Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinking out the bottle, it's amazing ('mazing)
Shawty love them hood niggas, can't fake it (fake it)
I'm a hood nigga, can't fake it
This girl getting loose
(Getting loose)
Off the Goose
We gon' take a shot, call it salute (salute)
Hanging with the crew
Gotta keep the tool (damn)
If you want protection, I'ma show you what we do (what we do)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
And when I'm hitting it
I kill it, leave no evidence (evidence)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
Splashing Holy water on you
Now I'm blessing it (wait, wait)
Back then, she dubbed me, she said I look dusty
Dripped down in fashion, now I look like money (I look like money)
Rollin' Gelato, are we staying stanky (gas)
Ride with the gang and they stay with the glizzy
And my ring is Versace, so bitch, kiss my pinkie
Sipping so much lean, I'm losing my kidneys
She drink out the bottle, she get disrespectful
And when she on Xannies, she acting so cutthroat
Three days in a row, we was faded (faded)
Drinking out the bottle, it's amazing ('mazing)
Shawty love them hood niggas, can't fake it (fake it)
I'm a hood nigga, can't fake it
This girl getting loose
(Getting loose)
Off the Goose
(Off the Goose)
We gon' take a shot, call it salute (salute)
Hanging with the crew
Gotta keep the tool (damn)
If you want protection, I'ma show you what we do (what we do)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
And when I'm hitting it
I kill it, leave no evidence (evidence) (hah)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
Splashing Holy water on you
Now I'm blessing it (wait, wait)
Ay, woke up with a craving
Some new whips, some new bitch
Give me something that's too quick
Shawty know that I'm too rich
Why they always get too attached?
Blessing and a curse, true, fact
Nice girls turn to bad girls
And the bad girls don't ever last (ha)
French vanilla on the ice
Moroccan, they loving the spice
I see you want some advice
Nothing is free, pay the price
He at the pool, fuck all the rules, sticking to me like she rice
She out here living her life, party tonight, fuck all the rules
Off Ciroc
Ay, taking back these shots, we don't stop
And that delion, they know what I'm on
Only burn that jet fuel, baby, if it's strong
This girl getting loose
(getting loose)
Off the Goose
(off the Goose)
We gon' take a shot, call it salute (salute)
Hanging with the crew
gotta keep the tool (damn)
If you want protection, I'ma show you what we do (what we do)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
And when I'm hitting it, I kill it, leave no evidence (evidence)
You my medicine (you my medicine)
I call it heaven-sent (call it heaven-sent)
Splashing holy water on you, now I'm blessing it (splash splash)
The song "Salute" by Tyla Yaweh featuring French Montana is an upbeat hip-hop track that talks about three days of being faded and drinking out of a bottle, mainly Goose, which they describe as "amazing." The lyrics go on to say that the girl Tyla is with loves "hood niggas" like him and he can't fake being from the hood. He describes hanging out with his crew and having to keep his "tool" for protection. The chorus repeats that the girl is getting loose from drinking and they're taking a shot and calling it "salute." Tyla says that the girl is his medicine and calls her "heaven-sent," but then quickly goes on to say that he's leaving no evidence.
The song seems to be about partying and living in the moment, but also being aware of the dangers that come with it. They must keep their "tool" for protection, and Tyla mentions that the girl he's with can get disrespectful when she drinks too much. The line "You my medicine" could refer to the idea that partying and drinking are a form of escapism or medicine for someone's problems, but Tyla quickly ends that idea by saying he leaves no evidence. The chorus repeats that the girl is getting loose and they're taking shots, but it doesn't seem like there's any deeper meaning to the lyrics beyond just having a good time.
