Banger
ScHoolboy Q Lyrics

Boom, shakalaka, boom-boom, shakalaka
Sound effects to hype up the song

Banger! (Figg Side!)
Introducing the song and the reference to Figg Street in Los Angeles, where Schoolboy Q is from

Fool, floss on your block you get Brooklyn block on your block
If you show off your money and success in a rival gang's territory, you will get robbed and beaten

Yawk! (Buddy, bye-bye!)
Celebratory phrase after getting rid of someone who was threatening or disrespectful

Grab your brownie, sit the party, shake the party
Preparing for a party and getting ready to have fun

Break the party, murder party, leave the body, tell nobody
The intensity and violence of the party, and the call to keep it secret and hidden from the authorities

Put it down, Figg Side rip ride
Showing loyalty to his gang and representing them in his music

Grooveline wig line shots fired knock-knock, yawk!
A reference to grooving and partying, followed by gunshots and triumphant celebration

You ain't really 'bout that, you don't want to see a Glock out
Calling out people who talk tough but wouldn't actually engage in violence

You a pussy ass nigga, you be hoping for a cop out
Insulting people who rely on the police to solve their problems instead of resolving them themselves

Got a nine and a clip, put a nine on your hip
Boasting about his weapons and how he carries them

Keep talking that shit, knock five on your lip
Threatening to physically harm someone if they don't stop being disrespectful

G-Ride ski masks and colored rags
Describing the attire and masks his gang members wear when committing crimes

Contraband in bags, focused on enemigos in jags
Referring to smuggling illegal goods and targeting rival gang members who drive Jaguars

Big sips out our flasks, we faded who next to get famous
Drinking and getting drunk while planning the next crime or attack

Them bangers get banging that barrell keep changing like click-click
Gunshots and violence are frequent and unpredictable, and the guns need to be reloaded frequently

Shit, I wish a nigga would
Challenging others to start a fight or cross him

Feeling fucking good, crack and scramble up your hood
Enjoying the thrill and excitement of committing crimes in a rival gang's territory

Get it understood, I could have 'cause leaking blood
Making it clear that he is not to be messed with and is willing to use violence if necessary

Personal as fuck at your door drop you on your rug
Threatening to attack someone on their own property and leave them lying on the floor

Ain't nothing sweet 'bout rumbling with B's
Emphasizing that there is nothing easy or gentle about engaging in gang activity

You don't need water to travel through the C's
Making reference to the Crips, a rival gang to Schoolboy Q's Bloods gang

Unravel the backwoods and crumble up the trees
Preparing to smoke marijuana and getting it ready to smoke

Nigga, please, your skull missing now homie feel the breeze
Threatening to shoot someone in the head and leave their body bleeding out on the ground

These bullets burning gon' be hard for you to breathe
After being shot, it will be difficult to breathe due to the pain and possible lung damage

These bullets burning damn near possible to bleed
The wounds left by the bullets will bleed profusely and be difficult to stop

Off that alcohol, that nozzle flammable
Drinking alcohol may make someone more violent and impulsive, and also flammable if they are around something like a lighter or match

Beef I prey on my preyer react like animal
When there is a conflict, he will respond aggressively and without mercy like an animal hunting its prey

Pussy, I split you like camel toe, my shoelaces matching my flannel
Insulting someone by saying he will harm them, and also boasting about his fashion style

We be loading up ammo, y'all be making them channels
Schoolboy Q and his gang acquire more weapons and ammunition while others just talk on social media

Yellow tape by them candles, gang members with killing sprees
Crime scenes are marked off with yellow tape and usually include candles or other memorial items, while the gangs continue to commit more violent acts

On our agendas, real niggas fingers on nickel-plated 9 triggers
Gang members are focused on carrying their weapons and being ready to use them at any moment

Facial expressions say surrender
The look on someone's face shows when they are defeated or scared of someone else

When that iron enter, lay back recline nigga
If you get shot, there is no point in resisting; just give up and accept your fate

Access denied nigga, refrigerate Ziploc
Referencing drug slang and being secretive and cautious when dealing with illegal substances

And all genders, rather Crip or Piru hoes get it too
Both male and female gang members from rival groups are targets for violence

Y'all really into talking, we with that bullshit
Others may talk about violence or make threats, but Schoolboy Q and his gang are actually committed to it

Them shots is steady sparking, we on that bullshit
Gunshots are frequently fired and the gang is actively engaging in violent behavior

Your hood gon' hear them sirens, we did that bullshit
Police will be called and the neighborhood will know about the gang's actions

My 50 niggas wilding, we 'bout that bullshit
Schoolboy Q has a large group of gang members who are ready to participate in violent behavior

Warn your momma California, we 'bout that bullshit
A warning to anyone who may not be aware of the gang's activities and reputation

Banger! (Figg Side!)
Repeating the chorus and emphasizing the gang's allegiance and loyalty

Banger!
Closing out the song and emphasizing the violent and aggressive tone
