Big Wheels
Kevin Abstract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart rate don't stop, you
Might as well call the cops, fame
Turned a nigga to a opp, I
Been down so low, seen the floor
Turn both doors into echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes
My niggas ain't see no more cash
I got rich way too fast
I didn't even finish college, nigga
Got a lot of guilt inside of me
My niggas back home ain't proud of me
They think I'm a bitch just queerbaiting
Quit being a bitch and quit hating
Y'all pump faking, I'm a power bottom
Like a Free Mason, y'all stuck playing
That's complacent, I'm cum chasing
My niggas back home got fundraisers
So self-centered, I'm amazing
Took a nigga years, got dumb patience
Dumb dumb parents who I been saying
Should've shook them niggas off like some dumb braces
Running from nothing, in a hunnid or something
Tell my baby I want him to keep me up when we fussing
Under the sheets where we touching
I keep his work just to function, I can't hear him or nothing
Further, my nigga, we jumping
The lyrics of Kevin Abstract's song "Big Wheels" are reflective of the rapper's experience with fame and success. The opening lines of the song "Big wheels on top, my heart rate don't stop, you might as well call the cops, fame turned a nigga to a opp" highlights how his success has brought both material success and notoriety, turning him into something he's not. He then goes on to talk about the guilt he feels for his success and how it has further alienated him from his friends back home who aren't proud of him. This is evident in the line "my niggas ain't see no more cash, I got rich way too fast, my mama still works at Sonic, nigga, I didn't even finish college, nigga."
He also talks about feeling like he's just using his sexuality to gain attention in the industry. He addresses accusations of queerbaiting, which is when an artist feigns interest in the same gender to gain attention. He dismisses these claims and asserts his identity, stating "y'all pump faking, I'm a power bottom like a Free Mason, y'all stuck playing, that's complacent, I'm cum chasing." He then talks about how he's been patient in his journey to success, but still struggles with the expectations of his parents who he feels have been a hindrance rather than a help. He ultimately seems to be running from himself and his guilt, caught up in the never-ending cycle of fame and success.
