Tinashe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled up in a Brink's truck
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled up in a Brink's truck
Hunnid thousand dollars, cuban link up, yeah
All this drip on me, I fuck the sink up
I just pulled up in a Brink's truck
Windows tinted, presidential, fuck a limo
Damn your rental, blew that shit on incidental
Nashe pulled up at the club, change the tempo
Me fuckin' with you, not my M.O
Make a scene, made the cover magazines
In yo' face, bitch, this ain't Maybelline
Rafaello, VVS's, bling bling
Head coach, I might put you on the team
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled up in a Brink's truck
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled up in a Brink's truck
Hunnid thousand dollars, cuban link up, yeah
All this drip on me, I fuck the sink up
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled in a Brink's truck
And I-and I brought some young bad bitches in here
Ain't no room for mad bitches in here
Call me Nashe, Houdini, doing tricks with a saw
For my next act, watch-watch me cut these bitches off
Yeah I'm a boss (ay)
Pink diamond, cuban link, that's sauce
Pink mink dripping like a sink when I floss
Take a trip, let him book it for me
G-gps your nigga if you're looking for me
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled in a Brink's truck
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled in a Brink's truck
Hunnid thousand dollars, cuban link up, yeah
All this drip on me, I fuck the sink up
Bad bitches link up, link up
I just pulled in a Brink's truck
Yeah, I bet you wanna see me naked, don't ya?
Ah, I got your main nigga checkin' for me
Ay, fifty bitches in my section on it
Yeah, and they all with the shit
Yeah, I bet you wanna see me naked, don't ya?
Ah, I got your main nigga checkin' for me
Yeah, fifty bitches in my section on it
Yeah, and they all with the shit
I've been popping since a youngin'
Bet they don't know how I'm coming
Too much sauce, I gotta run it
Covered all in a drip
All these hoes all in her page
Nashe come through with ya bae
All my stunnas and my status
Now they all on my dick
I'm on a wave
Used to want it now I got it
Bitch I'm paid
New California, white on white
I'm in a wave
Private flights, I'm out of state like everyday
I'm here to stay
Yeah, I bet you wanna see me naked, don't ya?
Ah, I got your main nigga checkin' for me (nigga checkin' for me)
Ay, fifty bitches in my section on it (section on it)
Yeah, and they all with the shit
Woo, yeah, I bet you wanna see me naked, don't ya? (See me naked)
Uh, I got your main nigga checkin' for me (nigga checkin' for me)
Yeah, fifty bitches in my section on it (ay yeah)
And they all with the shit, woo
