Banks & Steelz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The stars are bright
So let the wine flow
We'll still cover the clouds
With drinks and [?]
So dance all night
Show your lover the world
With the sunrise, it's ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Hey yo (ready to go)
Hey yo
Hey yo

Gangsta still supremacy
Take it to extremities
Always got our remedy
Microphone is [?]
Rapper's skills legendary
Bust a nut on these sluts only cause it's necessary
Polo-wearing,never sharing, pots with bitches I be bagging
Undefeated , quite conceited, many times y'all catch be bragging
Can a motherfuckers walk with our pants sagging?
Pilotin' this plane, y'all up on my bandwagon
Fire breathing dragon, disast'rous, microphone abusin'
Mix my point the lyrics with beat, life, hip-hop, and music
Cruising in a lamborghini
Sipping on the dry martini
Real niggas slow when they thought they saw a lamborghini
My lover got caught inside your limestone
My mind has gone off course five time zones
Bobby snake took the quake of a drum track
Make no mistake, after this you gonna jump back
Jump back, jump back
Nigga, jump back
Got enough funk and skunk to fill a dump truck
Pump up your fists to this or you get lumped up
Immaculate conception
You thought you had a life but that was just my reflection
I'm circumcised, thoughts I pray through protection
Sterilized mind, I'm immune to infections
So make a u-turn
Before you burn
You germ
I don't give a fuck what you earn
This is hip hop
Su-su-super sperm
Get 'em out, get 'em out, get 'em outta here (banks & steelz)
Take 'em back, take 'em back, take 'em outta here (banks & steelz)
Put your motherfucking hands up in the air
I said put your fucking hands in the air
(Sword, stone)
(Sword, stone)
(Sword, stone)

Samurai sword spitter
Bigger altenator - detonator orchestrator
The heats on the microwave, dark raiders take a shade

Parked up in the valley, the phantom put in town's way get out with valleys
I'll take your girl inside, checkers in the valley, nick says she a stallion
The half pump with 40 gallons
They see me are 2 parked up in park view
Nin drummin out, work out, I can't slouch
Women see the muscles, reflection on the couch
I'm billy rayon
Toyota squat, no key gas station and gas
[?]

(Sword, stone)
(Sword, stone)

[?] The bitches I be bangin
Let the music play, slow down the gunplay
Let you move the 6k, [?] you one day
With just words
[?]
I love myself, how can I [?]
I face everyday calamities
It's calm at the swarm [?] on a pond
For forty-eight straight without a yawn
[?], That's checkmate
[?]
Bobby steelz got a seat or swing on the lawn
And a pool in the back
[?]
I was good at flipping packs
Things kept coming back
[?]
[?]
[?]
I [?] then I outrose my classmen
Hip hop music, I love it with a passion
It ain't nothing like hip hop music
We like it cause we choose it
[?]
I got you in puzzle cube like a rubik's
Then after way when you've retired
Hot and records you've inspired
Bank & steelz, banks and steelz
Then after way when you've retired
Hot and records you've inspired
Bank & steelz, banks and steelz

Get 'em out, get 'em out, get 'em outta here
(Banks & steelz)
Take 'em back, take 'em back, take 'em outta here
(Banks & steelz)
Put your motherfucking hands up in the air
I said put your fucking hands in the air

Banks & steelz
(Sword, stone)
Banks & steelz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Banks & Steelz Kool Keith's song Sword in the Stone are, for the most part, nonsensical and seemingly random. However, there are a few lines that can be deciphered. The opening lines suggest a party atmosphere, encouraging the listener to let loose and dance all night. The second verse seems to boast about the rapper's skills and success with women, though it's not entirely clear if these lines are serious or tongue-in-cheek. The chorus repeats the phrase "sword in the stone," which could represent power or strength, or simply be a reference to the classic legend of King Arthur.


The third and final verse is the most cryptic, with lines about a "samurai sword spitter" and a "half pump with 40 gallons." It's unclear what these phrases mean or what context they're meant to be understood in. The overall effect of the song seems to be one of boastful fun, with a focus on clever wordplay and rhymes.
