The song "Taliban" by Buruklyn Boyz is a trap-style rap song laced with heavy swahili lyrics. The song starts with a series of ad-libs "yo, Kwani ni kesho, skia, .58 flavor, skia" before the artist delves into the actual verses. The main theme of the song is basically glorifying the lifestyle of staying dangerous and living on the edge like the Taliban. The artist uses analogies such as smoking foreign Cali buds and Collie buds like his side is smoking love while the others smoke grass or nyas, suggesting that his way of life is superior to others who do not live like him.
Furthermore, Buruklyn Boyz details his life as an active person always on the move and taking calls. He makes references to the cartoon Phineas and Ferb and how he and his friend are like them, always inventing something while in the lab. He mentions carrying cash in duffle bags and chasing guap (money) in the morning. The chorus repeats the phrase "Stay dangerous kama Taliban" emphasizing the desire to live on the edge. The second verse talks more about his lavish lifestyle, smoking foreign Cali buds, and chasing after money.
