Gravy
UGK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, if you know like I know you would get down on the flo'
I keep a magnum for they back and I keep a swisha full of dro
We can get down for my dime and we can fuck on the low
And if you didn't want a pimp then what'cha fuckin' with me fo'?

Every lady ain't a hoe and every hoe ain't my bitch
It take a real trill nigga to recognize this type of shit
Every girl around me legit, I don't fuck around with no punks
Ride with me she holdin' a pistol while I'm whippin' and poppin' the trunk

We gon' blow a lot of skunk and we gon' make a lot of bread
And we ain't never gon' have no problems
Long as she hear what the fuck I said
Pimpin' ain't dead it just moved to the west side
Still like to get my dick sucked under the street lights

I'm Tony Snow, I'm out here livin' by the code
In love with a lifestyle, not no bitch I'm in that mode
I'm lookin at you, you choosin' me my dick head never stop
I'm Pimp see bitch, I'm superstar, we headed to the top

I'm stayin' true, I'm out here whippin' my Mercedes
Fuckin' with the midnight ladies, the game is cold but it's gravy
I'm bangin' Screw, my young girl lookin' fine
We stayin' out here on the grind and keepin' money on our mind

Well, I'm certified official, authentic and the real McCoy
Guaranteed to blow the spot when I'm in it, gotta feel ya boy
100 percent, real Bun be I represent
Trill with that gangsterass persona so hard that it can dent

Still in the hood 'cause it needs me and the corner it feeds me
So I eat all I want, my reputation precedes me
If you grimy or greasy then your best step be easy
'Cause that forty-feezy leave you leakin' fo' sheezy

Trigger fingers I squeeze see and the cannons is bust
Them bullets blow by you breezy like a midsummer gust
It'll put your dick in the dust, when I put one up in your dome
You be leakin' out plasma and puss and your mouth'll fill up with foam

So you gotta go hard or go home, either be a boy or a man
Gotta pay the cost to be the boss or you take a loss understand?
Gotta play the hand that you're dealt that's until it's yo' turn to deal
Otherwise you get it how you live, I could give a fuck how you feel

I'm stayin' true, I'm out here whippin' my Mercedes
Fuckin' with the midnight ladies, the game is cold but it's gravy
I'm bangin' Screw, my young girl lookin' fine
We stayin' out here on the grind and keepin' money on our mind

I'm Pimp see bitch, I'm from the South
This scary hoe don't wanna know what it's about
'Cause I stay country true down to the co', dick good like uncut blow
In your nose, in your jaws, feel it tighten up, don't stop, don't pause

Candy nigga drive candy cars, fuck the D.A., fuck the law
I fuck the snow but I love a pro like flat backers I'm a Cadillac'er
On parole well I'm a pistol packer, drugs sold, powder jacker
Get with me if she a money stacker, bitch around me man I'ma mack her

From the land of cheap work and steady licks
With pounds of dro' and Impala bricks
We grind to eat and eat to live
This shit for real, these ain't no tricks

With 36 hoes to the ki'
And ten kilos grams in the sack
And 15 sacks up in the trunk
Now that's one point five mill' worth of crack

It's Big Dick Cheney, Tony Snow
The King Committee is now in session
Today's agenda, get that dough
'Cause the clock is tickin', time is pressin'

No second guessin', make your mind up
Step your grind up and get that pay
Gotta sell your ass or a nigga blast
If you wanna roll with that UGK

I'm stayin' true, I'm out here whippin' my Mercedes
Fuckin' with the midnight ladies, the game is cold but it's gravy




I'm bangin' Screw, my young girl lookin' fine
We stayin' out here on the grind and keepin' money on our mind

Line by Line Meaning

Uh, if you know like I know you would get down on the flo'
If you're familiar with the culture, you'd get down and dance


I keep a magnum for they back and I keep a swisha full of dro
I carry a gun for protection and marijuana to smoke


We can get down for my dime and we can fuck on the low
We can have sex discreetly for a small amount of money


And if you didn't want a pimp then what'cha fuckin' with me fo'?
If you didn't want a pimp, why are you associated with me?


