Birds Take A Bath
T.I. Lyrics

What you gon' do when the money come
Asking the listener about their plans and actions when they become wealthy

I drop them birds in the water
Engaging in illegal activities by throwing illegal drugs into water as a method of transport and distribution

Hit me with ice and the soda
Requesting to be supplied with drugs and accompanying ingredients

Watch me go whip put that whipper
Demonstrating skill and precision in mixing and preparing drugs

Watch me flex up when they check up
Showing off and impressing others when they inspect and evaluate one's drug operation

Look like a mob cooking breakfast
Appearing powerful and intimidating, akin to a criminal organization, while actually preparing drugs

Soak 'em in like I bathe em
Submerging the drugs in water, metaphorically comparing it to bathing

Mucho murder with the coka
Engaging in violent criminal activities related to drug trafficking

Nigga, we move like the navy

Pussy nigga, keep my name out your mouth
Warning someone not to talk disrespectfully about or involve themselves in their affairs

Before all my niggas get reckless
Requesting that others refrain from provoking or causing their close associates to act rashly

And pull out popping, all loaded, infected
Threatening to use firearms that are ready to shoot in response to any conflict, implying that the weapons are dangerous and possibly illegal

Speaking like a reverend when I'm on the medic

Canon bought a bird in the pocket I got a specialist

LA fitness with the punk hell aesthetics
Engaging in illegal activities while presenting oneself with a tough and rebellious appearance influenced by punk culture

Then they disappear like it's magic ?
Suggesting that after their criminal activities, they quickly vanish without a trace, as if performing a magic trick

I take them shits out the plastic

Sipping on that money water got these bitches popping Xan

And takin' shots of the liquor

In the kitchen water with me taking back the fish
Performing drug-related activities in the kitchen, specifically rehydrating drugs that had previously been dried

And fuckin' up the possy and dishery heat the stove and put 'em
