Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They want you for ransom
It's a whole lotta ways I can get my cash up
Nigga you ain't got no back up, you should back up
All the hoes say I'm handsome, I got my bands up
I got bands, now my head up for a ransom
It's a whole lotta ways I can get my cash up
All the hoes say I'm handsome, I got my bands up
I got bands, now my head up for a ransom
Nigga I ain't put no cash up for this back up
I just stay with my head up and my grass cut
Damn snakes got me fed up, I need a hand gun
I got bands now my head up for a ransom
Damn son what's the issue?
Young nigga with a chip tooth and a pistol
I got into the money, started hitting licks too
100 bands make your mans turn right against you
Run through the money, run through the money
Yeah, I like Saint Laurent so I bought a bunch of it nigga
I like throwing one's so I threw a bunch of 'em nigga
I'm making this song just to keep it 100 nigga
Now I'm going up, niggas got their hands out
Nigga you wasn't around now you my mans now
Probably want to get me clapped now, you a damn clown
Now you wanna give me dap, now you a fan now
It's a whole lotta ways I can get my cash up
Nigga you ain't got no back up, you should back up
All the hoes say I'm handsome, I got my bands up
I got bands, now my head up for a ransom
Nigga I ain't put no cash up for this back up
I just stay with my head up and my grass cut
Damn snakes got me fed up, I need a hand gun
I got bands now my head up for a ransom
I fuck it up, thumb through a check, thumb through a check
My nigga UE shooting guard dumb with the left
RJ he a referee, he gon' get the Tec
I'ma keep scoring from 3, I ain't missing yet
Listen up, if I feel a threat, I'mma hit you up
Gripped it up, chain never tucked, I don't give a fuck
When she suck she gon' lick me up
Ain't no hickeys girl just hit me up
When you wanna fuck girl just hit me up
Stickied up and I got that drink when I drive by
Stick it up, taking everything when we drive by
Moving like Christiana Aguilera, Lady GaGa
Another one, na-na-na-na-na-na
It's a whole lotta ways I can get my cash up
Nigga you ain't got no back up, you should back up
All the hoes say I'm handsome, I got my bands up
I got bands, now my head up for a ransom
Nigga I ain't put no cash up for this back up
I just stay with my head up and my grass cut
Damn snakes got me fed up, I need a hand gun
I got bands now my head up for a ransom
In "Ransom," A Boogie with Da Hoodie raps about his financial success and the people who want to take advantage of him. The lyrics suggest that everyone wants a piece of him because he's rich and successful. He flexes about his wealth, saying he has plenty of money to pay a ransom if anyone tries to take him. He also boasts about his good looks and the attention he receives from women. The chorus repeats the theme that people want him for ransom, and he has to stay vigilant against people trying to take advantage of him.
The second verse is more confrontational. A Boogie with Da Hoodie addresses people who weren't around when he was struggling, but now that he's successful, they want to be his friend. He shows his anger towards those who tried to hold him back and reveals that he's not afraid to defend himself. He mentions specific people in his life, including his shooting guard friend and his referee friend who he calls out as someone who will "get the Tec" (a reference to a gun).
Overall, "Ransom" is a song about being successful and the challenges that come with that success. A Boogie with Da Hoodie recognizes that people want to take advantage of him, but he's not afraid to defend himself and his wealth.
