Wipe the Case Away
Bobby Shmurda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of muthafucking lawyer fees
I'm tired of these muthafucking court dates
I'm tired of seeing this judge

Why they want to pin a felly on me?
I ain't did nothing
They acting like they got the dime on me
Muthafuckers bluffing

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away
I let me lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

I told my lawyer, "I got 40 on me
Is you trying to go to court for me?"
These niggas trying to put a charge on me
Why they wanna lock dudes up
Why they wanna put some fraud on me?
They said I ran with a tudge on me
My momma prayed to the Lord for me
While my niggas go to war for me
My daddy paid the price hard for me
He was trying to live life large for me
He ran the whole nine yards for me
And we was driving niggas 54 for grease
We was in the courthouse oftenly
Even though they see a star in a nigga
The feds and sargeants still bother a nigga

Why they want to pin a felly on me?
I ain't did nothing
They acting like they got the dime on me
Muthafuckers bluffing

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away
I let me lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

Blow that case away, b-blow that case away
So I went and stashed 100K just for a rainy day
Niggas play, we letting semis spray, I catch a Fendi case
I dropped that body 'fore I hit the gate
That's on my granny's grave
My momma glad a nigga changed his ways
I was in and out of drama each and every day
We was flipping selling hard at my mama place
Nigga we was trapping hard like it was '88
First of the month, know that is my favorite day
Girl, when you come, know that I'mma let you stay
Girl, give me some, 'fore they try to take me away
I don't even know how long they gonna make me stay

Why they want to pin a felly on me?
I ain't did nothing
They acting like they got the dime on me
Muthafuckers bluffing

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away
I let me lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

I let me lawyer wipe that case away
Oh, he wiped that case away

Overall Meaning

The song “Wipe The Case Away” by Bobby Shmurda reflects the struggle of black Americans who have to face the criminal justice system. The lyrics are a cry for justice as the artist feels unfairly targeted and accused of crimes he did not commit. He expresses frustration with the system that keeps him in courtrooms and charges him with felonies, attempting to prove his guilt.

In the first verse, the artist mentions that he is tired of the court dates and the lawyer fees, which implies that the struggling process of a trial is taking a toll on him. He then questions why the system has pinned a felony charge on him, although he insists that he did not do anything wrong. The second verse sees the artist give more background information about the situation, telling his lawyer to go to court for him and mentioning that his family is fighting for him as well. The final verse sees Bobby Shmurda acknowledge the gravity of the situation and confess that he has prepared for the worst.

The chorus repeats the phrase “I let my lawyer wipe that case away" while also telling us that Bobby Shmurda had 40K on him, stashed 100K for a rainy day, and feels like he has dropped a body before. These lyrics suggest that the artist has been involved in some unsavory activities in the past, hence why he feels targeted.

I'm tired of muthafucking lawyer fees
I'm exhausted from having to constantly pay for legal representation

I'm tired of these muthafucking court dates
I'm fatigued from repeatedly having to appear in court

I'm tired of seeing this judge
I'm fed up with having to face the same judge over and over

Why they want to pin a felly on me?
Why are they trying to falsely accuse me of a felony charge?

I ain't did nothing
I haven't done anything wrong

They acting like they got the dime on me
They're acting like they have incriminating evidence against me

Muthafuckers bluffing
They're lying and trying to deceive me

I let my lawyer wipe that case away
I allowed my lawyer to successfully defend my case and get it dismissed

Oh, he wiped that case away
My lawyer successfully cleared me of all charges

I told my lawyer, "I got 40 on me
I informed my lawyer of the amount of money I had with me

Is you trying to go to court for me?"
Are you willing to represent me in court?

These niggas trying to put a charge on me
These individuals are falsely trying to accuse me of something illegal

Why they wanna lock dudes up
Why are they trying to imprison individuals?

Why they wanna put some fraud on me?
Why are they attempting to frame me for committing fraud?

They said I ran with a tudge on me
They claimed that I was carrying a weapon with me

My momma prayed to the Lord for me

My friends are willing to fight and support me

My daddy paid the price hard for me
My father made sacrifices for me to have a better life

He ran the whole nine yards for me
He went the full distance to provide for me

And we was driving niggas 54 for grease
We were driving individuals to perform illegal activities

We was in the courthouse oftenly
We frequently had to attend court due to our illegal activities

Even though they see a star in a nigga
Even though they recognize my success and fame

The feds and sargeants still bother a nigga
Law enforcement and government officials still harass and bother me

Blow that case away, b-blow that case away
Get rid of the charges against me

So I went and stashed 100K just for a rainy day
I saved up $100,000 for future use

Niggas play, we letting semis spray, I catch a Fendi case
When people try to mess with us, we use guns and if caught will face a serious charge

I dropped that body 'fore I hit the gate
I committed murder before leaving the scene

That's on my granny's grave
I swear on my grandmother's life that I'm telling the truth

My momma glad a nigga changed his ways
My mother is happy that I've turned my life around

I was in and out of drama each and every day
I used to be involved in trouble and conflict regularly

We was flipping selling hard at my mama place
We were selling illegal drugs at my mother's house

Nigga we was trapping hard like it was '88
We were heavily involved in illegal drug trafficking

First of the month, know that is my favorite day
The first day of the month is my preferred day because people collect welfare and are able to purchase drugs more easily

Girl, when you come, know that I'mma let you stay
When you come over, you should know that I'll let you stay overnight

Girl, give me some, 'fore they try to take me away
Give me sexual intimacy before I'm taken into custody

I don't even know how long they gonna make me stay
I'm uncertain how long I'll be incarcerated
