butter up
Your Stepdad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mm, leave a nigga, mm
Giving nigga clues to the blues
Get your butter up
Horsepower in the Hellcat, call it buttercup
(Ayy)

Giving niggas clues to the blues
Get your butter up
Horsepower in the Hellcat
Call it giddy-kitty
I ain't feel decent in a while, child
What the fuck is up?
I'ma run the buckets up, nigga
Tuck the duffel up
Who that on that corner? Bitch, we on him
Pack a Double Dutch
I be on the stumble from this strong
I don't knuckle up
Nigga, roll the wood, he ain't icing
I knew some' up burst him, he a bubble
That's just how we close discussion up

If he ain't talking chicken
Then we ain't walking in that bitch
Of course, I'm kinda Christian
But I'm definitely down to spin that bitch
I play the nice guy so the
Bops go to mean niggas
I got plots for the top, not for gene, nigga
It ain't easy to get busting
So I'm trying hard
Competition wanna be a gangster
So they grinding hard to make us think they
Really 'bout the action
But they dying hard
Niggas out here really disappearing
Like some flying cards
Who did it? It was just a weak magician, no
Don't talk about my lyrics, bitch
I'm running out of rhyming bars
I know I got a couple niggas like, damn
That's kinda hard
But, a couple niggas ain't enough to
Get me right behind the stars
Damn, you niggas stupid
I don't wanna meet the guy in charge
I got a shirt with, "Stupid"
On it, it's for you, it's kinda large
My energy a battery
So I won't get that kind of charge
But, I'ma keep it civil 'til I trap
You like a pile of 'tards (yeah, look, huh)
Shorty told me she like boys with glasses
Got me over-geeking
Tried to ask my niggas for
Some help, they said, "Stop overthinking"
Had to get her dreaming in her legs
You might n'even get between them

Giving niggas clues to the blues
Get your butter up
Horsepower in the Hellcat
Call it giddy-kitty
I ain't feel decent in a while, child
What the fuck is up?
I'ma run the buckets up, nigga
Tuck the duffel up
Who that on that corner? Bitch, we on him
Pack a Double Dutch
I be on the stumble from this strong




I don't knuckle up burst him, he a bubble
That's just how we close discussion up
