Similar to Common’s “I Used to Love H.E.R.” and Eminem’s “25 to Life”, this song uses a woman as an extended metaphor for hip-hop. In this case, the woman is one of high-maintenance who latches onto any man (i.e.: rapper) who can meet her expensive tastes (which are a metaphor for mainstream hip-hop...
[Hook]
My baby needs a diamond sky
Caviar and moonlight wine
She hasn't yet been up on my
If she'll take me
[Verse I: Natti]
She got me chasing dreams, shoe strings tied together
While niggas flaunt her for quarters, don't want her but need the cheddar
But I can't fall playa for her, letting him slay her
While this broad out in a brawl in more houses than prayer
Yearning for affection, but burning with no protection
Cause every bit of bread I make I'm earning for bill collection
Instead of pitching in she switching men, but come back to me
Cause she know when I freak her the speakers'll come factory
Lost jobs, behind time spent on love
These chicks didn't mix with [?] men, hard love
Got me flaming trees, cough and I name them trees
Speaking on past relations that became emcees
But financially, I lack the Jack to tame them needs
There's other fish in them, but I ain't trying to sell them seeds
I ain't no fisherman, just out looking to poll please
But a man only stand so much begging on both knees
[Hook]
[Verse II: Deacon the Villain]
I said I give this bitch my time, dedicate my grind to her
Offering my best sweat, bent all these lines [?] her
This bitch a dime, and she know it hard to get chicks
Bills, but plays tricks, plus cars they get slicks
Sliding past like opportunity, I try to catch them
But I'm using both hands to hold up my world
Riding fast is consuming me, I'd die to fetch her
Boy I ain't a man if I don't marry this girl
The swirl of joy and pain, sunshine and rain
Feeling like a player missing open layups in the game
Is it a shame to sacrifice my logic over pussy?
Been trying to help Common save this ho since I's a rookie
It's feeling like a lost cause, all y'all got her on some bullshit
That [?] nappy roots, I'm like aw naw
But I want her to stay because I love how we lay
Lady keep fucking with a nigga, let me show you the way
