Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got them pills on me
Got a bag for them xans
I call Kaydoo, he gon slide in that van
I’m off them drugs, I forgot who I am
Hey you
I forgot who you are, I got them xans on me
I was popping them bars
In the parking garage
These niggas just sent the location
Boy we know where you are
I i slide in dashiki, like don’t be a menace
I got an Ar, the clip as long as my pistol
That nigga not killing, he rap on Spinrilla
We put a red dot on his head like he Hindu
I grab the Ar, he gon fall like
Got lean in my system
I’m pissing some crystals
Man down put your man on
I skipped school, had a in my locker
You not a plug, you a shopper
I walk down and i’m shooting like
Red tips in the Glock like a lobster
I’m a trap nigga, my ettiquite proper
Slide with a 9 on us, Tony Parker
Ima backdoor your man no Nautica parka
Gucci flips we ain’t wearing no Nautical
Plug with my don’t know why you lauging
I’m in the trap nigga everyday, yes I am
I got them pills on me
Got a bag for them xans
I call Kaydoo, he gon slide in that van
I’m off them drugs, I forgot who I am
Hey you
I forgot who you are, I got them xans on me
I was popping them bars
Trap one way we got zips
In the parking garage
These niggas just sent the location
Boy we know where you are

This implies a potential violent act or confrontation, possibly for protection or settling a dispute within the streets.

He mentions skipping school and having a gun in his locker, suggesting a lack of regard for education and a preference for the street lifestyle.
