Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
25 for my belt, nigga, get off my dick
Snapbacks back, snapback back
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
I brought the snapback back, snapback back
Man, all these niggas foul like hack-a-Shaq
Nigga racks on racks, my bitch ass so fat
Yo bitch booty like a pancake, flat flapjack
I make your dollars collapse, trail low in the strap
Shells big as a turtle, Master Splinter to rap
Spin you like Urkel, your body hanging from fat
Thought you was sharper than tacks
Get you thrown like some jacks
All these bitches with these tassels
On their titties trying tax
I don't give a fuck if none of y'all don't rap
I could pull a bitch just turning my back
Who knew that, Venus Trap
Flyest nigga in the class
Goyard bag, see that tag?
I could pay your rent all year, boy
Yo' mama know
Your cousin, sister, brother and your mama know
Your cousin, sister, brother and your mama know
Your cousin, sister, brother and your mama know
Bitch, your granny know nigga
Snapbacks back, snapback back
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
25 for my belt, nigga, get off my dick
Snapbacks back, snapback back
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
25 for my belt, nigga, get off my dick
Leggo, snapback back, put V.A. on the map
I'm a young nigga, heartthrob, girls cardiac
I got your girls all on my dick
Yeah, them chickens giving me neck
Nigga, you ain't talking 'bout shit
Fuck your city, press eject
Too busy coughing up them hairballs fur coat, bear dog
Spray these niggas like Aerosol and fuck them old niggas, Geritol
Hold up, snapback on
Champagne MCM backpack on
Lucky that my situation in this probation
Won't even let me strap that tome
My condo ain't no hotter I be right at home
What you mean, nigga, I'm coherent?
Steez out with my D out
And you wonder why your shorty be disappearing
Ha ha, I brought the snapback back
Last kings and them Ti$as, yeah, they sell like crack
You got no car insurance, no Ray-Bans, this Geico, caveman
First of the month you do a praise dance
Like I'm moving on up, aye man
Stop that, drop a hat in the club
They gon' be like that nigga on drugs
Get more respect in L.A. than you do
Stay in your lanes
Snapbacks back, snapback back
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
25 for my belt, nigga, get off my dick
Snapbacks back, snapback back
That's all these niggas saying I brought snapbacks back
I'm a fresh as nigga, bitches know I'm the shit
25 for my belt, nigga, get off my dick
