Shame
BJ the Chicago Kid/Freddie Gibbs/Madlib Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sure you want to do this shit tonight
Because it might hurt baby, you know what I'm sayin'?
Might hurt you when I, get up in the morning and leave
Take that walk you know what I mean?
Slammin', when I hit you up I'm talking about bangin' something
Chill off in your crib and have a thing, probably make it stank or something
Play your position when them other hoes get out of order
When you wanna give me that pussy? You purchase a plane ticket
Run around town, when I bust her down they want shit like them lames did it
Got her dick whipped, my dick smeared with lipstick
Basically if this bitch lay with me she payin' me, I'm on some pimp shit, for real!
It's 2 A.M. club was bout' to close up
Thumbing through my contacts bout' to call one of my hoes up
Then I met you, kicked game and followed you to the breakfast spot
Fucked you like I married you that night up in the Marriot
Scream like you got your cherry popped
Fucking, switching up positions
Thought this shit would never stop
Motherfuck an intermission, damn!
(Here we are again)
It ain't got to be the walk of shame, baby
But that's only if you know the game, baby
Later I can't be the one to blame, baby
But for now take the walk of shame, baby
It ain't got to be the walk of shame, baby
But that's only if you know the game, baby
Later I can't be the one to blame, baby
But for now take the walk of shame, baby
Straight slammin'
Sleepin' with pistols under my pillow
We wake and bake, she up naked twistin' up cigarillos
I beat that Thursday night and Friday morning, off to work she go
Time to take that walk, just take this dick, don't take it personal
Your friends probably gonna call you a ho, but you should have known
Them bitches want a grip from the same dick you be sitting on
And your girl Monique, she be hitting me when her nigga gone
Trying to buy some weed she proceed with nothing but Vicky's on
Nothing but ass and titties, but I let that ass convince me
Took it in that, hit that, wish I could say it was accidentally
Like I stepped on a banana peel and fell in that pussy
Y'all niggas be spending all kind of scrill to get in that pussy
And she cop a seven every Friday
Chuck the deuces at her baby daddy as I pulled up out the drive-way, for real
(Here we are again)
It ain't got to be the walk of shame, baby
But that's only if you know the game, baby
Later I can't be the one to blame, baby
But for now take the walk of shame, baby
It ain't got to be the walk of shame, baby
But that's only if you know the game, baby
Later I can't be the one to blame, baby
But for now take the walk of shame, baby
The song "Shame" by BJ the Chicago Kid, Freddie Gibbs, and Madlib is a frank depiction of the casual and often transactional nature of modern hookups. The lyrics detail the singers' sexual escapades with various women, often implying a lack of emotional attachment, and how these encounters may lead to the "walk of shame" - the act of leaving someone's house early in the morning after a one-night stand.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of power dynamics, with the singers' explicit references to pimping and the treatment of women as commodity objects. The lyrics are unapologetic in their explicitness, portraying the singers as detached and unemotional. However, the chorus offers a disclaimer of sorts, suggesting that it doesn't have to end in shame, as long as one knows the game.
Overall, the song is a commentary on contemporary attitudes towards sex and dating, highlighting the casual nature of hookups and the complex emotional and power dynamics that accompany them.
