Didn't Wanna Do That
A$AP Ferg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the fuck them niggas be at
They took the chain up off his neck
I heard the mac started running laps
Oh, what the fuck are they goin' to do that
My nigga got stuffed he didn't want to view that
I heard they had guns I didn't want to use that
I ain't want to see Tom in the fucking boo cap
That nigga too little, they ain't want to do that
They got more hearts then most of them cats
If he had that thing, that thing go blat
Lil young trap lord with a little backpack
Feel at his pulse with a bunch of big gats
They ain't want to do that
Semi auto tech
Guns go flirt
Semi auto tech
Guns go flirt
Semi auto tech
Guns go flirt
Semi auto tech
Guns go flirt
And another one squirt
Linches on my mind
And now they got my brother
Thinking about picking up the nine
And making them fuckers lick the blood up
No need for wasting time
Them niggas gon' get it one way or another
You want to live the street life
Go ahead go ahead
Yo wicked blown living that street life
You can't live long living this street life
Got to watch your moms in this street life
They'll come to your home in that street life
4 flip from the chrome in that street life
Your chromosomes all on that street life
Some body gon' die
Body on ice
Right
The lyrics to A$AP Ferg's song "Didn't Wanna Do That" touch on themes of violence, revenge and life on the streets. The opening lines refer to someone named West who has been robbed, with the poet questioning where his friends were when this happened. Furthermore, it is revealed that the robbers had guns, and they apparently also stuffed someone who didn't want to see the aftermath. Lil Mitt is also mentioned, but the robbers didn't target him as he was too small. All of this is painted against a backdrop of a violent environment where guns are commonplace - "Semi auto tech. Guns go flirt. And another one squirt".
The second half of the lyrics continue in the same vein of violence and revenge. The poet's brother has been subject to violence, and he is contemplating taking justice into his own hands. He urges listeners that if they want to live the street life, they must be prepared to deal with its harsh realities, such as the possibility of revenge from those wronged. The final line of the song, "Body on ice. Right", seems to be a chilling reminder of the consequences of street life.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a world where violence is never too far away and revenge is a constant possibility. It also touches on themes of loyalty and friendship, with the poet questioning why people didn't step up to help their friend who got robbed. The references to guns give the lyrics a menacing undertone, highlighting the dangers of life on the streets.
