White Tee
Myles Parrish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people be like 'You know you
don't have to be Bay Area on every song'
I was like 'alright'
Then I made this beat.
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee)
I don't even care if you don't like me. (Nope)
I go dumb in my White Tee (Aye Aye)
I go dumb in my White Tee (yee)
I go dumb in my White Tee
2018 still hyphy. (Hyphy)
Dumb in my Costco Kirkland
Going so hard I just might start Turfing
Even if you don't know the movement all
you gotta do is jump in and start moving
This might the one
This might be a go dumb anthem.
I just gotta know something
When the song came on were you dancing?
Aye yuh
Cause if that 808 hitting you know we all getting it.
We gone have to represent it Aye
Like beast mode on the sidelines
We gone have the whole stadium going 9 x 2
This is all I know
Imma take the bay area where ever I go
YBM on that thing but you already knew it
It's a function get it cracking go dumb go stupid (Ahh ahh)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee Yee)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee Yee)
I don't even care if you don't like me(Nope)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee Aye aye)
I go dumb in my White Tee. (White Tee Yee)
I go dumb in my White Tee (aye)
2018 still hyphy (Hyphy)
Aye Respect to the OGs
Mac Dre Mistah F.a.b E-40
Stayed in the studio like Young Bob told me
I betchu I'm still Hyphy when it's old me
Yuh, cause ain't a whole lot changed
Same energy running through my veins
This beat slap
This beat bang
Turn me up one time
This beat Bangerthang
If that 808 hitting
And you know we all getting
We gone have to represent it.
Yuh And ya betta be Easy
We ain't got no time for that punk Rock Beasy
Yah you know how I go
If it's cracking send the addi Imma slide fasho
Fresh White Tee got it straight out the package
Crispy
Called it pop outta the mattic (yee)
I go dumb in my White (Tee White Tee)
I go dumb in my white (Tee White Tee)
I go dumb in my White Tee Yee)
I don't even care if you don't like me (Nope)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee Aye aye)
I go dumb in my white Tee (Yee)
I go dumb in my White Tee (White Tee)
2018 still Hyphy (Hyphy)
The lyrics of Myles Parrish's song White Tee depict the artist’s confidence and personal style in the Bay Area rap scene. The opening line, "At this point I don't even care anymore," is indicative of both Parrish’s attitude as well as the persona he presents in the song. The phrase "I go dumb in my White Tee," which is repeated throughout the song, is a Bay Area slang term used to describe dancing or getting hyped up. The color of the t-shirt is important in this context because it represents a casual, laid-back look that is still associated with street culture. The phrase "2018 still hyphy" is a reference to the Bay Area hip-hop subgenre that was popular in the early 2000s and is characterized by upbeat, high-energy beats and lyrics.
Parrish shows respect to Bay Area legendary rappers such as Mac Dre, Mistah F.A.B, and E-40 in the lyrics. His influence by these OGs is apparent throughout the song, both in the chant-like repetition of "I go dumb in my White Tee" and in the reference to "turfing," a Bay Area dance style. Parrish is also proud of his YBM (Young Bay Musicians) affiliation, which he references throughout the song.
Overall, the lyrics of White Tee are a celebration of Bay Area hip-hop culture, as well as Parrish’s own sense of style and confidence.
