Gunna's song "Drip or Drown" is a quintessential trap song with all the typical braggadocio lyrics that this genre of music is known for. The opening lines of the verse describe his luxury cars that include two Benzes, one Bentley Coupe, and two Bimmers. He declares himself the essential and stays clean as possible. Gunna flexes his wealth even more by stating that he spent $2,000 on his sweatsuit, and walks with a great sense of confidence, or a "demeanor." Gunna then talks about drinking lean and asks who between him and the listener is leaner. He even mentions that he has seen the listener's girlfriend in pictures that were shown to him. Gunna talks about his money, mentioning the 23 racks he has, making him feel like Tinker. Tinker is a reference to Tinker Hatfield, who is a shoe designer who played a considerable role in the Air Jordan line for Nike. Gunna likes his girlfriend because her pussy is pinker. He also mentions crocodile seats in one of his cars and how his cousin looks like he's been shipping packs. In the chorus Gunna does the typical rapper thing of repeating the name of his song over and over.
In the next verse Gunna mentions he has woodgrain on his Damier buckle and has a cool quarter mill in his Goyard duffle bag. He reiterates that he was born with the drip and learned how to hustle. He mentions his designer glasses and how he gets head from his girl while looking through them. Gunna references his expensive clothing and mentions wearing high waters and looking like a golfer. He drives foreign cars like Roll Royces and Porsche Carreras and mentions shopping at Barney's. Gunna flexes further by referring to a time when he didn't have money but now he's blowing through his cash. The song ends with several repetitions of the chorus.
