French
Tyler The Creator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got all the black bicthes mad cuz my main bitch vallina
She tryna to get her groove back like stella, grab the umbrella
When it comes to your perception of my shit I'm hellen keller
When it comes to the perfection of my shit I know you smell the RECTUM
I'm like a chromosome I always ex 'em
Like wolverine steps in attackin' a deadly weapon
I'm openin' a church to sell coke and Led Zeppelin
And fuck Mary in her ass ha ha yo
I'm fucking Goldilocks up in the forest
In the three bear house eating their muthafuckin' porridge
I tell her it's my house, give her a tour
In my basement, and keep that bitch locked up in the storage
Rape her and record it, then edit it with more shit
Octopussy special effect, the wet bitches be banging
And please never disrespect my set with cannon
Hanging from my neck like it's a muthafuckin' circus

You little niggas better check my French
You getting money better check my French
Ahh, what time is it, huh? Check my French
If you cop my shit you better check my French, muthafucka
Im makin' moves check my French
I speak English but check my French
Your hoe be on my penis she check my French, bitch

I guess I left my dignity up in the cupboard
Cause every girl im digging, when im digging in her pussy
Im never using a rubber
But fuck it I guess I gotta steach it out like it was flubber
And leave it drippin' green and red like it was double cheese buggers
Chewin' on cum like bubble gum from hubbard
This bitch knew dick like Bubba knew shimp
(Laughing)
Yo Im seventeen, already sniffin' blow
I tell my friends its asthma every time I start to itch my throat
I got a new show for MTV, "Pimp My Boat"
Because some bitch said my semen was dirty, that's silly ho
The most that they can do is find me, Im hiding
Somewhere where Chris Stokes cant find me
Oh no Mister Stokes I don't like misters no
Don't tell R. Kelly where my sister goes

You little niggas better check my French
You getting money better check my French
Ahh, what time is it, huh? Check my French
If you cop my shit you better check my French, muthafucka
Im making moves check my French
I speak English but check my French
Your hoe be on my penis she check my French, bitch

Yo you little niggas better check my french
I got all stars and you can check my bench
Left Brain super three
Creator Ace puttin' the expressions in music and create the face
Of the picture, punchline figured out ahhh I get you
No you don't nigga so why don't you go figure
You seem confused anyway, pressure enough?
You the type to do the choke when the pressure is up
The pressure is to pump and pressure is us
Bitches havin' eargasms and the pleasure is us
Niggas wanna B.O.F. and write letters to us
Competition's competition, yo you better than us?
Digest what Im sayin'? I don't think so
We sick shit, throw it up down in the sink yo
The odd niggas are beginning to spill these pink hoes
We think sorta odd so we think so

Crusin' in my go kart at Walmart sellin' cupcakes
Go ahead admit it faggot this shit is tighter then buttrape
That evolves Ballpark franks and silver duct tape
Pornos and hormones and boxes of DiGiorno




You homos is loco your prolly drinking Cuervo
With some vatos with the door closed watchin' zorro you homos

Overall Meaning

In Tyler the Creator's song French, he employs controversial, explicit and offensive lyrics to showcase his unique style of rap. The song starts with a boastful statement about his girlfriend, who is supposedly more desirable than other black women, which causes those women to have negative feelings towards him. Tyler then makes use of wordplay to differentiate between the perception of his music and the perfection of it, claiming to be oblivious to how his music is perceived by others but still being confident of its quality.


He then makes wild statements about opening a church to sell drugs, having sex with a fairy tale character, raping a woman and filming it, and sniffing cocaine, all of which aim to outrage, shock and provoke his listeners. The song also includes a section where Tyler addresses his critics and asserts his rap skills and abilities. In the final verses, Tyler throws a series of insults and derogatory slurs aimed at his listeners and ends the song on a provocative note.
