Te-Deum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye it's Te' in this bitch
Walked in the party with that thang on my hip
Watch what you do and what you Say in this bitch
Got a lot bitches I ain't never been a simp
Ima playa drop a dime to the homie tho
I ain't tripping cuz a nigga got 4 mo
Add it up that's my 40 tuck on the low
Got a problem be quiet or get your brains blown
Left hand dominate
My aura so ominous
Big tall nigga I ain't gotta show my dominance
Bitch crazy if she that I'm monogamous
Real nigga you can tell from my confidence
Talk money got no time for Incompetence
Bright future yea the shit is kinda promising
Bad bitch yea hit her in my moccasins
Smoke a blunt and elevate to higher place
Fire head she giving me by the fireplace
Long run it's a marathon not race
Beam me up I'm on my way up to outer space
Hit my line but only on cyber space

Yea yea I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You Niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that
Bitch tripping
Yea yea ion like that
Yea ion like that
I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that
Yea I don't like that
I don't like that

I drop a 4 with some 420 in my lungs
I'm not the one to play with shit I'm all about my funds
Before slide I gotta grab my gun
I gotta make it home to my mf son
Niggas be wasting time for the perfect time
To do the perfect crime
Money causing friction
the homie just dropped the dime
But I'm flipping quarters tho
I gotta couples hoes that be on the stroll
One in particular bad lil bitch
Call her Brainiac
Full ride scholarship
Look my other bitch with all the bullshit
She like slanging bricks and emptying full clips
Look my baddest bitch is a sticky situation
Setting niggas up and sending me the location
Fuck around leave you shaking pavement
My advise is bitch don't miss a payment

Yea yea I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You Niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that
Bitch tripping
Yea yea ion like that
Yea ion like that
I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that
Yea I don't like that
I don't like that

Lights cameras flashing
Shit I'm the main attraction
Cuz I'm really with the action
I'm Something like a savage
Built for the challenge
Better than the average
Ima wreak a lil havoc
Cause a lot damage
Hands is so certified
Known for crossing my T's and dotting I's
I don't really like to shoot unless it's do or die
So if you really wit the shit catch a homicide

Yea yea I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You Niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that
Bitch tripping
Yea yea ion like that
Yea ion like that
I don't like that
Talk crazy
Yea yea I don't like that
You niggas tripping
Yea yea I don't like that




Yea I don't like that
I don't like that
