Talk About It
A Boogie Wit da Hoodie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back around me
Money good, now she back around me
Mmm

From the X, you'll get whacked about me
Trust me, I don't need no love, I need racks around me
If you gon' talk about me, baby, talk facts about me
This time, it's different, I promise (yeah)
I make enough to put my whole projects into college (let's go)
I probably threw a hundred thousand on every bitch in Starlets (what else?)
If you really the guyza, then you gon' play it quiet
Those guys catch bodies and don't talk about it, yeah
I'm not Illuminati
But I know my niggas got my back, so I got an eye behind me
The car I'm in is about an M, but it ain't no Maserati
Look, girl, I know I ain't shit, but don't go talk about me
Yeah, mmm, I'm icy like I'm playin' hockey
But we could put the sticks down and this shit could turn to boxin'
Nowadays, I gotta do features with the tool beside me
I walk away until I'm copy if they movin' wocky (yeah)
On God, nigga, that's word to mommy
If you ask me about a body, I never heard about it
Murder, murder, murder, don't be sad about it
Nigga, if you feel some type of way, then go catch a body
My diamonds purple, yellow, and green like a bag of Takis
Them niggas catch you lackin', boy, that's your ass about it
Somebody died, niggas cried, the other side laughing 'bout it
And the feds watchin' everything, while niggas braggin' 'bout it

I'm from the X, you'll get whacked about me
Trust me, I don't need no love, I need racks around me
If you gon' talk about me, baby, talk facts about me (woo)
Shake that ass around me

They can hate, but they won't slide, 'cause I'm the wrong nigga
If you fuck with my opps, I can't do no song with you
I swear it's too much on my mind to get along with you
I'm just a heartbreak kid like I'm Shawn
I took the Patek off my wrist and it gave me welts
I popped a Perc and it was the last thing that I felt (yeah, yeah)
I promise not to love you more than I love myself this time
I looked out for you more than I looked out for myself
If you a backstabber, I'ma get you stabbed back
Runnin' your mouth around the town, that'll get you whacked, facts
And if you dumpin', I'm still here, nigga, okay, bet (okay, bet)
I'ma do whatever it takes just to get you back
I don't need no stashbox in my whip, no, I can't do that
'Cause I just feel like it's more safe with it on my lap, yeah
My nigga, please don't make me do this by myself
I swear to God, if you got my back, I'ma have your back, yeah
Voila
I ain't lyin', girl, I treated you like Nala
Anytime you asked me to jump, I said, "How high?"
And every time we go up, we do it like Zion (Zion)
I used to be a savage, bad bitch, left her starvin'
Seen my best friend mama cry, I'm so sorry
Niggas starvin', knowin' they can never stop me
Up in Startlets, hundred K to every bartender, I was wildin'
Niggas wanna get me out of here, so I gotta be violent
Why the fuck you wanna spark me? I'm just vibin'




Tryna get these demons off me, yeah
Eliantte chain cover up my fuckin' heartbeat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A Boogie wit da Hoodie's song "Talk About It" delve into a variety of themes, showcasing the artist's perspective on love, loyalty, and his experiences growing up in the X (referring to his hometown of The Bronx, New York). The song begins with A Boogie reflecting on how money has influenced people's perceptions of him, with individuals who previously disregarded him now wanting to be around him. However, he emphasizes that he prioritizes financial success over love and loyalty, stating that he needs "racks" (money) around him instead of affection. He challenges anyone who talks about him to stick to factual information rather than spreading rumors or lies.


A Boogie continues by acknowledging the differences in his life now compared to the past. He highlights his ability to financially support his community and the extravagant lifestyle he leads. He mentions throwing large amounts of money at strip clubs and notoriety, juxtaposing his success with those who engage in illegal activities without openly discussing or bragging about them. He denies being a part of any secretive and influential group like the Illuminati, but acknowledges the loyalty of his friends who have his back.


The song takes a darker turn as A Boogie addresses violence and the consequences of his actions. He mentions feeling icy (cold and distant) like a hockey player and suggests that conflicts can be resolved without weapons and turn into boxing matches instead. He talks about being cautious due to the dangerous environment he navigates, constantly aware of potential threats and carefully choosing his alliances. A Boogie mentions the avoidance of snitching, expressing his loyalty to his circle, whereas others may boast about illegal activities even though they are being monitored by law enforcement.


In the second verse, A Boogie asserts his position as someone who "won't slide" when it comes to his enemies, indicating that his retaliation will be swift and severe. He draws a clear distinction between those who support his opponents and his own loyalty, highlighting that he can't collaborate with those who associate with his enemies. He admits to having a lot on his mind, making it difficult for him to maintain positive connections with others. A Boogie reflects on past relationships, acknowledging his mistakes but also emphasizing that he prioritizes his own well-being and self-love.


Overall, "Talk About It" represents a complex exploration of A Boogie wit da Hoodie's experiences and mindset. It delves into themes of financial success, loyalty, violence, and relationships, providing insights into the artist's life and perspective.
