Trippin
EarthGang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I don't need no part-time love
Got no room for one-night stands
You take it all too serious (so serious)
You got a problem, don't ya?
I shoulda known
Shoulda known that these bitches wanna stress me
I shoulda known
Shoulda known that these hoes would possess me
I do love you, I'm almost through
But you always be trippin', baby (ooh-ooh)
Swear it's always an issue lately
But you know I'm gon' miss you, baby (baby)
But I can't get through lately
Said you always be trippin', baby
Swear it's always an issue lately
But you know I'm gon' miss you, baby (baby)
Said, it's gonna be ripples, now I can't kiss you
Not like I meant to, 'fore it's official, let me know
Missed your call
Once again (shit)
Problem is I'm not up to no good, baby
I been hustling', hope you understand
I know you wanna take a trip together
My schedule fuckin' up your plans (okay)
I appreciate you for your patience
Even though I know it's runnin' thin
I ain't tryna put you on the waitlist
Maybe we were better off as friends
But you came for the swipe right, stay for the WiFi
Know that's a dice roll, respect the lifestyle
I ain't tryna fight now, baby girl, pipe down
Hold on lil' Mama, where you goin'? Hear me out
But you always be trippin', baby
Swear it's always an issue lately
But you know I'm gon' miss you, baby (baby)
But I can't get through lately
Said you always be trippin', baby
Swear it's always an issue lately
But you know I'm gon' miss you, baby (baby)
Said, it's gonna be ripples, now I can't kiss you
Not like I meant to, 'fore it's official, let me know
I'm possessive, I'm a wreck, stress you out with the extras
But I'm the best, got fire sex
pull up rough and leave a mess, oh
Tell me you love it when you're inside
Tell me it's forever 'cause it feels right
Got me by my hips 'cause it sit high
And next I'm down 'cause it drip right
You know I want you to ask more
You know I need you to fast forward
Put a new stamp on my passport
Fuck me in Greece with my hands on the dashboard
What more can I ask for?
I just want you to go all crazy
I heard that your stroke ain't lazy
Heard that you hung, and you swung
And you'll make me lose my mind
But that's good for me, I'm creative, why we not creatin'?
But you always be trippin', baby (baby-ay-ay, ohh)
But you know I'm gon' miss you, baby
(I'm gonna miss you baby) but I can't, (oh)
Said you always be trippin' (trippin', baby, baby, baby)
Swear it's always an issue lately (yeah, baby)
But you know I'm gon'
Said, it's gonna be ripples, now I can't kiss you (no)
Not like I meant to (oh), 'fore it's official (c'mon)
Let me know
The lyrics of EarthGang's song "Trippin" explore the complexities of a romantic relationship that is always in turmoil due to one partner's overbearing nature and the other's struggle to balance their personal life and career. The singer is addressing their partner who always finds a reason to argue and create drama in the relationship. They express that they do care about their partner but have grown exhausted from the constant emotional strain imposed on them. The singer also acknowledges their own flaws, such as being possessive and creating additional stress but emphasizes that their physical connection is intense and fulfilling.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "you always be trippin', baby" which has a double meaning. It can be understood as the partner always creating issues or 'tripping,' or the partner always tripping in a drug-induced state causing issues in the relationship. The lyrics also touch on the difficulty of finding time for a romantic relationship when one's career demands the majority of their time. Ultimately, the singer contemplates if the relationship is even worth salvaging or if it's time to call it quits.
Overall, "Trippin" is a song that dives into the complexities of modern relationships and the challenges that arise when the lines between love and personal ambition blur.

My schedule fuckin' up your plans (okay)
But my busy schedule is preventing us from making plans (I know, it sucks)
I appreciate you for your patience
I'm grateful for your understanding
Even though I know it's runnin' thin
Even though I know your patience is wearing thin
I ain't tryna put you on the waitlist
I don't want to keep delaying things between us
Maybe we were better off as friends
Maybe we were never meant to be together romantically
But you came for the swipe right, stay for the WiFi
You might've been interested in me for superficial reasons, but you stayed for the deeper connection
Know that's a dice roll, respect the lifestyle
That can be a risky move, but I respect your choices and way of life
I ain't tryna fight now, baby girl, pipe down
I don't want to argue right now, so calm down, baby girl
Hold on lil' Mama, where you goin'? Hear me out
Wait a minute, where are you going? Let me explain myself
I'm possessive, I'm a wreck, stress you out with the extras
I can be controlling and emotional, and I add more stress to your life
But I'm the best, got fire sex, pull up rough and leave a mess, oh
But I'm also confident that our physical connection is incredible, and sometimes I can surprise you in a good way
Tell me you love it when you're inside
Tell me you enjoy our sexual intimacy
Tell me it's forever 'cause it feels right
Tell me that our connection is meant to last forever, because it feels right to us.
Got me by my hips 'cause it sit high, and next I'm down 'cause it drip right
You know exactly how to get me going, and I'm practically putty in your hands!
You know I want you to ask more
You know that I want you to take the initiative more often
You know I need you to fast forward
You know that I need you to move our relationship forward
Put a new stamp on my passport
Let's travel and experience new things together!
Fuck me in Greece with my hands on the dashboard
Let's get intimate and adventurous, like having sex in a car in Greece!
What more can I ask for?
What else could I possibly want?
I just want you to go all crazy
I just want you to let loose and enjoy yourself
I heard that your stroke ain't lazy, heard that you hung, and you swung
I heard that you're good in bed and that you know how to move
And you'll make me lose my mind, but that's good for me, I'm creative, why we not creatin'?
You drive me crazy in a good way, and that can inspire me to create even more. So why not take advantage of that energy and create something together?

Greetings Beautiful soul! (forgive me abit i know I am not exactly what you may have come here for ..) but my name is Ibn Orator...I am an Avant-Garde, introspective & Political Hip Hop Artist from New Haven CT. I've recently released a project titled "The Fishbowl Syndrome" that is centered around the topic of our mental health and art; how they intertwine in experience or how they are sometimes viewed juxtapose, and ostracized as one here in America;to which my first debut music video "The Horse on a Trampoline", works showcase on the spectrum of my own experiences with it-- that i feel fans alike of FKA twigs, Doja Cat, Earthggang, Flying lotus, Childish Gambino or those of Bjork, Kid Cudi , Lupe Fiasco, & Reggie watts may resonate with...id like to share this with you by giving a warm welcome to my Channel to not only, like and subscribe but to comment with genuine thoughts . (Please leave a comment there underneath the video and not here) as i would like for my listeners to feel welcomed to give more in thought towards those uncomfortable conversations than in clout, which is what my subject matter is based on ..."Commentary on our shared world".In hopes that this may be fruitful to you i look forward to your response
