Bout to Get Fruit Punched Homie
The Wonder Years Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been peddling sugary drinks to all the little kids for weeks
Spending late nights at the factory
Making fat stacks for my family
But now my wife's been getting shady
That trick-ass mark don't call me baby
I'll sit by the window sill and if she's got another man
Then juice will spill
Thought I had people I could trust like my boy, Captain Crunch
I know he'd never do me like that, behind my back
I found her mouth all cut up, and his hat in the corner
Yo, homes you don't know what I'm capable of

Before Kool-aid picks me up
I ran blocks, I sold rock
G's up, hoes down and I have all these snitches stomped
Then I grew up
And got a real job peddling drinks to all these little snobs
And if you think that I fell off
Then watch you're back before you get popped

I'll disconnect the Captain's neck
And make him wish that he was dead
I'll disconnect the Captain's neck
And make him wish that he was dead
I'll smash your skull like a crunch-berry punk

Thought I had people I could trust like my boy, Captain Crunch
I know he'd never do me like that, behind my back
I found her mouth all cut up, and his hat in the corner
Yo, homes you don't know what I'm capable of





So keep my name out your mouth, son

Despite his efforts to turn his life around, he still has violent tendencies and is willing to harm those who betray him. The lines "I'll disconnect the Captain's neck, And make him wish that he was dead" and "I'll smash your skull like a crunch-berry punk" suggest that the singer is willing to resort to extreme violence to protect his honor.


The lyrics of the song suggest a sense of anger and frustration that comes from being betrayed by someone close, which the singer is unwilling to tolerate. Despite his efforts to move on from his criminal past and become a law-abiding citizen, he is still haunted by his previous life and has violent tendencies that he can't seem to shake off.

I was peddling sugary drinks to all the little kids for weeks, 
spending late nights at the factory, 
making fat stacks for my family, 
but now my wife's been getting shady. 
That trick-ass mark don't call me baby. 
I'll sit by the window sill and if she's got another man, 
then juice will spill. 

Thought I had people I could trust like my boy, Captain Crunch. 
I know he'd never do me like that, but behind my back, 
I found her mouth all cut up, and his hat in the corner. 
Yo, homes you don't know what I'm capable of. 

Before Kool-aid picked me up, 
I ran blocks and sold rock. 
G's up, hoes down and I'd have all these snitches stomped. 
Then I grew up 
and got a real job peddling drinks to all these little snobs 
and if you think that I fell off 
then watch you're back before you get popped. 

I'll disconnect the Captain's neck, 
and make him wish that he was dead. 
I'll disconnect the Captain's neck, 
and make him wish that he was dead. 
I'll smash your skull like a crunch-berry punk.

Saw them play most of this album in 2008. Still one of my crowning achievements in life

Logan Wolfe

I really wish they didn't hate this album. This song hits me so close to home lyrically I'd kill to hear it played live.

future shock

this mix sounded fine to me, why they'd want to remix it and polish it up reeks

TheUndeadMew

God I wish this album was on Spotify

Paola BreadWater

This is punk rock to me. I know people tell me otherwise all the time, but to me punk isn't a sound, it's an attitude and a feeling. This gives me that feeling squared lol

Grim Shadows

👍

JC Denton

Now this is what I call easycore. I didn't even know their first album was pure easycore. This is awesome stuff.
