Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just ballin' with my chick, aye
Drive through Collins with my chick, aye
Got her hands all on my drink, aye
Let her take a couple sips, aye
Play my roll because she lit, aye
Cartier all on her wrist, aye
Under pressure, she don't switch, aye
All that pressure, now we gliss, aye

(Woo) Santa Claus, don't trust no elves
Fuck you mean? I barely trust myself
Come outside in my Jordan twelve
If I see twelve, I'm doin' twelve
Aye, goddamn, they couldn't stand you
Now you pullin' up, different cities, they demand you
Codeine in my cup, blink as fuck, actin' brand new
Numbers goin' up, countin' up what I ran through
Twelve, come outside in my Jordan twelve
If I see twelve, I'm doin' twelve
Goddamn, they couldn't stand you
Now you pullin' up, different cities, they demand you
Twelve

I'ma kiss my bitch goodbye
Right back all on that block, I scale it with my eyes
Dodgin' warrants made a nigga feel alive
What would I do to buy Rick Owens? No surprise
Hey, I was stretchin' like a jeweler (like a jeweler)
Can't measure up, my money dirty like my Ruger
Google me, ain't got no patience for the rumors
Don't play with fire, yeah that youngin' like a kuma

She got a trunk on her, but she gave me headlight
When I'm blue she get nude in the red light
When the head's good when I go to bed good (nothin' wrong)
When the head's good usually when the bread's good (nothin' wrong)
I'm comin' down slow like a parachute, shawty
I could put forever into context, shawty
Know you got a man but he embarrass you, shawty
Yeah, we should cut him like we on set, shawty

Santa Claus, don't trust no elves
Fuck you mean? I barely trust myself
Come outside in my Jordan twelve
If I see twelve, I'm doin' twelve
Aye, goddamn, they couldn't stand you
Now you pullin' up, different cities, they demand you
Codeine in my cup, blink as fuck, actin' brand new
Numbers goin' up, countin' up what I ran through
Twelve, come outside in my Jordan twelve
If I see twelve, I'm doin' twelve
Goddamn, they couldn't stand you




Now you pullin' up, different cities, they demand you
Twelve

Overall Meaning

In "12" by 88GLAM, the singer describes a night out with his girl where they drive down Collins, presumably a street in Miami, and enjoy each other's company. The girl enjoys his drink, and he lets her have a few sips. He plays it cool despite feeling the pressure of the night, and she continues to impress him. Then the lyrics shift as the singer talks about not being able to trust anyone or even himself. He wears his Jordan 12s and if he sees "twelve," a reference to the police, he will flee. The singer has become successful and is now in high demand in different cities, and he is relishing in that success while holding onto the codeine in his cup. The lyrics then take a turn for the worse as the singer discusses dodging warrants and buying expensive designer clothes. He is now paranoid and feels like he can't trust anyone, but he's willing to cut through any problems to get to his girl.


The lyrics in "12" tell a story of living it up while living on the edge. The singer is successful and is enjoying the fruits of his labor, but he is also paranoid and feels like he can't trust anyone. The lyrics also contain references to Santa Claus not trusting the elves, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for not trusting anyone who works for him. Overall, the song conveys a sense of fear and anxiety while also celebrating success.
