X-Wing
Denzel Curry Lyrics

All these beats go dumb in the stereo
The music sounds great on the stereo system.

But I'm just too smart for the radio
The artist is confident that their music is too complex to be played on the radio.

Masked up like a young Rey Mysterio
The artist is wearing a mask like the famous wrestler Rey Mysterio, perhaps to hide their true identity.

Mask off when I'm back in the studio
The artist takes off their mask when recording in the studio where they feel safe to be themselves.

Mac ain't make it to 27 Pac ain't make it to 26 BIG ain't make it to 25 It's only right that I gotta get rich
Referring to deceased rappers Mac Miller, Tupac, and Notorious B.I.G., Denzel Curry feels a sense of urgency to make money and be successful before his life meets a similar fate.

Cut niggas off and I curse niggas out Niggas thirsty for help It's a motherfuckin' drought (bitch, it's dry) Niggas envy when you famous first They don't know what they name is worth (they don't know) Please excuse my grammar (please) See my opps gettin' filled with Anna (okay) This game like Home Depot Bitch, they got keys, hoes, and hammers (for the low, for the low)
The artist cuts off people who do not support or understand him and curses those who ask for help in a period of scarcity. He observes people who envy the famous but don't understand the value of their own name. The artist excuses his poor grammar and observes his opponents filled with bullets. The rap game is compared to a hardware store that always has keys, women, and weapons available for sale.

Niggas gangsters, killers, and scammers We was out dodgin' bullets and cameras When you broke, niggas won't throw slander Get money, now your ass can't stand us, man
The artist and his community have a history of violence and dodging danger. People won't talk poorly of the artist when he's broke, but now that he's successful, they can't stand him.

I want a whole lot of green and a pair of nice jeans I been with the new beam and this pair of ice creams Ever since I was a teen (uh-huh), I been focused on the cream (uh-huh) Want the clothes and the kicks and (what?)
The artist wants a lot of money and a pair of expensive jeans. He has a new gun and a pair of expensive shoes. Since he was young, he's been focused on making money and wants expensive clothes and shoes.

And I don't want a car, I want an X-Wing (yeah) I'm just onto the next thing Growing up, I didn't have the best things Now my diamonds on my neck gleam
Instead of wanting a fancy car, the artist wants something even cooler, like an X-Wing. He's always looking for the next best thing. He didn't have a lot growing up but now he has expensive jewelry.

New mind state in a new spot Fuck a TikTok, bought a new watch It's my time now, where my G-Shock? Fur coat fresh off a sasquatch Told me to keep it PC Nah, nigga, I'ma let the MAC pop Everybody wanna be the man I'm the nigga counting money in the backdrop
The artist has a new mental perspective, is in a new location, and purchases expensive items like watches and fur coats. He doesn't care about conforming to appropriateness, and is willing to take risks. Everyone wants to be the center of attention, meanwhile he humbly counts his money in the background.

Oh shit, it's the nigga slicker than some lubricant Young, exuberant Movin' through the city where your Uber went Am I killin' it or am I losin' it? 'Stead of counting sheep, I count dollars Ridin' high, Chevy Impala If I make that bitch an inch taller, then I upgrade to a Skywalker
The artist is moving through the city with confidence and energy. He questions whether he's doing well or poorly in his career. Instead of counting sheep, he counts his money. He's driving a flashy car, and thinking about upgrading to something even more impressive, like the fictional spaceship in Star Wars.

Rap elite, I'm top tier Kill the game, then drop tears Gassed up, I'm Scarecrow, I reveal your worst fears Niggas work hard 'til they on Star Island But I won't stop 'til I own Star Island Money stack up and the jets keep pilin' Drop-top windshield, Audi 5000
The artist is at the top of the rap game and gets emotional about his success. He is confident and intimidating, like the Batman villain Scarecrow. People work hard to achieve certain things, like living on an exclusive island, but he has even higher aspirations. He's got a lot of money, and takes expensive jets. He's driving a convertible car and feeling good about his success.
