Uncle Bun say he got a lick, it's time to set it up
Slide on 'em with them sticks like we slappin' hockey pucks
Catch that nigga slippin', take him down without a mask (gimme that)
Tie up all his children, slap his wifey with the MAC (bitch)
Walk him in the kitchen, I'm demandin' all the cash
And if he keep bullshittin', put the pistol in his ass
I-I keep the glock on my pelvis (hey)
Play with the rock like I'm Elvis (hey)
Play with the green like a Celtic
Rubbin' up a pack like a sandwich
Runnin' that base like a pitcher
Drop a whole eight in the pitcher (sip it)
Packin' that pack like Green Bay
Puttin' junk in the trunk like I'm Kim K
Ayy, what's up, workin' out the bando (trap)
Forest with them trees, play with keys like piano (like Alicia, ayy)
Huh, go Rambo with the ammo (boom)
Pullin' up front, pop the trunk, like a Lambo (Maxo, Maxo)
I got neon (in my trunk)

I got shit if I get caught I catch a case (in my trunk)
I got bricks (in my trunk)

We get it crunk (we get it crunk)
We got the funk (we got the funk)
That's in my trunk (that's in my trunk)
Pounds in the trunk (ayy)
Rounds in the trunk (ayy)
Call my choppa "Kris Kross" 'cause it make 'em jump (jump)
Lemonade and gelato, that's what's in my blunt (woo)
Yeah we really come from shit, so nigga, I'ma stunt
Ayy, don't you never, ever, ever trust these niggas (hell nah)
Momma told me long time ago, "mothafuck these niggas" (fuck 'em)
These niggas ain't loyal (fuck 'em)
These bitches ain't either
The middle of the summer, ridin' 'round with my heater
The middle of the winter, ridin' around with ice on
She did a naked photo-shoot with my iPhone
Hey where the drink man?

Crack another seal (where you at?)
It's goin' down tonight

The lyrics of Bun B's song "In My Cadillac" offer a glimpse into the world of the Dirty South and its love for all things flashy, hedonistic, and materialistic. The recurring reference to "my trunk" sends a message about the rapper's wealth and success, as it implies that he has enough money to afford a luxurious car with a spacious cargo area filled with expensive, illegal, or dangerous items. The first verse lists some of the items, such as neon lights, bass speakers, and drugs, that make his trunk appealing but also risky to be caught with. The second verse portrays Bun B as a hustler who lives by his own rules, disregarding the law, morality, or consequences. He brags about his criminal exploits, such as stashing bands of cash and working with his "trill niggas" to pull off a lick, and is unapologetic about the violence he uses to achieve his ends. The third verse features Maxo Kream and adds more violent and graphic imagery of robbing, kidnapping, and shooting people in the name of money and respect. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the phrase "That's in my trunk" as a refrain that underscores the central theme of boasting about one's possessions and power.
The song reflects the cultural and social context of the Dirty South hip hop scene, which emerged in the 1990s as a distinct subgenre characterized by its focus on Southern regionalism, street authenticity, and explicit lyrics. Bun B, who was part of the duo UGK, is a celebrated figure of Dirty South rap and known for his distinctive deep voice, smooth flow, and introspective lyrics that blend personal and societal issues. "In My Cadillac" was released as a single in 2014 from his fourth solo album, Trill OG: The Epilogue. The song was produced by Big E, a longtime collaborator of Bun B, and features verses from Maxo Kream, a rising rapper from Houston. The instrumental sample comes from the classic funk song "Funky Worm" by the Ohio Players.
