While in Chicago, he met engineer Chris “Classik” Inumerable, who became his closest friend and is now his manager. In 2015, he released two EPs: S!Ck S!Ck S!Ck and blkjuptr.

Smino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time one time one time, whoo!
Smino papi, I love your posse
You got them jingles like some car keys
Its zero party
A lil kickback just a few bodies
Some cute lil mommies
I’m dead, I’m carcass
Don’t make it awkward, whatcha talkin?
Smoke like this often
Need to check my engine, light up fuck it
Like where we fucking?
Jump in the pussy, airborne no bungee
No type of 'tection
This drunk erection could be deadly
Might pull a hammy
No string attachments don’t group text me
Text me them breastses
That recipe might be my medicine
Doing better than I ever been
Getting medals, pussy niggas still meddling
She dutty wine-wine smino Grigio
Easy though I don’t be drinking like that
Move on my time oh time time
You give and you give you
Just don’t get it back
I been over never being sober
That shit getting old every kickback
Same lil bitch that I just seen a week ago
Wonder why you never see me
Only see me at my show
Suck me sayonara, sing a sonnet girl
Gotta go
Slam dunking in the pussy (ohhhhhh)
Slam dunking in the drawers
Phone off don’t interrupt me (ohhhhhh)
I’m gon' swim until tomorrow
Thumbs soggy from the waters (ohhhhhh)
Lil parched I need some agua
Mouth on the faucet ain't no cups
Only thing on the menu is me-n-u

Roll a wood, pack a bong for you
Lil momma put on that lip balm
Then toss me that improv
Come straight off the top make it clap
When you walk in the room like a sitcom

Been makin some noise like the kids gone
My poise so proper my P’s and Q’s
Keep some pussy a quarter at least to cool

Yo bitch on my pickle
Juice in my jar keep my dick

The lyrics to Smino's song "Menu" depict a casual encounter between Smino and a love interest. The song explores themes of lust, pleasure, and the desire for a connection beyond physical intimacy. Smino starts off by expressing his affection for the girl he's with, appreciating her presence and comparing her allure to the sound of jingling car keys. The atmosphere is described as a low-key gathering with a few friends and attractive women.
The lyrics then delve into Smino's desire for intimacy, disregarding any potential consequences. He mentions his engagement in substance use, possibly marijuana, and his willingness to engage in sexual activity without any protection. Despite the potential risks, he seems to embrace the thrill and excitement of the moment. Smino's lyrics also touch upon his self-assuredness, claiming that he is doing better than ever before and receiving recognition for his achievements, while others are still meddling in trivial matters.
The chorus suggests that the encounters Smino references are fleeting, just temporary pleasures, and that he is aware of his own transience. He reflects on the repetition of these experiences, where he often meets the same people at parties and wonders why he is not seen outside of those contexts. There is a sense of disillusionment with shallow connections and a longing for something more meaningful. Smino reiterates the idea that he desires intimacy, declaring himself as the only option on the menu.
Overall, the lyrics portray a mixture of hedonism and a yearning for deeper connection, highlighting the fleeting nature of casual encounters and the desire for something more substantial.

When you enter the room with a captivating presence, like a sitcom character
I be cooling it real calm
I remain calm and composed
Been makin some noise like the kids gone

I always keep a female companion around, at least to calm the situation
You never no never gon' ever
You will never, ever, ever
Ever get it this real
Experience something this genuine or authentic
With this feel, kinda a big deal
With this vibe, it's quite significant
Yo bitch on my pickle
Your girl is infatuated with me
Juice in my jar keep my dick
I'm sexually potent and desirable
And my name in her jaw
She knows and talks about me
I'm a beast I’m an orangutan in this bitch
I'm incredibly skilled and dominant in this environment
I don’t hang with no friends
I don't associate with many people
I just gang with the clique
I only hang out with my close group of friends
Like Adam Sandler
Similar to how Adam Sandler portrays himself in movies
Straight drop with the jolly rancher
Immerse yourself in a drug experience with a jolly rancher candy
Leanin' on you!
Depend on you for support or assistance
I’m forever last minute packin'
I always pack things at the last minute before leaving
Tryna get to where ya at
Trying to reach the place you are currently located
Get caught in traffic, tragic ooh
Getting stuck in traffic, which is unfortunate
