Creep Fast
T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Twista come this way, c'mon, we gotta creep fast, c'mon
Watch as I hit it through the middle of the city in a Chevy
And I'm ready with the woofers that'll flip your block
And I got the tick and a machete for the niggas actin' petty
Get to talkin' an' I'm a heat up your block
If you wanna bring your boys
Better bring the noise
I'm a pump both up with ammunition
Bodies I be hittin' when I get to spittin' everybody
Shoulda broke and ain't nobody listen so now I
Roll and 24s when I'm on your tip
They don't know who I am ain't no body talkin' shit
Tell me when did they ever think that I was a hoe
'Cause I got killas with me, Crips, Bloods, G's and folks
And we be focused on the paper when we be up in the kitchen
When we thinkin' about the money on the steady come up and I got the niggas
That be ready for whatever with a whole war chest if a nigga run up
AK 47, Desert Eagle, SK, Mac 11 for the niggas that'll try to run up
Nigga what ya want I'm a bone thug get you while your sleeping
Cause you know I'm creepin on ah come up
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Quit the playin' nigga and get over on the Twista I'm a see you when I see you
And I wouldn't want to be you
Got the desert eagle
When I'm rollin' in the regal
And I'm lookin' at you evil
Through the eye of a needle
Not a misdemeanor
But a murder with a millimeter
Feel the heat of Twista when I'm bustin' at your whip
I get a burglar when I be comin' for your shit
I'm a get you for your goods when I run up in your crib
Tell me where your jewelry at
Where your safe
Don't make me have to smack this ugly bitch in her face
Is it behind the portrait or is it
In your floor just let me know so that I can hit it up
'Cause I gots to go
'Cause I gotta throw it so I had to lick on them niggas
'Cause it used to be that if I had to hit 'em I'ma get 'em
Never ride a burgundy Lamborghini Murcielago through the city
Because I know that'll kill 'em
Averagin' a 100 yards a game
My competition' better back up
I'm the e running back
Niggas that ain't ready get the machete
For the lyrical Jason of rap i'ma keep comin' back
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
The lyrical assassin the pocket I got in
I be attackin' the track
And I got a package of the good
See a legendary representa for the city
'Cause I put it down ever since I been rappin' in the hood
17 years of goin' and flowin'
And showin' these niggas when it come to beatin' me nobody could
I was spittin' venom ever sense the days U-G-K been rappin'
And talkin' about puttin' diamonds on the wood
Pullin up in a old Cadillac before I got some thangs
And I got that gwap and the numba one spot now I ride a range
And because I spit that crack is the reason we got some change
And if we ain't makin' money off rap then we got them thangs
Got the 8 dollar hollas two for 15's
A 4 and a split a nine piece so you can hit the whole brick
How I win it by makin' a 100 every summer
Pullin' up in the hummer can make a nigga so sick
How we constantly come up with hits and steady be gettin' fans
Is only because a nigga flows sick
Showin' no debate everybody know I'm great
Any muthafuckers that hate can suck my dick
Motherfuckers actin' like they don't know me
But they know just who I am, I'm a motherfuckin' killa gorilla nigga
You better act like you understand
'Cause I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
Motherfuckers actin' like don't the deal
But they know just what to do
Everybody talkin' in the streets so you know that I'm comin' straight for you
I'm a killer, a mass murda, the realest nigga that you ever heard of
In T-Pain's song "Creep Fast," he collaborates with rapper Twista to create a hard-hitting, aggressive track that boasts about their street reputation and criminal activities. The song opens with a call to action, urging listeners to join them in "creeping fast" through the city streets. The lyrics describe a dangerous lifestyle involving guns, drugs, and robbery, with Twista detailing his readiness to use violence against anyone who crosses him. Throughout the song, T-Pain and Twista assert their dominance and warn their enemies to stay out of their way, with aggressive lyrics like "I'm a killer, a mass murder, the realest nigga that you ever heard of."
The lyrics of "Creep Fast" draw heavily on hip-hop's "gangsta" genre, which glorifies criminal activities as signs of masculinity and strength. This is a common theme in many of T-Pain's collaborations with rappers, where he often takes on the role of a hook artist providing his signature auto-tuned vocals to complement the aggressive verses of his collaborators. The song's lyrics also reflect the tough, streetwise reputation that both T-Pain and Twista have cultivated throughout their careers.
Interestingly, despite its violent content, "Creep Fast" was not as commercially successful as some of T-Pain's other collaborations with rappers. The song did appear on the Billboard Hot 100, but only peaked at number 89. Nevertheless, it has remained a popular track among hardcore hip-hop fans and is often cited as a highlight of T-Pain's discography.
