TWO-J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Need a amg Benz all red Range Rover
All my ops turn to ashes I feel like a flame thrower
Seen my nigga break a brick down like a bull dozer
Had to sleep inside a cell last time I pulled over
Police tryna speak to me I’m tryna look sober
Double C sneakers wit a Gucci pull over
Don’t get stuck inside the hood go and take da hood over
I don't let shit fly bitch like a bird cage
I'ma hit the gas burn the tank
My nigga down the road wit a shank
Nigga that's a prop gun you be shootin blanks
When I'm in New York wear my hat like a yankee
Bitin my style lil nigga betta thank me
One in the head and that shit ain on safety
My ops throwin tantrums I’m sleep like a baby
Pop my shit like grease
Designer shoes they be hurtin my feet
Might take em back so I kept the receipt
That's not a cat it don’t say srt
I got a drum on this arp
Turn up the notch let that shit pre heat
Bring in the racks money counter go beep
Stackin these hunnits it’s taller than me
Uh
Comin up short cause your pockets petit
Pour up a eight fall asleep then repeat
She think i need her but I disagree
I need a pint
I pick up a sixteen
I’m wit sum Big B’s they gone let that bitch sting
Your bitch keep callin I let that bitch ring
Look at theese VV’s my diamonds go bling
Forgiattos lift the coup up like wings
My diamonds in 3D
Light up the room bitch I feel like a tv
Drop a deuce in my sweet tea
I get so high bitch I'm outta here wheezy
And I'm still rockin BB's
She hear deluxe and she put it on repeat
Fill my blunt up with three g's
Smokin exotic this shit look like seaweed
Pop the hood it’s a super charged motor
Need a amg Benz, all red Range Rover
All my ops turn to ashes I feel like a flame thrower
Seen my nigga break a brick down like a bull dozer
Had to sleep inside a cell last time I pulled over
Police tryna speak to me I’m tryna look sober
Double C sneakers wit a Gucci pull over
Don’t get stuck inside the hood, go and take da hood over
Pop the hood it’s a super charged motor
Need a amg Benz all red Range Rover
All my ops turn to ashes I feel like a flame thrower
Seen my nigga break a brick down like a bull dozer
Had to sleep inside a cell last time I pulled over
Police tryna speak to me, I’m tryna look sober
Double C sneakers wit a Gucci pull over
Don’t get stuck inside the hood go and take da hood over
