Boosie's song Swerve is centered around the theme of swerving, which is used to connote the act of reckless driving. By swerving, Boosie and his crew are able to avoid obstacles on the road while at the same time showing off their driving skills. In the first verse, Boosie reveals that he got the swerving skills from his past days with 'b's and b's, implying that he is from the streets. Boosie also asserts that he is swerving because people are hating on him, and he is making cash. Therefore, swerving becomes a symbol of Boosie's resilience in the face of adversity β he is able to keep going even as he is hindered by the haters.
The second verse is about Boosie swerving with a high yellow fine virgin. In the course of the drive, he interacts with people and other cars on the road. Boosie also suggests that he is very rich by stating that he has five hundred dollars with him. By swerving in style in his Cadillac, Boosie shows off that he is living the good life. The chorus of the song emphasizes swerving as a solution to problems. Boosie encourages people to swerve on their haters and to make sure they are always on top.
