Big homie out here pimpin’, shit
Big homie out here pimpin’, shit
We been chasing gold like it’s mine though
I been on the road long in my home
Been in the trap, cage broke though
Man I love it here, call it Stockholm
We been chasing gold like it’s mine though,
home
Been in the trap, cage broke
though
Man I love it here, call it Stock
Holm
Working 1 to 9,
It ain’t 9 to 5 but it’s eating me alive
Give you sound advice
Roll that pair of dice,
you might get your paradise
I been on a rise with my niggas
Not ready to fall but I’d die for my niggas
Chacarron stoned, rolling up,
Higher than the ceiling, on a wave like a seal is
Getting real like I see it
(Woo!)
Used to wanna leave my home
In darks days, my dark way
In some ways
Was the only dream I'd hold, now
Left a while and now I’m so
Exhausted, I’m too sick, like nauseous,
Can’t select one, I want both yeah
Burning like a toaster,
I toast to my folks yeah
Waving like a boat yeah
I don’t mean to boast here
We been at the sky for a minute,
What the fucks a limit
Never check the price I just get it we been
We been chasing gold like it's mine though
I been on the road longing my home
Been in the trap, cage broke though
Man I love it here call it Stockholm
We been chasing gold like its mine though
I been on the road longing my
home
Been in the trap, cage broke
though
Man I love it here call it Stock
Holm
Man I love it here, call it Stockholm
Fuck a 9 to 5, I work a 2 to 4
Work a couple hours then head over to
The studio
Who you know?
Out here making moves,
Like I’m Zeus in the booth (Aah!)
Catch me cooking hits,
Gucci in my kitchen
I’mma do my thing, even if nobody listens
I’m a loud muh fucker, pego duro como dicen
I been in the trap, till the cage
Broke the sound system (YEGH!)
I been on my own never signed though,
(Signed though)
Keep it independent, on the rise though
Oye introduceme,
La jeva esta fine though
Mira como mueve from behind,
Make her mine oh
Oye esa nalgita cabron
Seria educada diccionario

The song "Stockholm" by Cook Thugless is an upbeat track that celebrates the artist's success despite the obstacles he's encountered. The lyrics reveal that he has been on the road for a long time, in the trap, and feels like the city he's in is his home. He loves it so much that he calls it "Stockholm," which we can interpret as a metaphor for Stockholm Syndrome. In other words, he's become so attached to the city and the lifestyle that he's willing to rationalize the negative aspects of his situation.
The opening lines "Man, trynna hate on me, y’all know I’m the B.I.G. / Big homie out here pimpin’, shit" present a defiant tone, suggesting that people have tried to bring him down, but he remains confident in his abilities. The theme of chasing gold runs throughout the song, which can be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, it can be seen as a desire for financial success, but on the other hand, it may refer to the pursuit of his dreams and aspirations, such as becoming a successful artist.
The second verse contrasts with the first, revealing a more vulnerable side of the artist. He's tired, exhausted, and nauseous. However, he remains committed to his goals and is not willing to give up. The song ends with a celebratory tone, emphasizing the importance of hard work, dedication, and independence.
