Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody just turned twenty-one, you know what that means
You know what that means, you know, you know
You could have whatever you want
You can do whatever you want
Somebody sure got a birthday, somebody gon' turn eighteen
Somebody gon' turned twenty-one, you know what that means
You know what that means, you know, you know
I'm too rich for these young niggas
Too slick for these old hoes
Chick says she mine though
My Snapchat says she not though
Four million on gold chains
Ten million on bottles
They ain't never get this live, though
Shit, Ma$e hit the lotto
About four million in gold chains, 'bout ten million in bottles
They ain't never get this live, though
This live, this live, this live, this live
Penthouse to the helicopter to the plane to the Rolls
To the elevator, to the floor until you say you can't take it no more
You know what that means
You know what that means, you know, you know, know
You could have whatever you want
Twenty-one, you know what that means
You know I'm no stoopy for cutie
You know that her booty be super like Sonic
You know it's ironic, I'm hot as the climate
Flow has been tarnished, I glow like a diamond
And can I be honest? My gin has no tonic
I treat it like legend
But I been iconic, now back to chronic
Back to the numb in the boat
Back to the murder we know
About four million in gold chains, 'bout ten million in bottles
They ain't never get this live, though
This live, this live, this live, this live
Four million in gold chains, four, four million in gold chains
'Bout four million in gold chains, 'bout ten million in bottles
They ain't never get this live, though
They ain't never get this live, though
They ain't never get this live, though
They ain't never get this live, though
The lyrics of "$4000000" by Steve Aoki, Bad Royale, Ma$e, and Big Gigantic revolve around the lavish lifestyle of rich and famous people. The opening lines talk about someone's birthday, and then the attention shifts to someone turning 18 or 21, which implies the legal age limit for drinking in the US. The lyrics suggest that when you're rich, you can have whatever you want and do whatever you want, including being surrounded by gold chains, expensive alcohol, and luxurious amenities.
The chorus repeats the phrase "you know what that means" and emphasizes the idea that being 21 means you can have anything you want, which is repeated throughout the track. Ma$e's verse collaborates with Aoki's wealth and his lavish lifestyle, highlighting how he has spent millions on gold chains and even more on champagne bottles.
The track paints a picture of excessive wealth and a luxurious lifestyle, with references to helicopters, private planes, Rolls Royces, and elaborate parties. The lyrics also touch on the difference between the old flames and new conquests, as well as on the fact that life experiences come with age.

So many legends on one track. From Mase to Steve. Plus Bad Royale and Big Gigantic are fire.
LemonadePrime
I can watch Mase do that 1998 wave/shake for the next 20 years as well as the last 20. Most young cats can't appreciate everything going on in this song. Saxophone was awesome! Heard this in the strip club last night, no clue how I hadn't heard it before. DOPE!
