The trumpets blaring but we do not hear a sound
They love the kid ever since i hit the ground ok
Ever since a youngin i was moving pounds of plates
So pussy boy just shut up

Get up out my face
Ion want no pressure but im piped up in this bitch
Why you tryna flex on me dont talk to me like this

Ion pay for pussy but that pussy paying shit
Everybody turn to hoes you cant ever trust a bitch

I been gone all night long we just getting started nigga
I cant fold i cant fall for the guap these hoes retarted nigga
Dance with the devil now you cant go back
Gettin diamonds on the wrist can still get smacked
Told gang hold it down other niggas get taxed

Return of the king put the scene on the map
Feel like my homies been holding me back
Double s and we came to attack with a couple of tecs and a couple of macs
Whole circle full of pussies and rats
Pop me a perky im back on the task
Dippin and dodging im making deposits that hoe just been calling tell bitch to relax
Oh wait now im back to my old days now we back to the old days pull up
Ice cold like my first name was ohshay and im wavy like ocean

Smoking on potent im feeling important
South of the strip bitch know we in motion you know we in motion south south south south

Overall Meaning

The song "Trumpets" by South Strip, talks about the feeling of being on top of the world while the trumpets are blaring, but not hearing any sound. The opening lines of the song is a paradoxical statement where trumpets are typically associated with loud and grand sounds, but in this case, the singer does not hear anything. The next line talks about the singer being loved ever since they hit the ground, which can be interpreted as them being successful from the get-go.

Moving forward, the song's lyrics talk about the singer's experiences with selling drugs, which could imply living a life of crime in their younger days. The lyrics urge those who talk a big game to keep quiet and not throw any pressure, as it is not something they are willing to handle. The singer talks about not paying for sex, but the women they get involved with pay for them, which shows a reversed dynamic where the singer is in control. The song also touches upon the betrayal they have felt from people turning into hoes, making them unable to trust anyone.

The rest of the song talks about their journey in life, where they have been gone all night long, and it feels like their night is just getting started. The lyric shows how their cold-heartedness in life has allowed them to be successful, and people who try to flex will not be tolerated. They talk about the devil and how you cannot turn back once you have danced with him. The singer speaks of the return of the king and the circle of people around them. Overall, the song portrays the singer as someone who has been through a lot but has managed to keep moving forward.
