Stop all that frontin', I can't take that shit

A lot of money, gotta make that shit

She said that she love me, I replace the bitch
Indicating a lack of commitment in a relationship, willing to replace a partner who claims to love but doesn't meet expectations.
That's just the way it is
Highlighting the acceptance of the way things are, suggesting resignation to the realities of life and how circumstances unfold.
That's just the way it is
-That's just the way it is
-That's just the way it go
-Running to a bag, what they waiting for?
Questioning why others aren't actively pursuing opportunities for financial gain.
I just left the jeweler, made it rain and snow
Recently visited a jeweler and spent money on luxurious items, possibly referring to jewelry.
Pockets long like rulers but I still need more
Despite having considerable wealth, there's a desire for more.
Diamonds on me cooler when I'm lifting up the doors
Enjoying expensive items such as diamonds on cars.
You gon' break your pockets doing shit you can't afford
Warning against overspending or going broke to maintain an image.
I was on the block, I wasn't trying to do no chores
Prioritizing street life over mundane tasks.
Tresso tell me "Let's go hit a stain" I'm like "Of course"
Ready and willing to commit crimes with friends if asked.
Bitch I took a shot and won the game late in the fourth
Referring to taking a risk that paid off, equating it to winning a game in the final moments.
My bitch from over the water, I'm calling drugs for the water
Having a partner involved in illegal activities or linked to locations abroad for drug supply.
Avianne my chain, I don't order
Mentioning a jeweler, Avianne, known for making custom jewelry.
The pack came from over the border
Getting supplies (likely drugs) from another country.
Exploring the money like Dora
Enjoying the process of making money like the adventurous character Dora the Explorer.
Money piling from the floor up
Expressing a desire to accumulate and handle large amounts of money, willing to close a store to do so.
I'ma cash out, close the store up
-Bring the racks out, put some more up

I'm trying to get rich, I'm walking around with a lot of blue chips
Striving for wealth, carrying valuable assets (blue chips) while aiming for success.
Can't trust that bitch, won't give her my heart
Avoiding emotional attachment to a woman due to the fear of betrayal or change in behavior.
'Cause the ho gon' switch
Anticipating a woman's potential disloyalty, being cautious.
She on my dick, 'cause she want a boss, she know how I live
Attracting women who admire a powerful lifestyle.
On to something, that nigga on to something
Confidently stating musical success and impact, comparing it to explosive events like dropping bombs.
Every time a new song is coming
-Like I'm dropping a bomb or something
-Look at my arm, it's flooded, might hit your broad and dub it
Showing off expensive jewelry and the determination to succeed despite starting from the bottom.
Gotta make it from the bottom, my niggas all above it

First thing's first, Jay gotta have it

When we see the damn bag, better grab it
Urging to seize opportunities when they arise.
Balmain, paid a lot for the fabric
Spending significant amounts on high-end fashion but making the money back quickly through hustling.
But I make it right back, like I'm trapping

Your rent, probably spent on my fabric
