Peach Tree Rascals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just tryna make a play with the boys it′s tru/
Muhfuckas in the way we don't notice you/
Gotta get up out my face when we rollin thru/
*Gibberish*
Look fuck that shit I'm on one/
If you chose me then you chose the wrong one/
That kickback on my shoulders from shotgun/
Ay, I can probably make a muhfucka flip/
Back home they was always on some sucka shit/
Like "tell me where you at dawg".
Excuse me if I wanted to invite you I woulda did/
I be quiet in the function like "wassup with him"
I just pullup to the label and they buzz me in/
I ain′t ever gave a fuck what I coulda been/
Shit, the person that I am worth a couple M′s/
Muhfuckas wanna tell me what I'm supposed to do/
I′m just tryna make a play with the boys it's tru/
Muhfuckas in the way we don′t notice you/
Gotta get up out my face when we rollin thru/
Ok, walk in up the label with my dick in my hand/
And everybody pullin' strings but I just shit on they plans/
I think n***** tryna turn me to a pop star/
I thought I told these muthafuckas im a rockstar, what it do/
N***** want me to shuck and jive I can′t stand it/
They be mad cuz I keep it real no tap dancing/
Hi my name is Jody Fontaine and I can't be branded/
Ima do this shit how I feel, thats how I planned it/
Issac said he's killin all these n*****, not me though/
Fuck sendin shots bitch I sent the torpedo/
Fuck the prison system tell them n***** free greedo/
Contracts can′t enslave us bitch we free people/
Muhfuckas wanna tell me what I′m supposed to do/
I'm just tryna make a play with the boys it′s tru/
Muhfuckas in the way we don't notice you/
Gotta get up out my face when we rollin thru/
99 bottles of the heen on the wall
We should drink em all down until one of us fall
We should drink em all down until one of us fight
Ima press the issue on you till the end of the night
Wish well
All these n**** telling big tales
Bright and shiny armor
They might have to call me fish scale
Black berry
They might call me zin fan del
Dont smoke but the haze is all a n***** Inhale
Crystal poppin
I cant ride with you
Now crystal talking to me
Got a problem with you
I just pray that i wont have take a life or two
Could care less if i see eye to eye with you
Peach Tree, AG
They at this party with me
Trust and believe
It′s something you've never seen
Yuh
In "Popeye," Peach Tree Rascals speak out against social pressures and refuse to conform to arbitrary rules set by others. The song is characterized by an understated yet powerful beat and the band’s commanding vocals. The lyrics make use of profanity to emphasize the band's defiance, with the use of "muhfuckas" sounding more of a word of warning than a curse. The band's determination to do things their own way is emphasized in lines such as "I ain't ever gave a fuck what I coulda been/Shit, the person that I am worth a couple M’s." They assert that they are worth much more than someone else’s opinion of them.
The song's verses portray Peach Tree Rascals' confidence and their resolve to march to their own beat. They feel that some people are trying to mold them into something that they are not, and they are not shy to state that they refuse to bend to anyone's standards or expectations. The last verse features other artists joining Peach Tree Rascals in their common goal of rejecting norms set by society, with a shared drive to challenge the status quo. The song's tone is one of defiance, determination, and self-assuredness, letting anyone who may have doubted the band know that they're heading to the top their way, and they're not backing down.
