Trophy
Blu Lyrics

Yo, I told her after thirty it's a wrap (it's a wrap)
He warned someone that life is basically over after turning 30

I turned thirty woke up early wrote a rap (wrote the raps)
On his 30th birthday, he got up early to write some rhymes

The photo snap but the mocha cap lacks
The picture is good, but the coffee needs improvement

Them promo whack spinnin', niggas know the track (know the track)
The promotional efforts are weak, but people still recognize the song

Yo, they know the black match the gold with the black man
People acknowledge that Black people look good wearing black and gold

I lack how my soul since four cuz of that (cuz of that)
He has felt emotionally empty since age four, possibly due to some past experience

Uh, gold chain all the need is the dope name
All he needs to succeed is a catchy stage name and a gold chain

The dope game want him to slang cuz it cracks (cuz it cracks)
Drug dealers want him to sell their products because it brings in money

Cuz it slaps like a horn on the track
The music has a great beat and gets people moving

That ass get broke off legs and pimp that
Women who twerk and dance provocatively can attract money and attention

That kid with the plastic gat aiming at cop cars (Blu)
Blu is reminiscing about his past, when he used to play with toy guns and pretend to shoot police cars

And the ghetto with the heavy metal rock stars (rock stars)
He grew up surrounded by musicians who played loud, aggressive music

Grew up, sick with it threw up
He had a tough childhood that made him physically ill at times

My whole hood Crip wit it so I shoulda blew it (Blu)
His entire neighborhood was associated with the Crips gang, and he regrets not getting involved with them

And I did funny thing is I wish that I was dirty red
He did eventually join a gang, but wishes he had been a member of a different one

But I was noble like that New Jersey head
Despite being in a gang, he still saw himself as a good person

Yeah, BL bright like CL 5.50 Smooth
He compares himself to a luxurious car brand, implying that he is stylish and valuable

Nights like we sell white like, we sell kites like
He and his crew live the high life and make lots of money selling drugs and other goods

Sis point it out, fuck that retail price like
Sisters (women) know where to get the best deals and are happy to share their knowledge

Like the detail your female rights like
He values women's rights and pays attention to the details of social issues

We is just chillin on the rocks like ice (word)
He and his friends are relaxing and having a good time

Just Do It white Nike's true shit
He enjoys wearing white Nike sneakers

Pandora Box prize fight U.N
He's referencing a legendary box fight that resulted in chaos and disaster, possibly suggesting a similar outcome for society as a whole

Trophy
He may be referring to himself or something else as an object of success or admiration

Yo, she like the niggas with the caramel complexion (uh huh)
He's talking about a woman who prefers men with a light brown skin tone

The oh my god sex you gotta call up your best friend
He's implying that the woman he's talking about is great in bed

The fall she always hope for, soaps in horoscope
She may believe in astrology and hope for a romantic fall season

Quotes on boats so them niggas try to propose to her (yeah)
She posts inspirational or poetic quotes on social media that attract admirers

While most hoarder thought she's audible (true)
Most men thought she was approachable and easy to talk to

Dress is comparable but the dress is inaugural (uh huh true)
Her dress is nice and appropriate for the occasion, but it's also new and special

Yo, peppermint presidential suite
He's in a fancy hotel room with a minty scent

Most gentleman compete but most gentleman are weak
Many men try to impress this woman, but they are not successful

We go hard, some come but most go scarred with no heart
He and his crew are tough and resilient, while others who try to compete with them end up hurt and defeated

With no harm done she knows God (uh huh)
Despite being in dangerous situations, she trusts in a higher power to protect her

Kisses it in the air takes it by the arm
She blows a kiss and then takes his arm, possibly indicating a romantic connection

Walks it through the mayhem, asks her how her day went (ayo)
He walks her through a chaotic environment and shows concern for how her day went

Yo, I say shit I don't mean in blue green
He sometimes says things he doesn't really mean or understand

Blue green in the hair, just to watch her blow steam
He likes to see her get angry and express herself passionately

She don't care it's so rare, she don't scare
She is not easily intimidated and doesn't let things bother her

It won't scream unless I scream it's for ice cream (word up)
She won't be loud or upset unless he is, and he's only doing it for fun or a treat

And I tease cuz she's perfect and she's worth it (she's worth it)
He enjoys teasing her because he knows she can handle it and he values her

She's hates it cuz she'd rather be basic (rather be basic)
The woman he's talking about may not enjoy being the center of attention or having too much luxury

Uh, I need a facelift, or work the late shift
He may be going through a mid-life crisis or considering a change in career

And after the catwalk prize of the asphalt
He's comparing himself or someone else to a model who has just won a competition

She's from the backyard where hard times blast off
The woman he's talking about came from a tough neighborhood where hardships were common

Shoot you'd be surprised if she survive here that long
He's amazed that she managed to survive and thrive in such a difficult environment

Drives a fast car and never talks back to her mom
She's successful and independent and also respectful towards her mother

It's all gold never silver or prime
Everything in her life seems to be prestigious or top-of-the-line
