Dumpin'
Papoose Lyrics

Who you are,
Asking the listener to identify themselves

One Nation under a thug and bullet scar,
Describing the state of the nation being under the influence of violent and gang-related activity

Young nation, no revolution and no cause,
Stating that the youth lack a unified drive or purpose for change

One Nation, young, black and dangerous by far,
Affirming the danger and perceived threat of the black youth

Young nation just trying to get this Murderous mind state,
Acknowledging the violent mindset that the youth have developed due to their environment

Can't keep my nine straight, Sippin' on this Hennessy, waiting for the time to break,
Implying that the artist is struggling to maintain control of their firearm while drinking and waiting for an opportunity to act out

Show up and motherfuckas bow down, recognize Westside, Death Row, Outlaw, Ridaz,
Asserting dominance and representing the violent and powerful mentality of the West Coast hip-hop scene

Untouchable mob of pistol packers, Well-known felons labeled for 'drug-selling merciless jackers',
Describing the group as a notorious and feared gang of drug dealers and criminals

Forever buzz, roll with thugs and dogs,
Living a life of constant vigilance and danger amongst violent colleagues

Commence the letting off rounds, then escape in the fog,
Starting gunfights and then escaping undetected

Who wants to see me solo?
Asking if anyone wants to confront the artist one-on-one

Catch Makaveli while he sleeping, My mini fourteen murdering n***as while they creepin', (Uh)
Expressing a desire to attack and murder rival gang members while they are unsuspecting and vulnerable to the artist's weapons

Duck cause you ass out, Drink 'til you pass out, Ain't scared to die, drunk driving in my glass house,
Boasting about the artist's recklessness and lack of fear towards death and danger while under the influence

N***as is under me, They bitches come to me, They heard the stories n***a, now they wanna really see,
Drawing attention to the artist's social status and the appeal of the dangerous lifestyle to those outside of it

Bomb First, my motto, it's fully guaranteed,
Promising to act first and with extreme violence if provoked

N***as is playa haters, label them my enemies,
Referring to those who hate the artist as enemies

I'm dumpin'
Announcing that the artist is about to begin shooting

Young nation just trying to get this When it's on, I'm poppin' off every chance I get,
Continuing to express a desire to engage in violent behavior when the opportunity presents itself

Out the window on some uptown anthem shit, I'm stressin', but ain't no pressure, I been here before,
Describing the artist's experience with violence and the stress that comes with it

Fugitive task force at my girlfriends' door, Now they checkin' in her bedroom, I ain't there,
Explaining that law enforcement is looking for the artist in connection to a crime that happened

Forty Cals, extended clips, still I ain't scared,
Touting the artist's weapons and disinterest in running from law enforcement

Outlaw, and best believe they won't take me alive,
Pledging to resist law enforcement until death

I'm different and I'mma prove it if it take me to die,
Claiming that the artist is unique and willing to prove it by continuing to partake in violent behavior even if it means dying

You think God had a plan for me?, But he won't be layin' up in my casket or doin' life in the can for me,
Asking if listeners believe a higher power has a plan for the artist's life but stating that they do not believe it will involve a life of incarceration or death

Maybe I'm brazen or paranoid than a bitch, Me dyin', you think I'd let him see the joy from that shit?
Admitting that the artist could be seen as reckless or paranoid, but that they do not want to die in a way that will make their enemies happy or content

Walking dead, angels spend their last days by me, New Jersey Giant like Dave Tyree, Young George or Jonathan Chat, Your guns clap, Mine will go 'br-r-r-r-att',
Using various references to assert the artist's size and strength and ability to shoot their gun more effectively than their enemies

Soldier like Geronimo Pratt, And come through cockin' tha black pound,
Comparing the artist's lifestyle and mentality to that of a soldier

When they put the twin towers up, Pac, I'm knockin' 'em back down,
Using the September 11 attacks as a metaphor for the artist's violent nature and desire to strike back against their rivals

Poster child, Air Force Ones, with the checks, I'm supposed to wild sex,
Describing the artist's persona as one that develops from products and trends in pop culture, and that they are expected to engage in reckless behavior

Money and murder is all I breathe in my life, It's full of judges and chasin' enemies in the night,
Describing the artist's lifestyle and interests as exclusively revolving around accumulating money and engaging in violent behavior with enemies

Through the Henny, I see the eyes of the Devil, He's ridin' with extra boxes of bullets and a nina and a shovel
Using Hennessy as a metaphor for hallucinations and describing the artist's belief that their enemies are ubiquitous and out to harm them

I always thought I'd have to die to do a record with Pac, So I wrote from the perspective of a graveyard box,
Explaining that the artist idolized Tupac and thought they would never have the opportunity to collaborate, so they wrote a song from the perspective of someone who is deceased

You end up in the box 'cause them grave robbin' bastards, Dig your grave up and snatched you out the casket,
Describing a scenario where the artist's enemies dig up their grave and remove their body from their casket

Worms in my eyes, eating through my cabbage, The flesh to the bones, The bones to the ashes, But I'm not dead, I'm actually in a session With the Pac Keeper, Sha Money, progressing,
Describing a state of decay that the artist's body is undergoing in death, but then revealing that the artist is actually alive and in a studio session

They don't really want no drama, I know they goons, That's why I keep pressure on 'em like a open wound,
Asserting that the artist's rivals do not actually want to engage in violent behavior, but that the artist remains vigilant and threatening

This God given, he keep givin' me better music, So every time you hear me, my songs present improvement,
Describing the art of hip-hop as a gift from God and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to improve with each song created and released

Y'all can't kill me, y'all forever losin', Songs of evolution,
Asserting that the artist is too powerful and dangerous to be killed by their enemies, while also suggesting that their music is constantly evolving and improving

If I load your gun for you And we bang it out with some other niggas, You better shoot it, Don't try to lie and say you was bustin', I'm clever, stupid,
Warning collaborators in a hypothetical scenario that they better actually engage in gunfire if given a gun, or else the artist will see through their lies

Claimin' you reppin' Ruthless, You got the same bullets you had When I loaded it for you, you never used it,
Calling out individuals who claim to represent the Ruthless lifestyle but who have not actually engaged in violent behavior

The Nasareema dream, get ready for execution, Papoose, Fatal and Pac The revolution
Referencing the concept of the Nasareema dream (a tribal practice of using a poisonous potion to kill corrupt members of society) and indicating that the artist and their collaborators are ready to start a revolution with violent tactics
