Gang Signs
Lil Baby Lyrics

If you niggas ain't scared, throw yo sets (throw-throw 'em up)
Show your allegiance to your gang by representing your set without fear

If you niggas (throw 'em up, let me see)
Show me your gang sign to prove your loyalty

First of all, you know I bang 4's (4)
I am a member of the 4PF gang

Never met JAY-Z, but in my hood I'm like Hov (Roc)
I am respected in my neighborhood just like Jay-Z (Roc-A-Fella Records)

Everyday a holiday, my lifestyle goals (goals)
My life is so luxurious and exciting that every day is like a holiday for me

Everything right in rose, I don't really like gold (nah)
I prefer rose gold to regular gold for my jewelry

Came through in the Maserati (skrrt), knew I was gon' get it poppin'
I arrived in a Maserati and was confident that something exciting would happen

Serve a nigga in every hood, Baby good with everybody (good)
I have connections and respect in multiple neighborhoods and get along with everyone

With no understanding, I ain't planyin', let's get it clarified
If there is any confusion or misunderstanding, let's clear it up right away

I just spent a hunnid on a chain and didn't care about it
I recently spent $100,000 on a chain and was not too concerned about it

Try me, they gon' hear about it, make a call to every side
If someone tries to test me, my reputation will have people on every side talking about it

Drop a bag and air 'em out, get the drop on every house
If anyone crosses me, I have the resources to go after them and their associates

Nah, I'm really playin', I'm just sayin', I don't play at all
I may sound like I'm joking, but in reality I am serious and do not mess around

I been in the field for so long, but I ain't playin' ball
I have been in the game for a long time, but I am not playing around or wasting time

Choppa chop his hand off, found the plug and ran off
If someone crosses me or tries to cheat me, I am willing to use violence and cut off their access to their source of income

Think I need a agent the way I play it, call up Rich Paul
My business acumen is so sharp that I could potentially be a successful agent for other athletes (referencing Rich Paul, LeBron James' agent)

Never fold and never forget the code, you better stand tall
I will never betray my gang and the values we stand for, you need to remain strong and loyal as well

I done put them bags from Gresham Road to West End Mall
I have made money and sold drugs in multiple neighborhoods in Atlanta (Gresham Road and West End Mall)

Try and knock your mans off, I know it's too much tension (throw-throw 'em up)
If someone tries to harm one of my associates, it will lead to too much conflict and tension

With you bitches
In the context of the song, this line likely refers to Lil Baby being with multiple women

Niggas better stick to rappin' 'fore I click and get to trippin' (throw-throw 'em up)
I am warning other rappers to stick to music and not to cross me or I may retaliate violently

I got double-digit millions, and I still be with the killers (throw 'em up)
Despite being extremely wealthy, I still associate with gang members and people who are capable of violence

Boy, I gotta be the realest livin', can I get a witness? (Amen) (throw-throw 'em up)
I am asking for confirmation from others that I am the realest (most authentic) person they know

Nobody ain't stressin' on my side (nah)
Nobody on my team is worried or stressed about anything

4PF the gang and niggas know how we gon' ride
My gang 4PF is known for being loyal and riding (going to battle) for our cause

Couple choppas, couple stolen cars, it's time to slide
We have a few guns and stolen cars, so it's time to get going and do some illegal activities

I hope the cameras don't catch the tag, and if they do, we'll be alright
I am hoping we don't get caught doing anything illegal on camera, but even if we do, we will be able to handle it

Where you from? How you come? Yeah, yeah (going dumb)
Asking where someone is from and what their status is, possibly while under the influence of drugs (going dumb)

Throw it up, let me see
Asking someone to show their gang sign to prove their loyalty

I got 'em jockin', watchin', pockets always sloppy
I have people copying me and paying close attention to my every move, often leading to them being sloppy with their money

Be with papi, play, he pop your noggin, better play with caution
If you hang out with the wrong people, they may hurt you or worse, be cautious when making friends

I'm the same one who used to sell the weed then went to Washington
I used to sell drugs (weed) and now I am living a successful life (possibly referencing Washington D.C.)

Who you know that went to prison, came back home and straight pocketed?
I am proud of the fact that I went to prison but turned my life around and am now successful and wealthy

We ain't whippin' shit, straight droppin' it
We are not cooking drugs (whipping) but rather just selling them (dropping)

Let 'em keep the extras, we on top of it at this point
We are so successful at selling drugs that we don't even care about the small amount of extra product, as we are already profiting enough

I done ran my money long as Lee Street through East Point
I have made a lot of money, a distance that is as long as Lee Street through East Point in Atlanta

Supercharge my motor for the pig, hit it, oink-oink, yeah
I have modified my car and am ready to speed away from the police (pigs), mocking them with the sound of oink-oink

Runnin' up the paper like I never woulda thought of (throw-throw 'em up)
I am making a lot of money, something I never thought was possible before joining this gang

Make sure everybody eat 'cause that's the way that I was brought up (throw-throw 'em up)
I was raised to make sure everyone around me is taken care of and well-fed, and I continue to live that way

4's in this bitch (throw 'em up), I'm talkin' really, really rich (throw 'em up)
4PF is present and strong here, and I am very wealthy

I got my young niggas rich, they probably fuckin' on your daughter (Baby)
I have made my young associates wealthy and successful, they may even be sleeping with your daughter
