Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap
I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap

I got twenty for a show, but it's really rap money
twenty for a hoe and that's really trap money

I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap
I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap

I got twenty for a show, but it's really rap money
Twenty for a hoe and that's really trap money

B.A.
Blue lights flashin, checkin out my mansion
Gangster so flashy, Louis Vuitton magnum
How he out here swaggin? Dat be what they askin
I drop the white crease, call it dope boy magic
Dopeology, you should take one of my classes
Hit me in the hood, red carpet, pants saggin
Rob you on Front Street in 75 classic
My potnahs know I'm good in the hood besides rappin
I got trap money cabin, it's 30 if you askin
D trap money lavish, ain't gotta make it rappin
Fruity bezel the cabbage, them country niggaz taxin
Ballin like Maverick, blowin loud in the traffic
I robbed a nigga twosie in some Rap Lord fashion
Say young'n in the hood, I'm a trap money addict
Cartier glasses, you see that I got money
I wake up early in the mornin I need me some trap money

I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap
I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap

I got twenty for a show, but it's really rap money
twenty for a hoe and that's really trap money

Mook
twenty Benz back, you see a nigga, that's my pack money
Look I ain't got no record deal so no it ain't no rap money
You see the stack in my jeans, I can't fit no rubber band
twenty-two on cents, I'ma wrap it 'round them
And first I unload the tractor, bust 'em out the wrapper
Get 'em to my trappers and they bring me back them rat chicks
Bust off goin fast, you can call it cheetah girl
When I get the panky you know I'm water whippin her
No top on the whip, tank top Louis V
You can call me tank top cause all I do is wifebeat
Talkin smart on the phone, price just gone up
Take it or leave it homeboy, either way I give a fuck
Pot cold, LB's, kush by the O-Z's
Yeah I sell 'em for the low and get 'em for the dirt cheap
Get in just how you want, I'm a walkin trap sto'
Well connected nigga courtesy of my amigos
Flyin down twenty East, trunk full of dirty birdies
In the middle of the drought we let them bitches fly for thirty
In the kitchen cuttin work I gotta do my two-step
Yeah I'm bad leg trappin, bring it to your front stop
Now I'm on Y-65, just got off I-10
In the handicap van, fill it up with midgets man
I mean the good I know is show and it ain't come from rappin money
Ten bands, all tens, nigga that's my trap money

I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap
I got trap money, I got trap-I got trap

I got twenty for a show, but it's really rap money
twenty for a hoe and that's really trap money

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chief Keef Ft. Shawty Lo's song "Trap" are discussing the idea that money doesn't always come from legal means. The song talks about the trap, which is a place where illegal drugs, specifically crack-cocaine, are sold in open-air markets. The song emphasizes the fact that these drug sales result in significant profits, which can result in significant wealth for those involved in the trap. The lyrics discuss the fact that even those who enter the trap to make money illegally can earn more significant money than those who earn money legally through rap music or other means.

The lyrics also delve into the idea that those who are wealthy as a result of the trap are admired by some, at least in the communities where the trap operates. The song emphasizes the fact that those with money from the trap are the "real" ballers, rather than those with wealth from conventional, legal work. The lyrics suggest that those who earn money through rap music or other conventional work are not as lasting as those who become wealthy through the trap, which is where the true money resides.

Overall, the song highlights the idea that wealth may come from unconventional means and that those who earn their money illegally can generate significant profits, often more significant than those who earn income legally.
