Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me tripping feel like swimming in a damn pool
Hitting licks ask about me I was skipping school
I ain’t saying that shit was cool I had to make a move
Pop a bean sip a red bull
Got me tripping feel like swimming in a damn pool
Hitting licks ask about me I was skipping school
I ain’t saying that shit was cool I had to make a move
I’m high as a plane no one with me in the cock pit
Kicking Johnny cage got some guns but ain’t gone stop this
Go the other way gotta show me that you pop shit
Muddy in a sunny D these niggaz ain’t me
30 Shots a leave that nigga dead the beef in the streets
Only hollows bitch who fuck with M I mean who fuck with D
Big Bro coolin so he claim a C I'm M know how it B
Mix that swamp in wit a minute maid that’s like 1 and 3
They ain’t on it they hoe as can be i just slide and ski
He want extra that’s gone cost a fee bodies drop for me
He ain’t gone but I want em gone I won’t aim for knees
I told her ain’t no loving me but now she bugging me
Big D1n3ro wit the foolishness I love them .223s
Send a couple right there thru his spine and some might hit his spleen
For my peoples do the grimy hits
They still don’t know the means
Don’t tell em I get busy
In a jiffy
Thinking of the mans murder thoughts and they convincing
They think that’s its pussy til I’m fucking on they sissy
A hunnid In the safe another hunnid for some semis
Moms gone be protected even if these niggas get me
Riding through the barroll how it’s smoke if I’m existing
Niggaz calling Feds won’t take long I’m out the precinct
Mooler Man D1n3ro won’t be gone won’t be extinct
These niggaz acting pussy so I’m knowing how a bitch think
Even as a kid pouring mud I had a thick drink
Smoking in the whip so I call that shit my think tank
Foe threw some gas that shit musty yea shit stank
Shit crank Gotta leave my mama wit a Big Bank
Bitch can’t bitch can’t get no time so I just go blank
The lyrics of String Quartet No. 1's song III paints a picture of the street life and survival. The rap depicts the lifestyle of someone who is deeply immersed in a life of crime and danger, someone who has to make difficult decisions in order to survive on the streets. The first lines, "Pop a bean sip a red bull, got me tripping feel like swimming in a damn pool" possibly connotes the use of drugs to intensify the adrenaline rush that comes from committing crimes. The rapper goes on to describe how he had to hit licks (rob people) to make money, which indicates that he did so out of necessity rather than choice. He further emphasizes that he isn't glorifying crime and its accompanying danger but rather depicting it as a means of survival.
The second verse is where the rapper gets into the nitty-gritty of the streets. He talks about the need to protect his mother from any danger that may come his way, indicating that he may have a lot of enemies he has made through his criminal activities. He also depicts his readiness to carry out a hit on anyone who threatens him or his loved ones, emphasizing his readiness to use lethal force in violent altercations. The lyrics are vivid and raw, painting a picture of a life that is colored by uncertainty and danger.
