Going to the Party
The Allergies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
I'm a hit man boy
Making hits that go
Past midnight though, when I'm in town, bro
Your girl gon' feel that impact bro
Break her off like a Kit Kat though
I need to see u on the floor
That's the get down oh
Bottles in the air like a big glass dome
XOXO like tic tac toe
LB and The Allergies, instant funk
Real Japanese no sugar in my green tea
Inhale the vapor off of these trees
In the club peelin' off the paper like a Reesie's
Build up, drop it low, girl feel it deeply
Real world don't nobody eat free
Believe me corporations on some thievery
With my gang gang Allergies, no weak links
UK to The Bay
Party in these streets
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Going to the party
Party on 4th street
Pull up randomly
Just to have a drink
With a fat bag of weed
Fatter than a manatee
Supremely talented
On that we can agree
Party poppin' like the top on a can of peas
Oh yes he's Japanese
Pay my salary
That's just how it be
Bang like a tambourine
On the dance floor burning calories
Slap it in your Cadillac with extra batteries
Only for my day ones and my OGs
And my folks in the streets can't afford groceries
Be fightin' everyday holdin' on to those dreams
We want the whole pie
And not just a small piece
It's actually me
It's not a fantasy
Your girl tappin' me
To have a little fling
On 4th street
History happening

Carrying a large amount of marijuana
Fatter than a manatee
Significantly larger in size
Supremely talented

Slap it in your Cadillac with extra batteries
Playing loud music in your Cadillac car with additional power
Only for my day ones and my OGs
Exclusively for my long-time friends and original gangsters
And my folks in the streets can't afford groceries
Supporting and representing the people in the streets who struggle to buy food
Be fightin' everyday holdin' on to those dreams
Constantly battling challenges and holding onto aspirations
We want the whole pie
We strive for complete success and recognition
And not just a small piece
Not settling for minimal achievements
It's actually me
It truly is myself, not someone else
It's not a fantasy
It's not a fictional or unrealistic scenario
Your girl tappin' me
Your girlfriend showing interest in me
To have a little fling
To have a brief romantic affair
On 4th street
Referring to the specific location of the party
History happening
A significant event or moment is taking place
