Carrying the banner for both the north and the south sides due to his upbringing, Lungz represents a new vangaurd of young, capable Chicago lyricists who not only deliver intricate rhymes but infuse them with the street ambience and real life authenticity to create an audience packed with both backpackers and thugs. Lungz speaks intensely regarding what he has created; βThis is powerful, emotional music for all occasions. I want you to be able to put this on when you are driving down lakeshore drive in the summer with the top down and a cup of somethingβ.
Immersing himself in such legendary musical influences as Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Pharcyde, ATCQ, Al Green, and Curtis Mayfield; Lungz has been able to successfully transition from being just a respected battle/freestyle rapper to an artist capable of crafting songs utilizing a wide range of cadences and rhyme structures.
Lungz acknowledges his now infamous βMy Townβ which created a fervor after Chicago Rocks 2007 as being not a defining apex; but only one of many more anthems to come. He refuses to allow himself to be characterized by only one song, when there are others that he feels challenged him more to create such as βPowerful Musicβ and βIncredibleβ, and therefore have more significance to him as a demonstration of what to expect in the future.
Recognizing and embracing his growth from a youth to a young man, Lungz is giving his breakout album the appropriately title βTransitionβ, which represents him leaving βall the dumb shitβ behind and evolving into a complete artist. Lungz wants you to experience his life through his lyrics, and not the fantasy world so often portrayed in rap.
With The Flight School mixtape already available, Lungz is poised to release his first full-length album βTransitionβ in 2008, as well as "A Breathe Of Fresh Air" as a supplementary mixtape. βTransitionβ will feature mic comrades Swift, Soze, IMAM T.H.U.G., and YG with Panik (Molemen), Swift, and Q-Hefna handling production.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They know they go
They go, I'd be like
Well hello, hello
Yeah, I squeeze man,
You know they all going baby
Uh, yeah
She a 8 you a 10
On my team you could win
Hit the sweet now we back
Don't do that what she said
She don't usually do this
Listen here, look me bro
I don't judge, we just fuck
We do us and she win
Nigger said that she won't and she did
And she gone
In my home and we bump
Till the morning holding on
That's the show when we roll up
Again fuck again here we go
Same old shit I call the protocol
You don't think I know but I know you, I know you go
I'll be on it, I swear I'll be on it
That liquor get to pouring now we living in the moment
Took a taxi to the venue I ain't even riding foreign
Look I shot different I got two different Rollies
What's the time difference, new spots same attention
These bitches want attention, by the way have we met
I know she got a man, why is she all in my crib?
They go, they go, they go, they go
And I know she got some brands so when I spit some bandz
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't
Niggers lying to they friends talk about they do it big
They don't, they don't, they don't, they don't
Do it slow talk about how I love
I'll be fresh had to talk to
And I go and they know
They know how it go
Got a few on a team
Baddest bitches in the scene
Niggers mad cause they chose
You know that I'm the man

I ain't never spit no bandz
Only get what you present
Now she all up in my crib
A record of past 6
And she can't even get the stick
When I hear I never met
Go ahead and spend that bread
To me you're not a player
To her you're just a friend
When I'm done you drop her off
Imam go ahead and pour the smackers off
I do this shit for real
Swear to God if they don't make it up
Even if you think I did
You think I really give a fuck?
Plenty other bitches in the lobby tell them send them up
You the type to turn'em off
I'm the type to turn them up
Fades going down see your life has no concern with us
I just killed a pussy I'm a motherfucker murderer
I just killed a pussy I'm a motherfucker murderer
Now I know she got a man, why is she all in my crib?
They go, they go, they go, they go
And I know she got some brands so when I spit some bandz
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't
Niggers lying to they friends talk about they do it big
They don't, they don't, they don't, they don't
Do it slow talk about how I love
I'll be fresh had to talk to
And I go and they know
The lyrics of "They Go" by Lungz are about a man who is aware of the fact that women are attracted to the lifestyle he leads, as well as his material possessions. He details the scenarios in which he encounters these women, who know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it. The chorus portrays how he understands that these women will always be around and that he is fully aware of what they want from him. The hook "I know they go" repeats throughout the song to emphasize that he knows what's going on, and he's not simple-minded.
There is a tone of confidence and dominance in the lyrics, and the artist's ability to attract women and fulfill their desires is highlighted. It is a braggadocious track that centers around flexing his ability to get women and the material wealth he has attained. The lyrics come off as a bit misogynistic with the objectification of women and their value to him being based on their looks and willingness to have sex with him.
Overall, "They Go" by Lungz is a typical hip hop track that glorifies the rapper's lifestyle and emphasizes his dominion over women. Though the lyrics can be problematic, the song's message is clear and is intended to ensure the audience that the rapper is sexually desirable and in control.
