The Half
DJ Snake Lyrics

It's a Friday, I'm 'bout to go off
It's Friday, and I'm ready to let loose and have a good time.

Got my chains on and I'm 'bout to show off
Wearing my jewelry, and I'm excited to show it off.

DJ Snake up in here about to go off
DJ Snake is here, and it's about to be an explosive party.

Now go off, now go off goddamn
Party hard, really let loose and enjoy the night.

Smoke stress to get rid of all the stress
Smoking marijuana to alleviate the pressure and anxiety of life.

On the run, nigga, goin' for the checks
Always hustling, trying to make more money.

These niggas don't know the half (show time)
People don't understand the magnitude of success and wealth they've achieved. It's time to show them.

See the hoes, see the clothes, see the cash (goddamn)
Flaunting their material possessions, eye-catching women, stylish clothing, and lots of money.

Gettin' high for the low, shit was bad
Recreational drug use was a way to mitigate the difficult times in the past.

These niggas don't know the half (say what?)
No one seems to understand their true struggles and successes.

These niggas don't know the half (talk to 'em)
Reiterating that people are ignorant to their accomplishments and hardships.

Swear to God, these niggas don't know the half
Swearing on their complicit belief that their true worth is beyond people's imagination.

(Rewind now)
Let's play that part again one more time.

Kill 'em off off like I got a mask on it
Rapidly dismantling foes like a masked assassin.

Guillotine a Benz, you don't know the half of it
Chopping down a Mercedes-Benz to customize it is just one facet of their lifestyle.

Whole squad winnin', you got small money
Their group is prospering with substantial wealth, while others are not as successful.

Don't need too many hands, I need all of it
Rather than spreading out their success to too many people, they desire to keep it all for themselves.

You ain't ever been around, call me 2Pac
If you weren't there to see it, you'll never understand their struggles and triumphs. Referencing late rapper Tupac Shakur, whose life was full of hardships.

Pull up in my old hood in a new drop
Driving around their old neighborhood in a new, expensive convertible car.

On that kush, on that kush, blow a cloud of it
Smoking marijuana and slowly exhaling a thick cloud of smoke.

I'm the man, I'm the man, yeah I'm proud of it
Feeling masculine and powerful, proud of their accomplishments.

Blowin' bands, got 'em jumpin' out the window
Throwing large amounts of money around, causing people to act crazy and jump out windows in excitement.

Shout out, shout out, pour some more and call it reload
Celebrating success, and toasting with more alcohol, calling the next round a 'reload.'

Know I pull up, pull up on 'em like a free throw
Arriving at a location confidently and effortlessly, similar to making a free throw in basketball.

Or go straight up, up the middle like I'm D. Rose
Going directly towards the goal like basketball player Derrick Rose, who is known for his aggressive driving to the basket.

Treat your chick just like a whip and get another one
Treating their romantic partner as expendable and quickly replacing them with a new one.

Wanna grab it, push it, smash and get another one
Wants to have rough sexual intercourse with someone and quickly move on to the next person.

See my dogs on top, that's the math of it
Their close friends and supporters are in a position of power and success, which is the formula for success.

Multiply the money up, no that's just half of it
Increasing their wealth is only part of the goal, there's much more to accomplish.

(Talk to 'em, rewind now)
Speaking to the audience, encouraging them to listen closely by playing the part again.

Yeah smoke that Kush, yeah smoke that Kushy, baby
Encouraging marijuana use by repeating the phrase 'smoke that Kush.'

Meanwhile me and you stuntin', that lil' mushy, baby
And while we're out flaunting our wealth, we're doing it with someone who's very attractive.

I don't want cook, I wanna book it, baby
Not interested in spending time at home and cooking, instead eager to go out and live life to the fullest.

I'll knock that lil' shit out the park to let you know I'm not a rookie, baby
With this phrase, they're communicating that they're not somebody to be underestimated, and they're fully capable of achieving incredible feats and knocking them out of the park.

Oh, take a breath
Take a moment to pause and relax.

These niggas don't know the half of the first steps
Other people don't understand how far they've come already and how many obstacles they had to overcome.

My day one niggas, I don't pick through, I don't stutter step
Always remaining loyal to their closest friends, never hesitating or being indecisive when making choices.

That's cakin', nigga, you not a vamp, you don't know the steps
Being rich is a way of life for them, which takes a certain amount of skill and knowledge; if you don't get it, you don't belong.

She showered and she dry it off, and then she lay it
After taking a shower, she dried herself and then presented herself to be sexed (lay down).

That head done brought that dope back, like I'm in the eighties
The oral sex was so good that it's reminiscent of the drug epidemic of the 1980s that they're glamorizing.

I'ma pimp the parkin' lot, I'ma let you play it
Controlling the environment like a pimp, and allowing others to partake in the enjoyment.

You never 'posed to stop, but you can relay it
Don't ever quit, but instead pass it on to the next person to keep the momentum going.

And I'm like wooh, you don't know the half, you don't know the mothafuckin' truth
They're exclaiming that people don't understand how much they have accomplished or how much truth there is to their story.

You don't know how much stress I release when I'm on booths
When they're performing and creating music, it's an opportunity to release any pent up stress or anxiety they may be experiencing.

It's all a lot, you don't know what come behind the groove
There's a lot more to their creativity and life than just the surface level, and people don't understand the amount of hard work required to reach this level of success.

It's a lot, but get with, lil nigga, I do
It may sound overwhelming, but they're telling others to follow their example and pursue their goals no matter what.

(Talk to 'em, rewind now)
Once again telling the audience to listen carefully by playing this part one more time.
