Slim Thug Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I Gots Ta Work My Wood Grain Wheel
Trunks Steady Bumpin Grillz Steady Comin

I Takin Off Down The Runway Broad Day Sunday Haters Lookin At Me I ain't Playin Nutin But Gunplay
Hand On The Grain While I'm Swangin On The Oneway Boppas Everywhere I See it'll Be A Fun Day
I Might As Well Stay Up All Night Till Its Monday My Shit Will Prob End Up Where My Son Stay
Got Baby Momma Drama Cause The Bitch Drivin A Hyndai And I Got A Rolls G Up Hoes Still Down Till I'm Down Watch Me Act A Damn Clown
Haterz Sit Around Makin Muthafuckas Frown Flippin Through My Town Tryin To See What The Fucks Up Boss City Ballas
Niggas Get you're Bucks Up I Gotta King Ranch that'll Make you Put Trunks Up
Looks Like Them Other Boys Ran All Their Luck Up
Damn Sho can't Touch Us We Them True Bosses you Know How We Do It Fool We Holdin Up Flosses

[Chorus:]
Now I Gots Ta Work My Wood Grain Wheel
Trunks Steady Bumpin Grillz Steady Comin

Now I Gots Ta Work My Wood Grain Wheel Hand On The Steel Cause Them Haterz On My Heelz
Make Me A Mill And Done It Before The Deal

Candy Paint Shinin 5th Wheel Reclinin Caddy Goin Topless Like Them Dancers At The Diamond
Boss Yea Blindin And Everybody Lookin And Where I'm From Women ain't The Only Ones Cookin
Boyz Gettin Paid Pushin Caddy Escalade Still Roll Vogs Used To Roll Blades
Braids In Tha Face When We Rep Tha North Side
And you ain't Ridin Slabs If That ain't Swangas On you're Ride
Ready For Whatever If you Think Thug Is Scary Ill Unload The Glock If It Gets Necessary
Been Legendary In The Streets Of The H Cause I Stay Ridin 4s Putin Candy In you're Face Mayne

[Chorus:]
Now I Gots Ta Work My Wood Grain Wheel
Trunks Steady Bumpin Grillz Steady Comin

This Drink Got Me Leanin I ain't Smoked All Day So I'm Fienin I'm Feelin Like I'm Livin And I'm Livin Like I'm Dreamin
My Candy Slab Gleamin I Pass With A Flash
Smashin The Gas Find Them Boyz On Glass
Swangin Bout To Crash Then I Look The Other Way
Make My Slab Sway Down Here that's How We Play
Ridin Down Mlk Chuckin Dueces To That Trae (Where you At Trae)
Niggas On The Grind Mayne Boyz Is On The J
I Got Diamonds On My Colla Shoes Say Prada Shades Say The Same Ima Kill Them On It Mayne
While I'm Workin On The Grain Ima Hog On The Road
I Make Em Move Around Like Them Laws On Rolls
Trunk Steady Hummin you Hear Me When I'm Comin Beat Hittin Hard Soundin Like A Drummer Drummin
Everyday I Stay Stuntin ain't Goin To Stop Till I'm Dead On The North Side We Ride Blue Not The Red

[Chorus:]




Now I Gots Ta Work My Wood Grain Wheel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slim Thug's song, Woodgrain Wheel, primarily focus on the idea of showing off and flaunting one's possessions without caring about the bystanders' judgment. The first verse talks about leaving the town while playing loud music and not caring about what anyone thinks of the gun sounds. The author mentions his car's wood grain wheel and how he needs to "work" it. He also raps about the constant presence of "haters" around him, wanting to bring him down, and how he's not afraid to act like a jester, because he has nothing to worry about.


The chorus focuses on the sound of his car, its music system, and how the beat is consistent with his heart because, to him, true wealth means having possessions that other people can't afford. He refers to himself and others from his community as "bosses" and "ballers," which gives them the confidence to act without fear.


The second verse portrays how the author, as he drives to a dollar, is surrounded by women and men all day cooking and making money. The author talks about his car's features, but more importantly, how he's willing to pull out a gun if people cause him trouble. The third verse talks about how he drinks and drives, calls out another rapper named Trae, and how he's always "stuntin" to impress people even if his life is on the line.


Overall, the lyrics show a world in which possessions and material wealth are everything, where flaunting them is necessary to gain respect.
