SLEEPY HALLOW Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got some demons on my back
I put my shooters on the map
30 round get him if he lack
Drip down, know I spent a pack
Big body, same color crack
New thottie, love to throw it back
I just gotta swipe, no app
We gon' get these racks, no cap

Yeahhhh, savage
She gon' shake it for a savage
All for the green cash, call it cabbage
I'm off the pills, knee can't balance
Yeahhhh, trappin'
We got the trap doin' backflips
Roll up the gas, countin' up the baggage
She got a fat ass, I'ma slap it
Yeahhhh, shooter gang got 'em shook
Step in that kitchen, choppa get you cooked
Aye, flip a nigga like a book
Fuck with the gang, souls gettin' took
Aye, bleed it, huh, tell 'em don't speak it
Can we fuck and keep it secret?
Aye, [?], fuck it, I'm leaving
Bitches switch up like the seasons

I got some demons on my back
I put my shooters on the map
30 round get him if he lack
Drip down, know I spent a pack
Big body, same color crack
New thottie, love to throw it back
I just gotta swipe, no app
We gon' get these racks, no cap

Look, look, I be chillin' but I be lovin' war
Look, Sleepy, you know who to call
Been on watch since a nigga been kickin' doors
Look, used to swing the.44
Heavy traps, we don't carry no.22's
We can fight out, don't care if I win or lose
Diagnosis, I'm lucky
Look, alone in the dark while I thought of my sickest moves
Look, alone, I was broke, wasn't gettin' money
Look, need it, I take it from you
Look, no rest, even on a Sunday
Free all the gang, huh, you know that they watchin' us
T2MB be the team, know they family and ain't no departing us

I got some demons on my back
I put my shooters on the map
30 round get him if he lack
Drip down, know I spent a pack
Big body, same color crack
New thottie, love to throw it back
I just gotta swipe, no app
We gon' get these racks, no cap

Yeahhhh, savage
She gon' shake it for a savage
All for the green green, call it cabbage
I'm off the pills, knee can't balance
Yeahhhh, trappin'
We got the trap doin' backflips
Roll up the gas countin' up the baggage




She got a fat ass, Imma slap it
Yeahhhh

Overall Meaning

The song "Demons" by SLEEPY HALLOW is a portrayal of a dark and violent lifestyle that the artist lives. It features lyrics that detail his involvement in gang violence and drug dealing. SLEEPY HALLOW admits that he has demons on his back, which means he's carrying a lot of weight and guilt from his past deeds. He also talks about his shooters, who he put on the map, suggesting that they are his allies in his criminal undertakings.


In the next line, he talks about a 30-round gun and how he plans to use it if the other person is lacking something. The lyrics also mention a big body of the same color as crack cocaine, which is a drug reference. He mentions a new thottie, which is slang for a girl who is easy to get with; she loves to throw it back, meaning she's good in bed. He then boasts about how he can easily swipe to get what he wants, and that they'll get the racks (money) with no cap (limit).


Later in the song, he talks about his trappin' lifestyle, which means he's involved in selling drugs. He says the trap (a place where drugs are sold) is doing backflips, suggesting that he's doing really well in his business. He also talks about slapping a girl’s ass, which shows his misogynistic attitude. The song ends with a shoutout to his gang and his invincibility from any other force that may try to bring him down.
