Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been feelin' low
Some say I ain't trill no mo'
It ain't like I give a damn cause
They know I'm down to slam
Punk niggas to the street
Split they wig to the meat
Laying in they bloody red
Then I leave their ass flat dead fool
And I bet that on my ass
I'm ready to get on my blast
And I ain't the easiest
Motherfucker to fly past
Last time I looked I wasn't wearin'
Panties so don't say I was
I'm from that Texas
I ain't your blood and I ain't your cuz
I'm just that nigga trying to make
Life as easy as I can
But most of these punk ass niggas
Don't understand the plan I got
Now they hot
Walkin' round pissed off but I ain't worried
Im lettin' off bullets in a hurry
And my people scurry
Cause I'm full of that damn dank and drank
So I'm finna shank your ass and
While you're layin' in the grass
Thinkin' that I was the nigga
That you fucked wit'
Gun stick to ya lips, I'm from PA nigga
Don't fuck wit'
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Cause the rest of ya'll niggas ain't shit
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Cause the rest of y'all niggas ain't shit
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Ain't no nigga like a trill ass nigga
Ain't no nigga like a big old bud nigga
Cause the rest of y'all niggas ain't shit

I be getting real high
Smoking weed and getting fried
Fuckin hoes wit' big ol' thighs
And bucking niggas 'til I die
Nigga you ain't running shit
Fronting like you making stacks
Riding round my niggas' house in
That old beat-up Cadillac
Yelling how you down with C
Talking 'bout you book my shows
Never ever was my friend
Always been my fucking foe
Never had no love for hoes
Like that nigga said
So nigga you dead soon as I
Buck you wit' that fuckin' lead
And that's more real than a bypass
You need to bend yourself over so I
Can boot you in your fuckin' ass
Ya think you're slick and so you're bigger
But I squeeze the trigger
Cause I'm bigger and I'm
That underground nigga
Straight from PAT where the shit don't stop
Niggas always gettin' smoked on
The goddamn block short, Texas motherfucker
See I live in the bricks
Where the niggas smoke them Swishers
And the bitches suck dick cause see
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Cause the rest of ya'll niggas ain't shit
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Cause the rest of y'all niggas ain't shit
Ain't no nigga like a underground nigga
Ain't no nigga like a trill ass nigga
Ain't no nigga like a big old bud nigga
Cause the rest of y'all niggas ain't shit

Ain't no nigga like a westside nigga
Ain't no nigga like a eastside nigga
Ain't no nigga like a D Town nigga
(Ain't no nigga like a NO nigga)
Ain't no nigga like a H Town nigga
Ain't no nigga like a Chi Town nigga
Ain't no nigga like a PAT nigga




Cause the rest of ya'll niggas ain't
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
