Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what they say about the jealous ones
They turn to enemies
And you know that I'm hot right now
And I feel your energy (Phony, phony, phony, phony)
And that shit offending me, phony
I know a hater gonna hate
You can't throw that shade on me, on me
You can't put a label on me, on me
You can't put a stain on me, on me, on me
On me, on me, on me
On me, on me
On me, I know a hater gonna hate
There's no way you put your weight on me

On me, I know a hater gonna hate
There's no way you put your weight on me
Excuse me for a statement
I told my mama I'mma make it
So I gotta be stupid rich
Have seven floors in my fuckin' crib
Not shit, man these niggas not shit
And these bitches ain't me
They need to get their life quit
I'm the only thing to see
Haters just a fan of me
I don't have no competition
I'm the only thing to be
You ain't a friend of me
You know what they say about the jealous ones
They turn to enemies
And you know that I'm hot right now
And I feel your energy (Phony, phony, phony, phony)
And that shit offending me, phony
I know a hater gonna hate
There's no way you put your weight on me, on me, on me
