Sasquatch
Tyler the Creator & Earl Sweatshirt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soared to Taco Bell and I ordered some gorditas (Mmm, that's good!)
Wanted four more, ordered 'em, didn't eat 'em
Then head to Thebe's house for some gymnastics
Fantastic, I backflip on this beat B
Cause we running shit like the Dingleberry's on four cheetahs
Flow colder than Papa Joe's or Domino's (Fuck it, whatever, um)
Trashwang scratched inside the knucks
Drive by with puppy signs plastered on the truck
Then see how many of they fans could fit inside the trunk
Move over the microwave and the cannabis
Try to take the van and the whole band to Canada
Fuck the block news and the venues, they can't handle us
They can't stand us including fruits that Frank's channeling
The Ku Klux Klan see me and my managers
But thank me when they ask where the Five Panels is (fuck)
Man, I suck now, I ain't still dope (nope)
But Chris and Rihanna's fuckin' again so there's still hope
Oh fuck, I went there, balling bitch, I'm Ben's hair
Y'all barely breaking like Taco's self-esteem in a thin chair
Old Navy bitches love this gap, yeah this grin's rare
Watch a nigga smile like five-year-old child
I'm kicking it with Nak and the nigga from Green Mile, it's
Red Bull in this cup so a nigga may seem wild but
That's just all the sherm I was burning a little while ago
Don't let me get hold of that rifle
Shout my nigga Sage Elsseser and Sean Pablo
Surrounded by them niggas that skate with a sick style
And some freckled bitches with giant peaches that's vile
They never did catch that rhino
Squadron full of some lost souls
Sergeant of all, it's autumn and Nak just nollied a pothole
Non-cooperative with his momma's wishes for college
And coppers labeled a problem since paying for Damianos
So shimmy through the swamp, nigga, follow me through the foxholes
Moral Orenthal with a pretty bitch in a Bronco
Hopped right off the seven and stumbled into some Vatos
Threw a punch, got jumped, dusted off and then walked home
Shit, it's like 6 p.m. and his temple throbbing
Hand in the cabinet by seven, sniff the prescription oxies
Logo in the boxes, all my niggas hostile
Cautious of your crosses, scoffing at your doctrines
Bitches augmented stupid as the group is
Only slightly, write precise to get a pussy nigga two chins
Man these stitches shut the loose lips, stumbled in a Ruth's Chris
Slid into a booth and hid the luggage from his shroom trips
See, Lionel ball with Leonardo on the weekend now
And Maui on a scenic route, we on the second season now
Small fry got 'em seasons salty, weeded, coughing
Ease up off me, end is breathing easy as bulimics barfing
From a different breed of doggy, from a different seed and cloth
And teeing off, believe it's Golf Wang, nigga
In the first verse of "Sasquatch," Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt dive into a whirlwind of references and personal anecdotes. The opening lines touch on the theme of reputation, with Tyler sarcastically mentioning a reputation of "whore beaters" before transitioning to a lighthearted scene of ordering gorditas at Taco Bell. The nonchalant attitude towards food and the humor injected into the lyrics set the tone for the rest of the verse.
As the verse progresses, Tyler and Earl showcase their lyrical prowess with clever wordplay and intricate rhyme schemes. References to backflips on beats, Dingleberries on four cheetahs, and flow colder than Papa Joe's or Domino's demonstrate their ability to play with language and create vivid imagery. The verse takes unexpected turns, mentioning One Direction tickets, driving with puppy signs, and contemplating taking the van and the whole band to Canada.
The lyrics continue to touch on a range of topics, from societal commentary on the Ku Klux Klan to playful jabs at pop culture figures like Chris Brown and Rihanna. Tyler's self-deprecating humor shines through as he acknowledges shortcomings while still finding humor in darker subject matter. The mention of Red Bull, sherm (a powerful hallucinogen), and a rifle adds a sense of unpredictability and danger to the narrative.
