Break it down
Traphik feat. Twankstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im in the booth just messin' around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Watch me as I break it down (like this)
Me and the boy Traphik, about to drop a classic
Big black guy and an asian dude
You gon' get that ass kicked
I think the hate me
Though I push love, peace, skeet, and cheese
That's one hell of a facial low
Groupies gettin' denied
Unless you bangin' Tim and Ricky
Shout out to D-Pryde
Don't know why they think he be beefin' with me
Got a lot of hate
Trumps everybody else
Cause everybody's favorite version is everybody else
Other than me, the quote on quote official winner
But if you were to Google me, You'll see I'm no beginner
Still in the race to fame, I keep it real, I'm no pretender
Cause the money I have earned from there
Wouldn't buy me a TV dinner
I got not beef with T-Pain
Though I'm livin' the same
Just tryin' to get my bank account
To catch up with me, man
My name, my beats stompin' like a migraine
Haters get off of my wang
Get it in wack rappers, You the furthest from my brain
Be weird, If I changed, Be scared, If I reign
Cause won't nobody be at the top but me, myself, and Irene
Cause I will sit on you
I really will, that's how the saga ends, that's how B O gets killed
The End, leave haters pissy like, D Pins
We win, the challenge over as soon as I begin
Tonight I'm goin' out in the town
And upload it to YouTube to show you how it goes down
Ayy, Tonight
Im in the booth just messin' around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Sit back as I break it down (like this)I got a pocketful of tots and a date with Lafonda
Some killer dance maneuvers and a grill that I shined up
Got to book a studio session and rap till my times up
Then I drop the latest single, everybody gon' line up
See I'm not worried about a deal, It's all politics
That royal penis clean baby, Come polish it
She call me daddy, every time I'm on top of it
But when I'm at the Maury show
The test results say the opposite
And when I'm cookin' a verse
Im never eatin', never sleepin', always puttin' in work
Tryin' to leave my legacy before im put in a hearse
And you know my family and my girl
I'm always puttin' them first
You might hate the way I do it, I'm not losin' my passion
Cause I'mma keep on crusin' till my Fusion gets crashed in
Or maybe trade my Fusion in and get me a Ashton
Either way you will not punk me
Don't confuse my with Ashton
Ayy, Tonight
Im in the booth just messin' around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Sit back as I break it down (like this) Break it down break it down baby sit back as I break it down

Ayy, Tonight
I'm in the vibe tonight
Im in the booth just messin' around
I'm just having fun in the studio
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Increase the volume and watch me improvise
Watch me as I break it down (like this)
Observe me as I show you how it's done
Me and the boy Traphik, about to drop a classic
Traphik and I are about to release a hit
Big black guy and an asian dude
We come from different backgrounds
You gon' get that ass kicked
Don't underestimate us
No racial bro
We're not about racism
I think the hate me
Some people dislike me
Though I push love, peace, skeet, and cheese
Despite that, I promote positivity
That's one hell of a facial low
It's a joke about a sexual act
Groupies gettin' denied
I ignore girls who only want me for my fame
Unless you bangin' Tim and Ricky
Except if you're friends with my crew
Shout out to D-Pryde
A shout out to another artist
Don't know why they think he be beefin' with me
Some people wrongly assume we have a feud
Got a lot of hate
I receive a lot of negativity
Trumps everybody else
It outweighs anyone else's hate
Cause everybody's favorite version is everybody else
People have different preferences
Other than me, the quote on quote official winner
I'm the only real champion
But if you were to Google me, You'll see I'm no beginner
My career history makes me experienced
Still in the race to fame, I keep it real, I'm no pretender
I stay authentic in my pursuit of success
Cause the money I have earned from there
Because I haven't made that much money
Wouldn't buy me a TV dinner
It's not enough to afford a simple meal
I got not beef with T-Pain
I have no conflict with T-Pain
Though I'm livin' the same
Even though we have a similar lifestyle
Just tryin' to get my bank account
I'm focused on making money
To catch up with me, man
To match my ambitions
My name, my beats stompin' like a migraine
My music is hitting hard like a headache
Haters get off of my wang
I don't tolerate negativity
Get it in wack rappers, You the furthest from my brain
I don't waste my thoughts on bad musicians
Be weird, If I changed, Be scared, If I reign
Expect the unexpected, but don't doubt me
Cause won't nobody be at the top but me, myself, and Irene
I'll be the sole king of my domain
Cause I will sit on you
I'll defeat my competition
I really will, that's how the saga ends, that's how B O gets killed
I'm determined to succeed and outlast others
The End, leave haters pissy like, D Pins
I'll have the last laugh against my critics
We win, the challenge over as soon as I begin
I'm confident in my abilities
I got a pocketful of tots and a date with Lafonda
I have some money and a romantic plan
Some killer dance maneuvers and a grill that I shined up
I'm confident in my dancing and my appearance
Got to book a studio session and rap till my times up
I have work to do in the studio
Then I drop the latest single, everybody gon' line up
I'm confident in my new music
See I'm not worried about a deal, It's all politics
I'm independent and don't care about industry politics
That royal penis clean baby, Come polish it
It's a joke about sex and power
She call me daddy, every time I'm on top of it
It's another sexual joke
But when I'm at the Maury show, The test results say the opposite
It's a reference to a TV show about paternity tests
And when I'm cookin' a verse
When I'm creating lyrics
Im never eatin', never sleepin', always puttin' in work
I'm dedicated to my craft
Tryin' to leave my legacy before im put in a hearse
I want to make a lasting impact
And you know my family and my girl, I'm always puttin' them first
I prioritize my loved ones
You might hate the way I do it, I'm not losin' my passion
Even if you dislike me, I still love what I do
Cause I'mma keep on crusin' till my Fusion gets crashed in
I won't stop until I reach my goals
Or maybe trade my Fusion in and get me a Ashton
Perhaps I'll upgrade my car to a nicer model
Either way you will not punk me
You won't intimidate me
Don't confuse my with Ashton
Don't mistake me for someone else
Break it down break it down baby sit back as I break it down
Relax and enjoy my performance

Guys, let's try to think outside the box a little bit. The song itself speaks about everything from sitting on haters to having tater tots in my pocket. Not everything has to visually be so literal. Think of some classic music videos, like the Radiohead video where he's just in a case getting filled with water or Blink 182 where they're runnig naked. In this case, it's a chill song so I put it with chill visuals.

It's a different game now, bro. Look at all the dudes who have been doin it as long as I have, Destorm, MysteryGuitarMan, etc.. all of our views dropped lol, you can't expect the same people to watch us for 7 years straight! Dudes like Ryan and Smosh are still shinin, but maintaining consistent viewership isnt easy! I'm just glad I'm on TV now lol
