Family Ties
Baby Keem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jump in that (huh, huh) jump in that fire (huh)
Jump in that bitch, hittin' that fire
Jump in that whip, thumbin' that bitch
Cum in that bitch (ho), drummin' that (huh, huh)
Drummin' that bitch
Choppa doin' circles, it's a Bird, Bird
Take him to the party, he's a nerd (pop out)
I seen niggas hittin' corners in the motherfuckin' 'burbs, huh (pop out)
Done politickin' with the competition, what's the word? (Yeah)
Put that on my mama, nigga, eight in the process
Nigga tryna tippy-toe through the progress
Tongue-tied when the truth is an object
What's the pros and the cons of this next check?
Wasn't nobody 'round, I was independent
In the '90s, sittin' bum with the windows tinted
Heard a bum got a strap in the party
Who the fuck let this- in the party?
Beat 'em up, beat 'em up, beat 'em up, beat 'em up
I was seein' double in the projects
Mad at myself when I put it to the side
Mama had to cater for the coupe
That we rode after school on the way to Popeyes
And niggas wanna play both sides
It's a red dot, don't get on the wrong red eye
It's a headshot, Damien Kane, woo them guys
Fuck around and bury two of them guys
I'm OD in Paris, I'm OD in France
I thought that I told you, I need the advance
Put down your IG and look through my lens
A million to grandma, who did I offend?
The girl of your dreams to me is a fan
I netted ten million and did a lil' dance
I'm fuckin' the world, I unzip my pants
My uncle G told me that I had a chance
So then I popped out and did it again
And did it again, and did it again
I cannot respect them, where did he begin?
Advice from the council, let nobody in
Been swervin' through rumors, avoidin' the trends
And duckin' the hoes, I'm duckin' the loonies that come with the shows
I'm grateful to Man-Man, he opened up doors
A bunk on the tour bus to come and compose
I reach to the stars on my tippy toes
This greatest success where most niggas fold
I tell you my past, that shit don't get old
But how could you ask, like I don't be writin' my raps
These critics got everyone tapped
You gotta relax, the city where nobody sleep
Just tap in and ask where I'm at, ho
Smoking on your top five tonight, tonight
Yeah, I'm smokin' on your, what's her name, tonight, tonight
Smokin' on you, shores, ain't two-nine, yeah, two
I am the omega, pgLang, Rollie gang, SIE
Don't you address me unless it's with four letters
I thought you'd known better
I been duckin' the pandemic, I been- social gimmicks
I been duckin' the overnight activists, yeah
I'm not a trending topic, I'm a-
"Hold on, y'all niggas playin' with me, man"
I am the omega, pgLang, Rollie gang, SIE
Don't you address me unless it's with four letters
Bitch, I thought you'd known better
I been duckin' the pandemic, I been duckin' the social gimmicks
I been duckin' the overnight activists, yeah
I'm not a trending topic, I'm a prophet
I answer to Metatron and Gabriel
Bitch, looking for a better me
I am a legacy, I come from the seventy
The Al Green offspring, guns and the melody
The big shot, wrist on cryotherapy
Soon as I press that button
Nigga better get right like the ambulance's comin'
Us two on a light, Keem been through nothin'
Dave Free, got at least one B in the oven
I'm trippin', I'm juggin', my mental is amazing, brother
Pop off, only on occasions, brother
Rich nigga, mama know I made it, brother
Go figure, never caught cases, brother
Face it, brother, gracious brother
New flows comin', be patient, brother
Show my ass and take y'all to class
I can multitask like Megan, brother
2021, I ain't takin' no prisoner
Last year, y'all fucked up all the listener
Who went platinum? I call that a visitor
Who the fuck backin' them? All been falsified
The fact means this a vaccine, and the game need me to survive
The Elohim, the rebirth
Before you get to the Father, you gotta holla at me first, bitch
Smokin' on top fives
Motherfuck that album, fuck that single
Burn that hard drive (burn that shit)
Ain't nobody safe when I come up killin'
Everybody that's outside (who you with?)
Yeah, Kanye changed his life
But me, I'm still an old school Gemini (lil' bitch)
Let me jump in this bitch
Let me jump in this bitch
Two phones, but I only bring one in this bitch
One daughter, but they all my sons in this bitch
No hoes, ain't shit gettin' done in this bitch
I'm scary, I got a gun in this bitch
Smokin' on top fives
Stop playin', I'm that guy
Number two DMing my bitch
That's cool, I don't ask why
In the first verse of Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar's "Family Ties," the artists employ a range of provocative metaphors and images to relay themes of power, fame, and violence. The chorus, "Smokin' on your top five, tonight," is a boastful claim to superiority. Keem and Lamar suggest that they have surpassed their competitors in hip-hop, smoking on the tracks of artists who are not on their level. The line "Jump in that, summon that bitch" conjures up an image of summoning a vehicle with supernatural powers, suggesting that the artists are commanding their success and bringing it to them through sheer force of will. Other lines contain violent images, such as "drummin' that bitch" and "choppa doin' circles, it's a Bird, Bird," conveying a sense that artists must fight to maintain their dominance.
The second verse of "Family Ties" features a back and forth between Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar, who take turns boasting and calling out their rivals. The lyrics are dense and full of wordplay, challenging listeners to keep up with the dynamic fast-paced delivery. Lamar proclaims himself "the omega," positioning himself as the final word in hip-hop. He references the pandemic and social activism, claiming that he has stayed above the fray and remained focused on his art. He also asserts that he is a "prophet" and gives a nod to his religious beliefs, naming the archangels Metatron and Gabriel.
Overall, "Family Ties" appears to be a meditation on power, fame, and the cutthroat nature of the music industry. The artists use vivid metaphors and wordplay to suggest that they are at the top of their game and have worked hard to get there. At the same time, they acknowledge that maintaining this level of success requires constant effort and vigilance, as they must always be ready to defend their position against rivals.
