Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Audemar dreaming, double cup feening
If he broke tell him back back
Diamonds they beaming, patnas they scheming
Turn that boy into a hashtag
Green whip speeding, ain't no speaking
Spend a band and get the cash back
Big boy moves, just like a library
Then put them clothes in a trash bag
I want them bands, I want that cash
I want that new money
Flooding my wrist, freezing my neck
Diamonds they shine on me
I need a grill, I need some rings, Imma go to Johnny
Take me a trip, make sure it's private
Go where they can't find me
I been, dreaming bout racks
Dreaming bout plaques and shit
Cash out the max
Can't let em tax, and shit
New whip waxed
Bought dickie slacks, and shit
Heard him say slatt,
Do he not know where he at? well shit
Time to wake him up
Tell that boy he outta luck
Make him feel stuck
Count to three then duck
Run like Forest Gump
Got him whining like a pup
He said this can't be a dream
Damn right its a dub
Can't choose a dream, can't choose a nightmare
Niggas tote guns, cause niggas don't fight fair
Knock his ass out, he gon spend the whole night there
Stress the whole block, we gon give that boy white hair
Audemar dreaming, double cup feening
If he broke tell him back back
Diamonds they beaming, patnas they scheming
Turn that boy into a hashtag
Green whip speeding, ain't no speaking
Spend a band and get the cash back
Big boy moves, just like a library
Then put them clothes in a trash bag
I want them bands, I want that cash
I want that new money
Flooding my wrist, freezing my neck
Diamonds they shine on me
I need a grill, I need some rings
Imma go to Johnny
Take me a trip, make sure it's private
Go where they can't find me
Whipping and swerving and shit in my dreams
I just took one for the team
All types of strangers it must be a theme
I ain't gon let them boys scheme
I had a dream he was talking to opps
Damn I couldn't believe it
Ghetto angels taking me to the top
Damn, I hope they don't leave me
They told me to step back I respect that
How you ask for advice then don’t never use it
Where I'm going need a jetpack, don't get swept back
I ain't have no helping hand got me out here CLUE-less
Creeping up I made em get back, nigga hit back
How you repping for yo street boy you really useless
Hella weight had me bent back, it got sent back
They calling me the bad guy cause I'm ruthless
Can't choose a dream, can't choose a nightmare
Niggas tote guns, cause niggas don't fight fair
Knock his ass out, he gon spend the whole night there
Stress the whole block, we gon give that boy white hair
Audemar dreaming, double cup feening
If he broke tell him back back
Diamonds they beaming, patnas they scheming
Turn that boy into a hashtag
Green whip speeding, ain't no speaking
Spend a band and get the cash back
Big boy moves, just like a library
Then put them clothes in a trash bag
I want them bands, I want that cash
I want that new money
Flooding my wrist, freezing my neck
Diamonds they shine on me
I need a grill, I need some rings
Imma go to Johnny




Take me a trip, make sure its private
Go where they can't find me
