Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Machine Gun Kelly expresses his disdain for snitches and the police. He starts by asserting his own loyalty, claiming that he would never snitch even if it meant serving a life sentence. Despite the potential backlash, he boldly states that he couldn't have snitched even if he wanted to. He mocks the authority of the court by saying "Suck my dick your honor" and flaunts his fashionable suit, suggesting that his style and confidence are his greatest defense. He confidently proclaims that he will be free soon, as if his time in jail would only be temporary.

He then introduces the term "Taliban," which he uses metaphorically to refer to his crew or clique. He emphasizes their loyalty and dedication, contrasting them with "dirty birds" (a derogatory term) and boasting about their involvement in illegal activities, such as moving drugs. He asserts that being afraid to invest money won't lead to success, and he brags about his Porsche trucks, emphasizing his reckless behavior and propensity for destruction.

The chorus repeats the question, "Taliban, what the fuck?" as a rallying cry, expressing their collective strength and defiance. The acronym "EST" is introduced, which stands for "Every Single Tragedy" and represents Machine Gun Kelly's fan base and movement. He recognizes the loyalty and support from his fans and associates himself with the resilience and rebelliousness of the Taliban.

In the second verse, Machine Gun Kelly continues to express his disdain for snitches and his loyalty to his crew. He claims that he was a felon at a young age because he refused to cooperate with authorities and "ride on" his associates. He revels in his freedom and boasts about his sexual prowess, indicating a sense of control and power. He also references his affiliation with his brother, Jay Rock, and shows pride in his hometown, highlighting the toughness and resilience of his city.

The chorus is repeated again, with the addition of the acronym "EST," reinforcing the loyalty and strength of his movement. The last line of the song, "Fuck the police," serves as a powerful closing statement, solidifying his defiance and rejection of authority. Overall, Machine Gun Kelly uses these lyrics to express his rebelliousness, loyalty to his crew, and strong anti-snitching sentiment.
