Whiskey In a Bottle
Yelawolf Lyrics

Yeah
Beginning of the song, no specific meaning

Still on that ass like
Continuing to pursue a goal like being on someone's ass

Handcuff's up in ya like
Having control over someone like being handcuffed

Hand-puppets make a mute holla
Being controlled like a puppet, unable to speak freely

You should've jumped in that Impala homie
Refers to a missed opportunity, regretting a decision

Refrigerators never seen ice baby
Living in a deprived condition, without access to basic resources

Not vanilla, not a breeze on the hill
Not simple, normal or easy

Will make a flame grab a chinchilla
Demonstrates how uncommon things grab attention, even if they do not belong there

Quite like the words I built up to
Refers to the powerful message in the lyrics that will grab attention

Fuck guppies, I see food and I hush puppies
Refers to not caring about small things, only the bigger picture

So give me that king crap
Desiring only the best

And I'll break a shell
Confidently breaking through obstacles

You seen that?
Asking if someone saw what just happened

Well fuck 'em if he don't take it well
Not caring about other people's opinions or reactions

So crack the top off that hot, shaking ale
Getting ready to drink and party

And say "free young struggle" who's not making bail
Referring to someone in jail and hoping they will be released

He got popped by the feds
Referring to the person who went to jail

Fuck the cops! Take an L
Disliking the police and mess with them, even if they may suffer consequences

Fuck it take M-N-O-P, learn how to spell
No appropriate meaning

I'll pull up to the gate
Entering a new place or environment

And we'll skate on these country faggots
Leaving disapproving people or a situation

And until then, fuck 'em, they can have it
Not wanting something anymore, letting someone else have it

Slumerican means
A new word invented by the artist

Slum American breed
Referring to someone who came from the slums and is now an American

Gutter raised with worldwide dreams, yeah
Referring to someone who rose from the lowest places and is now known worldwide

Put your hands to the sky
Encouragement to lift one's hands

I'm a bullet in the barrel with a hair pin trigger now
Feeling dangerous, fast and uncontrollable

Yeah I'm a landslide
A force of nature, powerful and unstoppable

I'm a head case train wreck avalanche comin' down
Mental and social turmoil

I'm a ready made party
Describing oneself as a full package, someone to have fun with

I'm whiskey in a bottle now
Comparison to being matured and refined like whiskey

(Lalalalalalalalalaa)
No appropriate meaning

Still on that gas like
Continuing to push or work hard

The bottom of my signature shoe, 'Bama red
Describing the color of the artist's shoe

I'm on that ass like Alabama did LSU
Referring to winning a game, victorious

Goose egg, oh lord
Feeling badly about something

Bible Belt raised in your mouth like a cold sore
Feeling out of place in a certain religious environment

Rolled Ford's? Nah roll tide and roll Chevy's
Preference for a certain type of car

My momma rolls joints
Referring to a mother who smokes marijuana

Smoke rolls off of the tip
Describing smoke coming from someone's mouth when exhaling

Daddies a rolling stone
Referring to a father who is always traveling and not often present

I'm rolling in shit with these pigs
Being in a bad situation with bad people

In south side
Referring to a specific location

Who you rolling with in the sticks?
Asking who one is hanging out with in a rural area

With hair weaves and air streams
Describing people's hairstyle

Cigarette stained walls
Describing a place, dirty and neglected

Fuck, I can barely breathe
Feeling suffocated or uncomfortable

Spittin' shotgun pellets
Comparing one's words to bullets

Out of my fuckin' chili bowl
Referring to a specific object

But am I a Hill billy? No!
Rejecting a label or stereotype

I am the truth behind these fuckin' illusionist
Referring to the real message beyond the surface

Yellin' redneck, you about as red as the color blue is
Referring to someone who is not true to their image

Call me a redneck, and I just tattooed it
Embracing and claiming one's identity

Because of the abuse and I use it as therapy in music
Using music to heal and cope with negative experiences

So, put your hands to the sky
Encouragement to lift one's hands

John Deeres this yard is already cut
Referring to a neighborhood or environment

You can't get no work here, uh
Referring to job opportunities

You fags thought it was swag you was stealing
Referring to someone who tries to copy another person's style

It turns out I got no peers
No one can match the artist's talent

Just years of street smarts
Accumulating knowledge from life experience

So here you go retards
Insulting or belittling others

Come hit this bulls eye
Challenging someone or stepping up to a challenge

I'll give you three darts
Giving someone a chance

One, my last album flopped
Admitting a failure or mistake

Two, it wasn't my time
Acknowledging that something did not work out because it was not the right time

Three, my fuckin' mama's selling my pajamas online
Sharing a funny or awkward situation

But guess what?
Asking a rhetorical question

(I'm whiskey in a bottle now)
Comparison to being matured and refined like whiskey

Fuckin' right, I'm aged
Feeling mature or experienced

I'm dirty three, I'm not a child who plays with rap to get a piece
Acknowledging the age and experience of the artist

Don't clap, for no MC who's wack
Disliking other rappers who are not good

Then get a free slap
Threatening to punish or attack someone

Fuck out my car and I'm smashed in a Caprice
Kicking someone out of a car and being angry

I'm Jack sippin' still
Drinking whiskey

Whippin' wood wheels
Driving a car with wooden wheels

Truck on steroids
Describing the strength or power of a truck

Illegal to play ball
Referring to an unfair or bad situation

But dammit how good it feels
Feeling satisfied despite challenges or limitations

Drop that black card
Using a credit card that has no limit

Park in the backyard
Being extravagant or untraditional

Baby fire up the grill
Starting a barbecue or party

It's party time
Celebration or good times ahead
