Stoo-

Haan, yeah

Up-Up-Uptown boys, nothin' live-er

Get a bag then I wiggle like Wilder

All the lil' things stop bi-bi-big things

My lil' chain costs more than yo' big chain (woo)

Fuck with me, get a bag

Fuck-fu-fuck with me, get a bag

Fuck-fu-fuck with me, get a bag

Bitch, don't block yo' blessings (woo)

B-b-bitch, don't block yo' blessings

Diamonds disco-flashin', drip toe-tagin' (tag)

Mink coat dragin', block boy trappin' (trap)

Hot boy in action, don't need caption

Rocks Dame Dash-in', neck breakdancin' (woo)

Blue mist hookah, snipe game super

She don't buss it open, call back the Uber

I'm a dog, I'm a beast, gotta own, never lease

Niggas out, leave the freaks, my condolence to the streets

Kill them TECS, on the strip, can't last, niggas frontin'

Throwin' bricks at her ass, yeah, ones and hundreds (haan)

Talkin' drip, gang poppin' and the wrist game rockin' (haan)

Trap money stop all the drug dealers robbin' (Montana)

My name ring bells, Clase Azul (Montana)

It's them Uptown boys, copy cool (haan)

Up-Up-Uptown boys, nothin' live-er (haan)

Get a bag then I wiggle like Wilder (haan)

All the lil' things stop bi-bi-big things (ayy)

My lil' chain costs more than yo' big chain (woo)

Fuck with me, get a bag

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Bitch, don't block yo' blessings (woo)

B-b-bitch, don't block yo' blessings

Montana on the rise

You-you don't want no problem with these guys

Kill this pocket, drip ziplockin'

Co-co-coupe flip-flopin', chain TikTokin'

Young-young players boss, wins with the losses

New-new drip, sauce, neck wrist faucet

Snipe don't post, might-might go ghost

She don't buss it open, fly-fly-fly back coach

Drop the dog off the leash, straight bombs I release

South Bronx, yeah, the beast, young don of the east

Still ten toes down, Mo-Mo-Montana big stepper

And you know it's goin' down when I drop like McGregor

Got-got-got it on lock, old school to the new school (haan)

My old school costs more than yo' new school (haan)

Up-Up-Uptown boys, nothin' live-er (haan)

Get a bag then I wiggle like Wilder (haan)

All the lil' things stop bi-bi-big things (ayy)

My lil' chain costs more than yo' big chain (woo)

Fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Fuck-fu-fu-fuck with me, get a bag (get a bag)

Bitch, don't block yo' blessings (woo)

B-b-bitch, don't block yo' blessings

You don't want no problem with these guys (aah!)

  ➔ Imperative + Sequence + Simile

• My lil' chain costs more than yo' big chain

  ➔ Comparative Structure (Adjective)

• Diamonds disco-flashin', drip toe-tagin'

  ➔ Present Participles as Descriptive Adjectives/Adverbial Phrases

  ➔ “disco-flashin'” and “toe-tagin'” are present participles used descriptively, implying that the "diamonds are disco-flashing" (shining brightly) and the "drip is toe-tagging" (the style is overwhelmingly good, slang for 'killing' it). An implied "are" connects them to the nouns.

• She don't buss it open, call back the Uber

  ➔ Informal Conditional Clause + Negative Simple Present + Imperative

• My name ring bells

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression + Informal Subject-Verb Agreement

  ➔ “Ring bells” is an idiomatic expression meaning to be well-known or famous. "Name" is singular, so standard English would be "rings bells." However, in informal/rap contexts, the "-s" for third-person singular verbs is often omitted for stylistic reasons.

• You-you don't want no problem with these guys

  ➔ Double Negative for Emphasis

  ➔ “Don't want no problem” is a double negative. In standard English, this would typically create a positive meaning, but in informal speech and AAVE, it is used for strong emphasis, meaning "You definitely don't want any problem."
