Lyrics

She said

Expresses that a woman is speaking

She said all your jewelry got me open

She admires the speaker's jewelry, finding it attractive

And she could turn my bed into an ocean

Suggests intimacy, as she can transform the speaker's bed into an "ocean"

But I don't mix my henny with emotion

Speaker avoids mixing alcohol (henny) with emotions

And I won't my money with a hoe

Declares a preference not to share money with a promiscuous person

I'm too busy caught up in the moment

Speaker is absorbed in the present moment, possibly distracted

If I take you out it's a commotion

Going out with the speaker causes a scene

And Drizzy told me first I guess it's just the motion you know how it goes

Refers to advice from "Drizzy" (likely Drake) about emotions and relationships


She just wanna glow

The woman desires attention and recognition

Now you want some tickets to my shows

She wants access to the speaker's concerts

Now you're switching up if I say no

She reacts negatively if the speaker refuses her requests

And I got 60 texts up in my phone

Speaker receives numerous messages, possibly from different people

But tonight it's getting shut down

Announces the imminent end of the night's activities

Shut down

Repeats the declaration of shutting down

Yeah my whole crew shut down

Asserts that the speaker's entire group is ending the night

When we come through the whole club shut down

The club becomes inactive when the speaker and the group arrive

Don't ask me for a picture you'll get shut down

Discourages requests for photos from the speaker

Cause I was in the trenches but I'm up now

Speaker has overcome challenging situations and is now successful

Up now ya my whole crew up now

Confirms the success of the entire crew

They were sleeping on the kid but they up now

People underestimated the speaker, but they now acknowledge the success

Don't ask me bout my chain cause it's a bust down

Advises against asking about the speaker's expensive chain


No I ain't the same if you know me

Denies being the same person as before

I've been hanging with the mob like I'm tony

Associating with a powerful group, possibly referring to the mob

I don't wanna go back to the old me

Rejects reverting to a previous, less successful self

I was in the trenches by my lonely

Recalls a difficult period spent alone in challenging circumstances

A nigga went from winners to brioni

Transition from a challenging situation to luxury brand Brioni

My neck and wrist the furthest thing from cozy

Describes the opulence of the speaker's neck and wrist accessories

And you know I still got ties with the homies

Still maintains connections with old friends

We was moving product by the OZ

Previous involvement in illegal activities, likely drug-related

Yeah, we was ruthless

Emphasizes ruthlessness in past actions

Told a pussy nigga watch they mouth cause I got shooters

Warns others to watch their language as the speaker has armed allies

I don't fuck with these niggas cause these niggas is clueless

Doesn't associate with ignorant individuals

Yeah they see my wave and try to ride it like a school bus

Others imitate the speaker's success but lack understanding

But I've been going ghost

Choosing to remain unseen or detached

This the shit that make me wish that I was broke again

Reflects on the challenges of wealth and wishes for simplicity

Back when I was moving on the low key

Recalls a period of discreet and secretive actions

when they see me they be acting like they know me

People act familiar upon seeing the speaker, even if they don't truly know him


But tonight they getting shut down

Reiterates the shutdown theme for the night

Shut down

Restates the closure of activities for the evening

Yeah my whole crew shut down

Confirms the collective action of the entire crew in ending the night

When we come through the whole club shut down

The club becomes inactive when the speaker and the group arrive

Don't ask me for a picture you'll get shut down

Discourages requests for photos from the speaker

Cause I was in the trenches but I'm up now

Speaker has overcome challenging situations and is now successful

Up now ya my whole crew up now

Confirms the success of the entire crew

They were sleeping on the kid but they up now

People underestimated the speaker, but they now acknowledge the success

Don't ask me bout my chain cause it's a bust down

Advises against asking
