Tyga Gudda Gudda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rollin wit my "yeah so?" hat to the back
Oh, you aint heard round town?
Young niggas strapped
Well Mike,
If you lose your life
Theres no coming back
Ive seen lots of lies
But check yo
Check d check
Blaaaa
Bruise blues and black
Never trust a loud mouth
Mama taught me that
Dont live the lifestyle
Son, If you cant pay for that
But shit you gotta spend the money
To get money back
And hurry till they cash you
Pictures snap
Sirens flash
Fuck an officer with a badge
Lets see your license motherfucka
That i dont have
Not even half of these niggas
Have had half of what I had
But i still wish that...
In the song "Better Days" by Tyga and Gudda Gudda, the lyrics talk about the harsh realities of life and how one must be cautious in their behavior in order to preserve their life. The opening lines "Better days, better days" indicate that the artists are hoping for a better life, possibly one without violence and danger. Tyga talks about wearing his hat backwards, which is a sign of disrespect or rebellion, but also could be a way of showing his independence. He then mentions rumors of violence in the community, warning listeners to be careful and watch their backs. The image of "fake smiles behind my back" implies that there are people who may seem friendly but are really out to harm others.
The second verse talks about the importance of financial responsibility. Mama's advice is to not live beyond one's means, but Tyga acknowledges that sometimes one must spend money to make money. He also mentions the danger of police brutality, suggesting that even if you are innocent, it can be difficult to escape unharmed. The final line, "But I still wish that..." leaves the listener's imagination to ponder what Tyga may be wishing for - perhaps the end of violence, or a brighter future.
