BagBak
Vince Staples Lyrics

This is for my future baby mama
This song is dedicated to my future partner and mother of my children.

Hope your skin is black as midnight
I celebrate and appreciate blackness, and hope my partner has dark skin like the night.

I'll take you out that Honda
I can provide for my partner and upgrade their standard of living by getting them out of a Honda vehicle.

I can put you in a Benz
I can provide luxury and material possessions for my partner, such as a Mercedes Benz car.

I can balance out your chakras
I can bring healing and balance to my partner's spiritual energy centers.

Fornication is a sin, we can fuck all night regardless
I acknowledge the religious taboo against sex outside of marriage, but still want to engage in sexual activity with my partner.

Our father art in heaven, as I pray for new McLarens
I make reference to The Lord's Prayer, while also expressing my desire for expensive and luxurious cars.

Pray the police don't come blow me down 'cause of my complexion
I fear being killed or harmed by law enforcement due to my dark skin color.

Everybody think they know me now
People believe they have a solid understanding of who I am as a person now that I am famous.

'Cause I'm chicken-checkin'
I am cautious about people who approach me or claim to be my friend, because I don't know their true intentions.

Negro, you are not my homie
I am dismissing someone who claims to know me well or claims to be my friend.

How dare you think it's different
I am insulted by this person's assumption or claim that they are different and know me better than anyone else.

Boy, you trippin'
I am expressing my disbelief and annoyance with this person's comments or behavior.

Gas break 'n dip, the cash came, I flipped
I earned money through illegal means and quickly spent it on material possessions and experiences.

And stacked that, yeah I stacked that past the ceiling
I saved and amassed a large amount of money, possibly in cash, up to the point where it could no longer be stacked.

So sacrilegious, don't ask to chat
My actions and success go against societal norms, and I don't want to engage in small talk or conversation with those who don't understand it.

And don't ask for pictures, bagbak I'm trippin'
I am irritated and agitated, and don't want to take pictures or interact with others right now.

(Bagbak, better back, back, you don't know me)
I am warning others to back off and reminding them that they don't really know who I am.

Boy I'm buoyant, we are
I am energetic, successful and confident, and I am joined by others who share these qualities.

Floating on them peons
We are rising above and surpassing those who were once considered superior or more successful than us.

Go in 'til they take my bro'nem out them CDCRs
I will continue to succeed and work hard until my friends or brothers are no longer incarcerated in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Prison system broken, racial war commotion
The U.S. prison system is flawed and racially biased, leading to conflict and tensions in society.

Until the president get ashy, Vincent won't be votin'
I will not vote in any presidential election until there is a significant change or improvement in the country's politics or leadership.

We need Tamikas and Shaniquas in that Oval Office
We need more diversity and representation in politics and leadership, specifically in the highest office in the United States.

Obama ain't enough for me, we only getting started
Barack Obama's presidency was not sufficient or satisfactory for me, and there is still much progress and work to be done.

The next Bill Gates can be on Section 8 up in the projects
The next successful business or technology innovator can come from a low-income housing project, challenging and defying societal expectations and stereotypes.

So 'til they love my dark skin
Until society fully values and accepts people with dark skin color, I will continue to fight for my rights and success.

Bitch I'm goin' all in
I am fully committed and dedicated to my goals and aspirations, and will do whatever it takes to achieve them.

Clap your hands if the police ever profiled
I am calling for solidarity and awareness among those who have experienced racial profiling or injustice at the hands of law enforcement.

You ain't gotta worry, don't be scary 'cause we on now
We have achieved success and power, and no longer have to fear or be intimidated by those who used to oppress or discriminate against us.

Ain't no gentrifying us, we finna buy the whole town
We will not be displaced or forced out of our communities by gentrification, and instead want to acquire and own the entire town.

Tell the one percent to suck a dick, because we on now
I am declaring our triumph over the wealthiest and most powerful members of society, and asserting our own success and influence.

Tell the government to suck a dick, because we on now
I am expressing my defiance and anger towards the government and institutions that once oppressed us, now that we have power and influence.

Tell the president to suck a dick, because we on now
I am calling out the current political leadership in the United States for their shortcomings and failures, and asserting our own success and power.

We on now
We have achieved success and power, and are in a position of influence and strength.
