Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get back, man, yeah, we infamous
I'ma need it now, 'cause I need it on time
Money spread fast like the rumors online
Double up again, made it twice without tryin'
Dolla sign on my mind
Pon up di road, hot like pepper
Stop for the bag, I'll meet up on the way
Straight in a motion, gotta make a play
Hurry up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Hurry up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up (woop)
(Myke Towers, baby)
Oh no, mira quien llegó
La picó la araña y el veneno se regó
Trepando paredes mira como se elevó
Dinero de más, la funda que se llevó
Sirili oh-oh-oh
Si hay dinero voy-oy-oy
No lo dejes para mañana hazlo hoy-oy-oy
Cada vez que me lo pida se lo doy-oy-oy
Y más si lo mueve al ritmo del dembow-ow-ow
Ellos roncan, ellos roncan, ellos roncan que son duros
Ellos roncan, ellos roncan, ellos roncan que son duros
Ellos roncan, ellos roncan, ellos roncan que son duros
Pero no-oh-oh, sí
Oh, oh
Young Kingz Baby
