Tyler the Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you please tell me what you know about skippin' 24, 25
'Cause your mom was at her 9-to-5
Still stacking up the dough
I was wrapping gifts age six with the paper bandanas
Mom was always honest, I ain't never had a Santa Claus
She was my amigo like my buddies from Atlanta
We was hopin' for a signal, too afraid to change the channel, yo
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag
Run up the back, you runnin' to that
I run off the back, you runnin' to that
I run up the back, you runnin' to that
I run off the back, you runnin' to that
That's a big step, snow boots
But it's hot in herre, '02
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Quick, fast, big Max with the big bag, I throw 'em
You stay up, get cake up
For new gifts I take 'em
You wake up like big mad (Where's my gifts?)
Roof to roof, I jump, I jump, I take, I take
It fills the void, I want, I want (More)
Way that I sneak in
I'm about as low as self-esteem when I creep in (Boy)
Don't make noise, my feet thin
I'm looking for the paper, same color my green skin
Toys what is on the list
When it comes to this, I'm too legit
Tell all them kids that he be the Grinch
When they ask who has type of heart to do this
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce
Big bag
It's me
At the beginning of the song, Tyler the Creator is reminiscing about a Christmas memory from when he was young. He is asking someone about skipping "24, 25." These are likely references to December 24th and 25th, which are Christmas Eve and Christmas Day respectively. He is asking if they have any memories from that time because he remembers his mother working a 9-to-5 job and still being able to stack up money to buy presents for him. Tyler says that he was wrapping gifts at age 6 with paper bandanas and that his mother was always honest with him, never pretending that Santa Claus was real. Despite not having a lot of money, Tyler's mother was always there for him like a friend, and he compares her to his buddies from Atlanta. Tyler and whoever he is talking to were hoping for some sort of sign, something on TV or the radio that would signal that Christmas was coming, but they were too scared to change the channel.
The rest of the song is about Tyler's experience as a "Grinch" who steals presents from people. The chorus repeats the phrase "Big bag, fill 'em up with the produce," which is likely a reference to the Grinch's sack that he uses to carry stolen presents. Tyler talks about running away from people who are chasing him and stealing presents from under their trees. He says that he takes these gifts in order to fill a void that he has inside him, and that he sneaks around like he has low self-esteem. He talks about being too legit to get caught and that people call him the Grinch when they find out what he's been doing.
Overall, the song has a nostalgic feel that brings Tyler back to his childhood. He is reminiscing about a time when he was innocent and believed in the magic of Christmas, but he contrasts this with his current self, who is jaded and steals presents from people.
