O… Read Full Bio ↴On “Boom” Token teams up with Dreamville Records' rising star JID.
On January 5, 2022 Token previewed the song on his Instagram. A week later, he shared a picture of the two of them together, revealing that they made the music video for the song.
“Boom” was originally previewed on October 21, 2020 through a now deleted TikTok video. The original version of the song originally featured AngryReactions, also known as Oneya.
Rico Nasty, who appeared earlier on the album on “High Heels”, also makes an uncredited appearance on the song with a few ad-libs after Token makes a wordplay with her name.
"I did this one right after "Chit Chat“. I think it all came from the same pack Ronny J sent me. This one, like "Chit Chat“, just represented fun and freedom. Back then I was just trying to have the best time I could have. It was right before the highs got too high. "Pink is better but I get redder with the heat close.“ Those gun sounds represented the "heat“ to me. The heat rising and getting more intense is an idea seeded throughout the whole album. That’s really how I was feeling. JID and I had talked about working back around when my last project came out but nothing made sense until this one. I almost got him on "Chit Chat“, but I’m happy it was this one instead."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got hoes tryna get me in a room, room
I get low when they hit me with the zoom, zoom (Oh my God, Ronny)
I got the fours and the semis and the deuce, deuce, like
She wanna jump in the back, feel like a poncho
Leave with a couple of scratch outside the castle
Keys, I don't know what they are, I just click shit
Weed in a couple of jars is for the homies though
Least five bitches look at me like I'm their Romeo
Knee high boots, I think she 'bout to join a rodeo
Levi's tighter than a knot when you board the boat (fuck)
Board the boat, co' flow, four below, lil' mixed bitch, she a (Oreo)
She used the DiGiorno, flew her out to Milan
Now she take a pic of every place we 'bout to eat on, we on, man
What the fuck is it, really?
Came a long way from takin' two trains to the city
Two chains to the tity, Wu-Tang to the C.R.E.A.M.
Liu Kang 'cause she flew two legs for the kitty, feel me?
Roll through the city with the vroom, vroom
I got hoes tryna get me in a room, room
I get low when they hit me with the zoom, zoom
I got the fours and the semis and the deuce, deuce, like
Boom, boom
Boom, boom
(Uh) Boom, boom (look, dawg)
Boom, boom (uh, look)
My brother finna get it in blood, and you gotta pay for
Finna hit the bank in a minute to get a bank roll
Jiddy a idiot, just a nigga like the Django
But got the doot-doot-doot-doot to kill Thanos
I'm doing my thang though
Don't be thinkin' I'm playin'
No animation to animal and my nature is a beast
And no nation lil' crazy nigga runnin' 'round naked
With his stick, takin' shits, servin' fiends out the vacant
By the basement, niggas lookin' outta space
I been outta place the wrong time and the right state of mind
Tryna multitask the page to a dollar sign
'Fore they tore my tag, she thought it was a taser
I don't know karate, so I must be ka-razy
Nigga what's crackin'? What's poppin'? What's cravin'?
If you cross my dawg, nigga been barkin' all day and
I keep a K9, it got the power like Kanan
Roll through the city with the vroom, vroom

I get low when they hit me with the zoom, zoom
I got the fours and the semis and the deuce, deuce, like
Boom, boom
Boom, boom

Top-top of the line, I feel like Pluto
Drop-top in the mine, right next to Hublot

Made her boujie, now she wants the sushi with the pico (yeah)
Freaky lil' bitch, she wear choker like she emo (yeah)
Lick her in the body, body feels like it's a hero (yeah)
Hit 'em and they end up with a stitch without the Lilo (whoa)
On my baby like Tito, but she horny after Henny
If I sold a couple hoodies, could afford a new Bentley
Empty cups around the room, I guess we're pourin' too many
Tryna cop the suicidals like my door's too heavy
Tryna cop another crib, it's like the one I got broke
Got her bouncin' up and down like she jumpin' jump rope
Drum hittin' like ba-ba-bam, ba-ba-bam, ho
Pink's better, but I get redder with the heat close
Roll through the city with the vroom, vroom
I got hoes tryna get me in a room, room
I get low when they hit me with the zoom, zoom
I got the fours and the semis and the deuce, deuce, like
Boom, boom
