Streets
Shaybo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need a gangsta, I am one
I spent 40 racks on the chain and 10 racks on my wigs
That's why I'm lookin' badder than your bitch
My nigga I'm lit, I don't need a gangsta, I am one
You brought 10 racks, I brought 300,000
I got three phones but I'm legit, baby
South city, baby, I'm cheeky, baby
If you want me to shut up then make me baby!
He said he want my chocolate spread but do not tell her
'Cause I wrap him girl then I rock her fella
Uh, boy I'm just as rude as I look
Even got the mandem shook
All I do is flip that paper, flip it like a page in the book
I ain't even takin' a look
Niggas know to pay me in full
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Uh, how you tryna take charge when you ain't the plug?
You know who I be, I don't need no buzz
Bitch try take me for a mug
I'ma deck her on the road like a bus
I be rollin' with the thugs
I order Jollof rice in delux
I run from Olopa with the drugs
I smoke a whole zed on my ones
'Cause I got the funds, bitch
Shaybo be the baddest on her ones
Gotta flick in my wig, baby, I don't need no guns
No cap, huh, keep him on track, he do the runs
Baby I run the hooligans, uh
Bitch I'm the youngest of the olders
Shaybo from the streets now she rappin' on the MOBOs
Stormzy called me queen, it upset a lot of hobos
But do soemthin', bozos!
Look, I got proof in my photos
How am I 'self-proclaimed' when the streets know who I be?
40 racks on my chain, bitch, do it like me
I really own all the shit I put on my IG
So no one should ever call me their YG
Shaybo really gang gang
The baddest, that's the hashtag
No photos, bitch
I don't do the Snapchat
No cap rap, huh
