Verse 1

"Shades on, I'm boul with the glasses
Bro say er 'cause he a savage
So many dead opps, so many ashes
You can't catch that, I can't pass this
Shooter stay strapped, I don't need mine
Bro put belt right to they behind
The way that switch brrt, I know he dyin'
67, I just blipped right in the highway
I just blipped right on the highway
Trackhawk, mm, sittin' in the driveway"

In this first verse, Skrilla sets the scene with a mix of bravado and reality. He starts with a confident tone, wearing shades, which symbolizes a tough exterior. The mention of "dead opps" suggests a deep connection to violence and loss, reflecting the harsh truths of street life. The lines about his shooter being prepared highlight themes of loyalty and readiness for conflict. The imagery of driving fast on the highway conveys a sense of urgency and escape, while the mention of a "Trackhawk" signifies status and power. The verse effectively introduces the gritty world he navigates.

Chorus

"Pull up, doot doot, doo-doo, doot doot
Dump truck, baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo
I popped the Perc' and popped the blue
I geek-geek like the custys too
Say it in rap, but we can smack out
Pull up clean in my white tee, rollin' of a honey too
Diamonds VV, straight from Lex
And I got custom pendant waitin', wait till when you see that, ohh
Pull up back to back, matte-black Track, I just blipped it, nyoom"

The chorus emphasizes action and a carefree attitude. The playful repetition of "doo-doo" contrasts sharply with the serious themes of the verses. Here, Skrilla talks about popping pills, which hints at escapism and the high-energy lifestyle that comes with it. The line about pulling up in a "white tee" and showing off diamonds connects material success with street credibility. This part serves as a catchy hook, repeating the themes of confidence and lifestyle choices, while also hinting at the underlying struggles.

Verse 2

"Throw some D's on that bitch like Rich Porter
Hurricane like bay-bay-bay-bay
Hurricanes like my Chris boy
Maison Margiel, I'm forever gon' dip, boy
Send my shooter on a hit, boy
I'll middle-man a whole body
Straight thuggin', free Blick, fightin' triple homi'
Take a tour, so I just yack
I just did 12 inside a Scat
Swapped the vin and got it wrapped
Bitch, we bippin' overnight"

In this verse, Skrilla again mixes references to pop culture and street life. The mention of "Rich Porter," a well-known figure in the drug scene, connects his lifestyle to a legacy of hustlers. The "Hurricane" references evoke chaos, indicating the unpredictable nature of his life. He talks about sending a shooter on a hit, reinforcing themes of violence and loyalty. The line about doing time adds a layer of vulnerability, showing the consequences of his choices. The verse builds on the first by deepening the narrative of living on the edge, while also reflecting on the costs of such a lifestyle.

Chorus

"Shades on, I'm boul with the glasses
Bro say er 'cause he a savage
So many dead opps, so many ashes
You can't catch that, I can't pass this
Shooter stay strapped, I don't need mine
Bro put belt right to they behind
The way that switch brrt, I know he dyin'
67, I just blipped right in the highway
I just blipped right on the highway
Trackhawk, mm, sittin' in the driveway"

The chorus repeats, bringing back the confident swagger from the beginning. It reinforces the main themes of the song, emphasizing the intensity of street life and the constant presence of danger. The repetition serves to anchor the listener in the emotional landscape Skrilla is painting.
