Overall Meaning

The song Swerve by Lil Boosie and Webbie is a rap song that talks about swerving while driving. The chorus repeats the phrase swerve right and left, which refers to the act of the driver swerving his car from one side to the other. The song's verses revolve around the reasons that provoke the artists to swerve their cars, which are often drugs or money-related. Lil Boosie, in the first verse, talks about the importance of keeping his gun close while he swerves and how he learned to do it back in the day when he had to avoid confrontations with other gangs. He emphasizes that people hate him because he's successful and makes money, so he swerves to avoid them. In the second verse, Webbie adds to the reasons to swerve: he's with a girl, he's high on weed, his car has a good sound system, and he wants to impress his friends. He also mentions that he's doing it for his friends in jail, and then he proceeds to shout out different neighborhoods in Baton Rouge where people swerve their cars.


The song's title refers to the slang term "swerve" that means avoiding the police or any other potential trouble. The song's lyrics describe an attitude of rebellion, lawlessness, and disregard for other people's safety. Swerving is a dangerous activity that can cause accidents and fatalities. However, in the context of the song, swerving is celebrated and seen as a macho move that impresses women and intimidates other men. The song's message can be interpreted as a call for people to embrace their street credibility and to challenge authority, even if it means breaking the law or putting innocent people's lives at risk.
