The Fly Who Couldn't Fly Straight
Westside Gunn Lyrics

Yeah
Introductory line with no specific meaning

Yo, Gunn, I'ma, I'ma just, I'ma just fuck around
Opening line from a friend/witness during the recording that doesn't add any value to the song

I got soul, niggas, ain't gon' hide
I have a unique character and won't deny it, unlike others who try to blend in

Think you that big stepper, fuck around, get your ankles tied
If you think you are a big shot and mess with me, I will bring you down and restrain you

I'm hot, boy, I'm from the depths of Hell where you can't survive
I have lived a rough life and survived it, which makes me strong and untouchable

A cold day feel like a good oven when bakin' pies
I am used to extreme conditions and can adapt myself to any situation

I'm in that bitch chillin' like I sang about you were mine
I am relaxed and composed in any situation, just like when I sing a love song

You got it bad
A reference to the Usher song "U Got It Bad", which has no specific meaning in the context of the song

You ain't gotta call me or hit my line, just "Brrr, hello?"
You can contact me in any way you want, even with a simple phone call

The doc said I need tranquilizer
I am too energetic and need to calm down, just like the effect of tranquilizers

New .40 got so much room
The new gun I have is spacious and has room for a lot of bullets

And still inside, man "How you doin'?" (Bitch)
Even though I am carrying a gun, I am still friendly and ask how people are doing

Bunny hop off me when the money stop and check the ring
People who benefit from me only stick around when there is money involved, and check my jewelry to know my status

See the blue moon like some runnin' cops
An uncommon sight like a blue moon can be compared to cops chasing you

Check the doors, doors butterfly like when tummy drops
The opening and closing of car doors can create a feeling in your stomach just like a rollercoaster

T with that Westside Gunn, you get ya' momma pop
Collaborating with me will get you way more popular, just like how moms love me

(FLYGOD) All red, lindell specs
An introduction of his alter ego, Flygod and a mention of his red Lindell glasses as a part of his style

Lookin' like seven Jessy Raphael in the stretch Corvette
Looking like a celebrity with seven Jessy Raphael-like glasses in a luxurious sports car

Peace love, ayo, I'm kosher with the AK (Grr)
A greeting to his listeners and a reference to being at peace with carrying an AK-47

My shooter in Louisia'
A person who shoots for him resides in Louisiana

Yo Dominique, goin' twenty years vacay
A reference to a friend or rival Dominique who is going to jail for 20 years

I been on my own dick, fuck whatever they say
I am confident in myself and don't care about what others think or say about me

I ain't calm, legend master my perfection
Although I am not calm, I am a master of my craft and make everything perfect

Killin' shit effortless
I am so good at what I do that it seems effortless

God-level flow, love the trench coat Vetements
A reference to his high-standard rap skills and love for the trench coat fashion brand Vetements

For fiends supreme Pyrexes for measurements, devilish
Fiends use Pyrexes to measure drugs, and I use the best quality for them

Thousand round drum, fun, your head spin
A reference to his gun's drum magazine capacity, which is so high that it could make someone's head spin

Exorcist, treacherous
A reference to the movie "The Exorcist" and the danger he presents to his rivals

If I was on that, niggas'll get slimed out
If people mess with me, they will get in trouble and get caught like the slime in a Nickelodeon show

Like egg yolk, I got some contacts that take your eyes out
Just like egg yolk can make someone's eyes watery, he has connections (contacts) that can harm others

I don't play, that boy on timeout, the Cartier crash
He doesn't joke around and punishes his rivals, even if it means crashing his Cartier watch

I blew the tires out then hopped out
He ditched his car after blowing its tires out due to his reckless driving

Like Leapfrog David, I'm out my mind now
Just like David in the game "Leapfrog", he is unpredictable and out of control

Got too much paper, went overtime, and I ain't sign out
He has a lot of cash and works more than expected, without taking any breaks or resting

I'm that boy, if you need proof, press the rewind now
He is that guy, and if you need proof, check his past work and listen to it again

Or go get a MAG, go get lost nigga
If you don't believe him, go get a gun magazine and distract yourself

And find out, I'm out here
If you have any doubts, you can find out yourself that he is still active and doing his thing
