Biggie Babylon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look up in the sky they know I'm outta sight
Yeah, yeah, oh it's alright
Yeah, yeah, yea
Five hundred and the fifth one
If they want to pick one, I don't know we under the sun
Catch me in the trees rolling loudWatch me surf up all up on the crowd
Watch them pick the one, gun weigh a ton, don't be under son
I don't know come to none, play the nun, don't then flip the gun
D come back, running back, throwing shots y'all running
Don't mess around on the fourth down just go around run it (Yeah)
Y'all come around really think y'all really saying something
Your life going backwards cause you doin' too much fronting
Made something from nothing, make your life change at the press of a button
That's the end of discussion, took a few edibles, now you can't even function
Middle East Beast, made my own world, yours is under construction
Money on Benjamin Button, Biggie Babylon, the people they love him
Couldn't catch up, even if I stopped running the hits
I'm keeping them coming, The loud pack, I'm keeping it coming
This right here is hotter than ovens, turnt to the max
Sit at home and count up my racks, Thom and dabato they send me some fire
So now I just sit back and black out on tracks
Driving down the road, I know where to go, no need for the maps
I'm just here stating the facts, I'm just here stating the facts
(Yeah, yeah)
Pull up to the party and it's alright (Yeah)
Going to the sky and it's alright (Yeah)
Look up to the sky and I'm gonna fly (Yeah)
Pull up in the sky and I'm gonna ride (Ride)
All day, all day, balling, yeah, yeahChampagne, campaign, falling yeah, yeah
Champagne campaign falling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (Yeah)
In “Champagne,” Biggie Babylon opens with a vibrant depiction of self-confidence and celebratory energy as he pulls up to a party that promises a good time. The phrase “pull up to the party ahh it’s alright” sets the stage for an atmosphere filled with high spirits and a sense of belonging. The reference to looking “up in the sky” indicates an elevated mindset, one that thrives on freedom and liberation from everyday struggles. This upbeat tone is infectious, inviting the listener to share in his euphoric experience. The repetition of “yeah, yeah” emphasizes his exhilaration and enthusiasm, suggesting an escape into a world of enjoyment that contrasts sharply with mundane realities.
In the second verse, Biggie navigates through themes of wealth, status, and the expectations placed upon him. Phrases such as “five hundred and the fifth one” and “catch me in the trees rolling loud” convey a sense of abundance and celebration coupled with a nod to the highs of life that wealth can bring. However, there’s an underlying tension as he raps about the pressures and dangers of his lifestyle. Lines invoking “gun weigh a ton” and “don’t mess around on the fourth down” suggest that while he enjoys the perks of success, he is also acutely aware of the threats that come with it—a dual existence of pleasure and peril. This juxtaposition reflects a broader comment on the music industry and life in general, where the pursuit of joy often coexists with trepidation.
As Biggie continues, he addresses the superficial nature of some within his circle, contrasting their empty bravado with his own authentic journey. The phrase “your life going backwards cause you doin’ too much fronting” critiques those who prioritize image over substance, highlighting the pitfalls of trying to present a façade instead of embracing reality. He asserts his ability to “make something from nothing” and transform his life with a mere “press of a button,” signifying empowerment and ambition. The inclusion of “edibles” implies a moment of escapism, a temporary detachment from the pressures of life, reinforcing the notion that success isn’t merely about material gain but also achieving peace of mind amidst chaos.
The final verses reflect a sense of achievement and determination as Biggie asserts his mastery of living life to the fullest. “This right here is hotter than ovens” showcases a degree of confidence in his craft, while the references to “money on Benjamin Button” evoke imagery of wealth that grows with age or experience, symbolizing the longevity of his success. His line “couldn’t catch up, even if I stopped running” asserts his position in the industry as someone continually evolving and producing hits that resonate. The concluding lines, filled with celebratory phrases centered around champagne, encapsulate the essence of his lifestyle. They indicate a commitment to living in the moment, embracing joy, and celebrating successes, all while being grounded in the reality of his ongoing journey. Thus, the song unfolds as both a celebration of life and a meditation on the complexities of success, identity, and resilience.
