Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always Strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me dap, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid, niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back
Niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back
Yes sir

Check me out, look
26 inches, bitch I'm sittin' crooked
Old school Chevy, faster than a silver bullet
Strawberry paint, seats vanilla puddin'
2 bitches, gon' and eat each other's pussy

Top chopped sent the car to the barbershop
My driveway looks somethin' like a parkin' lot
I'm so unothodox
I got your bitch Ridin' my dick wit no shocks
Bounce bitch, bounce, bounce

I'm the hottest shit jumpin' out the coffee pot
Man, I'm just tryin' to get my spot like a polka dot
Lil' kush make my eyes and my shoulders drop
Lil' syrup and I can make a soda pop

Keep talkin' 'n' I can make my soldiers pop
Real niggas wit me ridin' till the motor stop
I got these hoes straight livin' out the soap op
I got it covered like a coke top
Okay?

Always Strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me daps, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid, niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back
Niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm

Always Strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me daps, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid, bitches be lovin' me, they know I love 'em back
Bitches be lovin' me, they know I love 'em back

I'm Mack Maine, hey
Hey, to a man with a ho with some pop trunk
I fuck over you like I'm sexin' on the top bunk
I make alot of noise, boy, like a cop car
The whip got the dicks out like a pop bra
And you ain't gotta ask your girl... you knew she knew me
From ring tones she sing my songs at the karaoke
She call me baby all day like I'm Bryan Williams
The new hip-hop landlord I'm 'bout to buy the buildin'
And I'm evictin' all you cats that only spit an ounce
And like a stripper ass you better bounce diggity, bounce, bounce

Always Strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me dap, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back
Niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm

Always strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me dap, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid, bitches be lovin' me, they know I love 'em back
Bitches be lovin' me, they know I love 'em back

Yeah Shawty The Last MOB Flyin' The Bugatti With The Tool On The Seat
Put the K in the car while we ridin' blaze
Put the chopper on the pussy in the driveway
Bet the house on the young 'un when we got paid
Triple colors on the bikes in the new mercaids
Bustin' keys on they ass while we got paid
From I-10's ridin' hot to an open bay
Uptown made man out the hard way
Crab in the bucket 50 shots bitch make a way
I Thought They Knew Shawty
Like Father Like Son
Ball till you fall stuntin' wit them paper plates
Throwin' hundreds on them hoes while we eatin' steaks
We in the club poppin' bottles like everyday
We grind for the shine nigga gettin' big money
Got a fleet tossin' chicken nigga get cake
I'm on his island with this power like Scarface
I'm in the Impala dropped top chawwnky
Ice man birdman rockin' red monkeys

Already Nigga Nieghborhood Super Star
And We Gon' Ball 'Til We Fall

Always Strapped when I hit the club
Niggas give me dap, bitches give me hugs
And since I'm paid, niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back




Niggas be muggin' me, you know I'm muggin' back
Yes sir

Overall Meaning

The verses in the song, "Always Strapped," by Birdman and Lil Wayne are an interesting showcase of the rappers' luxurious lifestyles. The song is mostly about the rappers getting attention from fans and haters alike, but Lil Wayne's verse in particular talks about a lot of his possessions, including his old school Chevy, his car parked in his driveway that looks like a parking lot, and the fact that he has two women in his car. He also speaks about his drug habits with mentions of Kush and syrup. Birdman's verse speaks about his love life, his money and power, and how he's treated like a superstar in his neighborhood. The chorus is repetitive, with Birdman and Lil Wayne emphasizing how strapped they are when they go out to the club because they are wealthy, and they will mug anyone who tries to bother them.


One can interpret this song in a few different ways - it could be about rappers always being ready to defend themselves from danger because they have a lot of enemies. In a more literal sense, "Always Strapped" could also be about Lil Wayne's love of firearms, as he has referenced this in many of his songs.
