Ay, ay
Used to wanna be a dope boy (sheesh)
Run around with the dope boys (dope boy)
Trap house got plenty bricks to give away
Forgiatos on the tinted whip to get away
I ain't beefing with a broke boy (broke boy)
Got a Glizzy it'll get a nigga out the way
In the kitchen water whipping, made another play
Used to wanna be a dope boy (sheesh)
Run around with the dope boys (dope boy)
Trap house got plenty bricks to give away
Forgiatos on the tinted whip to get away
Used to wanna be a dope boy (be a dope boy)
I ain't beefing with a broke boy (broke boy)
Got a Glizzy it'll get a nigga out the way
In the kitchen water whipping, made another play
So stop wasting my time
I got some shit running through my mind
This Glizzy got fifty so bye bye
And I made a play through the WiFi
Bought a brand new estate to flip my pies
I was ten I seen Judy with crack pipes
All my shooters, get groovy they bag pipes
Pop a Perc when I'm moody, I'm back high
It's funny how I never knew you
Heard they signed me out, I bought a new tool
I got money, now my foreign zoom, zoom
I got killers put forks in your noodle
And that Perky controlling like voodoo
Eddie Mercury house, we had the boom boom
I got problems, yeah, I got a loose screw
I flew private and my dope, it flew too
Used to wanna be a dope boy (sheesh)
Run around with the dope boys (dope boy)
Trap house got plenty bricks to give away
Forgiatos on the tinted whip to get away
Used to wanna be a dope boy (be a dope boy)
I ain't beefing with a broke boy (broke boy)
Got a Glizzy it'll get a nigga out the way
In the kitchen water whipping, made another play
Used to wanna be a dope boy (sheesh)
Run around with the dope boys (dope boy)
Trap house got plenty bricks to give away
Forgiatos on the tinted whip to get away
Used to wanna be a dope boy (be a dope boy)
I ain't beefing with a broke boy (broke boy)
Got a Glizzy it'll get a nigga out the way
In the kitchen water whipping, made another play
The lyrics of Calboy's song "Dope Boy" talk about the artist's past aspirations of becoming a drug dealer. He used to want to be a "dope boy," someone who runs around with drug dealers and has access to plenty of drugs to sell. The trap house that he used to frequent had many bricks of drugs to give away, and Calboy wanted to have access to them. He also mentions having a "Glizzy," a gun that can "get a nigga out the way" if needed.
Calboy talks about his past experiences of working in the kitchen, water whipping, and successfully making another drug deal. He also mentions the dark side of the drug business, referencing a woman named Judy who he saw smoking crack pipes when he was only ten years old. The chorus repeats Calboy's desire of wanting to be a "dope boy" in the past, but he's now moved past that and doesn't want to associate with "broke boys" who aren't involved in the drug game like he was.
Overall, the song reflects Calboy's past and the allure of the drug trade. It's a reflection of the real-life experiences of many young rappers who come from impoverished backgrounds but are able to make a living through their music, instead of through illegal means.
