Take Off
Baby T Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cook that shit up, Quay take off, take off

Stay down, get that money, take off
(take off)
Got three hundred bands in a Goyard (Goyard)
All my niggas know it's go hard
If I send the word they gon'
Come and take your face off (face off)

I ain't never gon' stop (nah)
Guarantee I'm gon' pop (I'm gon' pop)
Drop an album, I won't flop (I won't flop)
Standing on the stage, I'm a star (star)
This shit wasn't easy, I had to work hard

Goin' to school in a hotbox
They killed my nigga Juan
Damn near broke my heart
I'm goin' number one when I hit the charts
Riding 'round with a lot of money
So I keep my Glock i blew up super fast
Guess that's why they mad
Touch my chain, murder scene, body bag
I do this for all the shit I never had
Gotta be her for my niece
Ain't got no father, i'm her dad
You remember we was skipping school
Going on the move
Fucked around and made the news
I'm so glad we didn't get caught
Looking back on it, I'm like damn I came far

Stay down, get that money, take off
(take off)
Got three hundred bands in a Goyard (Goyard)
All my niggas know it's go hard
If I send the word they gon'
Come and take your face off (face off)
I ain't never gon' stop (nah)
Guarantee I'm gon' pop (I'm gon' pop)
Drop an album, I won't flop (I won't flop)
Standing on the stage, I'm a star (star)
This shit wasn't easy, I had to work hard

Stayed down and came up
Had to get my change up
Only fuck with day ones
Hell nah we can't change up
Niggas ain't clutching for real
Niggas ain't toting the steel
Niggas ain't working for real
All of my niggas want M's
They love when I'm up in the booth
They know that I'm speaking the truth
They feeling my pain, this shit is insane
They know when I'm telling the truth
For the change I'll blow off your roof
And your partner, he gettin' it too
It's a tag on his head
Green light on his ass
Hell yeah, go kill his whole crew
I done came up in the city
And these niggas wanna hate
I can't fuck with niggas 'cause
They really turned snake
I ain't got time for these hoes
I'm on the road doing shows around the globe

Stay down, get that money, take off
(take off)
Got three hundred bands in a Goyard (Goyard)
All my niggas know it's go hard
If I send the word they gon'
Come and take your face off (face off)
I ain't never gon' stop (nah)
Guarantee I'm gon' pop (I'm gon' pop)
Drop an album, I won't flop (I won't flop)

Standing on the stage, I'm a star (star)
This shit wasn't easy, I had to work hard

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Baby T presents an ultimatum to the person she's singing about. She's tired of their charm and waiting around for them, and she's ready to move on. The opening lines seem to question the person's character, asking how many times it takes for them to learn, how much they're willing to deceive (as indicated by the nose growing), and how many girls they'll attract. Baby T seems to be aware of this person's seductive nature, but she's no longer interested in playing along.

She asks the person to take their head off her shoulder and move on, clearly expressing her fatigue with the situation. The line "I'll take my pencil and I'll render you void" suggests that she's ready to cut this person out of her life completely. This is emphasized by the line "all my tears are gonna come from joy," which implies that she'll be happy to be rid of them.

The final lines of the song seem to be an ode to personal growth and self-reflection. Baby T recognizes that Cupid, the god of love, can be deceitful and that she's not willing to be fooled by his tricks. She may have been susceptible to his machinations in the past, but now she's wise to his game.

In summary, "Take Off" is a song about moving on from a toxic and deceptive relationship. The lyrics show Baby T's determination to break free from someone who may be alluring but ultimately toxic. It's a declaration of independence and self-love, as she recognizes her own worth and refuses to be manipulated.
