Liquor Store
Amir Obe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We a team maybe you shoud try, to grow some balls you little pussy, it's do or die
Now move aside, lets find a come up, and get this dough,
Run up in the store and shoot the ceilin' and empty the drawer,
Gimme the mask, I'll hold the bag, Cory get the cash,
Pooh watch the door, Jay got the gun just dont let it go,
Unless you need to,
And after We'll make a run for the school,
Split up if we need to, but don't let nobody see you,
I'm ready, you ready?
Hold it steady, take it off safety,
It basically Halo just pull the trigger when I say so,
New pesos, just a bullet away,
Liquor stores open, walked to the door and blew it away,
Warning shots hit the ceiling, confetti fall in slow-motion and both the clerks went to kneeling,
Heard shotguns fire too, Jay hit the floor his brains hit aisle two,
I owe you (echo)
What up, what up (rest of song)
The lyrics of Amir Obe's "Liquor Store" paint a vivid and shocking picture of a group of young men planning a robbery. The song describes the lead-up to the crime, with the group discussing their plan to "run up in the store and shoot the ceiling and empty the drawer." The lyrics also reveal the group's lack of concern for the consequences, with one member urging another to "grow some balls," and the group making plans to split up afterwards and "duck the tool."
Despite the violent subject matter, there are a few interpretations that could be drawn from the lyrics. One reading may be that the song is a commentary on the cycle of poverty and crime that can trap young people in inner cities. The lyrics showcase the desperation of these characters, and the way that they view crime as a means of escape from their circumstances. Alternatively, the song could be viewed as an indictment of toxic masculinity, with the group members pressuring each other to take part in a violent, dangerous act in order to prove their manhood.
Overall, the lyrics of "Liquor Store" are raw and unflinching, making it a powerful commentary on some of the most challenging issues in our society today.

To grow some balls you little pussy
It's do or die

Warning shots hit the ceiling, confetti fall in slow motion
And both the clerks went to kneeling
Heard shotguns fire too, Jay hit the floor
His brains hit aisle two
