"group b random song from last week has nothing to do with igor".
The title “GROUP B” refers to a set of rally cars that were banned in the mid-1980s due to their dangerous high-speeds. This is referenced on the cover of the single which appears to be the hood of a Lancia, possibly an 037 Stradale or a Delta Integrale, both prominent cars of the Group B racing class. Tyler also mentioned his interest in vintage rally cars in an interview with Funk Flex.
GROUP B
Tyler the Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ayo, bucket hat like I'm Gilligan
Hit Wallace, I just ordered a Cullinan
Milkin' the cow, what are you niggas uttering?
Churnin' the butter, sensitive niggas cryin'
Steppin' in puddles in them new (them new Giannos, nigga, come on)
The team I'm assemblin', you tremblin'
Fumble and we comin' in, tacklin' your empire
It's Robert crumblin'
One nom? Huh, shit is humbling
I'm a fucking JumboTron, Juggernaut, you a G?
No, you're not, new balloon, watch it p-
Concave on a skateboard
Don't do surfboards, I don't ride waves
Been around forever, Murray's Pomade, nigga
Been like a decade, yeah, shut up, uh
Ayo, keep it buck, I switch up
You niggas don't, that's why you stuck
I needed seven figures, hit Australia, pick it up
Find some young twink and get my nipples sucked
Bad yellow bitch look like pimple pus
Bad chocolate bitch look like Lionel knuckles
Y'all got too much baggage and I pack light, Louis trunk
Luggage double C, emeralds double V
Uni tee, but the sweater vest is me
Lemonade, elder flower with the rose
Sony read up, I'ma split it with the bro (yeah)
Yeah
Niggas like, "Act ya age, T, you trippin'"
Pushin' thirty, but the skin say different, well
If I act my last deal, I'm prolly twelve
Niggas on, nigga set a lob
Then they hurt themselves, niggas Cheddar Bob
Foot is on the gas, I ain't letting off (skrrt)
Every car is gas, pissing Greta off
And they Group B and the leather soft
And I knew the cow, and he better off dead
One take
It's like seven AM
The opening line references popular TV show Gilligan's Island, with Tyler the Creator sporting a bucket hat similar to the lead character, Gilligan. The next line refers to a Cullinan, a luxury SUV made by Rolls-Royce, implying Tyler has recently ordered one. He then shifts focus to a metaphor concerning milking a cow, which represents him creating something unique, whilst his critics merely follow the trend. The next line talks of people crying, indicating individuals who are sensitive and cannot appreciate his artistic expression.
Tyler goes on to describe his followers and their loyalty as they huddle together, referring to himself as a Juggernaut, which is unstoppable. Using a skateboarding metaphor, Tyler describes himself as having a unique style, refusing to follow a trend as surfers do with waves. He references the fact he has been in the game for a decade and uses a pomade called Murray's, which has been around since the 1920s. He then ups the tempo, talking about the need for money, and alluding to his promiscuity, suggesting his next sex partner should be a young "twink" who sucks his nipples. He goes on to describe two women, one "yellow," and one "chocolate," insinuating their physical appearance.
Tyler then describes his desire for wealth, shown through his acquisition of expensive luggage brands such as Vuitton and Chanel. The next line, "Uni tee, but the sweater vest is me," implies he does not need to be part of a group, referencing his individuality. He then describes his drink preference, with lemonade and elderflower, then mentions an agreement with his friend 'Sony' to share profits. Tyler talks about people telling him to "act his age," but his appearance suggests otherwise. He goes on to describe himself as being of a young age, followed by the next metaphor:
The final lines refer to Tyler being part of Group B, known in rally racing, where there are no limits, hence the phrase "foot is on the gas." Tyler mentions being "Cheddar Bob," a character from the movie "8 Mile" who accidentally shot himself, suggesting others may try to keep up with him but never succeed. Every car is the "gas," with "Greta" referring to Greta Thunberg, a youth climate activist who is known for chastising people for using fossil fuels. Tyler references Group B rally cars, made to be lightweight and fast with minimal rules, hence the line "the cow...better off dead." Tyler creates a metaphor, suggesting he's also pushing limits, defying rules, and breaking boundaries while staying true to himself.
