white walls
ScHoolBoy Q & Hollis Lyrics

I wanna be free, I wanna just live
I desire freedom and to live life on my own terms.

Inside my Cadillac, That is my shit
I feel most comfortable and in control while driving my Cadillac.

And I throw it up (I throw that up)
I proudly display my Cadillac to anyone who will look.

That’s what it is (That’s what it is)
That’s the reality of the situation.

In my C A D I L L A C bitch (biatch)
I refer to my car, a Cadillac, as a way to assert my power and status. The use of the word 'bitch' is a form of aggression.

Can’t see me through my tints (Nah ah)
I have dark window tints, making it difficult for others to see me or what I'm doing.

I’m riding real slow (slow motion)
I'm driving at a leisurely pace, taking my time and enjoying the ride.

In my paint wet drippin shorty like my 24’s (Umbrella)
The paint on my car is still wet and dripping, while the girl riding with me is dancing like the music video for 'Umbrella' by Rihanna.

I ain’t got 24’s (No oh)
I don't have 24-inch rims on my car, but I'm still stylish.

But I’m on those Vogues
I do have Vogue-brand tires, which are known for their white-wall design.

That’s those big white walls, round them hundred spokes
Vogue tires have a large white-wall design and the wheels have many spokes, making it look like I have 100 spokes on each wheel.

Old school like old English in that brown paper bag
My style is old-school like drinking malt liquor, represented by the brown paper bag it comes in.

I’m rolling in that same whip that my granddad had
I'm driving the same type of car (a Cadillac) that my grandpa used to drive.

Hello haters, Damn y’all mad
I acknowledge that there are people who dislike me and my success, but it doesn't affect me.

30k on the Caddy, now how backpack rap is that?
I spent $30,000 on my Cadillac, but some people may view me as a backpack rapper who should be more humble or less flashy.

Man I’m lounging in some shit Bernie Mac would’ve been proud of
I'm sitting in a car that the late comedian Bernie Mac would have admired and respected.

Looking down from heaven like damn that’s stylish
Bernie Mac is in heaven looking down on me and my car, and he would think it's very cool and fashionable.

Smilin’, don’t pay attention to the mileage
I'm happy and carefree, not worrying about how many miles I'm putting on my car.

Can I hit the freeway? I’m legally going 120
I want to drive fast on the freeway, but I'm staying within the law by not exceeding 120 mph.

Easy weaving in and out of the traffic
I'm maneuvering my car skillfully through traffic, making it look easy.

They cannot catch me, I’m smashing
No one can catch me because I'm driving so fast and recklessly.

I’m ducking bucking them out here
I'm avoiding getting caught or getting into trouble with the authorities.

I’m like go fuckin their tastic, I am up in a classic
I'm doing an amazing job and feeling great while driving a classic car.

Now I know what it’s like under the city lights
I'm experiencing driving at night in the city for the first time.

Riding into the night, driving over the bridge
I'm driving my car into the night, crossing a bridge.

The same one we walked across as kids
I'm referring to a bridge that I may have walked over when I was younger, possibly with friends or family.

Knew I’d have a whippin’ but never one like this
I always knew I would drive a nice car, but I never imagined one as nice as my Cadillac.

Old school, old school, Candy paint, two seater
My car is old-school and has candy-colored paint. It's also a two-seater, meaning it's not meant to carry many passengers.

Yea, I’m from Seattle, There’s hella Honda Civics
I'm from Seattle, where there are many Honda Civics on the road (a popular and affordable car).

I couldn’t tell you about paint either
I don't know much about car paint or how it works.

But I really want a Ducati so I put in the hours
I'm interested in owning a Ducati motorcycle, so I'm working hard to make enough money to afford one.

And roll on over to the dealer
When I have enough money, I will go to the Ducati dealer to purchase one.

And I found the car, junior, problem with this geezer
I found the Ducati (or another car), but an older man is giving me some trouble or trying to negotiate with me.

