In a world where material wealth and status are often celebrated, this track offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the reality of street life. The artists weave a narrative of their experiences growing up in an environment where drug dealing was seen as one of the few viable options for survival. With references to their humble beginnings, they paint a vivid picture of their journey from poverty to success in the music industry. However, despite their current affluence, they never forget the advice from their mothers against engaging in illegal activities - symbolized by the 'seventeen five, same color t-shirt'. This serves as a reminder of their past struggles and an admonition against returning to that lifestyle. In essence, this song is both a celebration of how far they've come and a cautionary tale about the perils of street life.

Lyrics

(Ayy)
Mama told me (ayy)
Not to sell work (mama)
Seventeen five, same color t-shirt (white)
Mama told me (ayy)
Not to sell work (mama)
Seventeen five, same color t-shirt (yeah)
Young nigga poppin' with a pocket full of cottage (ayy)
Woah, Kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin (ayy)
Had to cop the Audi, then the top, I had to chop it (skrrt, skrrt)
Niggas pocket watchin', so I gotta keep the rocket (grrah)
Neck water faucet (water)
Mockingbirds mocking (woo)
Act' pint stocking (act')
Gnats keep thottin' (gnat)
Wrist on hockey (hockey)
Wrist on rocky (rocky)
Lot of niggas copy, huh
Name someone can stop me (no one)
Bitches call me papi (bitch)
'Sace, that's my hobby ('Sace)
Scotty on the molly, pocket rocket from O'Reilly (grrah)
One off in the chamber, ain't no need for me to cock it (uh-uh)
Niggas get to droppin' when that Draco get to poppin' (frr)
All I want is cottage, roll a cigar full of broccoli (cookie)
No check, want all cash, nigga, I don't do deposits (uh-uh)
Bitches cross the border, nigga, bitches from the tropics (whew)
I'ma get that bag, nigga, ain't no doubt about it (yup)
I'ma feed my family, nigga, ain't no way around it (family)
Ain't gon' never let up, nigga, God said show my talent (show it)
Young nigga with the Anna, walkin' with the hammer (grrah)
Talkin' country grammar, nigga, straight out Nawf Atlanta (Nawfside)
Young nigga poppin' with a pocket full of cottage (ayy)
Woah, Kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin (ayy)
Had to cop the Audi, then the top, I had to chop it (skrrt, skrrt)
Niggas pocket watchin', so I gotta keep the rocket
(Ayy)

They gon' bite like vultures (vultures)
Way back when I was trappin' out Toyotas (woo, skrrt, skrrt)

Space coupe, Quavo Yoda, pourin' drank in sodas

Stop all that flexin', young nigga don't wanna go there
Never been a gopher but I always been a soldier (no)
Young niggas in the cut, posted like a vulture (woo, bah)
Divin' off the stage in the crowd, it's a mosh pit (dive)
Yeah, shawty bad, but she broke and she don't own shit
Mama asked me, "Son, when the trappin' gon' quit?" (Mama, mama)
I been ridin' 'round through the city in my new bitch (woo, skrrt)
Young nigga poppin' with a pocket full of cottage (ayy)
Woah, Kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin (ayy)
Had to cop the Audi, then the top, I had to chop it (skrrt, skrrt)
Niggas pocket watchin', so I gotta keep the rocket
(Ayy)
Mama told me (ayy)
Not to sell work (mama)
Seventeen five, same color t-shirt (white)
Mama told me (ayy)
Not to sell work (mama)
Seventeen five, same color t-shirt (yeah)
