The Boys From the Bottom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang!)
Spend ten racks on a new chain
My bitch love do cocaine, ooh
I fuck a bitch, I forgot her name
I can't buy a bitch no wedding ring
Rather go and buy Balmains
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang!)
Spend ten racks on a new chain
My bitch love do cocaine, ooh
I fuck a bitch, I forgot her name, yeah
I can't buy no bitch no wedding ring
Rather go and buy Balmains, aye
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang
My lean cost more than your rent, ooh
Your mama still live in a tent, yeah
Still slanging... Clap them cheeks giiiirl
The Boys From the Bottom's song "Clap Them Cheeks" features provocative lyrics that exude sensuality and display an unapologetic attitude towards sexual pleasure. In contrast to the booming trap beat and cutthroat ad-libs that accompany them, the lyrics are simple and straightforward. They depict the rapper's desire to engage in sexual activity with a woman, emphasizing the physicality and intensity of the experience.
The opening lines of the song make reference to the popular hip-hop idiom of name-dropping luxury fashion brands, with the repeated chant of "Gucci gang." This relates to the idea of superficiality and materialism in hip-hop culture, where brands like Gucci represent status and wealth. The lyrics also mention the rapper's lavish spending habits, such as dropping "ten racks on a new chain," and his preference for designer clothing, saying "Rather go and buy Balmains."
The chorus of "Clap Them Cheeks" features the provocative command to "clap them cheeks," which is a crude way of saying to engage in sexual activity. This crude language shows how the song breaks societal norms, rules and boundaries, and exposes the performer's desire for intimacy with another person. Overall, "Clap Them Cheeks" is a song that unashamedly celebrates the pleasures of the flesh.