Got the keys in and as I was leaving I started screaming
As I left the dealer with the new car, I was filled with excitement and started screaming in celebration.

Backwoods and dope
I have marijuana and Backwood cigars in my car.

White hoes in the backseat snorting coke
Women (derogatorily referred to as 'hoes') are in the backseat using cocaine.

She doing line after line like she’s writing rhymes
The woman in the back is using lots of cocaine, as if she's writing many rhyming lyrics in a row.

I had it hella my love, tryna blow her mind
I'm facilitating the drug use of the women in the backseat, trying to impress or thrill them.

Cadillac pimpin’, my uncle was on
I'm 'pimping' out my Cadillac, making it look and feel luxurious, like my uncle used to do.

14 years out so excuse me and my niggas was gone
My uncle was in prison for 14 years, so excuse my wild behavior and absence from society.

Sendin’ portions of his liquor, water in the Patron
My uncle is sending me portions of his homemade liquor, while I mix my own water with Patron tequila.

Rather smiling like I won the fucking lottery homes (Fuckin' lottery homes)
I'm so happy and carefree, it's as if I won the lottery or a large sum of money.

Tires with the spokes on it in the 4-2
My car (not necessarily a Cadillac anymore) has tires with spokes, possibly in the size 42.

Most of the mayonnaise, keeping the buns on ‘em
I have a lot of money, represented metaphorically as mayonnaise (because it's white and rich), and I'm keeping some of it saved up to use in the future (represented as 'keeping the buns on them').

My dogs hanging out the window
My friends are hanging out the car window, enjoying the ride.

Young as whoosh, fuckin like we ball
We are young and wild, enjoying life to the fullest like we're professional basketball players.

Tryna fuck em all, kill the fuckin wimps
I'm trying to have sex with many women and not wasting time with weak or unattractive ones.

See what’s poppin’ at the mall, meet a bad bitch
We're going to the mall to see what's happening and hopefully meet a beautiful woman.

Slap her booty with my palms, you can smoke the pussy, I was tearing down the walls
I'm being sexually aggressive with a woman, slapping her butt and making crude references to smoking her vagina. I'm feeling powerful and unstoppable, as if I'm tearing down walls.

I’m motherfuckin’ off
I'm acting crazy and not thinking clearly.

Son, swear these eyes tryna hypnotize
I'm so high on drugs or drunk that my eyes seem to be mesmerizing or hypnotizing others around me.

Grip the leather steering wheel while I grip the thighs
I'm driving while also groping the thighs of the woman next to me in the car.

See the lust stuck up in her eyes, maybe she like the ride or did she like the smoke?
The woman next to me seems to be enjoying the car ride or the drugs we're using, or possibly both. I'm not sure which one she's most attracted to.

Or does she want it low? This shit a Coupe de Ville so you’ll never know
I don't know if the woman wants to have sex with me or not, but my car (now possibly a Coupe de Ville instead of a Cadillac) is only a two-seater, so she won't be able to tell if I have any ulterior motives.

So we cool with niggas, my nigga fuck the limit
I'm hanging out with cool people and don't care about rules or limits.

Got a window tinted for showing gangstas in it
I have dark window tints on my car to impress other gangsters or people who might assume I'm in a gang.

Slice off when the gas is finished, Q
I'm going to keep speeding until I run out of gas, then cut off the gas and stop driving (my name is Q, so this line might be referencing my own name as a signal to stop driving).

Off-black Cadillac, midnight drive
I'm driving my black Cadillac at night.

Got that gas pedal, leaning back, taking my time
I'm driving leisurely, with my foot on the gas pedal and taking my time.

I’m blowin’ that roof off, letting in sky
I'm driving with the convertible top down, enjoying the night sky while I drive.

I shine, the city never looked so bright
I feel confident and happy, as if I'm glowing, and the city around me looks brighter and more vibrant than ever before.
