Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They wanna know what’s on ya mind
So they can take ya ideas
Don’t let em beat ya
If you broke trust me
I don’t wanna see ya
Don’t wanna be ya
Mind my business
With the homies blowin’ reefa
I raise the meter it get cold
So I’ma stick with the heater
I’m callin’ fly paper
Need it now and not later
Man I’m a fucking paper chaser Staying sharp like a razor
I’m on a mission
Big 19 won’t go missing
And if a nigga acting up
Them hallow tips gon’ be rippin’
Right through his damn brain
Thought you was tough so stop bitching
Since a youngin on the side
Big bro was whippin the kitchen
Remember days locked in the room
I couldn’t go in the kitchen
Now I’m all in the mixes
Without wanting attention
I don’t wanna be a menace
Know for a fact I’m gon‘ kill em
I’m so sorry it had to be this way
I’m filling led in em
And fuck ya feelings
Take one pull and I’ma send you to heaven
Go to church the next Sunday
And I’ma speak to the reverend

I don’t wanna be a menace baby
I don’t wanna be a, nah
Everyday just gets a lil crazy
I don’t wanna be a
See the police tryna stop me
Cause the windows is tinted
How the fuck can you drive clear
When you can go any minute?
I put up vengeance, see the opps
We hit the block and we spin it
See these niggas tryna take me out
They know that we winning
It’s free the opps cause you know
What’ll happen when we see ‘em
You hear them shots that’s 50 each
50 each we gon’ bleed

Think his brothers gon need ‘em?
All we know,
Is we gon finally teach ‘em
And oh nah nigga don’t start Fuckin wit me
Yeah you thinking it’s a fight
I brought the whole gang with me
Niggas tryna take my name
They playing follow the lead
How the fuck you start this war
Then go play hiding go seek
See I just aired his block
I hit the gas and then I ran a red
I ain’t satisfied, fuck it
And I went and spun again
I don’t ever lose
If it’s up I win again
Niggas popping all that shit
I came thru and lit his candle
I don’t wanna be a menace baby
I don’t wanna be a, nah
Everyday just gets a lil crazy

And I’m about to have a baby

Cause if I got it know she got it And that’s just how it go (Hey)

So I’m staying close (Yeah)
And if I got to I’ma have to
I’ma grip the pole (Bang)
For my family know I’m solid Bitch I’m ten toes (Ten, ten)
They too worried ‘bout what I can and what I can’t do
And I could’ve had a body
But it jammed though (Click, click)
And I’m just saying
I’m just tryna make a better way
New problems every week
I never catch a break
They could tell you when I’m Down bitch I’m always great
Niggas sleeping on the kid




Bitch I stay awake
I pray for better days

Lyrics:

Can't hang around if you don't got tough feet
I don't eat fruit so my nut like sweet heat
Nigga so rich, bank lookin' like VC
Walk down, run down on 'em like it's DC
I don't shoot, but I call the shots like a DP
Clip hold twelve like an '05 CD
Summertime, bitches wearin' green like a BP
DD sittin' on her chest, tryna suck me
Whole time, nigga on the phone tryna run down
Bomb down, baby gettin' piped 'til the sun down
Rich nigga take a rich shit on a gold seat
Since then, been a prodigy like Mobb Deep
Say less, nigga, do more 'cause the talk free
Used to punch numbers off an iPhone 5c
White bitch tan, lookin' like an orange Hi-C
Shawty gave top and I rated it a high C
Man, I'm back and I'm better
I gained a lil' weight but I look even better
She give it a lick like she closing a letter
Her friend tryna fuck, but she ugly so never, never
Goin' back broke, AR with the scope
I bought a lil' tote, it cost me a dime
Cut that boy off, I'm seeing the signs
You can't hang around if you don't pay the fine
Get put on the plate, lookin' like swine
Who bitch is this? Finna be mine
Got her on her knees like she at the shrine
Three M's with jewelry be clear, uh (Hey)
Take off your ice, give it here (Come on with that)
Four hundred, this 'Rari in gear (Skrrt)
Back in the Maybach, lay back, hit the sheer (Lay back)
Stare in his eyes and we don't got no fear (Who?)
Shawty got popped and they say it's severe (Baow, baow, who?)
Who did it? Boy, we don't even know (We don't know)
I made na F on my test, F on my chest, fuck it, didn't need to go (Fuck it)
Oh, you got an S on your chest with no vest on your chest?
Pay the check and we blow (Baow)
Her Birkin cost thirty, that's low (Thirty)
Fuck it, go buy her three more (Fuck it)
I'ma break the bitch down, kilo (Break her down)
Aventador green, CeeLo (Yeah, yeah, uh)
That bitch want Sheneneh, okay (Okay)
Get her number up to 3K, Andre (3K)
Straight off the goddamn runway (Runway)
She get on her knees, no Sunday (Woo)
Straight Martell, no Bombay (Martell)
I knew I was gon' be rich one day (Hey)
Big clout, comin' in, ándale (Clout)
Fuck clout, you can have it, I'll throw it away (Fuck it)
When I pull out, bitches wanna come lay (Skrrt)
Diamonds made in Neptune like family (Hey)
Pull the thing out, it go dat way (Grraow)

New watch and it's plain, dope (Woo)
How you hit 'em with the flex? I don't know (Flex)
Cashin' out two checks on the low (Cash)

Whipped cream on the ice like a float (Whip)
