09' Until
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Car stripper, trife livin
Show you what I'm paid but you won't get it
Already spent it, hundred thou? 16?
Make you feel like the richest No! (niggas)
What happen when them cloths won't fit ya
And everybody asking for pictures, onto the next
One fan say ya sick man others say my shit weak
Young money mulligan play gulf on ya head
Swing swing like lesbians and a man
Don't wanna share his wife but we already did (bitch)
Ghetto fly nigga form his ship
Its like amistad all black when we dip ah
Car with with rims ah don't matter
What we in cuz we already in forever
The end chivalry I good night this shit
Goodbye to the flaw say hello to you God
Readin the choir overseas ummm...
Such a globe traveler, farchulin while you where at home
I was busy ordering steaks threw the
Phone like medium rare, no wait well done
Don't care if you won
Tyga I am the one
This is why I'm ill 09 until
This is why I'm ill 09 until
This is why I'm ill 09 until
Forever y'all
This is why I'm ill 09 until
This is why I'm ill 09 until
This is why I'm ill 09 until
Forever y'all
I really kick flow
I really been broke
Look at me now doe everynight another show
What are those doe
Glow in the dark shoes
How you get those
Wish I really knew
Like mario, my city red and blue
Born from L.A. eat roscoes
Lucy tacos knew some vatos
Tat tata tat ink like kinkos
I put a dollar in the pot watch the pot grow
I pop up with the heat like hot toast
You would recycle if you see what I knew
So keep your eyes closed and lower your IQ
I feel like two, they can judge me but there's no gaffle and stool
Only gospel can save you good music immune
I'm ill sick my lyrics like pew
(Chorus)my flowetry hit swayze Patrick stars fished me right out the
Deep abyss when when I wave hiss to
The hiss kiss to a kiss bliss to a bliss
In Tyga's song 09' Until, he raps about his flashy lifestyle and how he has worked hard to achieve it, despite the criticism he faces from some fans. The first line, "Dial up seven digits car stripper, trife living," refers to Tyga's previous occupation and the struggles he faced before becoming a successful rapper.

Tyga also touches on the downside to his lifestyle, such as the pressure to keep up with the latest fashion trends and people constantly asking for pictures.
Tyga goes on to assert his confidence in his talents as a rapper and how he does not worry about negative comments from his fans. He compares himself to a golf player in the line "Young money mulligan play gulf on ya head," stating that he is not afraid to take risks to achieve his goals. Tyga makes a reference to the movie Amistad, likening his all-black car to the black slave ship from the film. He then describes his assets, such as his cars with rims, and states that he is already in the game for the long haul.
