Medical
Lil Baby & Lil Durk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you steady screamin' out child support? You don't even support your own child
You don't support none of your niggas locked in them cages, waitin' for trial
I was always one of them niggas who the whole hood pray make it out
Don't shoot the innocent bystanders, you gon' slide, then make it count
Goin' around this bitch like you real with it, whole time, you a clown
Fuck you, if you ain't OTF or 4PF, I think out loud
Chicago hoes act like they love you, but rob you or just put you down
Friends or not, you touch one of my chains, them niggas gon' put you down
I'm safe in style, bulletproof Trackhawk cost me a hunnid-eighty thou'
My main homie, talked shit behind my back, but I was so in denial
You changed on me, same niggas with me, the same ones at my trial
All these drugs, I want medical
So high, I'm on cloud 9, I need a parachute
He think I sold his ass some mud, I sold him Theraflu
Take prescription, I need love, that's what I'm tellin' you
Medical, I need medical
I need medical, I need medical, I need medical
I need medical, I need medical, I need medical
Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me
I came up kinda hard, I hope I don't come off crazy
I read between the lines, you really bein' shady
Militant minded, whole lotta ARs, we like the Navy
Ridin' 'round town with Lil Kee in the 300 black out
I put the guys on pause, that's the only reason they back out
I signed up for the streets, not UFC, I ain't gon' tap out
They gave big bro a mandatory ten, he 'bout to max out
When he take a pic his racks out, he go in the house his strap out
He done really worked his ass off, he been at it his whole life
He'll have a book if he start writin', he don't care about excitement
He been tryin' to take his time, he done finally got it right
He's important and he think he needs drugs to keep goin'
He loves her, he loves her not, he don't be knowin'
He stay gettin' a lot of guap, he don't be showin'
He stay with a fuckin' Glock, he don't trust no one
All these drugs, I want medical
So high, I'm on cloud 9, I need a parachute
He think I sold his ass some mud, I sold him Theraflu
Take prescription, I need love, that's what I'm tellin' you
Medical, I need medical
I need medical, I need medical, I need medical
I need medical, I need medical, I need medical
All these drugs, I want medical
(All these drugs, I want medical)
So high, I'm on cloud 9, I need a parachute
He think I sold his ass some mud, I sold him Theraflu
(He think I sold his ass some mud, I sold him Theraflu)
Take prescription, I need love, that's what I'm tellin' you
I need medical, I need medical
(I need medical, I need medical)
In Lil Baby's song Medical, the lyrics explore the rapper's experiences with drugs, trust, and loyalty. The opening lines are a sharp criticism of absent fathers who don't support their own children, yet claim to be champions of child support. The lines that follow pivot to Lil Baby's own experiences navigating friend and enemy dynamics in the streets. He expresses suspicion and distrust toward those who claim to be loyal, but he ultimately stresses that his closest relationships are built on a bedrock of honesty and trust.
The chorus of the song is a refrain of "I need medical," which Lil Baby explains by saying he needs drugs to keep going. The lyrics set up a dichotomy between the highs of drugs and the instability that comes with addiction on one hand, and the dangers and violence that come with street life on the other. Lil Baby veers between these two poles, seeking refuge in drugs as a way to ward off his own demons.
Medical is a song that examines several pressing issues facing young people in today's world, from familial responsibility to addiction to loyalty. Lil Baby's lyrics paint a picture of a complicated and dangerous world, where the lines between friend and foe are blurred, and where drugs are used as a coping mechanism for life's many hardships.
