EARL
Earl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo
I'm a hot and bothered astronaut
Crashing while jacking off
To buffering vids of Asher Roth
Eattin' apple sauce
Sent to Earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws
And knock blunt ashes into their caskets
And laugh it off
Twisted sicker than mad cattle
In fact I'm off
Six different liquors

With a Prince wig plastered on
Stop screamin', bitch, you shouldn't be that alarmed
When Big Lips is in the Attic Arms with an addicts arm
Earl puts the 'ass' in "assassin."
Puts the pieces of decomposing bodies in plastic
Puts 'em in a pan and mixes it up with scat
Then gobbles it like fat black bitches and catfish
It so happens that I'm so haphazardous
I'll puke a piece and put it on a hook
And fucking cast the shit

I'm asking that you faggot rap actors take action
And get a hall pass from this class-act shit
How the fuck I fit a axe in a satchel?
Slip capsules in the glass, you dizzy rascal
Party staff baffled, asking where her ass go
In my room redefining the meaning of black holes
Before I suck it up. But hurry
I got nuts to bust, and butts to fuck, and ups to shut
And sluts to fucking uppercut
It's OF, buttercup, go ahead, fuck with us

Without a doubt
A sure-fire way to get your mother fucked
Asked for a couple bucks
Shove a trumpet up her butt
Play a song, invade her thong
My dick is having guts for lunch
As well as supper, then I rummage through her ruptured cunt
Found the mustard
Fuckin' nosey neighbors notice something's up
"Whatcha doin'?"
Nothin' much
Would shout some other stuff
Gotta fucking bounce
Guess the bouncers had enough of us

"Fuck you doin'? Eat my dick! I'll eat your ass!"
"Fuck T in the ass, man"
"Ay, fuck you!"
"Fuck that nigga, man!"

Get 'em off the pavement
Whipe the dirt and vomit off
DopeBoyz hatin' but them faggots is a lot of talk
Cotton soft, pussy
Them Odd niggas is molotov
Cocktails fuckin' toss 'em into your apartment, dog
Wolf Gang, we ain't barkin', nawh
Try talkin' on a blog with your fuckin' arms cut off
Put 'em in carpet and watch 'em get auctioned off to Ace
Tell Shakes daughter we're sorry but poppa's gone, bitch

Odd Future Wolf Gang, nigga
Fuck them 2DopeBoyz, niggas
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All,
Don't give a fuck, nigga
Stay pop, nigga




Earl, whaddup nigga?
Fuck Steve Harvey

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Earl Sweatshirt's song "Earl" showcase his disturbing imagery and twisted sense of humor. In the first few lines, Earl describes himself as a "hot and bothered astronaut / Crashing while jacking off" to videos of rapper Asher Roth. The lines that follow are even more graphic, as he alludes to violent acts against Catholics and talks about mixing decomposing bodies and feces together to consume.


Earl's verses throughout the song feature explicit and violent lyrics that display his disregard for morality and societal norms. He critiques the rap industry and those who only pretend to be violent or bad, claiming that he is the real deal. He brags about his shocking actions and desires and seems to take pleasure in pushing boundaries and making others uncomfortable.

@Dicem Slasher He was never sent away for his art. He was sent away because he was getting into trouble and fucking up. He talks about it a bunch in Chum.

"I'm drunk, pissy, pissing on somebody front lawn
Trying to figure out how and when the fuck I missed moderate
Momma often was offering peace offerings
Think, wheeze cough, scoffing and he's off again"

"Too black for the white kids and too white for the blacks
From honour roll to cracking locks up off them bicycle racks"
