Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a underground king living major
I tell a bad bitch I just want to taste you
Road to the riches, ride for it, tryna race you
For this paper I'ma draw this pistol on you then erase you
I done came from nothing, I'm the motherfucking man now
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man
All my niggas stand up, ain't looking for no hand outs
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man, man

I be with all of the gangsters who really be killing shit
You rappers be flexing and faking, we don't want to hear that shit
These pussy niggas gon' get tense like I'm rubbing the clitoris
My index finger get to itching and that's the one that I pull the trigger with
We terminating the target regardless
All these niggas with me now be the hardest
I ain't no motherfucking starving artist
Ride around town like I'm Marvin the Martian
Pop a seal, pop a pill, pop a pussy, nigga never think twice about it
I ain't really do it, I don't write about it
We some shooters nigga, we don't fight about it
These niggas say that they robbers, we don't believe that
The crooked regardless, I just want to know where the green at
Drinking dirty, got to call a janitor to clean that
I ain't changing with it, I'm a gangster bitch and I mean that

I'm a underground king living major
I tell a bad bitch I just want to taste you
Road to the riches, ride for it, tryna race you
For this paper I'ma draw this pistol on you then erase you
I done came from nothing, I'm the motherfucking man now
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man, man
All my niggas stand up, ain't looking for no hand outs
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man, man

Yeah I roll with big faces, all these different faces
Counting big faces, skirt pucker races
My bitch is from Egypt, all these bitches basic
Cartier to buffies, all up on their faces
That bitch she all on my dick and you know she eat that
My nigga Skeme, screaming SooWoo, he bleed that
That nigga talk shit, punch in his face, want his teeth back
Codeine got me feeling like I'm Fat Joe so I lean back
Rocking these Tom Fords, taking these Xannys, I see black
A pussy, a pussy, and you is a pussy, that's three cats
My Uzi got a super long clip like three MACs
Was fucking that bitch, super fucking that bitch, pull out three tracks

I'm a underground king living major
I tell a bad bitch I just want to taste you
Road to the riches, ride for it, tryna race you
For this paper I'ma draw this pistol on you then erase you
I done came from nothing, I'm the motherfucking man now
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man




All my niggas stand up, ain't looking for no hand outs
Yeah, I'm the motherfucking man, man
