Bulletproof
bbno$ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So it's VSOP, tick-tock, watch my wrist clock
Bad bitch (huh), thick waist, watch that shit drop
Flip flop (flop), Goretex, with the white socks
Water proof (proof), lean proof, now I'm bulletproof
Bulletproof, yeah
Now I'm bullet proof
Bulletproof, yeah
Yeah yeah, hmm, bih
Now I'm bullet proof (skrrt skrrt, skrrt skrrt)
Might just go grab me a stick
It's a big candle, out for dinner with your chick
Sipping it straight from the bottle, and it's a fifth
Your mommy just gave me a bib (bib)
Sixty nine dollar outfit, flexing like it's 9K
I'm saving that shit
It be a race for the clout, I'm coming in fifth
Don't needa win on that shit
Separate you from the yolk
You be the whites, I be the yolk, yeah
Thinking about how I get bread
Really ain't crusty, I don't like toast, huh
Might just go find me a bag
Trix are for kids, searching for leprechaun shit
Diamonds plastic from the thrift store (thrift store)
She wanting designer, might just go ditch
So it's VSOP, tick-tock, watch my wrist clock
Bad bitch (huh), thick waist, watch that shit drop
Flip flop (flop), Goretex, with the white socks
Water proof (proof), lean proof, now I'm bulletproof
Bulletproof, yeah
Yeah yeah, hmm, bih
Now I'm bullet proof
Bulletproof, yeah
Yeah yeah, hmm, bih
Now I'm bullet proof (yeah)
Got a modest wrist, got a modest bitch
Who can understand my relationships
Feeling likes it been about three years, since I had our last talk
And then I added three (three), to my fee
Course I'm talking about dem zeroes
Don't remember me (me)? ask your B
She need the D, I'm her hero
Last girl asked me to leave her
So I decided to wife up the money, yeah
Last check brought me some joy
My eyes be green, I loving the money, yeah
Stunning so hard, so I copped me a Nerf
And I empty it up like I'm bulletproof
Cashing a couple more checks and I'm making my parents so proud
Do you want proof?
So it's VSOP, tick-tock, watch my wrist clock
Bad bitch (huh), thick waist, watch that shit drop
Flip flop (flop), Goretex, with the white socks
Water proof (proof), lean proof, now I'm bulletproof
Bulletproof, yeah
Yeah yeah, hmm, bih
Now I'm bullet proof
Bulletproof, yeah
Yeah yeah, hmm, bih
Now I'm bullet proof
Bulletproof, yeah
