Letra
Yeah, yeah, ayy, Kodak
You know what it is?
When you hear that "haan"
Yeah
I'm in London, got my beat from London
I can't lie, I turned my mama house to a museum
I'm slidin' in a BM, put my BM in a BM
I can't lie, so much bitches, I need a new DM
Ayy, I'm too appealin', yeah, all my niggas Zion (yeah)
I can't lie, Sniper Gang, I put you on a stretcher
Swear to God, the truth don't need no lie detector
I can't lie, I swear to God, I'm on a whole new level
I can't lie, I spent like half a ticket on the bezel
Through my mama on the golf course, caught a fish in the crib
Free the nigga to the ceilin', I'm in too deep, like David
With my codeine, I pop a seal, like on the real, I'm in the field
On the real, I'm tryna kill, like on the real, I stacked a mill'
I can't even lie, I'm so fly, that's why they call me Bill
My nigga lost a trial, but he 'bout to come home on a pill
I'm feelin' like I'm Kunta Kinte, 'cause we gon' do slavery still
I can't lie, I'm Israel, I can't lie, this shit real
I can't holy Israel, yeah, I'm on that Jewish shit
Got on all this Louis, now is not the time to shoot a bitch
I can't even sneeze in public, they might try to sue a bitch
I'm slidin' in that orange-colored, but I ain't on no fruity shit
I can't lie, I turned my mama house to a museum
I'm slidin' in a BM, put my BM in a BM
I can't lie, so much bitches, I need a new DM
Ayy, I'm too appealin', yeah, all my niggas Zion (yeah)
I can't lie, Sniper Gang, I put you on a stretcher
Swear to God, the truth don't need no lie detector
I can't lie, I swear to God, I'm on a whole new level
I can't lie, I spent like half a ticket on the bezel
Copped my auntie a crib, I copped a new Bugatti
Man, these hoes ain't safe, I'm on my Irv Gotti (woo)
I can't lie, I've been ridin' with that fire (bah-bah-bah)
I've been gettin' fried, since the seven-five, when Max lost the trial (wavy)
If she did you dirty once, she gon' do it twice (twice)
My dawg popped a fake Perc', man, he lost his life
I can't lie, turned my mother crib a Colosseum
Still do it for Chinx, 'til the day that I'ma see him
Told my bitch "You the one", got these hoes on my auction
Rather be talked about than me doin' all the talkin'
Same nigga shot me up, they never found the body
I can't lie, I'm so fly, that's why they call me Holly
I can't lie, I turned my mama house to a museum
I'm slidin' in a BM, put my BM in a BM
I can't lie, so much bitches, I need a new DM
Ayy, I'm too appealin', yeah, all my niggas Zion (yeah)
I can't lie, Sniper Gang, I put you on a stretcher
Swear to God, the truth don't need no lie detector
I can't lie, I swear to God, I'm on a whole new level
I can't lie, I spent like half a ticket on the bezel
I'm in London, got my beat from London
Gírias
Na letra, "BM" é um jogo de palavras que se refere tanto a um carro de luxo da marca BMW quanto a "Baby Mama", a mãe de seu filho. "Half a ticket" significa cinquenta mil dólares, sendo "ticket" uma gíria para cem mil dólares, enquanto "bezel" é a moldura externa de um relógio, frequentemente cravejada de joias. "Sniper Gang" é o nome da crew e selo musical de Kodak Black. Por fim, a menção a "Kunta Kinte" alude ao personagem do romance "Roots", simbolizando uma luta contínua contra sistemas opressores ou formas modernas de aprisionamento.
