No one on the corner has swagga like cuz
Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like ups trucks
Already going hard just pumping that gas
Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like ups trucks
Already going hard just pumping that gas
No other hustlers have style like her crew. Their presence on the corner is undeniable. She's referencing a "Burner", which is a prepaid cell phone that is used by drug dealers and other people who work the black market. Lastly in this verse, she's talking about packing up illegal goods (possibly the weed or illegal visas she mentioned earlier in the song) for delivery.

If you catch me at the border all da visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one dime in a second if you wait
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one dime in a second if you wait
She's talking about having visas for sale. The lyric is "If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name" followed by "I get one done in a second if you wait". Unlike the simile in the first line, these are crystal clear meaning, with no subliminal messaging.

'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
Altruism at it's finest. He's looking for peace and a place to belong, and is telling his lady that she has a place as long as he's around. Note they're leaving to an as yet unknown location to escape the city, so it's a pretty big statement committing to sharing life.

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
He's found inspiration! It's time to leave the city for the joys of country living! Everything in the country is a little sweeter, and the parable of water tasting like wine is a clear example.

Rock & Roll road trip music! I could've wrote this song to my motorsickle when I was arguing with the wife. It really does sound like he's had a hard go of things, and is now finding solace with a new love. Or at least hoping to. Definitely one of Bad Company's better songs, and they have A LOT of good songs!
