Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once upon a time, there was a young man named
Hodgy Beats, OF, Super 3, Yes
[Hodgy Beats]
I live for the money so I'm present in the Green-age
Mutiny, like a turtle thats teenage
Look nice, but act ghetto without a clean face
I'm a shooter, like a computer for the internet
As if its intercourse, I'm just not in it yet
My house like a sauna, I'm always in a sweat
Every time she's in my bed, she always gettin' wet
I wouldn't cum in sex for physical intellect
Break your ass, then your back, then your neck
He's a gangsta, you ridin' with a roller
Wagon wheel, cabbage patchy, pushing a stroller
Don't show holsters, unless he pullin' the toasters
Is that fish dead? Oh yes, he's a floater
Full of holes and I stay in rooms, full of hoes
Got Tyler lien to them all like Pinocchio, grow a nose
[Tyler]
Once upon a time, there was a boy that could rap
Rap, rap, let me talk my crap
(Go to sleep, Hodgy Beats)
The lyrics to Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All's song "Laxin" tell the story of two rappers, Hodgy Beats and Tyler, discussing their daily lives and their experiences with women. The first verse, delivered by Hodgy Beats, begins with him stating that he lives for money, using the term "Green-age" to refer to wealth. He describes himself as a mutineer, like a teenage turtle, implying that he rebels against authority or tradition, but also acknowledging his youthfulness. Hodgy Beats portrays himself as someone who looks good, but has a rough exterior or "ghetto" qualities. He compares himself to Dwayne Wade, a famous basketball player, suggesting that he is an MVP, a valuable player in his own right. Later in the verse, Hodgy Beats describes his prowess with women, stating that they always become aroused in his presence. He also hints at his intelligence by saying he wouldn't "cum in sex for physical intellect," meaning he wouldn't let his physical desires cloud his judgment. Hodgy Beats ends the verse with a violent threat, using imagery of breaking body parts.
The second verse is delivered by Tyler, who begins with the line "Once upon a time, there was a boy that could rap." Here, he references the traditional fairy tale opening, but twists it, highlighting his ability as a rapper. Tyler describes himself as talking "crap," implying that what he says might not be entirely true or meaningful. He tells Hodgy Beats to go to sleep so that he can have the spotlight. Tyler's lyrics are full of word games and imagery, suggesting that he is clever and skilled at rhyming. His use of repetition, such as the word "rap," suggests his confidence and command of language.
