Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back up Q back in town, I'm next up
Draked up, with ya kicks laced up
Niggas can't face us, hoes want to chase us
Cruise through the city no
Worries nigga I'm untouched, uncut
Top dawg money shit, stay with a money clip
USA today olympics shit the way my money flip
Double back
Got a nigga trippin off a double stack
Hundred racks, spend it ain't nothing
Toying my money back
Easily, I'm hot, imagine what my temper be
With out a doubt I'm cold
Blooded so it balance out
These niggas I'm calling out, home of
These fake ass wannabe rap niggas
Wanna be thug niggas
Face on it too nigga? what you a fool
Nigga? I'll give you the blues nigga
I carry the flu nigga, the locest G
Top ranking nigga
Its GED fresh outta jail and
I'm already in your OG, me nigga!

Niggas always talking the young clap
Well lil muthafuckas I'm bout

Kill your mans over a bitch nigga

Doing this shit often my nigga 50 era
I'm causing terrors to any rapper that
Active and claiming they factors
Bring ya to the light
While punching out your sight get it right
Rock the microphone yeah I spit it tight
Easily, ain't no other rapper
Fucking with me evenly two advanced
Gucci belt while I'm sagging my pants
Rap confession, yall hearing my progression
Seen the most money in my life in a recession
I'm that real
Plus I make the music that kids feel
Hope I ain't the reason they pop steel
But anyway you niggas get popped still
Leave a nigga mouth with a chopped grill
GED nigga we that ill, I'm lyrically in it
I'm in it to win it
Money, we spend it, sins is repented
Little nigga, I’m finished, gone

Niggas always talking the young clap
Well lil muthafuckas I'm bout
That, bitch nigga, bitch nigga
We back a fourth with the shit, nigga

Fists nigga, bitch nigga, bitch nigga
I swear to god that you a bitch nigga
Kill your mans over a bitch nigga

If you're feeling real good
Put your hands in the air
Hands in the air, hands in the air!
And if you feel like you a muthafuckin
Motherfuckin player
Hands in the air, hands in the air!
And if you really don't, really don't
Really give a care
Hands in the air, hands in the air!
If you feel what I'm saying, keep
Your hands in the air, hands in the air
Hands in the motherfucking air!





Fuck you niggas man, Chea! Q!
Q! T-D-E, Nigga!
