YFN Lucci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nigga don't play, you'll lose
You probably couldn't walk a mile in 'em
Nigga do you know how much I paid for these shoes
I was raised in the zoo where niggas never played by the rules
Some nigga tried to play me back in high school
I fucked around and made the news
I never been a sucka
These niggas injured, they gon' need to recover
You can come over but you can not sleep over
Please bring a friend I do not eat leftovers
We got dat clean and she stepped over
Fuck your opinion, I knew I would get it
I promise that hip hop is not over
See I do not live in no mansion
But I'm bout my green like im stanley
See I am so up, Imma need a xanny
You gotta be hood just to understand me
My trunk in da hood if you understand me
These niggas ain't good if you understand me
I came from the bottom, I could've got shot up, I still can't believe that I'm still standing
Yeah, I got on Cuban links
This a Volare and that's a mink
Look like a polar bear hugging me
Girl get on top and make love to me
Love me forever, don't ever get tired of me
Why the fuck would you lie to me?
If I told you I got you, I got you believe me don't let your faith die on me girl
I wonder why the sun don't shine everyday yeah
I said I wonder why, I said I wonder why, yeah, yeah
I wonder why some of these niggas be fake
All you gotta do is have faith
Glad my niggas ain't never lost faith
None of my niggas ain't never lost faith

Another nigga bitch on the drink
Diamonds drippin off me like a sink
Fuck what another nigga think!

My car is sad and its blue and look what the money done blew in
