Ruben Paz feat. Kap G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to be broke bitches never showed me love so I pulled up in that foreign when took it out the lot
Rolling with my cudi taught me how to bust a knock
Knew it wasn't for me when I seen my first rock
Used to get that paper then fucked it in my sock
Ever since a youngin I been into getting gwap
Way way
You ain't talking money you just talking reckless Im whats popping now you ain't get to the message
I been taking blessings like interceptions
Yeah I made a lot you don't see me flexin
Keep it on the low gotta keep em guessin
I been putting work since an adolescent
Didn't need luck this was truly destin
I know that they wanna see me fail
I just got a check in the mail
I know that they mad I could tell
I just spent it all on myself
Money ain't a thing I got it out the mud never had a cent can't forget who I was
Used to be broke bitches never showed me love so I pulled up in that foreign when took it out the lot
I remember way back, way back
Never had a thing so I had to change that
I remember way back, way back
Never had a cent so I had to make that
(Kap G)
Ima take you way back talkin wave caps
I been rolling up that gas you know I blaze that
Keep it no less than hundred yeah I cant fake that and Ima pull up in the hood when I get that Maybach
Swear my mama used to pray that one day I'll make it
I been going trough the same shit, no more basic I told little bro he got the talent please don't waste it
They tried to knock me off my balance
Why they sending hatred Im probably trynna dodge your main hoe like the matrix
Success will always be my main goal, Im so anxious
I just want that bank roll for being famous
And in my hood it be the same ole, fuck that fake shit (fuck that fake shit)
They pull up and take shit
They going ape shit swear Im a friend I want that green, I am not racist
Ay Why you haters tryna stop my operation (Why you hate...)
Deep down inside Kap G your inspiration
(Ruben Paz)
Money aint a thing, I got it out the mud never had a cent, can't forget who I was
Used to be broke bitches never showed me love so I pulled up in that foreign when took it out the lot
I remember way back way back
Never had a thing so I had to change that
I remember way back way back
Never had a cent so I had to make that (make that make that...)
Money ain't a thing
I got it out the mud
