Trae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Asshole By Nature
I see you motherfuckers just determined
To make a nigga get on y'all ass
Roach ass motherfuckers
I don't know what to do with
You beat up ass broke motherfuckers
See us in the streets
What can I do to get these
Hoe ass niggas out my mix
I'm straight from the block
Tryna get a brick
I ended up puttin shit down with the click
Now a bunch of niggas out ridin my dick
I'm a slide me a bitch, sit him in the 6
Put zip lock then I'm a hide me a bitch
No more pride for the bitch
Niggas get mad cause I bang to the left
And plus I ride when I switch
Stickin to the G guide line
Peep them from the side line
Boss gotta big gat bitch I'm a hide mine
Got it ready to pop and put
You on the high line
From my hot nine thinkin I would
Never pull out and pop mine
Bitch it's the maab
Ridin our dick must be your big job
I might serve every nigga
Standin in your squad
Got G's from over seas, and places apart
You don't wanna fuck around
Put him in the middle of a 30-30
Scope and I'm buckin him down
4 slugs hit e'm before
He touchin' the ground
I'm in love with my rounds
I be lovin the sound
While I'm huggin four pounds
Hoe made niggas better move when I'm 'round
Before my face show a frown
Hittin niggas up with that HGC and that
2-2-3 and I'm ditchin the town

Guess who the fuck-top back in the do'
Seperatin from the plex with a
Beam and a scope
Hop fly I'm a hit a nigga dead in his throat
With a mac fully attack no force to let go
Might touch on a nigga like Shaq
Hit him in chest now he body rockin like Pat
When he size up I'm a put
His ass on his back
Have his bitch ass runnin to the trunk
For the gat-where the haters at
Better yet nigga why bother
I'm a pain in the ass like Antonio Tarver
ABN we opperate like the carter
And been G'd up since a nigga was starters
North to the South, South back to the North
East to the West let it go I set it off
We the team of the H plus
We run with the south
Trae, Jayton, Z Ro the Crooked, and Lil'Boss
Hop in the L crank up ready to floss
Swoop through the block
My frame ready-to-toss
Mouth piece gotta nigga bout to goin off
Cause my grill worth about 4
Ki's in the south
Now what can I do about niggas like these
AK's to the chest will make
Them burn like trees
Forty-rounds out the clip will make




Them scat like fleas
Roach ass nothin type of niggas gotta bleed
