Troyman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got it
Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up
Yeah
Pulling caps way back (Way back)
At your noggin, choose another option (Choose another option)
Take 'em swimming, bring the waves back (Waves back)
Keep the beef like a butcher, watch 'em cook up
Parkinson, got 'em shook up, I got the hook up
Nigga, what you need?
(Ayy, bro, what you need, man? You know we out here all day and night)
Tell them niggas we don't know what sleep is, what's a weekend?
Goin mental with credentials, pockets on the deep end
Lil' shawty, I be freaking, we ain't speaking
I be out here tryna eat, but she just think I'm creeping
Fuck it though, we on the low low (Low low), dodging po-po (Po-po)
Even if I'm mobbing solo, never move in slo-mo (Slow-mo)
Take an L, that's a no-no (No-no), you should know, bro (Know, bro)
That he black out, shout to Kodak
You should take a photo, where the cheese?
Getting paid is all on my agenda (Damn right)
Throw these kids in the trash, shout out to Brenda (Woo)
Lying ass, they not what they seem like (What they seem like)
We be buzzing, posted like a streetlight
Motherfucking shining, yeah
You gon' need some shades, I have brighter days
Love pressure, I'm a diamond, yeah (Bling)
We gon' change your ways (Watch this, nigga)
Bitch, I been lyrical since umbilicals (Yeah, yeah)
I reached the pinnacle being cynical, yeah (Woo)
Vs on verses, this getting biblical (Praise God)
Hallelujah, I'm puffing that indigo, I know where I'm finna go
And that's where you not gon' be
Trending, got the light on me, uh (Got the light on me)
Tell me who the fuck is topping me? (Who, you?)
Green light, ain't no stopping me
Let's get it popping, G, like this (Yeah, yeah)
I'm going hammer, let's set a standard, uh (Woo)
Tell 'em suck on my banana in my pajamas, uh
Never feel 'em, if you don't wanna kill 'em, I will
They tryna shine, but they never pay they light bill, woah
Pulling caps way back (Way back)
At your noggin, choose another option (Choose another option)
Take 'em swimming, bring the waves back (Waves back)
John Tsunami, you don't want pastrami
Keep the beef like a butcher, watch 'em cook up
Parkinson, got 'em shook up, I got the hook up
Nigga, what you need?
(Ayy, bro, what you need, man? You know we out here all day and night)
Motherfuckin' shining
Motherfuckin' shining...
The opening lyrics of Troyman's "Streetlight" are bragging about his immense skill - "pulling caps" (shooting) and "keeping the beef" (starting trouble and maintaining it) are things he excels at. He describes himself as a "John Tsunami" and says he's got the hook up, meaning he's connected and respected in his community. The next verse is about his work ethic and desire for success. He claims to never sleep and to always be on the grind, and while he's out here trying to make something of himself, others assume he's sneaking around. The chorus repeats the line "we'll be buzzing, posted like a streetlight" which suggests that Troyman sees himself as a bright spot in his community.
The second verse is more about Troyman's personal accomplishments and skills. He's been lyrical and critical since he was in the womb, he's reached the top by being cynical, and he's got top currency in his community. He's confident and unapologetic in his success and dominance, and he's willing to take out anyone who steps to him. The final lyrics circle back to the chorus, repeating the first verse's assertion that he's bright and buzzing like a streetlight.
