On the 11th track of Don’t Go Tellin' Your Momma, Topaz discusses the idea of Black celebrities pretending to be rich and putting up a front. He takes the perspective of a clout-obsessed rapper who rides trends and spends all his money on materialistic things, as a parody of this lifestyle to make a...
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
I be spending like I’m rich (Ah)
I be frontin’ like I’m broke sometimes (I ain’t got it, I ain’t got it)
Catch me stuntin’ on a bitch
Ooh baby, don’t blow my high
‘Cause I been going through withdrawals
[Verse]
Huh, gotta check my deposit, I been gettin’ outta pocket
I've been eatin’ all this brunch (Ah)
(Aww, c’mon dawg what kind of weak shit is that? You drinkin’ mamosas with your pinky up)
Haha, yeah, I’ll be in the red by the end of the month
Comin’ out the blue with my stories, boo-hoo’s and I’m sorry’s
I promise I’ll pay you right back when I get it though
I would never play you like that, what you trippin’ for?
A-a-ahh, you know I tried to sell trees
Guess I wasn’t such a trapeze artist at all, super stingy with the bag
Apologies if you bought it, I needed them sneakers bad
Bet all of my teacher’s mad I grew up to be a rapper (why they mad though?)
Used to think I knew it all, wouldn’t even read a chapter
The fame or the power, what you after? (What you want?)
Everybody want the plug, I’d rather be the adapter (Oh, oh, ooh)
Now that I got a few chips, blow the check on a new fit (Hey)
Every dinner at Ruth’s Chris, Diamonds in every tooth, it’s funny
Get you some money, they all wanna give their two cents (Ooh)
‘Til it’s in the way of you making a contribution (Ooh)
How many niggas been duped and made a dufus? (A lot)
How many niggas in coupes that won't recoup shit? (A lot)
(Ay watch out too these A&R’s taking bitches to Katana on y’all budgets talkin’ bout it’s a business meeting, you ain’t slick mothafucka)
(Ooh) It's true, okay you got a little change, boy you came up
But your own neighborhood you afraid of
Couldn’t buy the caché with what you saved up
You still a slave, even if you got your chain tucked
But I won’t let a broke boy prevent my shine
Made a clout bank account, just to flex online (Ooh, ooh)
Heard niggas asking for change but I spent all mine (Yeah)
Don’t know how I’ll pay the rent on time, ‘cause
[Chorus]
I be spending like I’m rich
I be frontin’ like I’m broke sometimes (I ain’t got it, I ain’t got it)
Catch me stuntin’ on a bitch
Ooh baby, don’t blow my high
‘Cause I've been going through withdrawals
[Outro]
Looks they can be so deceiving, ugh
False prophets we don’t believe in, no!
Cross my heart and hope to die
