Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to cut to the twist and now life kinda sucks
Tryna chase a bag but at my job they really tweakin
My bitch just left me so that means there's no more freakin
Draco in the back just in case ya niggas playin
I think I'm goin crazy so you try I get to sprayin
Polar pop a bitch so ya digg I get to bussin
I never get attached so I had to hit her cousin
Ouu ayee nigga we rockin, 44 glizzy we poppin
For hoes no shopping, if you in the pic I'm croppin

Freak a leak a bitch and make her body lock wit it

Lesson learned it won't work without communication
Better make it I don't care what fuckin charge you facin

The lyrics of "Barbershop" by E-40 B-Legit Stresmatic talks about a man who is sitting in a barbershop chair ready for a haircut while reflecting on his current situation. He laments the struggles of trying to accumulate wealth while dealing with the pressures of his job, and his recent breakup with his girl. He also mentions having a Draco (a type of gun) in the back, which suggests that he is not someone to be messed with. He seems to be on the verge of a mental breakdown as he mentions going crazy and being ready to spray if someone tries him. The chorus emphasizes his readiness for conflict as he polar pops (a type of gun) a bitch and gets to bussin suggesting that he is not afraid to defend himself.
As the verse progresses, he mentions his affinity for lean and the franchise boys' song "Lean wit it, Rock wit it". His sexual prowess is also briefly mentioned as he brags about how he can "Freak a leak a bitch and make her body lock wit it". He also warns people not to mess with him and that he is about to "lose it". The line "Wanna match like Gogeta fuse it whoa ayee" refers to a popular anime show, Dragon Ball Z in which the main characters can fuse to become more powerful. He boasts that he can drop 50 points in a game like D-Rose (a famous basketball player) and that he will make his partner "drippin curl ya toes" during sex.
The second verse starts with a reference to Ike Turner, who was infamous for his abusive behavior towards his former wife Tina Turner. The singer claims that he has a burner (a gun) like Ike Turner and that he "drops bombs" on his enemies like Kurt Warner, a former NFL quarterback who was known for his ability to throw the ball far. He also references the animated show "Rick and Morty" and the idea of not joining any federation which suggests a sense of independence. He emphasizes the importance of communication in achieving success and mentions the need to communicate with God to find peace.
