Lyrics
Intro: BNXN
Oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah-yeah
Whoa, whoa-oh, ayy-ayy
Oh-oh-oh, say
Chorus: BNXN
Been a long time since I learned to put rhymes together
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller
Came with my team, I came with my brothers
I swear, I’m coming from Gbagada
Been a long time, I put rhymes together
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller
Came with my team, I came with my brothers
I swear, I’m comin’ from Gbagada
Verse 1: Dave
Yeah
I can’t deal with him cah he shakes with his left hand
Married to the hustle, the money my best man
Me against the world, my girl, my best friend
I sleep in South, and chill in the West End
And I’m ready for war
If ain’t about the belly, what you bellin’ me for?
What you tellin’ me for?
Henny, I must’ve had a 20 or more
Anymore, then, I put her in Cappelli Amore
16, the wrong one to play with, pussy
Big ’44, no safety, pussy
We’re comin’ from Gbagada, niggas wanna claim the gutter
I don’t trust any woman if it ain’t my mother
‘Cause I’m a big propeller
Lean, clean, like sweet Vanilla
Remember when I had to sleep for dinner
I’ma live and live to tell the story
Everyday I give God the glory
It’s been a long time (say)
Chorus: BNXN
Been a long time since I learned to put rhymes together
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller
Came with my team, I came with my brothers
I swear, I’m comin’ from Gbagada (whoa-oh, oh)
Been a long time, I put rhymes together (been a long time, I put rhymes together)
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller (’round your block, I’m a big propeller)
Came with my team, I came with my brothers (I came with my brothers)
I swear, I’m comin’ from Gbagada
Refrain: BNXN
Do you know a G like me?
If you don’t know, I done sail a couple se-e-as
Many things I don see
So, you can’t tell me shit, my G
Do you know a G like me?
If you don’t know, I done sail a couple se-e-as
Many things I don see
So, you can’t tell me shit, my G
Verse 2: Dave
I learned to put lines together before I learned to put lines together
You know me, I stay with it
The type to bill a line before I wait in it
And we’re spinnin’ the block
Eye for an eye
That’s one-for-one like the women I block (one-for-one like the women I block)
‘Member days I would chill on the block, no stressin’ (no, oh-oh, oh)
Black car, black suit, black weapon
The Henny’s a double, they call me 007
Yeah
Chorus: BNXN
Been a long time since I learned to put rhymes together (to put rhymes together)
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller
Came with my team, I came with my brothers (I came with my breddahs)
I swear, I’m comin’ from Gbagada (whoa-oh, oh)
Been a long time, I put rhymes together (been a long time, I put rhymes together)
Spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller (spin ’round your block, I’m a big propeller)
Came with my team, I came with my brothers (I came with my breddahs)
I swear (I swear), I’m comin’ from Gbagada
Outro: BNXN
I don’t care what they say
Moni “k’owo mi pe”
Won ni pe “mo gb’omo lo’le”
But, me, I know my place
Say, me no care what they say
Moni “k’owo mi pe”
Won ni pe “mo gb’omo lo’le”
But, me, I know my place
Place
