Black Buttons
Drakeo's Game of Wealth: Decoding 'Black Buttons' Chronicles
Lyrics
Oh shit, nigga, just like, mhm
Expression of surprise or realization.
(Census, what you cookin'?)
Reference to someone named Census and a question about cooking, likely a metaphor for creating music.
This biz' internet money and that, I get lot of
Indicates involvement in internet-based business, emphasizing financial success.
Three-hundred fifty thousand up in jewelry, am I caught up?
Possession of $350,000 worth of jewelry, questioning if this attracts unwanted attention.
Another eighty-thousand in the booth, you actin' starstruck
Spent $80,000 in the recording booth, encountering people who are starstruck.
I hand out hundreds to my killers if I think my name was brought up
Willingness to reward associates with money for protecting one's reputation.
The Bentley double parked but we gon' wait 'cause you ain't 'bout nothin'
Waiting for something significant, unimpressed by empty actions.
The boy be bleedin' dead up on his block if he keep clout chasing
Warning against clout chasing, with a potential consequence of violence.
Pump fakin' 'bout nothing, none of my opps make it
Assertion that rivals are fake and lack substance.
You know my rank, when you see me, bitch, about face me
Command to recognize the speaker's status and show respect.
Niggas tried to press the button on me, I came out on top
Survived an attempt to harm or discredit, maintaining dominance.
Three-fifty on my neck, you in my car, I could've bought a house
Significant investment in jewelry, reflecting wealth.
I went and dropped fifty, poof, be gone, oops, there goes all my opps
Swiftly dealt with enemies, making them disappear.
If you ain't getting no money, what is we talking 'bout?
Questioning the relevance of a conversation without financial gain.
Oh shit, nigga
Reiteration of surprise or emphasis on a situation.
They throwin' fragrance in the building, someone caught a vibe
Perfume or positive atmosphere introduced, possibly referencing success.
'Cause if I have to get technical, I'ma chalk him out
Ready to eliminate competition with technical precision.
Twelve Bentleys double parked outside yo' mama house
Displaying wealth with multiple expensive cars outside someone's residence.
Yo' neighbors crying, asking you, "What was that all about?"
Neighbors inquiring about a disturbance caused by the speaker.
Rudy he called, he said, he runnin' out of chalk
Rudy reporting a shortage of chalk, possibly a metaphor for running out of options or resources.
He must be stupid, told him, "Nigga, watch your mouth"
Warning Rudy to be cautious in his speech.
He might be right 'cause we used it on all the opps
Suggesting the speaker's group has dealt with all adversaries.
Excuse my French, I mean used it on all the cops
Excusing the use of force against both enemies and law enforcement.
You watchin' me, bitch, you need to go change the knob
Advising someone watching the speaker to change their perspective.
Aborted babies, I'm leavin' 'em on her top
Graphic description implying violence against enemies.
VV clarity, can't see none of my watches
High-quality diamonds on the speaker's watches.
None of my opps on shit
Claiming superiority over rivals.
All of my Glocks got sticks
Emphasizing the firepower of the speaker's guns.
Who said Glocks don't jam?
Challenging the belief that a certain type of gun doesn't malfunction.
He think he Macho Man
Mocking someone for overestimating their toughness.
Turn him to taco man if he keep playin' with me
Threatening severe consequences if the person continues to disrespect the speaker.
I know you layin' wit' her, I know you stayin' wit' her
Accusing someone of infidelity.
We pull up at his mama' house, what type of shit he into?
Planning to confront someone at their mother's house.
Niggas tried to press the button on me, I came out on top
Reiteration of overcoming challenges and maintaining dominance.
Three-fifty on my neck, you in my car, I could've bought a house
Recapitulation of significant jewelry investment.
I went and dropped fifty, poof, be gone, oops, there goes all my opps
Swiftly dealing with enemies, making them disappear again.
If you ain't getting no money, what is we talking 'bout?
Questioning the relevance of a conversation without financial gain, repeating a previous sentiment.
Shit, nigga
