Oy Vey Lyrics

[Intro]
One day, leggo!

[Chorus]
One day, I'ma be so rich that I can buy my moms a house
Have a livin' room with a big TV and I'ma still sleep on the couch
I'ma have 'em like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
It seems I'm gettin' fresher every time they turn around like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow


[Verse 1]
Hey, walkin’ out the crib with a smile on my face
Superhero, utility belt tied around my waist
Tryna be next, quicker than the reflex
Tannin' down in Key West, every class recess
N-n-n-n-now my pockets deeper than ya V-neck
Hoes up on my dick 'cause I look like Ryan Seacrest
I'm buzzin' like a bees nest, stay up out my bees wax
My people like to party, so inform us where the freaks at
Livin' out my dream, people still sleepin'
The best night of your life, but we do this every weekend
Life couldn't get better, I hope it lasts forever
When I spit my verse, they gon' remember every letter like...
[Pre-Chorus]
Day in and day out
We tryna get this cake now
You think you fly? Just wait until I pull my cape out
Hey, life is good, don't waste it
We ha-ha-ha-ha laughin' at the looks on they faces

[Chorus]
One day, I'ma be so rich that I can buy my moms a house
Have a livin' room with a big TV and I'ma still sleep on the couch
I'ma have 'em like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
It seems I'm gettin' fresher every time they turn around like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow


[Verse 2]
Hey, they seem surprised, with the look that's in their eyes
How I could be myself and do away with their disguise
I advise homies to stay homies
Few people you can trust, all the OG's told me
When I was just a shawty, strummin' my guitar
Playin' my piano, had a band in my garage
Sittin' down with the homies, playin' PlayStation
Tryna find a crib where their parents on vacation
Hey, why you grillin'? Put a smile on your face, bitch
We takin' shots all around, gettin' wasted
Came a long way from freestylin' in my basement
Show some love to the people that I came with 'cause...
[Pre-Chorus]
Day in and day out
We tryna get this cake now
You think you fly? Just wait until I pull my cape out
Hey, life is good, don't waste it
We ha-ha-ha-ha laughin' at the looks on they faces

[Chorus]
One day, I'ma be so rich that I can buy my moms a house
Have a livin' room with a big TV and I'ma still sleep on the couch
I'ma have 'em like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow
It seems I'm gettin' fresher every time they turn around like
Oy vey, holy cow, oh my god, wow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Oy Vey” is a Yiddish expression meaning “oh, woe” or “woe is me” or “oh no.”

Mac’s collaborator Big Jerm provided background information about the track:

He might’ve said “Oy vey” to me because, I’m not gonna say we fought, but you know. From being around Malcolm a lot, he was kinda like my little brother in a way with the music stuff. So we would always mess with each other. So it was like he was annoyed with me [laughs]; I did something that made him say “Oy vey.” He came with that sample, too. It came together from there.

The track samples the synth bass from “True Affection” by indie duo The Blow.
