do is fuck bitches
She in my hotel room at 1, 1:10, she in the lobby
The pump's the shotty
So tell your momma find me in your city high
And I′m prolly gon′ be drunker than Robby
I got a new college bitch, she be like:
"Yeah, we should get together sometime
Maybe go to a party and dance."
I said: "Yeah, that'd be a no, cause I′m not a partying man
But I'll definitely still put you on the list for the party in my pants."
I got a hustler flow
For fifty mil, I will drink Manny Pacquiao′s blood
And watch my muscles grow
You bitch, {gunshots} it's what you get




I got a fetish for cheddar cheese, lettuce, and spinach
I′m in the best fucking rap group ever iinvente
