More songs by Gucci Mane
Description
The whole song is like a boastful grin with gold teeth. The words pour out in rhythm like small bills, and behind them you can hear the confidence of a person who no longer follows other people's rules, but lives by his own. There is not a shred of modesty here: jokes about “the only time” are a way of reminding us that weakness only happens on schedule, and even then, not for long.
The beats rumble loudly, like the exhaust of an expensive engine, and between the lines you can feel the energy of the street: don't complain, just get it done. The tone is bold, but with a spark of humor, as if someone is winking from the stage, showing that victory is not only about money, but also about the ability to stay afloat, even when everyone around you wants to sink.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Used to be a taker, now I'm loaded like a baked potato.
Ride the beat like 20 East on McAfee, I'm in Decatur.
Richer than my opps, these niggas broke as fuck, ain't no debating. Bitch say I'm a trip, I told her, "Nah, hoe, I'm on vacation.
" Only time you gon' see Gucci fold is at the laundromat.
Only time you gon' take Gucci hoe if he don't want her back.
Only time you gon' see Gucci broke is if I rock a cash. The only time you gon' see Gucci mad if I'm on your ass.
Huh, huh, huh, huh. This bitch think I'm a dummy, only time she call for money. Texting back with
LOL, but I don't find shit funny.
The only time I bring my soft top out is when it's sunny.
I ball like Hugh Hefner, baby, I got Playboy bunnies.
I'm in town for one night only, pull up with your buddies.
Don't ever put your hands on Wop 'cause that'll be your only time.
I know that's just a misdemeanor, but that'll be your only crime.
Watching the camera from the shower.
The only time I'm going soft is when I'm selling powder. The only time a nigga fronted me way back in ninety-five.
The only time I ever need some help when I turn ninety-nine.
And money talks and bullshit run a thousand miles, you never lie.
At funerals, only time I go to church is when somebody die.
A private plane, just me, myself, and I, and I think it's time to fly. We taking off, R. I. P. to Tate, we'll meet you in the sky.
Used to be a taker, now I'm loaded like a baked potato. Ride the beat like 20 East on
McAfee, I'm in Decatur.
Richer than my opps, these niggas broke as fuck, ain't no debating. Bitch say I'm a trip, I told her, "Nah, hoe, I'm on vacation.
" Only time you gon' see Gucci fold is at the laundromat.
Only time you gon' take Gucci hoe if he don't want her back.
Only time you gon' see Gucci broke is if I rock a cash. The only time you gon' see Gucci mad if I'm on your ass. Break me off.
If you a rat and we do a song, then take me out. The only time I hit this many hoes, shit,
I was playing golf.
Gon' be the only time she ever suck this dick 'cause I ain't gon' never call.
Young Kobe Bryant, so if you don't deserve it, I won't pass the ball. The only time you gon' see me fall off is if I miss a step.
So if you waiting on Gucci to go broke, then please don't hold your breath.
I used to pull up cooking at the house like I'm they private chef.
And the only time I seen the clique stunt like my clique was being mad.
The only time you hard is when y'all deep, you pussy by yourself. Only time I bow down to a man when I'm kneeling for prayer.
The last time a nigga tried me, I was facing a chair.
It's the only time I'm ever hitting this bitch, I'm not fucking around.
Used to be a taker, now I'm loaded like a baked potato. Ride the beat like 20 East on McAfee, I'm in Decatur.
Richer than my opps, these niggas broke as fuck, ain't no debating.
Bitch say I'm a trip, I told her, "Nah, hoe, I'm on vacation.
" Only time you gon' see Gucci fold is at the laundromat. Only time you gon' take Gucci hoe if he don't want her back.
Only time you gon' see Gucci broke is if I rock a cash.
The only time you gon' see Gucci mad if I'm on your ass.
