22Gz began gaining a following back in 2016 after he released the singles “Blixky” and “Suburban”. The latter, which was produced by London based drill/UK grime producer AXL Beats, is regarded as one of the first major Brookyln drill songs to become popular.
He was later signed to Kodak Black’s Florida based label, Sniper Gang, in 2018.
His first major mixtape, The Blixky Tape, was released through Atlantic Records in the summer of 2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Treesh, treesh (mom, Money is making beats again)
Gang, gang
My drip come from overseas, my bitch come from overseas (treesh, treesh)
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz, bro just rolled another splee
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz (Joke's up), bro just rolled another splee (gang, gang, gang)
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
Ice cold (Drip), she tell me I'm ice cold (it ain't even like that, though)
Draco, I'm toting the Micro (bow, bow, bow, bow, Micro)
Treesha? Hell nah, we don't wife those (treesh, treesh, treesh)
Michael, diamonds dancing like Michael (Jackson)
Hop out a foreign whip, I'm with a foreign bitch (I'm with a foreign bitch, treesh, treesh)
Louis and Christian Dior they can't afford to dress (they can't afford this shit)
Balenci, Versace, Ameri I cop it I want this shit (drip, drip)
And I keep a blick in my pocket, I'm booted, I'm off this shit
My drip come from overseas, my bitch come from overseas (treesh, treesh)
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz, bro just rolled another splee
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
My drip come from overseas (drip), my bitch come from overseas
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz (Joke's up), bro just rolled another splee (gang, gang, gang)
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
Bitch, I'm with all of the static (Bitch, I'm with all of the static)
I put in work, we writin' captions, put an opp name in the status (stackin')
Twirlers and blickys, we causing a havoc (twirl, twirl)
Too many stains on the ratchet (too many stains on the blick)
My little hitter the number one draft pick
Shooter like Lou from the Mavericks
Niggas be cappin' like they movin' tactic
My drip come from overseas, my bitch come from overseas (treesh, treesh)
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz, bro just rolled another splee
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
My drip come from overseas (drip), my bitch come from overseas
Whip foreign, push to start, I don't even need a key (skrrt, skrrt)
We smokin' runtz (Joke's up), bro just rolled another splee (gang, gang, gang)
I'm movin' spicy, I make it hot (blicky, the blicky, the blicky, the blicky) but all my chains on freeze
