Cream
blake and jones Lyrics

Tell me what it's hittin on
Ask me what's happening in the city or the state

For the city or the state
Inquiring about local current events

Then you know that I'm puttin on
Implying that they are aware of the singer's influence

Tap me on the cell
Contact me via phone

Got the ice cream kicked up somethin like Pharrell
The artist's ice cream is similarly fresh as Pharrell's musical style

Who this nigga right here ?
Rhetorical question to establish the singer's identity

Man I am Him
Asserting oneself as the person in question

Young slim nigga chillin with a tilted brim
Describing the artist's appearance

I got a straight car with some 10 inch rims
Descriptions of the artist's car

I know I'm not a star but you tryna get in?
Questioning why people try to befriend them despite their lack of fame

Look, I'm so Mr. clean
Reiterating the singer's cleanliness

So fresh, so smooth like Listerine
Comparing oneself to a popular mouthwash brand

Look, I could go on and on
Indicating the singer can talk about themselves for a while

Can't understand how I last this long
Questioning how the singer has maintained their popularity for so long

I ain't got no platinum watch
Denying ownership of certain luxury items

No platinum grill or no platinum chain
Continuing to disavow alleged possessions

But I always make sure that I do my thang
Asserting the artist's individuality and self-expression

And do what it takes to go switch them lanes
Willingness to evolve and adapt in order to succeed

And while y'all lookin at me
Acknowledging attention from others

Y'all niggas gettin mad up in V.I.P
Alluding to jealously from others in a VIP setting

Cuz I'm out here runnin with them P.Y.T's
Hanging out with 'Pretty Young Things'

And you know niggas ain't gettin to T.L.C
Suggesting that others are not being treated as well as the artist

Ice Cream's?
Checking if the listener wants ice cream

Check
Affirmative response

Nike Air's?
Checking if the listener has Nike Air shoes

Check
Affirmative response

Everything you got man, it's right here?
Asking if the listener has what they need in the singer's presence

Check
Affirmative response

It's a nice day, chicks wanna play
Describing a pleasant atmosphere

So hop in the whip and lets blast some Jay
Inviting someone to join the singer and listen to Jay-Z music in the car

How you gon say that I don't get loud
Disputing claims that the singer is not outgoing

How you gon say that I don't bring crowds
Refuting assertions that the artist is not popular

Everywhere I go man I rock the spot
Suggesting the artist is successful wherever they go

And when I touch down man the block is hot
People take notice when the artist arrives

400 Degreez you can here it knock
Referring to a popular album by rapper Juvenile

And you see em come thru to the parkin' lot
People come to see the artist at a parking lot

I can go ahead and spend 20K
Boasting about the ability to spend large sums of money

And make it double back by the next day
Implying that the singer is capable of making profitable investments

Nah this ain't Jigga
Denying that the singer is Jay-Z

Nah this ain't 50
Explicitly stating that they are not 50 Cent

Nah this ain't Diddy
Confirming that they are not Sean Combs/P. Diddy

Man this shit pretty
Expressing pride in their own appearance/brand

I need Nike Tech Fleeces, Jesus Pieces
Naming desired clothing/accessories

If you can't get that, nigga fall back
Advising someone to step back if they cannot provide what the artist wants