Every lady ain't a hoe and every hoe ain't my bitch
Not every woman is a prostitute and not every prostitute is mine


It take a real trill nigga to recognize this type of shit
Only a genuine authentic man can understand this


Every girl around me legit, I don't fuck around with no punks
All the women I'm around are genuine, I don't associate with weak men


Ride with me she holdin' a pistol while I'm whippin' and poppin' the trunk
She rides with me and holds a gun while I drive and open the trunk


We gon blow a lot of skunk and we gon make a lot of bread

As long as she listens to me

Fuckin' with the midnight ladies, the game is cold but it's gravy
Sleeping with prostitutes at night is a tough game, but it's worth it

I'm listening to DJ Screw, and my young date looks great

I'm Bun B, and I truly represent myself and my beliefs


Trill with that gangsterass persona so hard that it can dent

Still in the hood 'cause it needs me and the corner it feeds me
I'm still in the neighborhood because it relies on me, and the corner provides for me


So I eat all I want, my reputation precedes me
So I eat all I want, my reputation is already established


If you grimy or greasy then your best step be easy
If you're shady or shady, you should be careful around me


'Cause that forty-feezy leave you leakin' fo' sheezy
Because my gun will leave you bleeding for sure


Trigger fingers I squeeze see and the cannons is bust
I quickly shoot the guns, and they discharge bullets


Them bullets blow by you breezy like a midsummer gust
The bullets easily pass by you, like a light summer breeze


It'll put your dick in the dust, when I put one up in your dome
It'll put an end to your bravado when I shoot you in the head


You be leakin' out plasma and puss and your mouth'll fill up with foam
You'll be bleeding and foaming at the mouth when you're hit


So you gotta go hard or go home, either be a boy or a man
You have to put in the effort or leave, either act like a child or a grown-up


Gotta pay the cost to be the boss or you take a loss understand?
You have to pay a price to be in charge, or you'll suffer a loss, got it?


Gotta play the hand that you're dealt that's until it's yo' turn to deal
You have to play the cards you're given until you get to control the game


Otherwise you get it how you live, I could give a fuck how you feel
Otherwise, you'll get what you have coming to you, I don't care about your emotions


I'm Pimp see bitch, I'm from the South
I'm a pimp, and I'm from the southern part of the country


This scary hoe don't wanna know what it's about
This cowardly prostitute doesn't want to get involved


'Cause I stay country true down to the co', dick good like uncut blow
Because I stay true to my rural roots, and I have great sex like uncut cocaine


In your nose, in your jaws, feel it tighten up, don't stop, don't pause
In your nose, in your mouth, feel it tighten up, don't stop, don't pause


Candy nigga drive candy cars, fuck the D.A., fuck the law
Wealthy people drive expensive cars, I don't care about the District Attorney or the law


I fuck the snow but I love a pro like flat backers I'm a Cadillac'er
I use cocaine, but I prefer prostitutes like flat-backed Cadillac drivers


On parole well I'm a pistol packer, drugs sold, powder jacker
I'm still on parole, but I carry a gun and sell drugs


Get with me if she a money stacker, bitch around me man I'ma mack her
If she has money, connect with me, I'll seduce any woman around me


From the land of cheap work and steady licks
From a place where work is inexpensive and thievery is frequent


With pounds of dro' and Impala bricks
With marijuana and large quantities of cocaine


We grind to eat and eat to live
We work hard to survive and use the money to sustain ourselves


This shit for real, these ain't no tricks
This lifestyle is legitimate, it's not a game or a scam


With 36 hoes to the ki'
With 36 prostitutes to a kilogram


And ten kilos grams in the sack
And ten kilograms of cocaine


And 15 sacks up in the trunk
And 15 bags of drugs in the car trunk


Now that's one point five mill' worth of crack
Now that's worth 1.5 million dollars of cocaine


It's Big Dick Cheney, Tony Snow
It's an expression comparing themselves to powerful, influential men


The King Committee is now in session
The group is now operating as a governing body


Today's agenda, get that dough
Today's objective is to make money


'Cause the clock is tickin', time is pressin'
Because time is running out, and it's important to act fast


No second guessin', make your mind up
Don't hesitate, make a decision


Step your grind up and get that pay
Work harder and earn more money


Gotta sell your ass or a nigga blast
You have to either sell yourself or get shot


If you wanna roll with that UGK
If you want to associate with UGK
