Chief Keef Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, ayy, gang

They like "So' what shoes them is?", Ion know
Shoot his ass down J. cole, it's FN it's a draco
Naw, it's a AR with 8-0
At the roundtable bout' to mega-toast
With the bread we can make toast
"So' what ya eat?" bitch I ate toast
We got toast, we got bank roll
She don't wanna fuck me, she can say "no"
Said I ain't ask her how her day go?
If she a shitty bitch, Ima A-hole
I was on the block like a Lego, fuck nigga still doin' the same-o
Niggas hatin' feel like I'm Maino and I'm in a SRT truck
The Trackie, not Durango

Ice on my wrist no bingo, all these chains I'm django
Think I sipped too much lean last night, woke up with a hangover
You don't speak my lango, I got a gift and it's a halo
Send ya ass up to heaven, hurry up before the gate close

Whip creams we skate them, pull up on ya in the AM
Pull up on ya in the PM, hope ya ain't with your BM
Trulla, Trulla nigga TM, Shaking BD up with the fetty boys
Coolin' with some ready girls, I think we some ready boys
It's a lotta "Chief Keef BDs", I'm cool but I ain't off CBD
Had to get away from CPD, I don't wanna see no more EBT
We was sliding on EBT, with the Drac no PND
Too turnt, nigga TNT
Put a million dollars in a PNC
Can't wait to pick up another 3 this week
Backyard man I see a creek, 30 cameras so I can see a creep
They everywhere, I can see you sneak
Poppin' E's cause I'm illy, what you gone get is the real me
Sky left if I fell asleep say she love my melody
Bitch, I'm great like Kellogg, we got magazines, catalogs
I got so much ice on, I get 3 million collateral
Make us send shells, to fly past ya that's the point across
The bitch ate my weaner, weaner just like a corndog
She asked me do I watch porn? "No"
Told the bitch "I am a porno", 2 v. 1 like a combat
Say her friend finna come and join though
A pig the only thing that oink though
I got old cake but it's moist though
I got niggas still up in the joint though
Who I sip lean and smoke a joint for
I got niggas up in the grave through
Who I make cake and spend cake for
If ya lowkey nigga lay low
If you're high key everybody know
You in the same places everybody go
Shoot the block up where everybody go




That ain't yo' hoe, that's everybody hoe
How that pussy is? Everybody know

Overall Meaning

In the song "Hurry B4 The Gate Close," Chief Keef talks about aspects of his life as a gang member in Chicago with his unapologetically bold and direct lyrics. The song stands out for its raw and aggressive style, and it discusses various topics, including drugs, women, guns, and street life.


The opening lines of the song show Chief Keef arrogantly brushing off a question about his designer shoes since he is focused on carrying a firearm, which is an FN (a type of gun) or an AR (an assault rifle). He then says that he is ready for whatever situation may come up since he is having a meeting at the round table with his gang members, and they are ready to celebrate their success with some toast. The rapper then raps about his wealth, the women he is with, and the violence he has experienced or has been a part of due to his gang affiliation. He talks about his lifestyle, saying that he does not shy away from the fact that he has committed crimes, and he also briefly touches on police brutality in Chicago.


In the chorus of the song, Chief Keef refers to death by implying that the gates of heaven are closing, and if someone wants to pass through them, they should hurry up. He uses a wordplay with the phrase "send ya ass up to heaven" to mean shooting and killing someone before they have a chance to go to heaven. He talks about his willingness to engage in violence and his arrogant, self-assured persona that he cannot be stopped.
