Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Counting up my bank
She tripping out on my bank
(Okay!)
We Got London on da Track
I gots lots of haters
I spend sheets of paper
My FAM need that paper
We gonna get it by any means
I'm stay straight like a spleen
I'm your majesty, you're the deva
Your after the paper
You know I'm bout my paper
You know I'm bout my team
You know I'm bout my family
If I don't make it in instants
I put her down with my click
I got a bad bitch that talk shit
I know the Freeband Gang from that six
I started switching lanes in that bitch
Smoking indoor nigga stay in
Mannie Fresh kept it in the play pin
Nigga have a (?) Benz and a muthafucka new Benz
Japanese choppa with the double twins
It ain't safe in that water
And I am the new Prada, count up nigga
1,2,3,4,5
All my bloods, they survive
And I'm a Samurai for the calls
I might be bad like a boss
I might end up down with my click
Laughing At hoes with my bitch
Pop those doors with her looks
Love is here, like oh shit, I wanna fuck!
Baby do your thang, for me
Do you thang
Baby do your thang, for me
Do you thang
When on that bullshit she just casually (What?)
Baby girl I swear
If you can't stand no more
I'm gon' give that ass a chair
I do her wrong and I know she gon' still be there
Baby come and I lay down like a bear
Tell a nigga to crack it (?)
Then I send a nigha to the sky with it
A nigga loose a life in my business
Bust it on her thigh with it
Bring paper, nigh you know you need supplies with it
Thinking about running off, you'll die with it, yeah
Never say no baby, do it, yeah
I want ravioli-oli at the stay in, laughing at these niggas like a baby
Can't see me nigga
Like the muthafuckin shoe that the broad wearing
And I'm a shirt nigga, stay in!
It ain't safe in that water!
No
1,2,3,4,5
All my bloods, they survive
And I'm a Samurai for the calls
I might be bad like a boss
I might end up down with my click
Laughing At hoes with my bitch
Pop those doors with her looks
Love is here, like oh shit, I wanna fuck!
Baby do your thang, for me
Do you thang
Baby do your thang, for me
Do you thang
When on that bullshit she just casually (What?)
How she dress casually
And pull up on that BS
Yaah yeah yeah
I don't know how she do this shit
Every time she get pissed
She look so sexy!
