BAD
Ginger Trill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah bad to the bone
Badβ€Š to the bone
Yeah

Uh bad to the bone
I got word that you back in your zone
Youβ€Š know slay queening
Backβ€Š in your throne so you barely made time to even chat on your phone
You used to hit me like where you at
Isβ€Š you home at your flat you alone such and that
But nowadays you don't even answer
Remember when we used to kick it at your spot
Play a lil music get a glass of PatrΓ³n
Thenβ€Š you do your freak em dance like you bad and you know it
If I had another chance with that ass shit you know that I would smash
Wouldn't even brag to the homies
Wanted to be saved but I'm not that heroic still
I got the dank and the MoΓ«t if you ever wanna hang for a moment
I ain't even mean to double tap I was scrolling on the 'gram
Shit okay I was trolling
I was wondering how you holding up
Yeah, your homie told you I would slow you up
I hate that hoe I know you well and she don't know enough
She probably think I want you back just cause you glowing up
High rollers blowing up your celly
Snapchat booming and the 5 star telly
Flexing on 'em hoes, bad bitch petty that's just bad bitch petty
Shit, still you know where I'm at when you ready
When you ready

Only when you ready
You say you never made love and you never did
But you sure know how to fuck and that's all we ever did
But you sure know how to bust it that's all you ever did
All these niggas tryna cuff you but you never with it
In the club drinking all the pain getting hella lit
You never loved these niggas no you never will
I guess you got some issues we all got some issues
We fucked around and got too close
You acted weird I kept my distance
Couldn't finish what I started with you yeah
Like why do I even bother with you
Why must shit always be so much harder with you
That's when you call me unreliable
I know you still love me you indenial though
Tell me you could be with anybody
Why you wanna be with somebody that's been with everybody

Overall Meaning

The song "BAD" by Ginger Trill is a story about a past lover whom the rapper is reminiscing about. It seems as though the two have drifted apart as the female lead has become more focused on her "slay-queening" social media presence, leaving little time for real-life connection. The artist reflects on memories of spending time with her, getting drunk on PatrΓ³n and enjoying her dancing, which she knows is provocative. He admits that he still finds her attractive and would sleep with her again but wouldn't necessarily brag to his friends about it. However, he acknowledges that his former love interest probably has more going on than what meets the eye, and even though he hates her friend who warned her about him, he knows she doesn't necessarily know the full extent of what's going on. The song seems to be a contemplation of missed opportunities and regret, as the rapper seems torn between wanting to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend and feeling that perhaps it's not worth the effort.


Overall, Ginger Trill's song "BAD" delves into the complexities of romantic relationships in the age of social media. The lyrics touch on themes such as the superficiality that often accompanies the online persona of a person, especially when they are trying to look like they are 'living their best life.' The song also touches on the prevalence of casual sex and the difficulty of building a meaningful connection in a hook-up culture. The lyrics' overall tone is one of nostalgia and regret, with the rapper looking back at a missed opportunity to connect with someone he cared about.

i don't think he is being slept on at all. I think people just need to wake up to what else is out there. when your mind is locked into being told what's hot you barely spend time searching for music that rubs u just right. like this joint here- Flames from production to lyrics and delivery and this very simple yet stylish video. Dope all round!!!

@pastorfilex

True..

@pastorfilex

We would want to enjoy this... When he blows up.. We go enjoy it more.. Coz we grown up listening..

@thamsanqatyatya9328
