52 Bars Part 3
Lil Durk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nigga hoes always talking pillow niggas
Got some hittas runnin up that'll hit a nigga
You ain't real, you ain't never been a drilling nigga
Fuck the team nigga, I got my gang
You a ho nigga, I got your chain
Six shots if you mention my name
The opps do it cuz the police the same
These niggas giving out special things
Pour it up slow it down for the lean heads
All these niggas around me, they don't mean shit
50/50 for a check you ain't bring shit
War time back to back you ain't seen shit
L's up, free the guys, we the team bitch




OTF, 300, we the team bitch
Ray Charles on the block, ain't seen shit

Overall Meaning

Lil Durk's song "52 Bars Part 3" is an aggressive rap song in which he talks about his gang and how they will handle anyone who tries to come for them. The first line, "Nigga hoes always talking pillow niggas" talks about how people can talk a big game, but they won't actually do anything. He then mentions that he has some "hittas" that will come for anyone who crosses them. Durk asserts his credibility by saying that he is a "drilling nigga," meaning that he is not afraid to use violence when necessary.


Durk then talks about his loyalty to his gang, rather than any particular team. He claims to have taken someone's chain and threatens anyone who mentions his name. He then mentions the fact that many people are giving out "special things," likely referring to snitching or cooperating with the police. He then talks about the drug lean, which many rappers glamorize, but warns that it can be dangerous if abused.


In the last few lines, Durk shouts out his gang, referred to as "OTF" and "300," and calls for their freedom. The final line, "Ray Charles on the block, ain't seen shit," may refer to the fact that those involved in gang violence often turn a blind eye to what is going on around them in order to avoid snitching.
