Independent
ud Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Lately been thinking bout money
Cells in my brain been tryna turn green
Stack my bands high just like Yao Ming
Pull out my Bankai, see if you mean
If I make a mess, I clean it with bleach
Pull out the bank card, take out the cheese
Men talking up thinking they got some buzz
But they Still can get stung by the bees (Uh)

Blowing on reefer
Make her hit notes like Aretha
Phone be blowing up when I'm away she want me to see her
Black and white girls in the cut, they coming like zebras
From ashes you came, its easy to make niggas meet dust
Leap up, to my level, then speak up
Know niggas who run with the heaters
My weak shit your deep cuts
Catch you niggas and force you to get off my peanuts
They saying bro meet up its too late
Cause a fiasco like Lupe
Ride round the Dub' with my new bae
My nighttime just feel like a new day
K78 raise it 'n'
The bar stay up
Drive thru the lane and I lay up
Nothing for free gotta pay up
Me and laziness just went through a breakup
I vibe with the aliens, got the flow from Andromeda
Hotter than Venus, serve like Serena
Check out the feet
Got ticks on my heels
So I kill these niggas with will (Yeah)

First I get this bread up
Fake niggas got me fed up
First I get this bread up
Fake niggas got me fed up

When I talk to that bitch I'm like what up
Said she wan' gimme head I'm like hold up (Pause)
What 'bout your mans
She said fuck her man
Have her on smash
Hands on the dash
You say men are trash while you cat for my cash
What is the catch?
I stay talking facts (Brrr Brrr)

Hit it from the back like ouu
Now she tryna act brand new

Got the ice on me like mm mm
I just dress to kill like mm mm
Bro just spent a bag on his loubs
Bro just spent a bag on his loubs!

Living unknown (yeah), that be why they call me Unr8ted
Moving on the low, when I chase the money I'm patient
Tryna get the digits on lock
Tryna get my marj a new car
Spending we don't even check the price tag
'Cuh we got the money on lock

Roll up a spliff, tryna get high
Flying away we touching the sky
Back to the future like we Marty McFly
All my niggas independent like the fourth of July
We roll up a spliff, tryna get high
Flying away we touching the sky
Back to the future like we Marty McFly
All my niggas independent like the fourth of July

If I see my ex I gotta flex
I need the cash I need the cheque
I need my girl 10 outta 10
I need my car beamer or Benz
I need the money I get it and go
Married to money Im swerving these hoes
I switch em like I switch up my flows
Get it? easy
Haters call me cheesy
Niggas bare jealous
I say "oh really?"
Is it 'cus your girl got a nigga on repeat?
She said I'm attractive, shout out my nigga Wheezy
In her private story now she bare tryna tease me
If I bring my cash out
She gon' bring her ass out
If she come to my house
I'm gon' blow her back out

Living unknown (yeah), that be why they call me Unr8ted
Moving on the low, when I chase the money I'm patient
Tryna get the digits on lock
Tryna get my marj a new car
Spending we don't even check the price tag
Cuh we got the money on lock

Roll up a spliff, tryna get high
Flying away we touching the sky
Back to the future like we Marty McFly
All my niggas independent like the fourth of July
We roll up a spliff, tryna get high
Flying away we touching the sky

Back to the future like we Marty McFly
All my niggas independent like the fourth of July
