Tut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's december and you're broke
and your kid just made a wish list
Packs ain't moving now you wonder where the lick is
And these girls came to party
they just wan' know where the liq is.
Dope boy ambitions when you gotta handle business
It's december and you're broke
Packs ain't moving now you wonder where the lick is
And these girls came to party
they just wan' know where the liq is
They act like they're your friends but they spyin on ya
My pain was never felt like a paralyzed patient
Lay me down in that holy water
Feel those rain drops dropping
Can't even trust my brother cause my mother say
That he ain't who he say he is
Keep your eyes open
cause them games they will try and play
And a wolf will still howl at the moon in sheeps clothing
Lay me down in that holy water
Shower me with riches
need discernment on these bitches
Cause these girls keep on plottin on us
Stirring up the waters
I'm just tryna catch some fishes
Life's a bitch tell me how she look
but come to think about
I don't think it even matters
You can follow me down to the brook
But if you strike the shepherd
all the sheep are gonna scatter
And he drowned in that holy water
On my way to heaven with a loaded mac 11
Keeping peace is what they never taught us
The devil keep on lurking
don't you listen to that serpent
(Guitar Solo: Taylor Freeman)
Dope boy ambitions
man you gotta handle business
It's december and you're broke
and your kid just made a wish list
Packs ain't moving now you wonder where the lick is
And these girls came to party
they just wan' know where the liq is
these girls came to party
they just wan' know where the liq is
(Guitar Solo: Taylor Freeman)
In "Holy Water," Tut raps about the struggles of being a dope boy or drug dealer. He talks about the pressure of having to handle business and make money, especially during the holiday season when his child has a wish list. The packs aren't moving like they used to, and he's wondering where the big score or "the lick" is. Even though girls come to party, they're really just interested in where the alcohol is. Tut also touches on the theme of betrayal, where people act like they're friends but are really spying on him. He can't even trust his own brother, and his mother warns him about fake people he may encounter. The lyrics convey the sense of paranoia and mistrust that comes with being a drug dealer.
Tut's lyrics also incorporate religious imagery, as he talks about laying in holy water and being showered with riches. He mentions the devil lurking and a serpent tempting him, reminding listeners of the age-old battle between good and evil. The holy water symbolizes a desire for redemption and cleansing from the sins of drug dealing. The lyrics ultimately convey the cost of living the dope boy lifestyle and the consequences that come with it.
