The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Running Back" by the artist "Wale"

Contents

In "Running Back," Wale and Lil Wayne rap about their success, wealth, and lifestyle, contrasting it with others.

The main theme: money and its effect on people.

Wale:

Boasts about his girlfriend, car, authenticity, and financial stability, emphasizing that he earned everything through hard work.

Mentions friends who went through hardships but now thrive with him.

The "running back" metaphor: Wale breaks through obstacles to success like a football player.

Lil Wayne:

Has a more aggressive and boastful tone.

Talks about women chasing money and how he spends it on luxury.

Mentions drugs and a dangerous lifestyle.

Chorus:

Emphasizes the difference between Wale and Lil Wayne and those who envy them.

"Money flowing" - an image of a constant and abundant flow of money.

Title: refers to athletic success and the ability to break through to the goal, as well as a sexual connotation (running back – "attacking from behind" in slang).

[Chorus: Wale]

Bitches want money stacks, I just want my percent,

She told me to hit the hole, I used to play running back,

You ngas be fumblin', don't you give 'em no gun again,

These bitches be flyin' out, yeah, 'cause money be comin' in.

Said, the money be comin' in, the money be comin' in,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

See you ngas just run your mouth, yeah,

My ngas, we run this shit,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

[Verse 1: Wale]

Look, my bitch is on Tumblr, your bitch need a tummy tuck,

Since Jesus and Nazareth, the realest you've come across.

I be with killers just comin' home,

They only hope is me and the Quran,

They only wish is for a new chain

But they stuck up in the ankle bracelet.

I get the money stacked, see, the Moon's where it's sunny at,

And I move where the realest be,

And the quickest, see baby, you gettin' lapped.

Yeah, the DMV on the map,

That's a city, two states if you can count,

I'm as real as I say, I never lie,

So whenever I go, know I'm runnin' back.

[Chorus: Wale]

Bitches want money stacks, I just want my percent,

She told me to hit the hole, I used to play running back,

You ngas be fumblin', don't you give 'em no gun again,

These bitches be flyin' out, yeah, 'cause money be comin' in.

Said, the money be comin' in, the money be comin' in,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

See you ngas just run your mouth, yeah,

My ngas, we run this shit,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

These bitches want money stacks.

Me? I want a hundred stacks.

These bitches sellin' their soul,

Well, I want my money back.

She bounce it like jumping jacks, but she got a funny ass,

Look what them booty shots done to that,

That bitch need her money back, Lord!

She like the finer things, she said I sent her a diamond ring,

She say I buy her all kinds of things,

She lie about everything.

I put her on time out and everything,

I cut the bitch off like a thread of string,

These hoes'll say about anything

'Cause they know that y'all believe everything.

That's why I get high about every day,

All of this fog like the weather change,

Turn the strip club to a hurricane,

We got that cocaine, snow flurry gang.

And we do not play games 'bout money, mane,

She do something strange for money, mane,

Yeah, I used to play running back,

I turned that football to a money bag. I'm gone.

[Chorus: Wale]

Bitches want money stacks, I just want my percent,

She told me to hit the hole, I used to play running back,

You ngas be fumblin', don't you give 'em no gun again,

These bitches be flyin' out, yeah, 'cause money be comin' in.

Said, the money be comin' in, the money be comin' in,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

See you ngas just run your mouth, yeah,

My ngas, we run this shit,

The money be comin' in, the money be comin' in.

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

We ballin', we ballin',

Balling, hey, darling,

Sweet darling, you know we ballin',

We ballin', Wale, fuck with me!

Mula, baby!

Yeah, Blue Moon, yeah!

We gon' ball all season, whole season and post-season

For no reason, fuck with me!
