Mt. Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We got AK's and Glocks
Shooter gone up that chop
I wasn't on that block
But I still hate them cops
My cup be red and blue
My cup be purple too
Diamonds they got the flu
My hood is like a zoo
Bro told me stay off the block cuz that shit it get hot and it just wasn't in me
Now that they crew getting hot bitches be on my cock and these Niggas they envy
I do not want catch a body I will so don't none you lil Niggas tempt me
They know I be on my own I be deep in my zone Nigga I am not friendly
They know I be on my own I be deep in my zone Nigga I am not friendly
Red and blue lights they be flashing in my hood whenever I see them a horror scene
Red and blue lights they be flashing in my hood whenever I see them a horror scene
My Shooter come threw and his chopper singing but no it ain't signing no R&B
My Shooter come threw and his chopper singing but no it ain't signing no R&B
We got AK's and Glocks
Shooter went up that chop
I wasn't on that block
But I still hate them cops
My cup be red and blue
My cup be purple too
Diamonds they got the flu
My hood is like a zoo
Knew I wasn't meant for the block I'm in love with the stu I might marry the booth
I don't give a fuck about love cuz I cheat on my bitch and she don't have a clue
And I'm bout the money so I'm seeing red if that boy try and play wit my blues
Nigga up on the block and that boy he got popped and now that Nigga all on the news

If you live by the gun you gone die by the gun and to die man that shit I refuse
Niggas coming in last we been coming in first cuz you know MTS we don't lose
Cuz you know MTS we don't lose
Cuz you know MTS we don't lose
We got AK's and Glocks
Shooter gone up that chop
I wasn't on that block
But I still hate them cops
My cup be red and blue
My cup be purple too
Diamonds they got the flu
My hood is like a zoo
Bro told me stay off the block cuz that shit it get hot and it just wasn't in me
Now that they crew getting hot bitches be on my cock and these Niggas they envy
Don't none of you tempt me




Yeah I be on my own
Yeah I be on my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mt. Wolf's song Red convey a story of life on the streets and the theme of gang violence. The song begins with references to weapons, as the singer talks about AKs and Glocks while a shooter goes up that chop, possibly a reference to a drive-by shooting. The singer emphasizes that while he wasn't on that block, he still hates the cops because of the way they treat people in the neighborhood. He mentions his cup being red and blue, which could symbolize gang affiliations, as well as diamonds that have the flu, which could be a reference to the way people in the community are affected by violence.


The next verse highlights the singer's distance from the violence on the streets. He talks about his friend warning him to stay off the block because it just wasn't in him, but now that the crew is getting hot, women are interested in him, and other men are envious. He asserts that he doesn't want to catch a body (commit murder), but he will if he needs to. The chorus repeats these themes with references to the horror of flashing police lights and the singer's association with the shooter who isn't singing R&B.


The final verse talks more about the singer's priorities. He loves music and is in love with the studio, suggesting that he wants to make something of himself outside of the dangerous streets. He doesn't care about love and cheats on his partner, and he is all about the money. If someone tries to cross him, he will see red, and if they die because of their actions, he won't feel sympathy. He emphasizes that he doesn't want to die by the gun and that his crew always comes in first because they don't lose. The song ends with the singer repeating that he is on his own.


Overall, the lyrics of Red paint a picture of a violent world in which people feel they have no choice but to pick sides and use guns to protect themselves. The singer acknowledges the danger and the horror of the situation, but he also seems to embrace it to some extent, suggesting that he enjoys the attention and the power that come with being associated with a gang.

close this wound
alight my bones
fall back in
hide your sin

I'm going away for a long time
I'm going away for a long time

bring the night
day comes too soon
dark its embrace
scatters all trace

I'm going away for a long time
I'm going away for a long time

close this wound
alight my bones
fall back in
hide your sin

I'm going away for a long time
I'm going away for a long time
