Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila
Guess I'll see you when I see you
Oh, nah
I'ma make you a believer
Oh, adios
Good God, more stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila
Guess I'll see you when I see you
Oh, adios
Tried to make you a believer
Oh, adios
Guess I'll see you when I see you
Cold sweats, wide awake
Bloodstains on my pillowcase
OMG, not okay
Roll the gas, meditate
Me and Venus, life for dealin' shade
Come in mamacita, throw that thing my way
Oh, let the record play
Oh, I just cut the snakes
Seen lil' boy take his last breath
Where my lil' brother took his first, it fucked me up
Life was full of catchy hooks and upper-cuts
Used to hit them open mics at Crystal Club
That's my job, 'cause I was workin' high as fuck
The sun is slowin' down, the stars is linin' up
And all my old bitches tryna keep in touch
It's funny how I took my time to beat the rush
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila
Guess it make you a believer
Oh, okay
I'ma see you when I see you
No? Adios
Guess I'll see you when I see you
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila (wow)
I'ma see you when I see you (see you when I see you)
Oh, okay (okay)
Tried to make you a believer (tried to make you a believer)
No? Adios (yeah)
Guess I'll see you when I see you (yeah, uh)
Bottom of the bottle
Allocate my problems
Drownin' in my own shit
Deliver coffee when you gon' quit
Read it off your tombstone
Here lies a bunch of lies
Just the type to move on
Million memories to chew on
Kumbaya, kumbaya
Yellin', runnin' through the tombs, through the days
Solo dolo, no delays, who to say
Got my message in the glass, no delays
Young Catacomb
Shawty, we a long, long way from home
Shawty, if you rich right, you gon' die too
We a long, long way from Rome, shawty
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila
Guess it make you a believer (uh)
Oh, okay
I'ma see you when I see you
No? Adios (whoa)
Guess I'll see you when I see you (see you when I see you)
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila (uh)
I'ma see you when I see you (see you, shit)
Oh, okay (okay)
Tried to make you a believer (tried to make you a believer)
No? Adios (uh)
Guess I'll see you when I see you (uh)
Now is anyone hearing some kind of static on the mainline?
It ain't mine
I'm not seriously here to be clearin' it up for the eighth time
It's game time
Now it's obviously Tequila o'clock
The gang down to Earth, got my feet on the block
Now that agave got me sloppy in the parking lot
I won't stop, can't stop
How does it feel to stress yourself out?
It's not a good deal, homie, you left out of your own dealings
So give me my card and wipe your feelings, nigga, take a shot
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila
Guess it make you a believer (uh)
Oh, okay
I'ma see you when I see you
No? Adios (whoa)
Guess I'll see you when I see you (see you when I see you)
Good God, so stressed
Perfect day to drink Tequila (uh)
I'ma see you when I see you (see you, shit)
Oh, okay (okay)
Tried to make you a believer (tried to make you a believer)
No? Adios (uh)
Guess I'll see you when I see you
The song "Tequila" by EarthGang is a reflection of the stress and pressure on the artists. The opening line "Good God, so stressed" sets the tone for the entire song. The lyrics suggest that drinking Tequila is the solution to their stress, and they will see people when they see them. The repetition of "Guess I'll see you when I see you" and "Tried to make you a believer" adds to the feeling of uncertainty and a loss of control.
The song also references the artist's personal struggles, including drug use, violent experiences, and the death of loved ones. The lines "Bloodstains on my pillowcase," "Seen lil' boy take his last breath, Where my lil' brother took his first, it fucked me up," and "Got my message in the glass" are powerful images of trauma and coping mechanisms. The chorus of the song, "Good God, so stressed, Perfect day to drink Tequila," reinforces the idea that sometimes the only way to deal with life's struggles is to numb the pain.
Overall, "Tequila" is a raw and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of dealing with stress and trauma. The repetition of phrases and the use of imagery creates an atmosphere of chaos and confusion, suggesting that sometimes there are no easy answers.

@FeaturingSage
Earth Gang is underrated even after what they did on revenge of the dreamers π
@austinc6270
Sage I agree but honestly I hope they stay less mainstream because they have a lot of real fans rn, if everyone knows about them they'd have a bunch of fake/casual fans that act like they love em just to be cool. I think Earthgang is totally fine with the amount of fans they have, but yes they totally deserve way more recognition.
@martincampos4154
I was thinking that this album was gonna make them blow up, but I'm not sure now. I've been listening to them for 3 years now and its crazy how they aren't popular yet
@thedon0516
J.I.D, 6LACK, & Earthgang is what the mainstream ATL rap SHOULD sound like cause all of them sound DIFFERENT and they rap better. We keep getting Migos & Thugger clones and generic artist who just wanna ride the wave and it sucks.
@torradomosupe9942
It takes time.. soon soon
@ItzJeweled
Austin C uh Iβm a casual fan, and most people have heard of em
