DJ Snake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Face down, ass up
The top of yo booty jigglin' out yo'jeans
Baby pull yo'pants up
I like it when I see you do it
Better than I ever seen it done before
A lot of women drop it to the ground
BUT, how low can you go
Never would of imagined it
Not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror
Now you doin' it on the dance floor
Mad 'cuz I can't get with you
Just show me how to dance (OOOH)
I may not want to get low
So I'm post it up kinda like a playa do
But if you come to the crib then
I might show you girls a thang or 2
Yeah I think you a superstar
With a ass like that you gotta blew
Before you make it big there's just one thing that I gotta know
How low can you go?I could go low, (go low) lower than you know,
Go low, (go low) lower than you know,
Go low, (go low) lower than you know,
Go low, (go low) lower than you know,
Go low, (go low) lower than you know,
Oh where my kitty cat give a dog a bone
How many licks does it take 'till I get to the center
And let a reala nigga take you home
I can make this show stop
As soon as you hear this flow pop
From A-T-L-A-N-T-A and all the way down to yo' drop
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really gettin low,
Then I'mma shoot a video and put it all on T.V.
'Cuz I like that French vanilla and the caramel
BUT, when it comes to chocolate
I know that very well
Asian persuasion, no discrimination
I love how they seem to please us
Peanut buttercups like Reese's Pieces
'Cuz I think you a superstar
With a ass like that you gotta blew
Before you make it big well there's just one thing that I gotta know
How low can you go?Drop it, hit it, dump it, split it
Put it in reverse just to back it up
Let me put some Luda in it
Show me what you working with
I'll show you some of this bank roll
Yeah you a superstar
There's just a thing I gotta know
The song "How Low" by DJ Snake featuring Lil Jon is a dance track that mainly centers on the idea of dropping it low on the dance floor, and challenging women to show just how low they can go. The lyrics depict a playful and sexual tone as Lil Jon encourages women to move their bodies to his beats. He acknowledges that a lot of women do well, but he wants to see who can take it the lowest. He describes a scene where women drop it to the ground and then asks for something higher, challenging them to go even lower than their mothers could even imagine in one's lifetime.
Lil Jon also references different races and flavors of women, claiming to love them all, but expressing a particular weakness for chocolate women. He also raps about his wealth and ability to show women a good time.
In conclusion, DJ Snake's "How Low" is a fun and upbeat party song focusing on dancing low and seducing a woman to come back with Lil Jon to his crib. The song has a catchy tune and the lyrics can be interpreted as objectifying women or just simply promoting sexual empowerment and body positivity.
