Ayo For Yayo
Andre Nickatina Lyrics

Yeah

Yeah, listen to the story I'm about to tell
Another tale about that yayo
Little girl once innocent and sweet
14 introduced to the street
Started from weed, big smoke outs
Before you could exhale, blunt in your mouth
Sham, Nay, blew you blew
Now you need something else to do
A new high to try, a new place to go
Introduced to the yay to the yo
House full of girls, old and young
Plate on the table takin' one on ones
Use dollar bills just to snort the lines
You see the big girls do it so of
Course it's fine
Cocaine enforced on your mind
Now blow, then they blow in ya time

I used to go ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Choppin' and coppin' the kicks
Supplying people with they fix
Where you fit?
On Fillmore Street is where you sit
Don't go in the house 'til you move a zip
Worked a day and night shift
To stay awake, a nigga might sniff
Not too much 'cause you might slip
Instead of 28, you cookin' 26
Keep a gat and a pack in the sock
Take a couple of toots, then its back to the block
Back to the service out the sack
Experimenting with that soft, wonder 'bout that crack, huh?
One try, another try without a doubt
Papered out, always at the powder house
Day time, night time, nigga powdered out
Could've been a papered-up powerhouse

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Like you and I, super high, like superfly
One more line, one more rhyme like Peruvian fine
I can keep you down, and get you high
You like to blow? Like Boston George?
You want some more, for you and your whores?
I kick off wars, and get behind walls
And corporate doors, executive nose sore
Rich man high, eight balls and quarters
They call me, placing they orders
Bring me across the border, buyin' the cake
Before I'm sold, they take a taste
Snortin' habit, not worth affordin'
Some use me, strictly out of boredom
I hooked people before man, I warned them
I took many people out before them
Doing my job, connected wit the mob
Got President Bush, Whitney, and Bob
Many others all walks of life have one on ones with me every night

I used to go ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Ayo for yayo




Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Overall Meaning

The song "Ayo" by Andre Nickatina is a vivid description of the detrimental effects of drug addiction, specifically cocaine addiction. The lyrics speak of a young girl who is introduced to the drug and becomes addicted, spiraling into a life of prostitution and drug dealing. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ayo for yayo" which is a street slang term for asking for cocaine. The lyrics describe the destructive nature of the drug, how it can take over one's life and lead to desperate measures to obtain and use the drug.


The lyrics also touch on the supply chain of cocaine, from the drug dealers who traffic it to the rich and powerful who use it. Andre Nickatina describes himself as a drug supplier and talks about his connections to the mob, implying that the drug trade is not only prevalent but also deeply ingrained in society. Despite the dark subject matter, the song is not glorifying drug use, but rather highlighting the dangers and consequences of addiction.

Alex Friedman

This was like middle school man.... Like 2002 or 2003. Good times. Shit was sooo much more simple back then in the early 2000's before social media and stuff. Much much better times.

Jovanni Sanchez

Incoming Class of 25’ my older brother in his mid 20’s once played this on our way to wash a car since we detail and I help him out on weekends. When I heard this the beat, flow, guitar in the back, and good lyrics this was a must in my playlist. Still play this from time to time.

Teresa Cherry

That's the year I should have graduated

It's crazy how some artists almost become lost in time. When I was about 13-20 and heavy into the hip hop blogs, Andre Nickatina was always guy brought up in top 10s of people who had a different taste
