Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)

Yeah, huh
Life is like a motherfuckin' dream (like a dream)
Fill my double cup up with some lean (with some lean)
Yeah, put my dick in your bitch spleen (bitch spleen)
Yeah, racks comin' in evergreen (evergreen)

Yeah, hold up, let me pop my shit
Pussy nigga talkin', we gon' leave him in a ditch
I'll kill my brother, pussy nigga, if he snitch
I was outside bein' bad with the Grinch
Nigga, bad with the Grinch

Yeah, yeah, trappin' out the motherfuckin' Ritz
Yeah, movin' bales, nigga, yeah, movin' bricks
Fuckin' on his thot and that bitch a redbone (redbone)
Yeah, yeah, put the bitch on (on)

Fuck nigga, yeah I ain't singin', Post Malone, uh
With the gang, we keep a .57 (bah-bah)
And you know we keep some MAC-11s

Child of God, I'll send your ass to heaven

Yeah, huh
Life is like a motherfuckin' dream (like a dream)
Fill my double cup up with some lean (with some lean)

Overall Meaning

Trippie Redd’s song The Grinch is a highly controversial and polarizing work, as it mentions some very violent and disturbing themes. It starts with the rapper commenting on how life is like a dream and how he fills his double cup with lean (a highly addictive cough syrup-based drug) while expressing his intention to sleep with someone’s girlfriend or partner. He also talks about a constant flow of money coming in, “evergreen”.

But the most controversial part of the song comes later, where he boasts that he and the Grinch were both outside being bad together, essentially meaning that they were committing crimes together. The lyrics imply that he would kill his own brother if he snitched, showing how he has no loyalty or regard for anyone but himself. The song ends by him repeating the same lyrics as before, about how his life is like a dream, and how he’d leave anyone who gets in his way in a ditch.

It is safe to say that the lyrics of The Grinch have received a lot of criticism from listeners, who feel that the song glorifies violence, drug use, and morally degenerate behavior. Yet, the song is quite popular due to its catchy flow and upbeat music. It has also been co-signed and supported by other rappers like Playboi Carti, who features Trippie Redd in his own song, "JumpOutTheHouse". It is an interesting case study of how controversial lyrics can still be very popular, especially in the hip-hop world.
