Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The yola's just gone up to forty-four
Fuck that, I ain't buyin' no Rolex (we're trappin')
Don't come to the hood with your skeleton
With no Remington, you gon' end up boneless
Produce my flick knife and get some adrenaline
Any melanin can get left soakin'
There's no settlin' when the mandem approach him (lagga)
The yola's just gone up to forty-four
Fuck that, I ain't buyin' no Rolex (we're trappin')
Don't come to the hood with your skeleton
With no Remington, you gon' end up boneless
Produce my flick knife and get some adrenaline
Any melanin can get left soakin'
Catch him bae'd up, no blade, with his feminine
There's no settlin' when the mandem approach him (lagga)
Them there man just young and dumb
Told bro if I ever make P from music
Then I gotta at least spend a hundred on guns (baow)
Everyone thinks this beef ting's fun
'Til man shoot up their house and it licks their mum
Couple times man had to bail out and run
Woulda got more rating's if I got bun
Who's the reason big man can't come to the zone?
I got my feet up, I just answer the phone
Nowadays when I go on a glide
Tell him log in my Snap' and act like I'm home
I told Steven to go cat searchin'
Come back with some numbers, I'll pass him a stone
Came out of jail broke, quick baller of both
Class that as a loan (lagga)

The yola's just gone up to forty-four
Fuck that, I ain't buyin' no Rolex (we're trappin')
Don't come to the hood with your skeleton

Produce my flick knife and get some adrenaline
Any melanin can get left soakin'
Catch him bae'd up, no blade, with his feminine
There's no settlin' when the mandem approach him (lagga)
The yola's just gone up to forty-four
Fuck that, I ain't buyin' no Rolex (we're trappin')
Don't come to the hood with your skeleton
With no Remington, you gon' end up boneless
Produce my flick knife and get some adrenaline
Any melanin can get left soakin'
Catch him bae'd up, no blade, with his feminine
There's no settlin' when the mandem approach him (lagga)
Dutch said the suitcase ting's warm
Man can just send it through DPD (send it)
I didn't take my CBT
This fifty-two plate how I feed these fiends
Had my kitchen tucked from early, dem times dances on DVD
My workers been workin' for so long
When I'm hands on cats can't believe it's me
And I ain't met half of the phone
My soldier knows the whole spot better than me
User said can I get some heroin please
Told him to inject but he never did bleed
I swear that was the federals, G
Got like two bags cash and twenty-eight G's
I'm through the backdoor if they enter this piece
Might have to dash food and separate P's (dash 'em)
The yola's just gone up to forty-four
Fuck that, I ain't buyin' no Rolex (we're trappin')
Don't come to the hood with your skeleton
With no Remington, you gon' end up boneless

The song "Adrenaline" by M.I.A. & A. R. Rahman is a rap song that describes the life of a person involved in drug dealing and street gangs. The lyrics talk about the increased prices of yola (cocaine), and how the singer will not be buying any Rolex watches because they need to focus on trapping (dealing). The lyrics then warn people not to come to their neighborhood with no guns because they will end up boneless. The singer talks about taking out their flick knife and getting adrenaline when they approach people in the streets. They do not settle when they approach people and catch them off guard with no blade.
The lyrics also talk about the singer’s experiences in the drug-dealing world. They mention how they had to bail out and run a couple of times when things got hot. They feel bad that the beef ting (beefing or fighting) is considered fun for everyone until man shoots up their house and licks their mom. They talk about having to spend money on guns if they ever make P from music (profit). They share their experiences of dealing with users and being cautious while carrying around heroin. The song mainly revolves around the rough and dangerous life of drug dealing and dealing with street gangs.
