Track Meet
J-swae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Let's-a-go
Got the choppers in the back seat
I'm runnin' niggas like a track meet
Never lackin' bitch, I got heat
Bitch, I stay ballin' like an athlete
Man, these niggas play but don't test me
I'll fuck your friend and your bestie
My pocket's full and yours empty
Thought she was the one, but she left me
Drinkin' lean, call me purple rain
I'll fuck your bitch after runnin' train
Bitch, I'm always different, no, I'm not the same
These niggas playin', but this ain't a game
While I stay cookin' up the pot
You stay, I was fuckin' with the opp
And you know I can't cuff a thot
But I will drop a nigga top
Bitch, you not ready, you'd have enough
Don't you test a nigga when the glizzy tucked
Have to show these niggas how I run it up
Call the squad up, tell 'em "Pick me up"
Like Trey Songz, but the slow mo
I'm kickin' niggas like a dojo
Aye bro, what's good?
I told a nigga, had to tell him so
Once he saw me with that nine
Man, he knew that he was about to die
But he should've run to be alive
I saw 12 pullin' on the side
They said, "J Swae, say goodbye"
I said, "Fuck 12, fuck your whole squad"
Had the chopper kiss your ass goodnight
Got the choppers in the back seat
I'm runnin' niggas like a track meet
Never lackin' bitch, I got heat
Bitch, I stay ballin' like an athlete
Man, these niggas play but don't test me
I'll fuck your friend and your bestie
My pocket's full and yours empty
Thought she was the one, but she left me
Drinkin' lean, call me purple rain

Got the choppers in the back seat
I have guns in the back seat of my car
I'm runnin' niggas like a track meet
I am outsmarting and beating my competition like in a track and field race
Never lackin' bitch, I got heat
I am always ready and prepared with heat (guns) should I need them
Bitch, I stay ballin' like an athlete
I am always hustling and succeeding like a professional athlete
Man, these niggas play but don't test me
These men are pretending and are not to be underestimated
I'll fuck your friend and your bestie
I will have sex with both your friend and best friend
My pocket's full and yours empty
I have money and you do not
Thought she was the one, but she left me
I believed she was the right woman for me, but she ended up leaving me
Drinkin' lean, call me purple rain
I am drinking codeine and mixing it with promethazine to achieve the desired purple hue
I'll fuck your bitch after runnin' train
I will have sex with your girlfriend after she has sex with a group of other men
Bitch, I'm always different, no, I'm not the same
I am unique and not like others
These niggas playin', but this ain't a game
These guys are pretending, but the situation is serious and not a game
While I stay cookin' up the pot
I am working on making drugs to sell
You stay, I was fuckin' with the opp
You were staying still while I was fighting with the opposition
And you know I can't cuff a thot
I cannot commit to a promiscuous woman
But I will drop a nigga top
I will kill someone
Bitch, you not ready, you'd have enough
You are not prepared and cannot handle the situation
Don't you test a nigga when the glizzy tucked
Do not challenge me when I have my gun hidden
Have to show these niggas how I run it up
I need to prove that I am capable of achieving great success
Call the squad up, tell 'em "Pick me up"
Call my team and tell them to come get me
Like Trey Songz, but the slow mo
Like Trey Songz, I am singing in slow motion
I'm kickin' niggas like a dojo
I am fighting and defeating men in the style of martial arts
Aye bro, what's good?
Hello friend, what is happening?
I told a nigga, had to tell him so
I gave someone a message that I had to deliver
Once he saw me with that nine
When he saw me with my gun
Man, he knew that he was about to die
He realized that he was going to be killed
But he should've run to be alive
He should have tried to escape to save his life
I saw 12 pullin' on the side
I saw the police approaching
They said, "J Swae, say goodbye"
The police told me to prepare to die
I said, "Fuck 12, fuck your whole squad"
I cursed and insulted the police and their team
Had the chopper kiss your ass goodnight
I killed someone with my gun
