Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me, sir
Yes, your Grace
Is that my flamethrower beside you? (Why it is)
Please, sir, pass it this way
Can you hand me that pistol over there?
Please don't get nothing on it (my Lord, my Lord)
(Yes) please hand me the bazooka (why, thank you)
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang (haha)
No blood on the couch, please (brrah)
Please, no blood on the couch
(Yes) sir, you got blood on the couch
Can you hand me that machine gun? Sir, damn you, yeah

Get my gun, we 'bout to rob a Wells Fargo
Call some broads, we need to get a whole carload
With my dawgs, we pull up looking like a car show
Smoke a blunt and then she get up off my narcos

Father God in heaven above
I come to you as humbly as I know how
Off hella the drugs and I'm out of my mind
In the meantime, I'ma just smoke this loud
Put this shit on my tongue and this shit'll dissolve
Get a shot of Hennessy just to wash it down
All my white friends call me talkin' proper now
I got the BET's deal so I'm hot for now (Yeah)

He without sin cast the first stone
Told my nigga with the gun he can run in your home
One dome shot, niggas'll never look at him wrong again
Oh my God, oh my God, on this lick
In the car twisted, come here, lil' bitch
Suck on my dick, some of the fun under your sister
Come, come, give me some, tongue, tongue, get it done
Young fun, yum, yum, yum, I'm twisted (yeah)

Get my gun, we 'bout to rob a Wells Fargo (I said, I don't give a fuck, ah)
Call some broads, we need to get a whole carload (you gettin' this? You recording this?)
With my dawgs, we pull up looking like a car show (are you getting this?)
Smoke a blunt and then she get up off my narcos (woo, yo)

Roses is falling, the money is calling
I'll pedal forever and ever to you
TEC in the boxes of chocolate
I'll send 'em, I'll ship 'em, I'll get 'em delivered to you
Baby, whatever, just come on
Just hop in and get in the car and we go and get boof
Stragglers is off and they fallin'
Whatever, just tell 'em to tell 'em better not make a move (hey)

Skrrt skrrt in a new thing
Throw the cash and she gettin' Raekwon like the Wu-Tang
I think I deserve me a Mulsanne
Me, you, and two or three hoes should do the group thing
Just don't fuck up the sheets, the Airbnb, and fuck off the lease
Bitch, mind your bees, I need peace of mind
I beat meat, delete, then be leavin' fine, let's go (yeah, ahh)

Get my gun, we 'bout to rob a Wells Fargo
Got some broads, we need to get a whole carload

It just depend on how you count it

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Wells Fargo" by Dreamville's JID & EARTHGANG. The song builds a narrative around a bank robbery, and the lyrics reflect the brazen attitude of the robbers. The opening line of "Excuse me, sir/ Yes, your Grace" has a formality to it, almost like a submission to an authority figure, but the following lines reveal a disregard for moral rules. It is a callous start to a story where the robbers are shown to be high on drugs, reckless, and violent. The lyrics reflect the flashy showmanship of the robbers as they ask to be handed multiple weapons and arrive at the robbery location looking like a car show. The recurring line of "Get my gun, we 'bout to rob a Wells Fargo" is an invitation to the listener to participate in the mayhem. In contrast, the intermission of lyrics that switches to the perspective of the robbers' religious beliefs feels like a sudden veer from the song's theme - a description of criminal behavior to explore the guilty conscience of the robbers.


The following verses then dive back into the robbery with the lyrics showcasing the robbers' misogyny and addiction. The lyrics about the money calling and buying roses, juxtaposed with the rage of the robbers towards any "stragglers" who might get in the way, gives a glimpse into a contradictory lifestyle. The lyrics and the upbeat background music paint a picture of reality divorced from morality, where the legal and ethical rules are replaced by a desire for instant money and mind-numbing drugs.


* Interesting facts about the song:
- The song was released on J. Cole's label, Dreamville Records, in the album "Revenge of the Dreamers III."
- The song features two of his label's top acts, J.I.D and EARTHGANG.
- The song title, "Wells Fargo," is the name of the second-largest bank in the United States.
- The reference to Wells Fargo and the bank robbery theme inspired many fans to label the song as a nod to the movie "Heat," where the lead actors also robbed a Wells Fargo bank.
- The song has received widespread critical acclaim, including being named one of the "50 Best Songs of 2019 So Far" by Complex magazine.
- The music video accompanying the song was released in September 2019, directed by the DREAMVILLE team's very own Chad Tennies, Mac Grant, and Caleb Seales.
- The background music features fiery energy with a looping cello, a breathy flute, and explosive percussion.
- The song has been praised for its use of humor amidst the chaos and violence.
- The song provides contrast with its intermission-like lyrics, which switch to the perspective of the robbers' religious beliefs.
- The repetitive hook, "Get my gun, we 'bout to rob a Wells Fargo," is based on an impromptu hook created during the studio jamming sessions.
