Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Motivate my niggas, wake up in the AM and chase that skrilla
Hated by many yeah the city still mine I just state my opinion
They say how you stay skinny but you stay in the kitchen
They say the shit ain't a game but you playing with the digits
Motivate my niggas can't complain, when your chick name Jenner
Wrist game glitta motivate my niggas
And you can't take your bitch nowhere, she so famous
Niggas want more, all I do is motivate 'em
It's all I do, niggas want more, can you blame 'em?
I was just like you
Now my wrist game glitta big chain glitta
Motivate my niggas wake up in the AM and chase that skrilla
Can you taste that feeling? Cream filling in my cake got the cake with the sprinkles
Motivate my niggas, why you hatin' my nigga?
We had no A/C now we laid up chillin' gettin' paid how I'm working motivate my niggas
Wrist game glitta, champagne sipper, lane to lane switcher in that Mulsanne
Had the Wraith for a minute
Exchange for the Bentley more space for the bitches
What's your name?
I came with the realist I left with the same motivate my niggas
And we all gang, just a gang of niggas that all bang
When we come play its like a ball game ballers
Wrist game glitta, call us crazy for the Ben Franks nigga
I'mma Ben Frank flipper for them Ben Franks nigga
I ain't crazy baby, nah I'm insane nigga
I'm kamikaze, comma crazy on a Kawasaki poppin' wheelies I'm money hungry
Just went out to dinner, everything taste funny but these millions

Motivate my niggas wake up in the AM and chase that skrilla
Can you taste that feeling? Cream filling in my cake got the cake with the sprinkles
Motivate my niggas, why you hatin' my nigga? Yeah we chase that skrilla
Hated by many and the city still mine I just state my opinion

Hot on the plate still sizzle huh?
Wrist game, big chain glitta huh?
Wrist game glitta big chain glitta
Motivate my niggas wake up in the AM and chase that skrilla
Hated by many yeah the city still mine I just state my opinion

Motivate my niggas wake up in the AM and chase that skrilla
Can you taste that feeling? Cream filling in my cake got the cake with the sprinkles

Wrist game glitta huh?

Hot on the plate still sizzle huh?
Wrist game big chain glitta huh?
In Tyga's "Glitta," the rapper boasts about his success and motivates his fellow gang members to chase after their own success. The title, "Glitta," refers to both his wrist game - as in the shine and glitter of his jewelry - and the feeling of triumph that comes with achieving financial success, represented by the "cream filling" in his cake.
Tyga begins by referencing his "wrist game glitta" and "big chain glitta," two aspects of his appearance that symbolize his wealth and success. From there, he shifts his focus to motivating his friends and fellow gang members, saying that they need to wake up in the morning and "chase that skrilla," or go after their own money and success. He acknowledges that he's "hated by many," but insists that the city is still his and he'll continue to state his opinions. He also references the fact that people ask him how he stays skinny despite hanging out in the kitchen, a nod to his wealth affording him the opportunity to eat what he wants.
As the song progresses, Tyga continues to motivate and encourage his fellow gang members, all the while boasting about his own success. He mentions a few of his ex-girlfriends, suggesting that they've tried to get closer to his money by wanting to tattoo their names on him or ride his coattails to fame. He also references his Bentley and champagne sipping habits, further underscoring his luxurious lifestyle. The outro of the song circles back to the title, repeating the lines about his wrist game and chain being "glitta" while suggesting that his haters are just snakes slithering in the grass.

I'm agreeing here. old tyga's voice is better. but if you this really would be your favorite rapper like he is one of mine, then you like his music no matter what. you can go from being a fan to a hater just cause his voice.
