blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, yeah
Yeah

Seein' you last week, thought that we were cool
You was with some bitches I never knew, I never met
You was actin' all brand new
How you gonna pay for your car and your crib with
Youtube checks and guest list
I'm friends with everybody you been havin' sex with

If it ain't me, if it ain't me
Who's gon' turn you to a wife from the trap queen?
If it ain't me, if it ain't me
Who's gon' change your life, who's gonna lay the pipe exactly how you like?
Who's gon' make it right, who's gon' change your life?
Who's gon' make you top priority?
Top priority
Top priority
Top priority

Shawty's such a pretty little thug
Smile like sunshine but let a chick talk slick just one time (she snappin')
She accustomed to the trappin'
She don't let it happen, she make it happen
Ballplayers and the D-boys and make it rappin'
Be the type that should be attracted
So fancy but so much on the outside that nobody can see
How smart you are, how funny
Loyal and about your money
Well I can, baby (I can baby)
You know you're bad, you could have any man, baby
But I got a big heart, good sex
M's in the bank and a motherfuckin' plan baby
You gonna hit me up?

If it ain't me, if it ain't me, babe
Who's gonna take you to a wife from the trap queen?
Said if it ain't me babe, if it ain't me
Who gon' change your life, who's gonna lay the pipe just the way you like?
Say who gon' make it right, change your life?
Make you top priority?
Ay, top priority




Make you top priority
Top priority

Overall Meaning

He confronts a woman who he thought they had an understanding with, only for her to treat him differently in front of her friends. He questions her source of income and mocks her reliance on YouTube checks and guest lists to pay for her car and house. He further emphasizes that he's no longer interested in the woman's lifestyle but is keen to make her realize that he's the one who can change her life.


The woman, referred to as Shawty, is described as a pretty little thug with a refined exterior that hides her street smarts and her financial prudence from the world.

However, blackbear tells her that he can appreciate all her qualities and promises her that he will give her priority over his other interests.
