Ain't I
Young Dro & Yung LA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya got to know the boy futuristic, ain't it?
My work can make the J's do the jump, man can't it?
You got to know this the remix right here
Grand Hustle baby it's the kings right here

You got to know we gwappin' pockets extra sloppy
Don't I love my vegetables extra cheese and broccoli?
Don't Yung L.A. like to kick it like karate?
Don't I be with J-money serving everybody?

Ain't we up in magic city throwing up the broccoli?
Ain't me and Tip taking off like a rocket?
Ain't my, ain't my, ain't my, ain't my, ain't my money long?
Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I still putting on?

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I smoking strong? Ain't I putting on?
Ain't I rocking yays? Ain't my money long?

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I in the ville? Ain't I on the hill?
Ain't I on a pill? Ain't I, ain't I real?

Okay, my rims so big I'm at the tip top, ain't I?
Choppers in the trunk will make you do the Macarena
Pull up to the flo', yeah mothafucka ain't I?
All black coupe, I can buy a Benz, can't I?

Remix Yung L.A. and T.I., this a banger
Dro, you on that thang? You don't hear me Trick, ain't I?
Big Rolls Royces, ain't I got 'em nauseous?
We be in Ferraris, the cars with the horses

Ain't I on a pill riding down Bentley
Iced 30 below minus the wind chill
Ain't I packing chrome? Ain't I blowing strong?
Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I got it going on?
Young Dro

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I smoking strong? Ain't I putting on?
Ain't I rocking yays? Ain't my money long?

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I in the ville? Ain't I on the hill?
Ain't I on a pill? Ain't I, ain't I real?

Ralph Lauren, purple label, ain't I fresh as I could be?
Made it through my situation, ain't I blessed as I could be?
Ain't I laughing at these haters tryna take a shot at me
They don't know which way to go, I make it easy, follow me

Honestly, ain't I insane? I think that's the way I gotta be
Ain't I so so super fly? Boy ain't nobody hot as me
Ain't T.I. all on TV when he wake up and go to sleep?
Everywhere they notice me, ay for yourself just go and see

My community I'm serving though they hope I don't succeed
Hear me speak they so intrigued, a-ain't he snitching? No indeed
You come with that common flow, yo show I have to commander
Since I see you can't take over I'll just have to volunteer

A-ain't I yo superior? Listen here bruh you not up here
I'm so zone 1 till it ain't funny twice the G that I appear
Rep Bankhead so loud and clear, go be gone for 'bout a year
So Paper Trail you gotta hear but ain't that Ain't I outta here? Ay!

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I smoking strong? Ain't I putting on?
Ain't I rocking yays? Ain't my money long?

Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?
Ain't I in the ville? Ain't I on the hill?
Ain't I on a pill? Ain't I, ain't I real?





Ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I, ain't I?

Overall Meaning

The song "Ain't I" by Young Dro and Yung L.A. features braggadocious and self-congratulatory lyrics about their successful careers and extravagant lifestyles. Throughout the song, the two rappers ask rhetorical questions about their wealth, popularity, and status in the music industry. They reference flashy cars, high-end fashion, and their affiliations with other successful artists like Grand Hustle labelmate T.I. and J Money. The lyrics also touch on the rappers' street credibility and the haters who try to bring them down, but they remain confidently above it all.


However, this song has been criticized for promoting materialism over substance and perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black men in hip hop. Critics have pointed out the shallow lyrics and lack of originality, as well as the glorification of violence and drug use. Despite the controversy, "Ain't I" was a commercial success and became one of the most popular tracks of 2009, reaching #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
