Chinatown Freestyle
Social Club Misfits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don't care what he say, what she say, or what they say
Why would we concern ourseleves with words from men when we got ourselves a word from God?
(God God God God God)
We're misfits
Yeah, I went to Chinatown, got a bottom grill
(Bottom grill)
Tatted on my arm green like a dolla' bill
(Dollar bill)
Forgot my wallet at the crib, I know they got me
(You know my face)
I really wanna know who gon' stop me?
(Who gon' stop me?)
Driftin' in the street like it's Tokyo
(Skirt)
Bow Wow challenge rappers lyin' like Pinocchio
Dancin' in the club, do the Electric Slide
If you hate on Social Club, then you dead inside
Facts, first Caddy I ever drove was a '85
(Facts)
Had the Ericsson flip phone, it was '95
(Numbers)
Had the PlayStation 2 in 2005
Fresh off the PlayStation Theater Stage like God's alive
Tour buses, airplanes
If we speakin' I'm givin' you very rare game
(Very rare)
I always went and got it when they say I couldn't
(Sure did)
That's why the flow remains exclusive like a vintage woolrich
(Google it)
Shots in the sky like a drum loop
(Blap blap)
I can see the rainbow through the sunroof
(Woodgrain PT Cruiser)
Gifted hands like I'm Ben Carson
Take a shot, I'm Lil' B with the hand motion
(Stir it up)
Got a death threat on Instagram
I responded "weird flex but okay fam"
(Ya)
Caught a bird that was God's will
Please don't call my phone, my voicemail is full
Uuh, used to pick the phone up now I seldom do
(Seldom do)
Unless it's momma with them babies
Cannot let you through
(I can't)
I went from free lunch to "nah' man, it's on me dawg"
(It's on me man)
I remember long nights formulatin' the dream up
They ask me "what's my favorite part of being on tour?"
(Uh ha)
The meet-n-greet
Showtime
Wingstop on the bus
I tell you no you lies
I'm trappin' rappin', but with no pies
(None)
The more things change they stay the same, I don't know why, ugh
Yea
Hey Alexa, play my favorite song
I didn't know bein' happy would just take this long
(Take this long)
Delete the album when Miller died
I gotta keep it real and give you everything inside
Free-free-freestylin' to take the pain the away
The boy was live
(Boy was live)
Holla at me sway 'cause I feel like I need to catch a vibe
(Anotha' vibe)
I bought a vintage shirt from a year I lived
(I did)
It's like I'm buyin' all the things I hated as a kid
It's weird

Find a better dude, I'll wait, undebatable
Find a better dude, I'll wait...




If you hate on Social Club then you dead inside
De-de-de-de-dead inside

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Social Club Misfits's song 'Chinatown Freestyle', the duo questions why they should care about what people say about them. They declare that they have the word of God, and thus, words from men should not be a concern. The Misfits then continue to rap about their lifestyle, starting with going to Chinatown and getting a bottom grill. The lyrics are straightforward and showcase the duo's confidence, bravado, and sense of humor.


Some of the other subjects they touch upon include their preference in gaming consoles, their first Cadillac, touring, and their ability to pursue their dreams. In the second verse, they mention a death threat they got on Instagram, telling the person who sent it, "weird flex but okay, fam." Finally, the duo ends the song by repeating the line, "If you hate on Social Club, then you dead inside."


The song's lyrics have a carefree, fun vibe, which is typical of a freestyle, but they still manage to convey a strong message of self-assurance and faith. The repeat of the last line shows how confident and proud the Misfits are of their work, making a point that if someone dislikes them, it says more about them than the Misfits.

When people ask me about my favorite aspect of being on tour, I tell them it's the opportunity to meet and connect with fans during the meet-n-greets, perform on stage during showtime, and enjoy Wingstop meals while traveling on the bus. And I am being truthful about it.


I'm trappin' rappin', but with no pies (None)
I'm creating and selling music that resonates with people, even though I'm not involved in illegal activities like drug dealing (which is often associated with the term "trapping" in hip hop slang).

Free-free-freestylin' to take the pain the away The boy was live (Boy was live)

I recently acquired a retro shirt that resembles the ones I had as a child, which I used to despise. It's strange how things come back around like this.

If you think you can find someone better than me, I challenge you to try. And I'm not afraid to wait for your response, as I know you'll come up empty. Also, if you dislike Social Club, then you must have a lifeless soul inside of you.
