Token Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay, okay
Ayy
I walk on stage and I act like
Pastor was my past life
Throw some water on the crowd now
Bitches think they got baptized
Why she hugging me that tight?
She just told me I'ma handsome devil
Hmm, baby you half right
Hop off the stage then right to plane, my life is a whirlwind
The ass on the stewardess make me wonder why I gotta got a girlfriend
I fly out a chick from my city, show her how pretty the world is
If she don't say "Thank you" I fly to France and leave her in Berlin
Good guy in a bad mood, I don't really drink but realistically I start soon
This is not a hit for the radio to start to whole lotta popcorn, baby get the Smartfood
In the dark room I just wanna fuck a little, she just wanna argue
This the only way to get rid of my stress, so if you don't fuck you don't care about me yet
Hold secrets like I hold these chicks
You don't get them from me (Okay)
NDA in my DNA, I don't tell nobody (Okay)
Siren on the car like I'm 'bout to help somebody (Okay)
FIB to the FBI, I don't tell nobody
Hold secrets like I hold these chicks
You don't get them from me (Okay)
NDA in my DNA, I don't tell nobody (Okay)
Siren on the car like I'm 'bout to help somebody (Okay)
(Ayy) FIB (ayy) to the FBI (ayy) I don't tell nobody (ayy)
Everybody wanna know my home base (Home base)
Keep it on the low, you gotta locate (Locate)
Look up all the bodies in the cold place
Put it to your dome, get out my domain
Kill 'em in the morning like I'm OJ (OJ)
Kill 'em in the morning with my OJ (OJ)
Wicked what the fuck I let my clothes say
This ain't Obey, this is Dolce
Gone with old ways, gone with old days
Phone is cracked now, lost my phone case
Fuck your due dates, tell 'em I'm on
All the time like Guantanamo Bay
Aloha baby, como estas, como esma, time to rotate
Find a new girl, she falling for me, I fall but don't break, the domino way
This my shit, we called in, told my girl that we all in
But you can't mean the world to me, I went and seen all of it
This my shit, happy with it
Been a bit of time since I asked permission
Rather do it anyway and ask forgiveness
If I fuck up, it was accidented
Hold secrets like I hold these chicks
You don't get them from me (Okay)
NDA in my DNA, I don't tell nobody (Okay)
Siren on the car like I'm 'bout to help somebody (Okay)
FIB to the FBI, I don't tell nobody
Hold secrets like I hold these chicks
You don't get them from me (Okay)
NDA in my DNA, I don't tell nobody (Okay)
Siren on the car like I'm 'bout to help somebody (Okay)
FIB to the FBI, I don't tell nobody
(Okay)
The song "FBI" by Token begins with the artist reflecting on his identity and past, claiming that he used to be a pastor in his past life. However, he immediately shifts gears, boasting about his energetic stage performances that leave young women in the audience "baptized" by his sweat. He then describes his jet-setting lifestyle, where he flies around the world and invites women to join him, or leaves them stranded if they don't show enough gratitude for his generosity. Token admits to being a "good guy in a bad mood", and that sex is the only way for him to alleviate his stress.
The second half of the song deals more with Token's desire for privacy and protection, as he warns listeners that he holds secrets tightly and doesn't let anyone into his inner circle. He references an NDA in his DNA, revealing his penchant for legally binding contracts and non-disclosure agreements. He even goes as far as to say he wouldn't even tell the FBI anything if he were in trouble, referencing the titular agency in the song's title. Overall, the song paints Token as a conflicted character, content with his success and celebrity status, but also wary of those who might seek to exploit him.
