Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah!
Girl, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Come on! Just wanna fuck off!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Chorus]
What's the real nigga addiction, addiction?
Money, weed and bitch hanging with,
Hey, shit what my intentions?

I didn't know, I known for years, so
To all my niggas I would die for, die for,
Load my pistol I would go out and war for.
Spill my... you keep your hat, we're all poor,
No way to go, I'm walking through my front door!
Hey, my niggas do the same,
So when he was younger he was my man,
nigga, I wouldn't figure you would be on that stamp,
Putting my life up in your hands, putting your finger like damn!
For really though, really though, we were just slaying Nazis like an year ago
You know my sister, though, my three cousins and my uncle Joe.
You hear my dough, see my nigga, use a whole!
Remember them Cheerios, nigga turtles on my grandma's floor
I'm like for show, catch you on a rebound
Grave land is where you sit down,
What goes around, comes the sky's up
Your mouths shut!

[Chorus x2]
What's the real nigga addiction, addiction?
Money, weed and bitch hanging with,
Hey, shit what my intentions?

Who the fuck you wanna... with?
Started around the bottom, ended up at the top,
Heard you was in some trouble, I don't retime my clock!
Did what I did, would it knew it was the cops,
Talk all on the phone, 'till your homie about the block,
You got me all in the box, thought you was my niggy
You got your sentience reduce, cause you told 'em I pulled the trigger
And now I was looking out for you, you
Trying to show 'em just like we do!
Put on my shit aside, now
Figure that I would keep it creepy,
This what this real nigga get me!
Locked up like a... you got the chance of a
My old bitch wanna beat my dick plenty
My shooting finger itchy, but I hope somebody get it
But probably not!
Tonight I'm sweating in, cause you got me hot, got me hot!
And get his ass popped!
Can't get over how we was, tough as that
Man, we did everything together
Fuck our first bitches
Robbed the first nigga was down for whatever
And I blast you forever if we had to!





[Chorus x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "My Homie" by Schoolboy Q featuring Tyler The Creator and Kurupt deals with the theme of loyalty and betrayal in friendships. The chorus "What's the real nigga addiction, addiction? Money, weed and bitch hanging with, Hey, shit, what my intentions?" reveals that even though friendship may seem solid, the materialistic things in life can come in the way and disrupt relationships. The loyalty and love he feels for his friends are evident as he confesses that he would go out to war and die for his homies. However, he becomes disillusioned as he uncovers the disloyalty of a friend turned snitch who betrayed him.


Throughout the song, Schoolboy Q reminisces about the good times spent with his friend, how they had each other's backs, and how they would do anything for each other. He mentions how they used to hang out and do drugs together, but now the friend has turned his back on him, and he is locked up, and he is facing punishment for a crime he did not commit. He wants to seek revenge but realizes that it will be better to remain calm instead of reacting violently. He concludes the song with the line "Can't get over how we were, tough as that. Man, we did everything together. Fuck our first bitches. Robbed the first nigga was down for whatever. And I blast you forever if we had to!" which signifies that true friendships are hard to come by, and once a bond is broken, it is difficult to repair.


Overall, the song's tone is somber and emotional as Schoolboy Q looks back at his friendship and contemplates how he could have missed the signs of betrayal.
