Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slammin
Half a thang of heron in the bathroom
Keep an ak and the backup in the backroom
Cook a meal clean and she suck me like a vacuum
Took a vacation to the county, I'll be back soon
Sent a couple zero's, money on my j-pay
Payin off the c-o's, smoking on the gateway
Word around the block when I was locked she gave my thang away
Bout to have a baby with a nigga, thats what they say (they say)
Damn
Well please say it ain't so
Took off the glove, say it's love when it ain't though
Her classmate was coming over, that was strange though
Apparently the homework ain't all he came for
Maybe yous a stank ho, maybe that's a bit mean
Maybe you grew up and I'm still living like I'm sixteen
Like a child running wild in these sick streets
Man I put that bitch up on her feet, she cut a nigga deep

Damn
Bitch
That's why I treat these hoes the way I treat em
That's deeper than a motherfucker baby, know what I'm sayin

Slammin!
Smack it up and flip it, then I rub it down
Zip it up, and then I ship it to another town
Smokin hella weed while me and Willie bust a couple pounds
She used to like that type of shit, now we don't fuck around
Girl you used to say them other niggas wasn't hood enough
Got your hood degree, now niggas from the hood ain't good enough
Bitch you wasn't trippin when that old school was pullin up
You was short on ends at your college, you would put em up (put em up)
Well bitch I'm out here puttin on
I hope you feel the pain I'm feelin when you hear this song
Don't want a nigga that's gonna slang shit up in your home
But you ran off and got engaged, man that shit was wrong
All to a nigga that dont got nothin that I ain't got
Only difference is he trying to be a fuckin astronaut
Saw this pussy nigga when I walked up in the barber shop
Green as a leaf, lookin sweet, that cut a nigga deep

Damn
So these the type of niggas you fuckin with now baby?
Square ass motherfucker, you used to love a thug nigga

Uh
I loved her and she loved him, so I never touched him
She's got his baby in the oven, so it's mother fuck him
Ain't trippin cuz you got a nigga, I just think you rushin
But leavin him to be with me ain't part of our discussion
Plus I'm on the road now, different color hoes now
Layed back on the dope, I'm getting dollars off my shows now
Bitches wanna tie me down, but I ain't in that mode now
Five years later, why you calling up my phone now? (phone now)
Well bitch, how you get the number?
Like every other month I'm switching up that motherfucker
Back on the bus I used to finger fuck her singing Usher
Down on my luck and then she upped and left me for a sucker
I reminisce on all the crazy shit we did
You and me forever, shit we say when we was kids
She say I'm havin problems and I pray that he forgive
When he find out the baby ain't his, that cut a nigga deep

Damn
What the fuck?
What you trying to say baby?
The baby ain't his?
Who's is it?

An astronaut wouldn't have let himself get pushed around like that.

@codyjohnhamblin

The comments that come up on rap videos never cease to amaze me

@SuddenlyShaymin

Allen Iverson Did you not listen to the song? "Only difference is he trying to be a fucking astronaut" Freddie Gibbs is saying that the guy his bitch is fucking is trying to be an astronaut. theneedledrop is saying an astronaut (the guy Gibbs's hoe is with) wouldn't get pushed around like Freddie is.

@codyjohnhamblin

Not the entire song, no. Wasn't really feeling this one

@donsavant6170

did you miss the fact that, that part didn't actually happen

@dannyferry9518

SuddenlyShaymin I guess Allen Iverson has been trolling the internet since he left the nba hahaha.  Allen Iverson has no time for practice, listening to full tracks, or anything besides youtube comments
