WISH
Denzel Curry & Tay Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's heating up
Oh damn

Dreads to the top, gold in my mouth, woah there
Hoes by the flock, no, let me stop, woah there
And I keep a Glock, nah, it's a Glock .40
Hands on a knot, hands on your back, woah there
She gon' bust it open for a nigga in designer
That's gon' be the reason why she let you get behind her
You might be the nigga that's gon' probably wine and dine her
I'ma take her home only usin' one-liners

Pull up in an alligator truck excursion
Bad bitch on the side of me, half Persian
I don't gotta call, but I got call service
So many chains, make a, ooh, feel nervous
Wait, I meant to say my chick from Nicaragua
Put her on the team 'cause we both makin' dollars
Hit her with the stroke, get her wet like aqua
If she was a bop, I would hit, then I drop her
Hang with the bros 'cause you know blood thicker
I miss my vro, so we pour more liquor
And you don't want smoke, you don't want no Swisher
'Cause you don't want war with a South Florida nigga
Miami, Dade on my motherfucking back
I'm Polo'd down to the socks to the nut sack
It's RIP X and RIP Tree
I'ma do it for my dawg, this for all of my G's

Dreads to the top, gold in my mouth, woah there
Hoes by the flock, no, let me stop, woah there
And I keep a Glock, nah, it's a Glock .40
Hands on a knot, hands on your back, woah there
She gon' bust it open for a nigga in designer
That's gon' be the reason why she let you get behind her
You might be the nigga that's gon' probably wine and dine her
I'ma take her home only usin' one-liners

Car stuck, came a long way from bein' a manager
Glocks up with the sticks and the clips lookin' like banana-na
Never pay for pussy, these bitches ain't gettin' nothin'
My name alone gon' make me press on your ho like a button
In my city ridin' vert to Uzi, Lil Uzi Vert
Every week another funeral, only time we go to church
Runnin' all these rappers down a check, they wanna splurge it
Step up in the scene, so fresh, so clean, like a detergent
Quick to cut a pussy nigga up just like a surgeon
I'ma need a Perky 'cause a young nigga be hurtin'
Slidin' like a Taliban with a turban
Pull up all black in a suburban
'Cause he ain't die, so we gotta slide back my grill
Pay my young nigga to get you whacked for five figures
They gon' rip him, flip him, cut his ass up
Put him in a box, and ship him, yup

Dreads to the top, gold in my mouth, woah there
Hoes by the flock, no, let me stop, woah there
And I keep a Glock, nah, it's a Glock .40
Hands on a knot, hands on your back, woah there
She gon' bust it open for a nigga in designer
That's gon' be the reason why she let you get behind her




You might be the nigga that's gon' probably wine and dine her
I'ma take her home only usin' one-liners

Overall Meaning

The first line of this song, "He's heating up, oh damn," is a reference to the classic basketball video game NBA Jam. In the game, when a player makes three shots in a row, they are said to be "heating up" and their next shot has a higher chance of going in.


The rest of the lyrics revolve around typical rap themes of wealth, women, and violence. The artists describe their flashy appearance, their willingness to use guns, and their ability to attract women with their designer clothes. They also talk about the importance of loyalty, the death of some of their friends, and the need to retaliate against those who have wronged them.


Overall, the lyrics depict a world in which material possessions, power, and violence are the keys to success. However, it is also a world where loyalty and a sense of community are highly valued.


Interestingly, the song is a collaboration between Denzel Curry, a well-known rapper from Florida, and Kiddo Marv, a relatively unknown artist from the same area. The two have collaborated on several other songs, including "DREADS" and "Story No Title."
