Diplo and MIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ten toes down so i ain't worried bout it going up
Fully focused off the drugs i ain't gotta sober up
Thinking i'm a real quick lick you prolly slow as fuck
Fuck talking ain't no what's up when niggas know what's up
Bro scam he won't throw a punch but he might throw a punch
Gang told me keep it tucked before we started rolling blunts
Re really tryna get a bucket so i know he cut
You dont know why niggas moving loose ? then you don't know enough
Nigga acting like he steppin, must think he the only one
They just be posting bro on the block like he posting up
Fuck a back door i ain't gotta snake shit
Pat keep a k clip for niggas on that ape shit
Bro icing niggas meanwhile they be on cake shit
Hope niggas don't think they getting over when they lane switch
Re MIA & Grindhard like a skate trick
Gee know i'm g so we ain't even gotta say shit
Niggas moving different round this bitch im on the same shit
Shit changed i had to change to, in the same cents
That shit raps can't be with hams cause we can't mix
Muhfuckas swear they know it all but they ain't hip
Told bro i'm knowin life a gamble so i take risk
I ain't lyin at a dice game they won't shake shit
Imma bait em in like a fish i won't debate shit
Niggas fit in in the fitting room cause they change quick
Gang be up on the same shit we won't change shit
Nigga think he getting off on gang he on some laced shit
Re MIA & Grindhard like a skate trick
Gee know i'm g so we ain't even gotta say shit
Niggas moving different round this bitch i'm on the same shit
Shit changed i had to change to, in the same sense
That shit raps can't be with hams cause we can't mix
Muhfuckas swear they know it all but they ain't hip
Told bro i'm knowin life a gamble so i take risk
I ain't lyin at a dice game they won't shake shit
The opening line "Weed in my lungs, I think I'm going numb" sets the tone for the entire song: a laid back, drug-influenced track. The lyrics are straightforward, but the message behind them is deep. The rapper is reflecting on his life, the choices he's made, and the direction he's headed. The second line "Ten toes down, so I ain't worried about it going up" reflects his dedication to staying grounded despite the fame and success that may come his way. He's focused on the present and the here and now, not the future.
The rapper is fully focused on the drugs he's taking and is in a mindset where he doesn't need to sober up. It's as if he's trying to escape reality and live in a different world where he doesn't have to face his problems. He acknowledges that some people are slow, and he's not one of them. He's quick-witted, and he knows how to work his way around things. He also talks about his gang, how they stick together and protect each other, making sure they're "tucked" before going out to "roll blunts." He's trying to get a "bucket," which likely means money, and he's trying to do it as quickly as possible.
The lyrics reflect a life of drug use, money-making, and sticking together with your gang. It's a glimpse into a world that's not often seen by those outside of it.
