Kdence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I do not play round with my chips
Fuck your shit, check you off the list
Y'all don't even be around in the VIP
Told my old hun look I got a new one
Why you looking over here?
Ain't gon do nothing
Had to hit the switch, I was tryna do something
We don't talk alot, fuck out here
Heard you talking to the law
And it's clear that my niggas on the top
Chandeliers, Alizé up on the rocks
They know it's me , I got on the gold frames
I don't keep the peace I don't play
I just play for keeps you might say
Mama knows I learn the hard way
Round these parts you gotta keep a stick
I do not play round with my chips
Fuck your shit, check you off the list
Y'all don't even be around in the VIP
In Kdence's song V.I.P, the lyrics portray a sense of power, authority and dominance among a group of people. The opening line "Round these parts you gotta keep a stick" refers to the need to carry a weapon in order to protect oneself. This line sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics as it hints at the dangerous and competitive environment that the artist is living in.
The following lines "I do not play round with my chips, Fuck your shit, check you off the list" indicate that there is a level of ruthlessness and assertiveness required to be successful in this environment, and that the artist is not afraid to take out anyone who tries to cross him. He further asserts his superiority by stating "Y'all don't even be around in the VIP", suggesting that certain individuals are not deemed worthy enough to be in his presence.
The second verse hints at the artist's romantic and sexual life, as he mentions a new partner and his old one looking over at him, suggesting that he may have moved on from his previous relationship. The lines "And she love when I ride with that cruise on, Had to hit the switch, I was tryna do something" indicate that he is able to indulge in luxury and fast living due to his success and wealth.
Overall, Kdence's lyrics in V.I.P suggest an understanding of the need to be tough and assertive in order to succeed in a difficult environment, while also hinting at the rewards that come with that success.
