Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

OK
Bitch I'm me, American gangsta
Weezy F baby, born in a manger
Trouble is my friend,

Clip full of wings,
Turn you boys into angels
Shoot ya in your halo,

New Orleans A-hole,
Flee-o, Fuego
All about my bread like bagels, they know
I'm raw like Qualo,
Ball like gay hoes
Weed so strong
Its like I twist tornadoes
Spit like 9's,
4 5th's, and 3 8 oh's
Niggas want problems,
Well I am problematic
It's back to pickin' cotton
Cause you niggas cotton candy
I'ma east side damu,
Deep water Shamu
Shoot you from your head to your shoulders, shampoo
Kush and the bamboo,
Pussy in the bedroom
Pass that bitch down like an heirloom,
Tunechi
