BACK 2 BACK
St. Laz & Opium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saint Nickk in this bitch
I been smoking out the oz
Feeling like a wizard, but I'm balling out like Kobe
Rip, Ballin with em hitters
Shooting like Ginobli
Why these niggas always bitter
Tired of these niggas acting like they know me
I digress, put my feelings in a blunt
I'm not stressed, More or less
I've been in my bag lately signing checks
I've been in the game just for bout a minute
Rodman, I been really ballin
I ain't got no regrets
I just keep on walkin, Everyday evolving
Why she recalling all the times we had together
Now she hittin up my line saying we were better
I be creeping through the night with that strap on my waist
Got the gang on my side
We be stayin in our lane
I don't fuck with no fakes
Split the bread like it's cake
I be working everyday
I could never take a break
If you fuck with me, you fucking with your fate
TFDL gotta get it onna chain
If V for Vendetta
Then that B for Beretta
Louis V all up on my sweater
Shoes be double m
That Maison Margiela
I knew these racks make em jealous
Dead presidents all up in my pockets
No GTA but these five stars be wanted
Got my pockets feeling all haunted
Callin ghost busters I just keep on seeing franklins
Going to the bank so much they know me regular
Going to the bank so much they know me as a regular
Cashin out so much they see me as a competitor
When that temperature drops I got my heater
Niggas dropping like some flies where is yo demeanor
Never switch on my brothers call me Itachi
Run up on me you get lit up like habachi
I be counting up the money, do you hear em speakers knocking
Rip to that nigga we be rocking
Me and Abdi in the stu you know that we locked in
Riding in the foreign with that chopstick
Bitch I'm like Blueface I stay with that mop stick
Yeah yeah uh huh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Uh huh yeah yeah yeah
Ay yeah yeah Ay
I've been in the game just for bout a minute
Rodman, I been really ballin
I ain't got no regrets
I just keep on walkin, Everyday evolving
Why she recalling all the times we had together
Now she hittin up my line saying we were better
I be creeping through the night with that strap on my waist
Got the gang on my side
We be stayin in our lane
Dead presidents all up in my pockets
No GTA but these five stars be wanted
Got my pockets feeling all haunted
Callin ghost busters I just keep on seeing franklins
Going to the bank so much they know me regular




Going to the bank so much they know me as a regular
Cashin out so much they see me as a competitor
