Tracphone
Latrell James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said god give me warning
Please take me before the morning
So I leave more disappointments than I ever will appointments
Give a fuck about your feelings
Rub it in, this your ointment
Can’t depend on oinker
Find your pig in a blanket
Find a stick through your anus
Give a rib for your statement
This the shit and the pavement that it’s on word is born



I’ve been on like a tracphone I ain’t going back home
Say what I do trick, yeah I think I’m taxstone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
No I’m lying gentrifying got the black gone
They put the pills up in your city cause the crack gone
And your ass still ain’t got no backbone
I’ve been on like a tracphone I ain’t going back home
Say what I do trick, yeah I think I’m taxstone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
I’ve been on like a tracphone I ain’t going back home
Say what I do trick, yeah I think I’m taxstone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
I might drown I feel frozen
My eyes wide like I’m homer
I need cash and a lawyer
Break the sentence: semi colon
Get your facts all in order, this the tactical enforcers
Don’t you ever take a knee, they gon’ plaxico it for ya
We was never built to grow here even if we’re from the soil,
Find a nigga that owns oil, yeah I’m young but I ain’t stupid
They’ll be 50 squad cars outside for loud music
Yelling all up in my face like what you doing
It’s a party and we’re at the church
With Pastor skirts, and mad perverts and mass murder
Got a gun, got a mask in the passenger
Throw the motherfucking money in the bag yer yer
Do the dash skrt skrt, plus I’m fast skrt skrt
If you ain’t first then you are motherfucking last skrtt skrtt
When I see a bunch of people from my past skrtt
I just laugh skrtt skrtt, I just laughed skrtt skrtt
Cause I ain’t mad skrtt skrtt cause
I’ve been on like a tracphone I ain’t going back home
Say what I do trick, yeah I think I’m taxstone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
I’ve been on like a tracphone I ain’t going back home
Say what I do trick, yeah I think I’m taxstone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone
Go where I live, oh you gon’ need a chaperone

Overall Meaning

In Latrell James's song Tracphone, the lyrics express a sense of weariness and caution towards life. The opening lines, "I said god give me warning, Please take me before the morning, So I leave more disappointments than I ever will appointments," seem to indicate a desire for an early death so that the singer does not have to face the disappointment they expect their future holds. The lyrics also suggest a disregard for others' feelings and a willingness to cause harm, as seen in the lines "Give a fuck about your feelings, Rub it in, this your ointment." The reference to Taxstone, a controversial hip-hop personality who was involved in a shooting incident, further emphasizes this tough and confrontational attitude.


Overall, the lyrics in Tracphone paint a picture of a tough, streetwise individual who is jaded and disillusioned with the world around them. They have seen and experienced too much to maintain a naive or optimistic outlook and are determined to make it on their own terms, even if it means causing others harm. The use of dark imagery, such as "find a stick through your anus" and "mass murder," underscores the sense of danger and violence that lurks beneath the surface of the singer's world.
