Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, ay, jeah, ay nigga
If you at the light right now, nigga
And the nigga sweating you, my nigga
Looking at you 'cause you got
The big boy shoes on ya shit, my nigga

Ay, roll down ya motherfucking window, nigga
Blow out that dro smoke, nigga
Tell that nigga that's how the fuck ya feel, nigga
Ya feel like ya look nigga, ya feel good nigga
What's happening nigga? Let's get it, ay, let's go

Red paint, inside's peanut butter
They seeing me, but I don't see them suckers
I ain't gon lie, man my shit tight
Hoes jocking, got 'em stopping like a red light

Wake me up, this a sick dream
Got the Alpine with the flat screen
These niggaz ain't aware, mayne
12's in the trunk sounding like an airplane

A 757 jet
He ain't know? You dealing with a fucking vet
Niggaz cold like banana splits
That's why I cop the are with banana clips

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)

I got a project chick with a lot of kids
She say, she like my flow but love my ad libs
I was saying, "Yeah" before Usher
Never scared like T I and Bone Crusher

Any problem, Jeezy take care of it
Them ugly hoes say a nigga arrogant
Real slow is how I drive past
Got everybody looking, sweating like a gym class

I see you funny niggaz got jokes
Disrespect the Chevy, still riding on spokes
You fucking with a player
We don't just say, "No", we too busy saying, "Yeah"

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)

I'm a motherfucking problem, who wanna solve me, dog?
Got six cell phones, who gon' call me dog?
This ain't a movie, we are not actors
Still use a duck ass nigga for target practice

Infrared beam on the Mausberg pump
Hit his ass with it twice, make him A-Town Stomp
In gats we trust
Niggaz play a lot of games dog, but not with us

Call me, 'Jack In The Box', hop out with two clips
Cook ya faster than a T-bone at Ruth Chris
You still hating, looking stupid
I'm in the SL, looking real Coupe-ish

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)

Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)




45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