Earl Sweatshirt's verse delves deeper into themes of rebellion and nonconformity, painting a picture of a young man navigating tumultuous circumstances. References to lost souls, avoiding college, and confrontations with authority figures create a sense of defiance and resilience. The verse transitions seamlessly between introspective moments and gritty scenes of confrontation, showcasing Earl's ability to blend personal reflection with vivid storytelling. The final lines celebrate individuality and a sense of belonging within a unique community, reinforcing the theme of camaraderie and solidarity that runs throughout the song.

You are barely making it, like Taco's low self-esteem in a flimsy chair
Old Navy bitches love this gap, yeah this grin's rare
Girls who shop at Old Navy love this gap in my teeth, it's unique
Watch a nigga smile like five-year-old child
See a guy smiling like a happy child
I'm kicking it with Nak and the nigga from Green Mile, it's
Hanging out with Nak (Earl Sweatshirt) and someone reminiscent of the character from The Green Mile
Red Bull in this cup so a nigga may seem wild but
Got Red Bull in the cup, may seem energetic
That's just all the sherm I was burning a little while ago
That's just the effects of the animal tranquilizer (sherm) I consumed earlier
Don't let me get hold of that rifle
Don't give me access to that rifle
Shout my nigga Sage Elsseser and Sean Pablo
Giving a shoutout to friends Sage Elsseser and Sean Pablo
Surrounded by them niggas that skate with a sick style
In the company of skaters with a unique skateboarding style
And some freckled bitches with giant peaches that's vile
Also with some freckled girls with large buttocks that are attractive
They never did catch that rhino
They never captured the mythical rhinoceros they were in pursuit of
Squadron full of some lost souls
Group filled with individuals who feel lost
Sergeant of all, it's autumn and Nak just nollied a pothole
Leading the group, it's fall and Nak (Earl Sweatshirt) just did a nollie over a pothole
Non-cooperative with his momma's wishes for college
Ignoring his mother's desire for him to attend college
And coppers labeled a problem since paying for Damianos
Police consider him troublesome since he dealt with certain issues
So shimmy through the swamp, nigga, follow me through the foxholes
Navigate through the challenges, come with me through difficult situations
Moral Orenthal with a pretty bitch in a Bronco
Ethical decisions similar to O.J. Simpson with an attractive woman in a Bronco
Hopped right off the seven and stumbled into some Vatos
Got off the bus and encountered some Latino men
Threw a punch, got jumped, dusted off and then walked home
Threw a punch, got attacked, brushed it off, and went home
Shit, it's like 6 p.m. and his temple throbbing
Damn, it's 6 p.m. and he has a headache
Hand in the cabinet by seven, sniff the prescription oxies
Rummaging through the cabinet by seven, snorting prescription oxycodone
Logo in the boxes, all my niggas hostile
Branding on the boxes, all my friends are aggressive
Cautious of your crosses, scoffing at your doctrines
Careful of your religious symbols, mocking your beliefs
Bitches augmented stupid as the group is
Girls enhanced, as foolish as their group
Only slightly, write precise to get a pussy nigga two chins
Just slightly aggressive, writing accurately to intimidate a weak person
Man these stitches shut the loose lips, stumbled in a Ruth's Chris
These replies silence the gossips, ended up at a Ruth's Chris steakhouse
Slid into a booth and hid the luggage from his shroom trips
Entered a booth and concealed the baggage from his hallucinogenic mushroom experiences
See, Lionel ball with Leonardo on the weekend now
Now watching Lionel play basketball with Leonardo on weekends
And Maui on a scenic route, we on the second season now
And Maui on a picturesque road, currently on the second phase
Small fry got 'em seasons salty, weeded, coughing
The newcomers get upset easily, high, and coughing
Ease up off me, end is breathing easy as bulimics barfing
Back off from me, I am relaxing as much as bulimics vomiting
From a different breed of doggy, from a different seed and cloth
From a unique background, distinct in nature
And teeing off, believe it's Golf Wang, nigga
Starting and playing golf, confidence in the Golf Wang brand
