Smiley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

(Yeah, it's Mikeyindacut in the cut)
(Tony Parker) I hear through a hole
Yeah, it's so cold
Wah gwan?

Niggas keep dissin' the gang, I heard through a whore (through a whore)
Had the Glizz in my pants and he ain't even know (he ain't even know)
I had a hundred racks, but this bitch short (came in tall)

We got life in (?) I say what I know (yeah)
Hundred racks (yeah), ain't nothin' but a starter pack (it is)
I tell her to get it back (get it back)
Now she got hella racks (you up now)
This girl got hella ass (hella), she look like a bees (a bees)
Do what she want (uh-huh), can't be discreet (can't be discreet)
She'll make a good guy think he wanna cheat (make you wanna fuck)
She all about me, I see in her tweets (I see in her tweets)
I feel like a boss but ain't nothin' like Meech (nothin' like Meech)
I'm all in the trap, I don't wanna teach

I'm all in the trap, you know I'm gon' bleach (you know I'm gon' stay there)
You know I'm with blunts, you know we gon' teach
Fuck all these whores, you know I'm on fleek
I'm countin' these racks, I look like a geek (I need my glasses)
I don't wanna speak, I want a check, I want designer
All over my sleeves, I don't know when, I wanna ball
I'ma be rich, while I'm beatin' them all
Ain't goin' broke (nah), ain't goin' back (nah)
I'm goin' bad, it's lookin' sad (yeah)
Fuck all these whores
They think I switch, I feel like MK, I feel like Rider
I need a Glizzy, I'm sellin' dizzy, I'm a bad example (yeah)
The fuck I said? Tell 'em to get it (tell them)
You ain't gotta sweat it (don't)
Fuck my ex, make her regret it

Niggas keep dissin' the gang, I heard through a whore (through a whore)
Had the Glizz in my pants and he ain't even know (he ain't even know)
I had a hundred racks, but this bitch short (came in tall)
We got life in (?) I say what I know (yeah)
Hundred racks (yeah), ain't nothin' but a starter pack (it is)
I tell her to get it back (get it back)
Now she got hella racks (you up now)
This girl got hella ass (hella), she look like a bees (a bees)
Do what she want (uh-huh), can't be discreet (can't be discreet)
She'll make a good guy think he wanna cheat (make you wanna fuck)
She all about me, I see in her tweets (I see in her tweets)
I feel like a boss but ain't nothin' like Meech (nothin' like Meech)
I'm all in the trap, I don't wanna teach (don't wanna teach)

When I walk in the room, niggas swear I'm like bees
They look at my ass, they all wanna squeeze
I'm all about my business, but I like to tease
When he slide in my DM's, all these fools get breeze, neck on freeze
Got a check on me
And I flex on who will try to mud up on me
Had to switch on you
Now you're R.I.p, you ain't nothin' like me
Like me and Smiley
We be over the top, all of the squad
Fuck other squad, give a fuck if you like it or not, yeah, yeah

Hundred racks, ain't nothin' but a starter pack
I tell her to get it back
Now she got hella racks

This girl got hella ass, she look like a bees
Do what she want

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smiley's song "Venice Beach" depict a lifestyle centered around money, power, and women. The song starts with bragging about having connections and hearing information through various channels, even from someone considered unreliable (referred to as a "whore"). The mention of having a Glizz (presumably a gun) hidden and not being aware of it symbolizes the potential danger the singer carries with them at all times. Despite having a significant amount of money, the singer highlights the disappointment of realizing that the person they're dealing with falls short of their expectations.

The next part of the lyrics emphasize the singer's involvement in a criminal lifestyle, specifically the drug trade. They express a preference for staying in the trap (a place where drugs are sold) rather than teaching or educating others. The mention of "bleaching" suggests they are using bleach to remove any signs of evidence or traces of illicit activities. The singer also mentions being accompanied by friends and flaunting their wealth, expressing a disinterest in conventional relationships or commitments.

The following verse showcases the singer's confidence and attitude. They express a desire for material possessions and designer clothes, rejecting the idea of going back to a less prosperous life. The references to MK (likely referring to Mary-Kate Olsen) and Rider (possibly referencing Twista's alter ego) convey a sense of arrogance and comparing oneself to influential figures. The singer desires a pistol (Glizzy) and engages in dubious activities, positioning themselves as a negative influence or role model.

The chorus is then repeated, emphasizing the singer's acknowledgment of people dissing their crew or gang. The mention of someone not being aware of the singer carrying a weapon indicates their constant state of alertness and potential danger. The disappointment of expecting a significant amount of money only to receive less than anticipated is reiterated. The singer asserts that having a hundred racks (thousand dollars) is merely a small starting point in their pursuit of wealth.

The final verse is performed by a female voice (possibly a guest artist) who adds her perspective. She describes herself as enticing and desirable, attracting attention from men who want to physically possess her. While focused on her own business, she enjoys playing with and teasing men who slide into her direct messages. She flaunts her financial security, flexing on anyone who tries to undermine her reputation or status. The reference to "neck on freeze" suggests expensive jewelry and accessories, symbolizing her wealth and success. The verse concludes with a statement expressing loyalty to Smiley and the squad, disregarding the opinions and judgments of others.
