Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nigga that's what it is
I run the left side of the map
And that's what it is
My homie got that pack
And that's what it is
If you ain't trying spend that hot box
Then that's what it is
And act like a bitch
I'm the one that get the money
And pass it out to my clique
'Cause everybody know I'm rich
Everybody everybody everybody
Know I'm rich
Put the squad on my back (Squad)
Google maps will tell yo ass where its at
Backseat full of bitches
You can say a nigga riding with that Mac
Oh, life still krazy
New born baby
Niggas I don't know still hate me
Facts, never tripping
Personal message to them niggas
I'm shit on ya vicious
My word is bond
My word is bond
My word is bond
My word is bond
My word is bond
My word is bond
My word my word
My word my word
My word my word
My word my word
My word my word
My word my word
My word is bond
If I said I got 'em then I did that
Said we gon' profit and I did that
My career you wanna follow 'cause I did that
Your favorite top model, I done did that
Had to put the black gates where I live at
Shooters on deck try to pull up you gon' get jacked
Mind of a maniac
Since I got popped, I purchased about 50 straps
If I mention yo name, I probably put you on
So I ain't talkin' bout no orders 'til the contract closed
Lookin' in the mirror like am I wrong?
Nah its business nigga don't take it personal
They gave a game and my money
So when it get ugly shit ain't funny
Promise I'mma make it, hate me or love me
And I promise I'mma stay the same with this money
My word is bond
My word is bond, my word is bond
My word is bond
My word is bond, my word is bond
My word my word
My word my word, my word my word
My word my word
My word my word, my word my word
My word is bond
If I told you I rep Bompton nigga, then that's what it is
If I failed to push the line nigga, then that's what is it
Bow down in that situation, I been with the shit
I'm the one niggas watch so y'all know what it is
My blique ain't going nowhere, my niggas started this shit
Saying everything but B's, now they industry bang
Niggas better get credit or get hit by the gang
And it really is Bompton, fuck who's dissing my name
Sounding good on these tracks, steady calling my phone
Going to get you a hit, and leave a nigga alone
'Cause the shit y'all talk gon' have you sleeping alone
When I fire, I fire, I'm try'na tip that dome
Really with the shit, fuck who tryna play me
Really off the screws, nickname from the homies

The lyrics in YG Slim 400's song Word Is Bond boast of the rapper's high status and unwavering credibility in the gang world. He asserts that he is in control of the left side of the map and is rich, expressing his confidence that everybody knows it. Slim 400 then brags about carrying his team on his back, equipped with Google Maps as to where they’re at, and a Mac while riding around town with a car full of girls. He stays grounded despite his wealth, wishing to earn even more and remain loyal to his squad. Slim 400 asserts his unbreakable loyalty, indicating that if he made a statement or promise, he would uphold it because his word is bond. He also pays homage to his hometown of Bompton and the gang culture that has defined his life.
The rapper's lyrics have captured the essence of gang culture and the immense pride that Slim 400 has in the community. The song melody has a heavy focus on drum beats with a sample of Kanye West's sound layered across the instrumentals. The song's music video is filled with gang-related clothing and sporting traits, bold-colored items referencing the Mexican flag, and grills on teeth, all familiar to West Coast hip-hop videos. The song was a precursor to the DJ Mustard era of West Coast beats and became a staple on the radio and clubs, eventually finding an audience outside of Southern California.
