Spitfire
Tyga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wire taps, y'all some grown liars
I'm Julius with Cleo betting on my empire
I'm busy in the jet, like a Spitfire
Grandiose in the house, looking like Granada
I'm pops to your daughter's daughter
Want my head like Pompeii, the Roman rider
I write you off like a speed infraction
I'm through with all the talking
Your misery got bad company
Fuck all y'all been
It's LK, symbolic
All the shit I embody
You might get shot, but Johnny's driving nice cars
Tryna park it, don't you holla if it ain't my Gualla
Growing up where I'm from, iPhone to get you towed on
Located in bankroll, my niggas weight the dome
The shit I've waited for ever since Brenda Song
Told you that I'd make-make it home, motherfuckers
This ain't no ball game, mad ruckus
More like the Rucker, more like Christchurch, mother
Teresa cash, credit and visas
Not the car, but the passport feature
Need the passport if you're riding with the asshole
Tell her no bags, we shopping on tour, freak
We make a nice cold week and if you ass caught creeping
I'm balanced on the poppers, if I stop won't tell who dropping
I'm topic of discussion when it's who young with the money
I'm here, motherfuckers
I hear my name from the bleachers
But I'm too busy reaching
Looking up to deceased kings
Long live the last king, Martin had a dream

And it's me
Busy in the jet like a spitfire
Julius built my empire
Y'all some grown liars
Busy in the jet like a spitfire
Julius built my empire




Y'all some grown liars
Y'all some grown liars

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tyga's "Spitfire" signify his dominance and power in the music industry, juxtaposing the theme of betrayal and dishonesty that prevails in the industry. He compares his lifestyle to the Spitfire plane, which signifies speed, agility, and precision. The plane is also used as a metaphor to describe his life, that is fast-paced and always moving. He believes in building his empire like Julius and his wife Cleopatra, one of the most powerful rulers in history. Here, the reference is used to symbolize his grandeur and claim to greatness.


Tyga also talks about his reputation and how he is always in the public eye. He means that he is always in the spotlight and how the media constantly tries to portray his image differently. He has powerful connections, and that's why his detractors envy him. Pompeii and "the Roman rider" are allusions to history, showcasing his knowledge in the subject. He also points out that he doesn't have time for small talk and is done with false promises and lies.


In the next verse, Tyga talks about his hometown's harsh reality, where owning an iPhone alone could get you robbed. He raps about his wealthy lifestyle and how his money can buy him all the luxury in the world. He emphasizes the fact that money is the key to success and that his success was inevitable since his childhood. He calls himself the "topic of discussion," highlighting his popularity, youth, and riches. The reference to Martin Luther King's speech indicates that he's made it big in his industry and will continue to thrive.
