Lavender
BADBADNOTGOOD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My dawgs don't bark, but they get off
Fuck around and get your whole face bit off
Sinister, spit truth like a minister
So until I'm a monster, when it's the right time
Night time, nigga tryna creep
And keep from dyin' in these motherfuckin' streets
Fuck the police, from a black man's point of view
Spray that shit, say that shit
We right in front of you, each and every one of you
I'm not gon' tell y'all niggas what we gonna do
But whatever y'all did, put two on it
And put a foot on your neck with a shoe on it
Resident evil, it's all on camera and they still don't believe you
Clownin' around, don't come your clown ass 'round here
Nigga you gon' get down
Real talk, I'm leavin' all you clown ass niggas outlined in chalk
Stay black, payback from way back
I'm the homie, 'but the motherfuckin' homie don't play that

And the night will fall, this is death to you all
When the nighttime falls, this the final call
This the final call, call, call

The final call, see reparations will be tooken
For all of the shit that you motherfuckers dun' did
Now, it ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun, huh
Motherfuckers, trip this

Cut them motherfuckers off the leash
It's been a week since my dogs ate, let 'em eat
See I'ma tell you upfront and uncut
See I'm a stand up nigga, I'm a man up nigga
Get what I gotta get, a bitch nigga gon' talk a whole lot of shit
Which is the main reason why you stuck around
And I don't fuck around
I'm blowin' new purple in a new circle
I don't wanna hurt you but I will spurt you
And send you back to the earth, you
Came from, game gun
Same one, that I used in another galaxy
Actually, it's all fact to me
If I ruled the world would it come back to me?
Black to me, with my hand on that thang thang
I'm from the home of the brave, land of the gang bang

And the night will fall, this is death to you all




When the nighttime falls, this the final call
This the final call, call, call

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BADBADNOTGOOD's song "Lavender" feature the theme of violence and police brutality. The first verse warns the listener that the singer's associates may not make any noise, but they have the ability to inflict severe damage. The song expresses a feeling of rage towards the police, who often cause violence and death within the black community. The lyrics condemn the lack of justice, and despite being caught on camera- misconduct continues. The message is clear that black people have been treated unfairly and that there will inevitably be consequences. The final call, i.e., the final warning, is for reparations- a form of payment or compensation for previous harm or injuries done. The lyrics also refer to the expression, 'it ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun,' which means that when the oppressed, (or the ones perceived as powerless), gain power, payback is likely to be severe.


The chorus of the song, "And the night will fall, this is death to you all, When the nighttime falls, this the final call, This the final call, call, call," speaks to the inevitability and finality of what is coming. The message is a clear warning to those who cause harm and outlines the consequences.


The song "Lavender" featuring Snoop Dogg sparked controversy with a controversial music video. The music video portrayed a police state using clowns as symbols for police brutality, resulting in criticism from both police officers and President Trump. Additionally, the album itself generated a mixed response due to its political undertones and graphic content.
