Zaytoven
Ha, its wizop
6ers
(1600, 1600 1600)
(1600, 1600 1600)
Stand up
(1600, 1600 1600)
Huh, huh

It's so hard to take the trap out a trap nigga
I'm a coke dealer dressed like a rap figure
A Guy Fisher type of nigga, I'ma die richer
Posing for pictures with the strippers and the pot flippers
I'd rather lie to ya baby then I lie with ya
I seen you with his shit, I ain't finna ride with ya
Pitching underhand I'm a knuckle ball pitcher
You off base I call you out, I'm the hind catcher
You ran off, guess you thought it'd be a cakewalk
Stealing base, got caught, let the K talk
Got me digging in my safe at the safe house
Like I won't pay a 100k to blow ya face off

The young nigga stay fresh
I can show him how to flex
Another nigga with a check
And I can teach him how to dress
The young nigga stay fresh
And I can show him how to flex
Another nigga with a check
(And I can show him how to dress, what)

Okay you know I stay fly, yeah you stay level
Red Gucci leather, yeah Raf Simons sweater
Yeah got rid of my girl, got a foreign with a accent that's better
Yeah I just had both of them and they came together
Yeah in the strip club with my nigga big Guwop, and Wop we just changed the weather
Somebody grab my sweater, 'cause I just changed the weather
Yeah we make it rain together, we make it rain together
All of my diamonds VS's, so you know that mean they connected
I told that girl just to bust it, bust it bust it
The first time she met me
I told that girl just to neck it neck it neck it
Yeah young nigga hustle put diamonds in necklace
Yeah flexing, finessing that's all in my vessels

The young nigga stay fresh
I can show him how to flex
Another nigga with a check
And I can teach him how to dress
The young nigga stay fresh
And I can show him how to flex

Another nigga with a check
(And I can show him how to dress, what)

Overall Meaning

The song "Fresh" by Lil Uzi Vert and Gucci Mane opens with an introduction from the producer, Zaytoven, who announces that the song is for "the 6ers," a possible reference to the NBA team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Gucci Mane begins his verse by stating that it is difficult to leave behind his trap lifestyle, but he aspires to die rich. He compares himself to Guy Fisher, a known drug lord of the 1970s. He refers to his association with strippers, and drug dealers with whom he takes pictures. He explains that he would rather lie to someone than lie with them, and he has no loyalty to a person who is not loyal to him. He switches from a drug reference to a baseball reference, using the terminology of the game to say that he keeps his eyes on the prize and anyone who hinders him will receive consequences.

Lil Uzi Vert's verse begins with him saying that he can teach a younger individual how to "flex" and maintain their freshness, and he has the means to financially support that lifestyle. He lists brands of upscale clothing and accessories that are popular in the rap scene, such as Gucci and Raf Simons. He boasts about having multiple women at his disposal and being able to satisfy them physically. He and Gucci Mane frequent strip clubs and make it rain money. Their wealth is evident in their jewelry, and Lil Uzi Vert claims that he has worked hard for the ability to wear such items.
