Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas, hate
Bitches, hate
Me, I can't
Faded I might, faint
Faded I might, faint
My mind went, blank
Mind went, blank
Now I done grew up 'round some niggas
That caused me some drama
Swear when you make it niggas say you owe them
Swear they think they your mama
Everybody with they hands out they always ask me
They know that I got it
My biggest fear is going broke
Can't say no, that's my problem
I wanted that Rolls Royce, young boy
Lookin' to make a bad choice
Then it got fucked up when Mom went to jail
I heard a little voice
Back of my head, back of my mind,
Dropped out of school but a nigga did fine
I ain't tellin' you to drop out
But if you do, make use of your time
I say why they hatin' on me?
I'm just tryin' to get my guap
I'm just tryin' to set my family up
First believe in one God,
Then stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
We ain't never fuck with cops
And that's never gon' stop
And I'm posted at the tippy top
So get your money fast
And stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
Love, hate
Niggas, hate
Bitches, hate
Me, I can't
Faded I might, faint
Faded I might, faint
My mind went, blank
Mind went, blank
Okay, I'm takin' my time and takin' your dinner
These bitches cold blooded like winter
I'm lookin' at fixtures that I don't remember
I'm all in my zone, Carl Malone
Takin' these shots, abusing my liver
It's mine, I spend it
It's mine, I'm gon' spend it
Doomsday, doomsday
These niggas weak like it's a Tuesday
Niggas get loony like a toon stay
Everything well done like two steaks
Who they? Ain't from LA
They fall off like November days
They worry 'bout your sales, but
At the end of the day, who gettin' paid?
I say why they hatin' on me?
I'm just tryin' to get my guap
I'm just tryin' to set my family up
First believe in one God,
Then stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
We ain't never fuck with cops
And that's never gon' stop
And I'm posted at the tippy top
So get your money fast
And stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
Love, hate
Niggas, hate
Bitches, hate
Me, I can't
Faded I might, faint
Faded I might, faint
My mind went, blank
Mind went, blank
I say why they hatin' on me?
I'm just tryin' to get my guap
I'm just tryin' to set my family up
First believe in one God,
Then stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
We ain't never fuck with cops
And that's never gon' stop
And I'm posted at the tippy top
So get your money fast
And stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch

Then it got fucked up when Mom went to jail
My situation changed when my mother was incarcerated
I heard a little voice
A small voice inside my head spoke to me
Back of my head, back of my mind,
In the back of my thoughts
Dropped out of school but a nigga did fine
I didn't finish school but I still succeeded
I ain't tellin' you to drop out
I'm not advocating for dropping out of school
But if you do, make use of your time

I don't know who these people are and they aren't from LA
They fall off like November days
They disappear or lose relevance like days in November
They worry 'bout your sales, but
They're concerned about my finances, but
At the end of the day, who gettin' paid?
But in the end, who is making the money?
First believe in one God,
Put faith in a higher power
Then stack your paper higher, bitch
Then focus on making money and increasing your wealth
We ain't never fuck with cops
We've never had positive experiences with law enforcement
And that's never gon' stop
And that won't change
And I'm posted at the tippy top
I'm at the very top of my game
So get your money fast
So work hard to obtain money quickly
And stack your paper higher, bitch
And focus on increasing your wealth and reputation
Get your money, stack your paper higher, bitch
Get your money, focus on increasing your wealth
I say why they hatin' on me?
I don't understand why some people don't like me
I'm just tryin' to get my guap
I'm just trying to make money
I'm just tryin' to set my family up
I'm trying to provide for my loved ones
