T.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I learned to ass trap, multiply and defy, while I'm
Handlin' my business
There's a drought in the city, country nigga got the pies I'm
Handlin' my business
They say I gotta keep it modest, errbody talk about it
Nigga tilt that coke, stack the tallest stone mountains
Pretty soon you can get it, but ya bet' not trap my clique or we'll be
Handlin' my business

Catch shawty drive so fast through the hood, Hundalay, on the dash
Fuck a nigga hatin' on me let em know we get cash
Keep playin', we gon' pull up with em sticks on yo ass
Not broke, fire ladders and get hit on yo ass
Talk about me and the rep, fuck it, ain't nobody trippin'
Row 6, Cali niggas, errbody thing I'm priviledged
Hustle Gang bang green, nigga, anybody get it
We handlin' our business

I learned to ass trap, multiply and defy, while I'm
Handlin' my business
There's a drought in the city, country nigga got the pies I'm
Handlin' my business
They say I gotta keep it modest, errbody talk about it
Nigga tilt that coke, stack the tallest stone mountains
Pretty soon you can get it, but ya bet' not trap my clique or we'll be
Handlin' my business

Hey, 100 k at the house, 100 bricks at the trap
100 Choppa come out if nigga tryin' my city
100 Nigga with choppa who want a problem with that?!
You wanna talk crazy, do it, I got no problem with that
Man that littl' bitty deal that you be tryna connect
I run through that in a day, boy let me show you a check
If I keep flowin' yo game, wouldn't I be showin' ya respect?
Come out yo face when I see ya just like me hold ya a check
We call it time after time come and jump that shawty
So dime after dime till the real dawg call it
A quarter Mill our cars on a run flash shawty
Tell ya lookin' for sum' dough, I know it's alright homie
Clear yo muthafuckin' nose till ya run that show
We more than errthang below, yeah, I run that show
We bustin' too gettin' dough, yeah, I done that shawty I be
Handlin' my business

I learned to ass trap, multiply and defy, while I'm
Handlin' my business
There's a drought in the city, country nigga got the pies I'm
Handlin' my business
They say I gotta keep it modest, errbody talk about it
Nigga tilt that coke, stack the tallest stone mountains




Pretty soon you can get it, but ya bet' not trap my clique or we'll be
Handlin' my business
