Honestly (feat. Juice WRLD) by G Herbo (2024)

And we sippin' purple nigg*, yeah

Honestly (Ayy, Southside, where you get all that drip?)
Honestly
Everything I wanna be
Gotta work 'til it come to me
Ain't wanna be no wannabe
Enemies they under me

Honestly I wanna be
On the beach, white sand up under me
Comfortably (comfortably)
I just want a hunnid G's (hunnid G's) Foreign V's (foreign V's) Louis V (Louis V)
They like, "who is he?"

Honestly when I was broke as f*ck, you ain't notice me
You thought days I was posted up at the county jail where I'm 'posed to be
Now young nigg* eating overly
I got hunnids old as trees
And money don't grow on trees
But I'm gon' blow it like leaves, ayy
Pull up with turbo V's, ayy
Two-door AMG's, ayy
I started witnessing some of the sh*t that felt like it was make-believe, ayy
Lil' nigg* neck on freeze, ayy
Spent 100 racks on these, ayy
Seen't 'em tryna keep up and then lost everything, I can't let that happen to me, ayy
Feeling alive, I'm so happy to be, ayy
You killing my vibe, f*ck how long you bitches you see me
Be happy for me, ayy
I'm fresh all the time, but you know my kicks ain't Buscemi
Capital G Fazos
Nike need me on the payroll
I just took these off a day ago
Killers gon' do what I say so
Angels gon' give you a halo
And we got money to lay low
Now when it come to the bread, I go with it like mayo
Can't let it go to my head
I had way too many days, bro

Honestly
Honestly
Everything I wanna be
Gotta work 'til it come to me
Ain't wanna be no wannabe
Enemies, they under me
Honestly I wanna be
On the beach, white sand up under me
Comfortably (comfortably)
I just want 100 G's (100 G's), foreign V's (foreign V's), Louis V (Louis V)
They like, "who is he?"

I say honestly
I need honesty
Get rich and I make my mama proud of me
A young rich nigg*, that's what I'm 'bout to be
Rolling gas, boy, yo sh*t not loud to me
I'm getting used to the fame, nigg*s crowding me
I got demons and these nigg*s brought 'em out of me
I'm on my boss sh*t, ain't no clowning me
Let's f*ck up Saks Fifth, hit the town on me
Me and Herbo pull up in a Bentley coupe
Ain't not telling what we'll say or what we'll do
Smoke Gelato out the zip, feel like jet fuel
We'll never let a f*ck nigg* know our next move
Run up them big bags, that's what we into
We just some real nigg*s, look what we been through
I put Gucci on my backpack, but I don't like school
I know you may love me, but bitch I don't like you

I just want 100 G's (100 G's), foreign V's (foreign V's), Louis V (Louis V)

In G Herbo's song "Honestly," the rapper shares his aspirations and ambitions after overcoming his past struggles. The song's opening line, "And we sippin' purple nigg*, yeah," refers to drinking purple lean, a mix of cough syrup and soda used for recreational purposes. Herbo goes on to express his desire to achieve his dreams, work hard to obtain them, and never be a wannabe. He also acknowledges that he has enemies who are envious of his success and want to bring him down.

The rapper reminisces about his past when he was broke and unnoticed. He references spending time in jail, where people thought he was supposed to be, but now he has risen above that and is eating well. Herbo boasts about his wealth and status, which he has earned through his hard work and dedication. He enjoys the luxuries of life, like driving fast cars, having flashy jewelry, and wearing expensive designer brands. Despite his success, Herbo stresses that he won't let fame get to his head, and he remains humble.

The song's chorus emphasizes Herbo's desire to live a comfortable life, with 100 G's in his pocket, foreign cars, and luxury goods. He wants to relax on a beach with white sand under him and not worry about enemies plotting against him. In the second verse, Herbo boasts about his newfound fame and how it has changed his life. He mentions his newfound wealth, the attention he has received from fans, and the demons that come with the success.

And we sippin' purple nigg*, yeah
We are drinking lean (purple drank)
