Overall Meaning

't the only thang that we bang out
Got the hammer, got the heater
Bangin' on these hoes like a speaker
Ride for my n****s, die for my n****s
When it's war time, I'm qualified to kill
Blow cash, get it right back
Real n****s do real things, huh

Tyga's lyrics in the song "Bang Out" are centered around the idea of survival and loyalty. The opening line "money talk so you know what?" implies that in the world he is living in, people are driven by money and material possessions. However, he clarifies that this isn't the only thing that they "bang out." He goes on to reference his gang tools, namely his hammer and heater, and compares himself to a speaker, suggesting the power and influence he has in his community.

As the verse progresses, Tyga's lyrics indicate the lengths he will go to for his friends, suggesting that he would both ride and die for them. He portrays himself as a soldier who is trained to kill, and asserts that when it comes to war, he is qualified to do so. Despite referencing money in the opening line, he emphasizes that real n****s do real things, indicating that his actions and character are more important than material possessions.
