Trap Door
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went over to her house on Sunday morning
Her moms had just gone to church

Drive slow homie, drive slow
Drive slow homie, drive slow
Drive slow homie, drive slow
Shit, my eyes low
It's only one way this can work out
Drop down, I'mma give you twenty if you scurred out
You scurred now, call me the drill sergeant
Charge in the apartment like a charger compartment
I'm in the walls now, I'm wired up
So now the higher up is trying to quiet us, uh
Smoking on land, lord I light it up
Just gettin fired up, now she coming like a fire truck
She threw the towel in, score for me oh for she
Cause she keep howlin' we showdown like shaolin
Slow down for an hour then, sink it deep into the shallow end
How you like beef girl? Keep swallowing
Your food, I'm following your mood and it's blue and me too
But I can't lie like I blew this green on you
I blew it on the purple fume and I know I read your mind, right
You're bright, you want green of all types like limelight
Balance is the kiwi fused in the tunes
Third eye sight, she rodent the car with three blind mice
They chase cheese and don't think twice
And for that, some niggas in the cut get sliced, she looking back
Now, cause she ain't met a nigga as real in the back
Down as shack she throw it back for that, willingly
She hope I catch children
But the mag sheilding, in other words I wrap feelings

Yeah Joey that cat killin', villain
I capture the cat in the trap, a door she sealing
From sicilians to Miss Millins, to miss missin'





I keep it lit till I'm burnt out
Could tell a chick bye look at how she turned out

I went over to her house on Sunday morning
I visited her on a Sunday morning


Her moms had just gone to church
Her mother had just left for church


Drive slow homie, drive slow
Drive slowly, my friend


Shit, my eyes low
My eyes are bloodshot


It's only one way this can work out
There is only one way for this to go


Drop down, I'mma give you twenty if you scurred out
If you are scared, drop and give me twenty push-ups


You scurred now, call me the drill sergeant
You are scared now, refer to me as your drill sergeant


Charge in the apartment like a charger compartment
Enter the apartment quickly


I'm in the walls now, I'm wired up
I am now in the apartment's walls, and I am listening


So now the higher up is trying to quiet us, uh
Now the authorities are trying to silence us


Smoking on land, lord I light it up
I am smoking, and I have lit the joint


Just gettin fired up, now she coming like a fire truck
I am getting excited, and now she is coming toward me quickly


She threw the towel in, score for me oh for she
She has given up, and I have won


Cause she keep howlin' we showdown like shaolin
She keeps making noise, and we are arguing like Shaolin monks


Slow down for an hour then, sink it deep into the shallow end
Let's slow down for an hour and talk about this


How you like beef girl? Keep swallowing

Your food, I'm following your mood and it's blue and me too

I blew it on the purple fume and I know I read your mind, right
I spent it on marijuana, and I know what you are thinking


You're bright, you want green of all types like limelight
You are smart, and you want money and attention


Balance is the kiwi fused in the tunes
The balance is like a kiwi fruit in the music


Third eye sight, she rodent the car with three blind mice
She has intuition and can see what others cannot, and she is in the car with people who are unaware of their surroundings


They chase cheese and don't think twice
They go after things without considering the consequences


And for that, some niggas in the cut get sliced, she looking back
For that reason, some people get hurt, and she is looking back


Now, cause she ain't met a nigga as real in the back
She is now looking back because she has not met someone as genuine as me


Down as shack she throw it back for that, willingly
She is willing to return and have sex with me again


She hope I catch children
She hopes to get pregnant from me


But the mag sheilding, in other words I wrap feelings
But I am protecting myself from emotional attachment


Yeah Joey that cat killin', villain
Yes, I am a ruthless and cunning person


I capture the cat in the trap, a door she sealing
I trap women with my charm, and they cannot escape


From sicilians to Miss Millins, to miss missin'
From Italian women to wealthy women to those who are just missing


I keep it lit till I'm burnt out
I keep going until I am exhausted


Could tell a chick bye look at how she turned out
I can predict how women will end up after being with me
