Wood & Leather
Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my cars got wood & leather
All I fuck with is nice titties
If she ain't got no ass she got some titties
Got that woo tatted on me, I'ma woo
I don't need nobody, God I'mma shoot
Got some money in the cut like I'm Jewish
These niggas hatin' on us, we gotta shoot them
Every time you see me I'm with a new one
Every time you see me, man do nothing
I fucked yo bitch in the trap on the footon
I got a New York bitch, she out of Brooklyn
I gave that dope dick and now she hooked on
She was a good girl so I brought her back
Soon as she fucked up I call the dollar cab
I could take yo bitch whenever
All my cars got wood & leather
All I fuck with is nice titties
If she ain't got no ass she got some titties
I could take yo bitch whenever
All my cars got wood & leather
All I fuck with is nice titties
If she ain't got no ass she got some titties
Bitch I'm on another level
I got my mind made up, I'll never settle
All my bitches bad, ain't nothing special
And if yo bitch out of line she don't respect you
When I pull up on yo block I'm on business
When she with me she ain't thinkin bout commitment
Said she ain't been with a real one in a minute
I had er in the kitchen water whippin'
These niggas tryin they hardest, you niggas still poor
Hunnit bottles of liq that's what we live for
I'm bout them chains and watches that you got robbed for
You got a team of niggas ain't on they job though
My lil bitch from LA stay in the A town
Move that back on that grape how she stay down
Every day I expect the same designer
If you don't know homie, let me remind ya
I could take yo bitch whenever
All my cars got wood & leather
All I fuck with is nice titties
If she ain't got no ass she got some titties
I could take yo bitch whenever
All my cars got wood & leather
All I fuck with is nice titties
If she ain't got no ass she got some titties
The lyrics to "Wood & Leather" by Ty Dolla $ign speak to a lifestyle of luxury and power, where the rapper boasts about his ability to take anyone's significant other and his collection of cars with premium interiors. He also highlights his preference for women with large breasts, regardless of their lack of a posterior. The chorus emphasizes this by repeating the same phrase twice, showcasing his desire for women with certain physical attributes.
Despite this, Ty Dolla $ign acknowledges that he is not perfect, and has a tattoo that reads "woo" to remind him of his shortcomings. He also boasts about having money stashed away like a Jewish person, implying that he is financially savvy. Ty Dolla $ign also shows a disdain for those who have no money and asserts that he can handle any potential problems himself.
The second verse reveals that Ty Dolla $ign is a player who is not interested in anything serious. He describes his collection of women as "bad," but unremarkable, and declares that he will never settle down despite his success. He also brags about his drug-dealing lifestyle and his ability to turn a good girl into a drug addict.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a man who is wealthy, powerful, and enamored with large breasts, but ultimately empty and lacking in substance.
