The melodic, but slightly metallic beat, mixed with a classic trap kick-clap alternation, makes this track a must-hear crossover icon of a genre not very widespread at the time, the rap-rock.
Tracyโs verses, following a classic trap-sounding rhythmic layout, contrast with the unusual 2-syllable flow sung by Peep in the chorus. This rocker-like flow, very uncommon in rap, is very similar to the one of โโblink-182โs banger named โAll the Small Things,โ released in the early 2000s.
The instrumental samples โThe Real Youโ by Three Days Grace.

LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ooh, Bi-Bighead on the beat)
Switchblades, cocaine
GothBoiClique, make a ho shake
Black fur, black coat
GothBoiClique in the back, ho
Switchblades, cocaine
GothBoiClique, 'til my soul take
Black jeans, half black hoes
GothBoiClique in the castle
In high school I was a loner
I was a reject, I was a poser
Multiple personalities, I'm bipolar
I swear, I mean well, I'm still goin' to hell
Witchcraft, love chants
Whisper in my ear, put me in a trance
Cocaine, all night long
When I die, bury me with all my ice on
Witchcraft, love chants
Whisper in my ear, put me in a trance
Cocaine, all night long
When I die, bury me with all my ice on
When I die, bury me with all my ice on
When I die, bury me without the lights on
Lights off, nightlights
Clothes off, baby, I got good white
When I die, bury me with all my ice on
When I die, bury me without the lights on
Lights off, nightlights
Clothes off, baby, I got good white
Clothes off, baby, I got good white
Tell me a secret and I'll tell one of mines
I just wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
Ask me if I'm alright, do you want me to lie?
Switchblades, cocaine
GothBoiClique, make a ho shake
Black fur, black coat
GothBoiClique in the back, ho
Switchblades, cocaine
GothBoiClique, 'til my soul take
Black jeans, half black hoes
GothBoiClique in the castle
