Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some, ay
(Grabba, grabba, grabba, ay)
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
(Grabba, grabba, grabba, grabba, grabba)
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
(Grabba, grabba, grabba, grabba)
Sprinkle some, sprinkle, sprinkle some
Sprinkle some, uh, sprinkle, sprinkle some (Uh, uh)

Sprinkle some, I'm smoking 'til my lungs collapse
My thoughts just be a bummer, can't get through the summer sad (Nah)
Need a re-up, I'ma get some of my brother's pack (Uh huh)
You tried to fake it like it's love but trust, it wasn't that
This shit too much to hold, I'm glad I found another bag
A lot of niggas want it, end up in the money's hands (Hands)
I know this life I live just wasn't what my mother planned
But she still understand, I've grown into a lovely man (Yup)
These niggas insecure, I'm sorry I can't comfort them
Was spitting literature but back then I was stuttering
I almost dropped my pen, the damage from this London trip

With the grabba, that's the only way I tuck the spliff
I just be catching what they losing off the dumbest shit
(Uh, uh, uh) What I done to them?
With the grabba, that's the only way I tuck the spliff
I just be catching what they losing off the dumbest shit
(Uh, ay) What I done with it?

Uh, the only way I tuck the spliff
Sprinkle, sprinkle some, uh, sprinkle some
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some (Uh, uh, uh)
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
(Yeah, grabba, grabba, grabba)
Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
(Ay, grabba, grabba, grabba, grabba, grabba)




Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some
(Grabba, grabba, grabba, grab-)

Overall Meaning

In Mike's song Grabba, he opens with the repetitive line "Sprinkle some, ay, sprinkle, sprinkle some," which refers to adding grabba, a type of tobacco, to his joint. Mike talks about his struggles with depression and needing something to alleviate the sadness. He mentions smoking grabba until his lungs collapse and needing a "re-up" from his brother's pack. He states that some people try to pass off fake love, but he sees through it.


Mike then touches on the competition for grabba, with many people wanting it but only ending up in the money's hands. He reflects on how his current lifestyle was not something his mother had planned for him, but she still supports him. He acknowledges his own growth as a man and how some people are insecure around him. He then references his past struggles with stuttering while writing music, but now he's catching what others are losing off "the dumbest shit." Essentially, he's finding his inspiration and winning while others are losing.


Overall, the song's theme centers around using a specific method for self-medication and coping with depression while dealing with competition and recognizing his own growth.
