Saturday Night Special
Curren$y Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eastside
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ladada-dada, dada, dada
Uh, yeah
Clean, like I put a set of gold things on a bar of soap
What's in every bar? Another motivational quote
While these niggas going through phases
I never mutated or deviated from the life or mission statement
This is preservation of the vibe
Never let them forget the time
Well they say you was a rapper
You fasho had to know how to rhyme
I keep my passport close, 'cause it eases my mind
(Eases my mind)
It's a shame what they did to it
Now the rap just don't go that same route
When they take rawness away, just
Just they make it too pretty
I'm feelin' trapped on this revolvin' land mine
That could blow at any minute
Saturday night special with one bullet in the chamber
And six cylnders spinnin'
Russian Roulette, the American Dream could be your death
Or it could be everything
It's M.O.B. Everything
Back in '03 had Gucci seats, I put Gs on everything
Made matrimony with this game
I got cocaine when it rains
Them niggas taxin' for the nina
They want like ten and some change
I got my tears and my pain
I got my balls and my girl
And I ain't breakin' that shit for a nigga or bitch
That shit is absurd
I'm controversial with these verbs
Like Christopher Wallace with words
Felix Mitchell with birds
Malcolm X with the perm
Nigga
Freddie Gibbs, I heard the name, but I didn't know
Like, I didn't know how good he was
It was after the photoshoot
After I had already shook hands with him and met him
I told him this when I seen him again, too, out in LA
I was like, yo, I was like, yo, I ain't even know, like, you really good
Yeah
Bitch hit my line said she wanna go eat and drink and smoke and shit (Goofy bitch)
Before I hung up, I said call me when you want some dick
(Want some dick)
I'll never go broke in this game
I'll charge it on a bitch (Charge it on a bitch)
So, my family and my kids will never want for shit
Stuck in a cell with no windows but I got a pot to piss
Smokin' that dope on a daily
Fucked up the probation, I gotta go drop some piss
Hope in a truck, and I throw on that Twista
Adrenaline Rush on some mobster shit
Even when niggas was broke
We made it look rich, bitch, I'ma optimist
My presence'll fuck up your confidence
Freaky bitches, I'm they confidant
Trappin' out of muh fuckas rappers, slappin' these Poppadoc
Rza with the zippers, official men chop it off the block
Once I made an M, I ain't give a fuck if I popped or not
And I can't swim, a nigga ain't never had dreams of coppin' yachts
But I kowabunga, servin' that pussy at a thousand knots
Rest in peace to Ruck, tell Jesus I need a billion bucks
Goon with the balloon, ain't no helium, but I sealed him up
Feel the rush
The song "Saturday Night Special" by Curren$y Freddie Gibbs is a portrayal of the harsh realities of life and the streets. The lyrics reference the idea of preserving the vibe, never forgetting the time, and staying true to oneself. The phrase "gold thangs on a bar of soap" may sound like a random line, but it actually signifies the idea of making something ordinary into something special - just like putting gold things on a regular bar of soap can make it look elegant, one can elevate their life and stay true to oneself without changing who they are. The song also highlights the realities of American Dream, how it can be a source of death or success, but ultimately, it all comes down to the choices one makes.
The lyrics also discuss the harsh realities of the street life, referencing the Russian Roulette and how it can be a matter of life and death. Gibbs talks about charging everything on a woman to ensure his kids and family have everything they need, and his need to stay true to himself, no matter what happens. The song also references other well-known rappers and legends such as RZA, Felix Mitchell, and Christopher Wallace, creating a sense of kinship and camaraderie within the rap world.

Saturday night special with one bullet in the chamber, And six cylnders spinnin'
I feel like I'm in a dangerous situation, with only one shot to protect myself and six wheels spinning out of control.
Russian Roulette, the American Dream could be your death, Or it could be everything
Like playing Russian Roulette, chasing the American Dream can be dangerous and deadly, but it can also bring great rewards.

Drug dealers are charging way too much for their guns, asking for ten dollars or more.

I'm holding onto the things that matter most to me, and I'm not letting anyone or anything take them away from me.
Felix Mitchell with birds, Malcolm X with the perm
I'm a controversial, influential figure in hip hop, like Felix Mitchell or Malcolm X.
Bitch hit my line said she wanna go eat and drink and smoke and shit (Goofy bitch), Before I hung up, I said call me when you want some dick
A woman called me, but I didn't want to hang out unless she was interested in having sex with me.
I'll never go broke in this game, I'll charge it on a bitch (Charge it on a bitch), So, my family and my kids will never want for shit
I'll never run out of money in the music industry; I'll always find a way to make someone else pay for it. This way, I can provide for my family and children without any worries.
Trappin' out of muh fuckas rappers, slappin' these Poppadoc, Rza with the zippers, official men chop it off the block
I'm making money by selling drugs to other rappers and slapping those who try to cross me. I'm like Rza, cutting up and preparing drugs to sell.
And I can't swim, a nigga ain't never had dreams of coppin' yachts, But I kowabunga, servin' that pussy at a thousand knots
I'm not interested in buying luxury yachts or living a lavish lifestyle. Instead, I focus on making money as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Rest in peace to Ruck, tell Jesus I need a billion bucks
I'm paying respects to the late rapper Ruck and jokingly asking him to request a billion dollars from Jesus on my behalf.
Goon with the balloon, ain't no helium, but I sealed him up, Feel the rush
I'm a thug selling drugs, and I've packed them tight like balloons without any helium. There's a sense of excitement and adrenaline that comes with this lifestyle.
