Tkay Maidza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ha, ha, ha
Uh huh, uh huh
Hey, hey
Ha, ha, ha
Uh huh, uh huh
There's nothin' you can do
I'm solo but aimin'
I do it on my own, take no favors
So don't be near if you be low on the paper
You can save it for later
Cause we don't tolerate broke behavior
They're jel because I spread on the table
They're wishing they're able
To get the bread I use for my cable
So don't be near if you be low on the paper
You can save it for later
Cause we don't tolerate broke behavior
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
And they be like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
But I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
I shoot 'em like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
And I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
And they be like
Stop lyin', never 'bout all this flavor
But I know you savor
Cause you tell your friends you're a hater
But thanks because you do all the labor
I don't need a waiver
Cause you'll be spreading out all my paper
You at the front?
Oh no, you side, you my neighbor
I can see your laser
Cause you think you be right on my radar
So don't be near if you be low on the paper
You can save it for later
Cause we don't tolerate broke behavior
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
And they be like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
But I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
I shoot 'em like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
And I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
And they be like
They're proper dumb
Always sit flat like a papadum
I always sit and I blow bubble gum
Their common sense bangin' like a bongo drum
Zucchinis
So weenie
Always waiting for a greeting
I might be fit for a genie
I grant their wish for no meaning
Don't think you are achieving
My trust can be so deceiving
Might think that you are off meaning
It's like I'm kinda be leading a miss [?]
Blow kiss, double mean; stand or a piss
Double up, double up, down for the bliss?
And they always cover up their fouls in mist [?]
And I always cover up my twos exist [?]
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
And they be like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
But I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
I shoot 'em like (Hey, hey, ha, ha)
And I don't care (Uh huh, uh huh)
And they be like
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang (But I don't care)
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang (I shoot 'em like)
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
Chitty bang bang
The lyrics to Tkay Maidza's song U-Huh describe her unapologetic confidence and independence. She asserts that she does things on her own without needing help from anyone who might be low on resources. She also talks about saving money and accumulating wealth, which has allowed her to spread her success on the table for everyone to see. Maidza talks about the jealousy she receives from others because of her success, but she doesn't care about their opinions. She also addresses the haters who pretend to dislike her but secretly savor her flavor.
Maidza uses a lot of puns and wordplay in her lyrics, like "Chitty bang bang," which could be a reference to the 1968 film of the same name. The phrase could be a representation of her fast-paced life, which is always moving forward. The repeated lines of "Hey, hey, ha, ha" and "Uh huh, uh huh" add to the rhythm of the song and emphasize the confidence in her lyrics.

Wow. Wow. Wow.
I'm repeating a comment I made on the Obsidiots (parody) video, sort of (Which was, basically, why is comedy music better than a "actual" music these days) But...
In the same vein:
Why in the universe is this not the biggest hit on the planet? The vid looks kind of low budget, but still cool, but - The track, the song, is just about the coolest thing I've heard in ages. In every way it's perfect. It couldn't possibly be better.
In awe...

Italy loves you <3

I love that the video she’s referencing was produced when she was -6 (negative six) years old. In fact, it’s entirely plausible she doesn’t even know what she’s referencing!

Binge listening to this artist for when DKLA comes out on the Wild album because I've never heard of her before and oh my god. She is amazing, why have I never heard of her before? She's better than most on the charts.
My fabulous AuDHDLBCL-IV life
Your music is amazing, I can´t stop trying to sing it. Love from Colombia.

Tkay Maidza is like an avalanche of all your favourite rappers, from Azealia Banks to M.I.A. to all the scuzziest, club-ready sounds of British grime. However, she’s still got a voice that is distinctly hers, with rhythms that run rings around her contemporaries. “They’re jel because I spread on the table, they’re wishing they’re able, to get the bread I use for my cable,” she raps in “U-Huh” (below) over a bashing, bass-heavy backbeat.
