PnB Rock hails from Pastorius and Baynton Streets in the Germantown section of Philadelphia β thatβs where he found the βPβ and βBβ in his name. Thatβs also where he found himself in a bit of trouble.
When Rock was 13 years old, he got sent away to a youth detention program for fighting in school and committing robberies. When Rock turned 19, he was sent to prison; it was there where he learned to blend calming melodies with hard street stories.βThere were people up there singing in the yard. They were doing the same thing that I was doing, but they were serious with it,β he remembers. βThere would be crowds around them and that was our entertainment, everybody loved it.β PnB wrote his entire first mixtape RNB (Real Nigga Bangaz), while he was locked up and eventually released in 2014. βMy first mixtape was highly anticipated in my city and I drove around selling them hand-to-hand,β he says, remarking that he barely made any money off the sales after he factored in the cost of gas. βIt was all love because people got to take pictures and meet me face-to-face.β
The bubbling singer/songwriter explored his musical side; a side which was fueled by his motherβs massive CD collection which included albums from the Temptations as well as 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z. βMy whole life I was surrounded by music. I didnβt really like anything else,β he says. βI didnβt watch cartoons, I didnβt play sports, I just liked music, money and girls.β
When RNB2 dropped in February 2015, Rockβs loyal following had propelled him way past his native Philly blocks. It was enough to earn the attention of a number of major labels, including Atlantic Records, where PnB Rock signed earlier this year.
If RNB and RNB2 laid the foundation, PnBβs newly released RNB3 will set the stage for a long career. Led by tracks like βFleekβ β a song which Rock wrote during his last day in prison and now has over 2.4 million plays on SoundCloud β RNB3 will be PnB Rockβs biggest yet.
On the Sonny Digital-produced βAlone,β he opens up about his shortcomings as a man, admitting that he hasnβt been the most faithful. βMaybe I could turn down 10, but I canβt turn down 20,β he sings about the amount of advances he gets on social media.
Then there are his more laid back tracks like βFeelin Like Diddyβ and βNo Time,β better known as the ultimate hustlerβs anthem. βIβm just telling a female that I could give you whatever you want, but Iβm not trying to be tied down,β he says. βI could entertain you and fuck with you, but donβt expect me to be committed to nobody. Iβm committed to the grind.β
You see, when it comes to PnB Rock, itβs best to leave the flowers and candy behind. You wonβt be needing them. βI got a new sound for sure,β he says. βI could touch different topics that these other artists canβt touch, because Iβm in the streets.β
On September 12, 2022 PnB Rock died in a shooting at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles after his girlfriend posted their location on an Instagram story.

PnB Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl your ex keep callin'
Fuck him we ballin'
I put double G's on you, I put double C's on you
I put Louis V on you, that nigga a scrub
He can't take you out, that shit is a dub for you
Tell your ex, nigga leave you alone
He stuck in the past, he ain't got no cash
I swear that's just bad for you
And this where you need to be
Top floor of the suite
Fuck you on the beach
Cups full o' Hennessy
Backwoods for the weed
We on a hell of a high, but he always killing our vibes
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Tell him leave yo' ass alone
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Tell him leave yo' ass alone
Tell him leave yo' ass alone
Ex keep callin', might have to buy you a new phone
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Fuck him we ballin'
I put double G's on you, I put double C's on you
I put Louis V on you, that nigga a scrub
He can't take you out, that shit is a dub
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Fuck him we ballin'
I put double G's on you, I put double C's on you
I put Louis V on you, that nigga a scrub
He can't take you out, that shit is a dub for you
I swear he a bum
He ain't got no crib, he still living with his mom
He ain't got no car, he still riding in the Uber
He ain't got no choice, that nigga a loser
Listen lady, you the only one that started thinking that he crazy
You the only one that ever thought that he was wavy
You the only one, you got that nigga going brazy
Shawty you a baddie
And you got a fattie
Ask my ex girl, you'd be lucky if you had me
I just want to show you the world, you can have it
And you know a dub mean you lovin' the fashion
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Fuck him we ballin'
I put double G's on you, I put double C's on you
I put Louis V on you, that nigga a scrub
He can't take you out, that shit is a dub

Girl your ex keep callin'
Eh eh ex keep callin', callin'
Girl, your ex keep callin'
Fuck him we ballin'

In "Scrub," PNB Rock sings about a woman whose ex-boyfriend continues to text and call her despite their breakup. He prescribes a solution of letting go of the past, moving on, and enjoying the finer things in life with him. He also mocks the woman's ex-boyfriend's inability to provide for her with lyrics such as βhe ain't got no crib, he still living with his mom,β and βhe ain't got no car, he still riding in the Uber.β
PNB Rock also affirms his desire to treat the woman like a queen. He mentions buying her designer clothes from Gucci and Louis Vuitton, putting "double G's" and "double C's" on her, and expressing his willingness to show her the world.
The overall message in the song is to not dwell on the past and enjoy the present with someone who treats you better than your ex-partner did. PNB Rock's catchy lyrics and upbeat melody make the song enjoyable and relatable to those who have gone through a breakup.
