Rambo
SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Water! Get it, get it, get it, get it
Okay, huh, bitch
Okay, like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
This Rambo, this Rambo, this Rambo
No Rambo, no Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
No Rambo, no Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
These niggas they pussies, they tango
I swear I'm an MC no hammer
No ammo, like Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
These niggas they pussies, they tango
I swear I'm an MC no hammer, okay
If you ever take shots at me, check my peacock
Peacoat is if the same fuckin' color as rabies, weasel
Okay you vool, but don't comprehend my lingo
Like I'm Mandingo, when I'm in that pussy I tango
Matter of fact, whip that pussy like Django
Then tell her give me head like the hat made from Kangol
I had to cop me one of them fucking colored pencils
No ammo but I'm still killing beats like Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo
These niggas flip-flop like a sandal
Only live for a scent like a candle
I'ma light they ass up like earth's mantle
No Hannah Montana
But bitch I look pretty on the camera
Bathin' Ape on, I don't eat bananas
Rep the gang, no back pocket bandanna
Kiddin' me, thinkin' that you are not a Piccadilly
Racks in my pocket look like some pads without the lilly
Smoking presidential like name of it is Hillary
That broad she say she feel my energy
Whip my dick out, then she kung-fu grip that
Know how I'm rockin' like Slipknot
Kryptonite in my wrist watch
No Rambo, no Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
These niggas they pussies, they tango
I swear I'm an MC no hammer
No ammo, like Rambo
Like Rambo, like Rambo, like Rambo
These niggas they pussies, they tango
I swear I'm an MC no hammer, okay
The lyrics to "Rambo" by Ski Mask the Slump God are straightforward, yet cryptic at the same time. The song begins with a man ad-libbing "Woah!" and "yuh, yuh" over a minimalist beat. As he encourages the listener to "get it," he also repeats the phrase "like Rambo" several times. The chorus follows this pattern, repeating the phrase "like Rambo" in a hypnotic fashion.
The rest of the lyrics are much more complex. The rapper compares himself to the famous movie character Rambo, who is known for his tough persona and solo missions. He claims that he doesn't need "ammo" to be a "killer" on a beat, and that he's an "MC no hammer," meaning that he doesn't need a gun to make music that's lethal. He also boasts about his clothing, saying that he wears "Bathing Ape" and doesn't eat bananas.
Towards the end of the song, Ski Mask switches to a sexually explicit verse in which he talks about "whipping" a woman's "pussy like Django," referring to the Quentin Tarantino film. He goes on to brag about the size of his genitals and his ability to pleasure women, saying that they "kung-fu grip" it. The song ends as it began, with Ski Mask repeating the chorus and the ad-libber murmuring in the background.
