He resides in College park right
But for right now

Verse 1:
Niggas in my face
damn near every day
aska million questions like Joc where you stay
tell 'em College Park
where they chop cars
In 20 grand spend a grand at the bar
Just bought a zone
J's on my feet
I'm on that Patrone so get like me
'69 cutlass wit the bucket seats
beat in my trunk ballin just for the freaks
Catch me in the hood
Posted by the store
pistol in my lap on the phone countin dough
If ya girl choose
let her do her thang
just like her mama nice ass nice brain
Everbody love me
I'm so fly
Nigga throw the dueces everytime i ride by
I know you wonder why
I'm so cool
Dont ask me just

Chorus 2x:
meet me in the Trap
it's goin down
meet me in the mall
it's goin down
meet me in the club
it's goin down
anywhere you meet me guaranteed to go down

Verse 2:
Verse number two
Do the damn thang
Cubes on my neck
Pocket fulla Ben Franks
when Im in the mall
hoes just pause
Pop a few tags gimme dat on da wall
time to flip the work
make the block bump
Boys N da Hood
Call me Black by my trunk
Dope Boy magic
7 days a week
number one record
long as Nitty on the beat
Ooh I think they like me
betta yet I know
LIghts, camera, action
when I walk through the door
Niggas know my crew we certified stars
Valet in the front bout 35 cars
Bitches in the back
Black in the coupe
Girls likin Girls
time to recruit
if you gotta problem say it to my face
we can knuckle up anytime any place

Chorus 2x:
meet me in the Trap
it's goin down
meet me in the mall
it's goin down
meet me in the club
it's goin down
anywhere you meet me guaranteed to go down

verse 3:
Time to set it off
Let these niggas know
Have they ever seen a Chevy wit them butterfly doors
I ride real slow no need to speak
gotta make sure they see the buckets on my feet
Feds on my trail they don't think I know
I keep my hands clean cuz i never touch do
Everytime I see 'em look 'em in they eyes
Ask me how I know? It's me surprise
Put it in the air rep where you stay
Take a step back blow the Kush in they face
stuntin is a habit
let 'em see the karats
I'mma make it rain nigga i ain't 'fraid to share it

Chorus 2x:
meet me in the Trap
it's goin down
meet me in the mall
it's goin down
meet me in the club
it's goin down
anywhere you meet me guaranteed to go down

Nitty:
Yea
Young Joc
Nitty strikes again
This a nitty beat Play maker




So So Def muthafucka
Beat fades out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trae feat. Yung Joc's song It's Going Down depict the glamorous and high-rolling lifestyle of two rappers named Nitty and Joc. The song is a catchy and upbeat tribute to the trap music sub-genre which originated in the southern United States, particularly in Atlanta. The song opens with Nitty introducing himself and Joc to listeners, emphasising the need to create a hit song. The opening verses describe the life of Joc, with people always asking where he stays and how he spends his money. Joc responds confidently, stating that he lives in College Park, where they chop cars and spend large amounts of money at the bar. He proudly boasts about buying a zone and having expensive J's on his feet, and how his beat is so good it's just for the freaks. Joc's message seems to be that he's here to live a luxurious lifestyle and to party hard.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Meet me in the trap" three times, each time followed by a different location: the trap, the mall, or the club. The phrase "the trap" refers to the place where drugs are produced, processed or sold. In this context, it's likely that the chorus is a double entendre, as the club or mall are also places where Joc and his crew hang out as well. The second verse features Joc rapping about his jewelry, fame, and wealth, and how women go crazy over him. He ends with a defiant challenge to anyone who has a problem with him. The third verse is all about Joc showing off his bling and driving style, while also laughing off the law enforcement that might be trailing him.


The song's mostly straightforward lyrics and upbeat melody provide a vivid portrait of life in the trap scene. It's a world of cars with butterfly doors, buckets of money, and 7-day work weeks. It's also an unflinching recreation of a life where danger, glamour and wealth collide, and where the party never stops.

The cops are watching me, but they don't suspect that I'm aware of their scheme. I never get involved with the drugs, so there is no dirty evidence that can condemn me. Whenever I meet them, I look into their eyes and notice if they are aware of me; however, they can be surprised to know that I already know I'm under their radar.
