Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you lay with me and we'll talk
I'm on these drugs 'till I end my life
These my blood brothers in my high
AR-15 boy, I can't fire
Yeah run it, run it up, take ya' down
Hunters they'll take you down
Yeah they'll show you that lil' fye
It get hot even when it get cold
I can shoot a nigga even when it still snow
Up this year, I ain't playin' no mo'
I was off down bad boy I had to get it on
Left a rack in the Ksubi jean
Boy they barely on
That's a fact, he a mini me
I put that nigga on
I remember I couldn't make no
Money wit' you boy
Now these nigga won't leave me alone
Racks on racks, on racks on, racks on racks
Boy that, 40 boy shit gon' shake ya' leg
She was shakin' ass, yeah (Let's go)
Racks on racks, on racks, go (Let's go)
The lyrics of "Hunters" by Izaya Tiji describe the lifestyle of a person who lives for the thrill of hunting down their enemies. In the first verse, the singer addresses a girl and asks her what she thinks she is doing. He had told her to "lay with him and we'll talk" but instead she seems to be doing something else. The singer then goes on to say that he is on drugs until the end of his life, and he considers his friends to be his blood brothers in his high. He also mentions having an AR-15, but can't fire it himself.
In the chorus, the singer talks about how the hunters will take their enemies down and show them what they are capable of. He also mentions shooters on the wall, which could be a nod to a gang or group of people that are known for their shooting abilities. The singer says that it gets hot even when it's cold, indicating that things can get intense in their line of work.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how he had to "get it on" when he was down bad. He left a lot of money in his Ksubi jeans, and barely anyone noticed. He also mentions putting someone on, who is likely a younger person that he has taken under his wing. The singer concludes with repeating the phrase "racks on racks," which refers to having a lot of money or wealth.
Overall, "Hunters" paints a picture of a person who is living a dangerous lifestyle and enjoying the rush that comes with it. The lyrics could be interpreted as a warning against getting involved in this type of lifestyle, as it could lead to serious consequences.
