Young Dolph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Man, them kids loud as hell downstairs
This shit crazy as hell, what's goin' on on the news
Ayy, bae, pass me that phone
Tray Tray, y'all quit jumpin' on that couch, bruh (yeah)
Hello?
(What's up, Dolph, what you been doin'?)

Shit, listenin' to the president talkin' 'bout the Chinese flu and
Just like everybody else, nigga, I been quarantining
With my Biscotti, Lemon Tree, and Promethazine (yeah) and (woo)
I know my garbage man sick of seeing empty pint bottles (wop, wop)
Facetime every day with my sister, auntie, and mama (I love y'all)
Fuck it, make a Corona baby with baby mama (fuck it)
Last night I was up four in the morning oilin' my choppers (fuck it)
I needed some time off anyway, so it ain't no problem (fuck it)
Independent, so I'ma eat anyway, regardless (fuck it)
Tray Tray happy as fuck 'cause daddy been home every day (I love y'all)
Ari happy as fuck 'cause daddy home, she gettin' her way
Called my nigga and told him, "Man, I'ma finna spend six million on stocks"
He said, "When? Hell yeah, nigga, me too," 'cause that's how we rock (uh)
My president is Trump and my Lambo' blue
This three hundred-fifty thousand dollar Sonic is too (woo)

I'm enjoying this time right now, so I don't give a fuck
I heard Trump 'bout to take us to war
So I went and bought two army trucks (it's Dolph)
God, please watch over the nurses and doctors on the frontlines (God, please)
I can't wait 'til the clouds gone and we get sunshine (sunshine)

Real life shit, nigga, fuck a punchline (fuck all that)
'Bout my guala twenty-four seven, not sometimes (uh-uh)
That's why I never signed a deal, nigga, not one time (uh-uh)
Ayy, Squeeky, stop all the instruments and keep the drum line (hold up)
Busy workin' all my life, gave the family no time (sorry, y'all)
I apologize to the whole family just for bein' selfish (I love y'all)
But the whole time, I was focused on makin' the family wealthy ('cause I love y'all)
It wasn't shit you could tell me (nah, yeah, uh-uh)
Guala (guala), guala (guala), guala (guala, hey)
Stack that paper, invest in yourself for times like this (yeah, yeah)
Straight up out the mud and now I shine like this (yeah, yeah)
All the real niggas, they gon' Toosie Slide to this (uh-huh)

I'm enjoying this time right now, so I don't give a fuck
I heard Trump 'bout to take us to war
So I went and bought two army trucks (it's Dolph)
God, please watch over the nurses and doctors on the frontlines (God, please)
I can't wait 'til the clouds gone and we get sunshine (sunshine)





My president is Trump and my Lambo' blue
