Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight

How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Don't leave your shit around, what
Take me to the bank, certified amount
How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Booty on the outside

Can't double back, double stack, triple stack, jetpack
Low crack, low sale, grand prize, pay 'em gram, can't lag
Might pay to feed that, speed gap (oh my)
Lost highway, speed neck, seek Jane
On deck with no grease trap
High stake that, one-take track, can't fake that
Cut it back, go back, back, take that

Flag full of backslide
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight

Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside

Keratin on pants dried, good to paraglide, blare a fie
Surfin' through a tail pipe
Stick shift stun drive, turn on a tail light, sail like
Learn you how to dead right
Bounce with no downside, down for that joyride
Ghostride, bouta do a no rod
Low ride, grip it like a cheetah fly
Bonafide creeper type

Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise

Overall Meaning

The song "Streaky" by Death Grips is a rap-rock track with distorted beats and aggressive lyrics that talk about drugs, sex, and reckless behavior. The song starts with the repeated word "Streaky," which could represent a state of mind, a substance or a situation that is unstable or chaotic. The lyrics mention "franchises" and "certified amounts," which could refer to drug dealing and money laundering. The repetition of "Oh my" and "bye-bye" throughout the song suggests a sense of urgency, but also a lack of control or foresight.


The chorus of the song talks about being "streaky on the outside," which could be interpreted as appearing confident and flashy, but also vulnerable and unpredictable. The lines "southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight" and "booty on the outside" could refer to sexual encounters or objectification of women. The lines "don't throw it on the ground, take me to the bank" and "don't leave your shit around" could also hint at paranoia and desperation.


The verses of the song include surreal imagery and wordplay, such as "keratin on pants dried, good to paraglide" and "stick shift stun drive, turn on a tail light, sail like." The lines "can't double back, double stack, triple stack, jetpack" and "learn you how to dead right" could suggest living fast and dangerously, but also being trapped in a cycle of addiction and crime.


Overall, "Streaky" is a gritty and intense song that showcases Death Grips' unconventional style and confrontational attitude. The lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways, but they all convey a sense of rebellion and nihilism.
