Drunk
ScHoolboy Q Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the future, this is the future

I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk

Never had enough, pass me the mask, ayy
Are you down for me? Girl, bend on my last, ayy
See the sirens pulling up, pigs on my ass, ayy
Even when the money come, gon' with you fast, ayy
Why my grandma couldn't live, gone way too fast, ayy
Cousin murdered in the field, gone way too fast, ayy
Got a liver full of yak, weed in the bag, ayy
Got Ciroc for the hoes, chill on the stash, ayy
Pass me the gas, 488, stunt man, blast from the past
Got my damn trunk in the front, top in the back, ayy
Hell yeah, nigga drunk, buzz if they ask, ayy

I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really

Hol' up

Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Don't be worried, baby, this is what I does
Backstroke, looking for a quick flood
You be lying when you say you want us to love
Two cups in, and you already lookin' for love

You a cutie and lookin' purdy and perfect
What you drinkin' feel amazing
Imagine we get to think
I'll explore you and tour you and keep it cordial
She prestigious, the cleanest, I could be dreaming
Fuck my ex is a no-no
Did the love thing, it cost me, she crossed me
Let me work it, you feel your virgin in circles
The groovy Capo, I keep it nasty, attractive
Hit it backwards, do it faster and faster
This a classic, I done mastered the climax, you feel the pressure
Hit it over and over, we doing extra
I can scratch ya and fold up, we get to mobbing
Bottle popping, I'm stressed for you, gave me options
Life is best in the backseat, ayy
Sunshine give me light words
Ain't soundin' right girl, come and spend a night, ayy

I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz
Just a lil' buzz, just a lil' buzz




I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk
I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk

Overall Meaning

ScHoolboy Q's song "Drunk" delves into the disjointed thoughts and feelings of the rapper as he navigates his intoxicated state. The opening lines of the song are a repeated refrain - "this is the future, this is the future" - which suggest that ScHoolboy Q is, perhaps, contemplating a dystopian future as he struggles with his own vice. He then repeats "I ain't really drunk, I ain't really drunk" several times, indicating that he is attempting to convince himself and others of his sobriety.


The verses of the song recount a variety of experiences and emotions, sometimes with little connection to one another. ScHoolboy Q speaks about feeling a "lil' buzz" and partying with alcohol and drugs, but he also mentions the death of his grandmother and a murdered cousin. The refrain - "I ain't really drunk" - takes on new meaning as ScHoolboy Q weaves in darker themes of loss and grief.


In the later part of the song, ScHoolboy Q's thoughts turn to sex and relationships. He describes himself as "groovy Capo" and boasts about his sexual prowess. He seems to be looking for something different from his previous relationships, something more casual but still satisfying. Overall, "Drunk" offers a glimpse into the chaotic and often contradictory thoughts that can accompany large amounts of alcohol and drug use.
