Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it's not butter
I said "Get out my crib!"
"I don't think I stutter"
You belong in the gutter
With your dirty mind
I said Netflix and pizza
But you here to grind
You be setting up a trap
That's a dollar for a redbox
I ain't ever gonna get back
You ain't ever gonna get past
Even first base
Why'd you even come to visit in the first place
Thought we were hanging out
You came over to my house
It's getting awkward now
Turn into something else
How could I not see
It was no mystery
And she was like, "Oh my gosh!"
No shit, Sherlock
You know I'm on the case
No shit, Sherlock
At first she was acting
Like everything was fine
Plot twist, she ---
I belive in magic
Magic is for real
But what you've been doing so dangerous
You'll get somebody killed
I feel bad for your mama
Every single day
You've got so much drama
That you directed your school play
I don't play no games
I ain't Lebron James
And you better think again
If you that's gonna change
Thought we were hanging out
You came over to my house
It's getting awkward now
Turn into something else
How could I not see
It was no mystery
And she was like, "Oh my gosh!"
No shit, Sherlock
You know I'm on the case
No shit, Sherlock
How couldn't I read between the lines
How could I be so blind
Everything has gotta be just fine
Better get out of my trap house
Thought we were hanging out
You came over to my house
It's getting awkward now
Turn into something else
How could I not see
It was no mystery
And she was like, "Oh my gosh! My gosh my gosh"
No shit, Sherlock
The lyrics of "Sherlock" by Astro Safari USA describe a situation where the singer has invited a girl over to "hang out" but it soon becomes clear that the girl has ulterior motives. The singer tries to initiate a relaxed evening of Netflix and pizza, but the girl is there to "grind" and tries to set a trap for him by suggesting they watch a movie from Redbox. The singer realizes the situation and confronts the girl, telling her to leave his house. The singer feels like he was blind to the girl's motives and is frustrated by the situation.
The lyrics use the analogy of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, whose ability to read between the lines and uncover the truth is well-known. The singer is comparing himself to Holmes, claiming to be on the case and investigating the girl's motives, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that the girl was using him. The phrase "no shit, Sherlock" is used as a sarcastic acknowledgment of the obviousness of the situation.
The lyrics of "Sherlock" highlight the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. The singer's frustration with the girl's deceitful behavior emphasizes the importance of being clear about one's intentions in order to avoid misunderstandings and disappointment. The song also challenges traditional gender roles, with the male protagonist taking a more passive role and the female antagonist initiating the sexual advances.

I just can't believe it
I cannot believe what is happening
Like it's not butter
It is hard to believe that this is real
I said "Get out my crib!"
I asked you to leave my house
"I don't think I stutter"
I was very clear with my request
You belong in the gutter
You behave badly and have low standards for yourself
With your dirty mind
You have a vulgar and inappropriate way of thinking
I said Netflix and pizza
I suggested hanging out together in a casual, friendly way
But you here to grind
You want something more sexual and aggressive
You must do this all the time
This is a behavior that you frequently engage in
You be setting up a trap
You are trying to manipulate me
That's a dollar for a redbox
You wasted my time and money with your actions
I ain't ever gonna get back
I will never be able to recover the time and money I lost
You ain't ever gonna get past
You will never be able to have a closer relationship with me
Even first base
You will never be able to go beyond a basic friendship
Why'd you even come to visit in the first place
Why did you come over to my house?
Thought we were hanging out
I believed we were spending time together as friends
It's getting awkward now
The situation is becoming uncomfortable
Turn into something else

And she was like, "Oh my gosh!"
You reacted with shock and surprise
No shit, Sherlock
It is obvious what is happening
You know I'm on the case
I understand the situation
At first she was acting
Initially, you were behaving differently
Like everything was fine
You were pretending that everything was okay
Plot twist, she ---
Suddenly, something changed

Magic is for real
I believe that inexplicable things can happen
But what you've been doing so dangerous
Your behavior is harmful and risky
You'll get somebody killed
Your actions could have dangerous consequences
I feel bad for your mama
I sympathize with your mother for having to deal with you
Every single day
She has to deal with the problems you cause on a daily basis

And you better think again
You need to reconsider your actions
If you that's gonna change
If you think you can treat me poorly and still expect a positive outcome
How couldn't I read between the lines
I should have seen what you were trying to do
How could I be so blind
I did not realize the full extent of your manipulations
Everything has gotta be just fine
I hope that things can go back to normal and that this does not ruin our friendship
Better get out of my trap house
You should leave my home as soon as possible
And she was like, "Oh my gosh! My gosh my gosh"
You were very surprised and shocked by the situation
No shit, Sherlock
The situation is very obvious
