Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Niggas say they fuck with you, I can't tell
500,000 dollar Chevelle
How he got bricks and birds for retail?
How he got 100,000 worth of belts?
These bitches and these niggas know that they can't play around here
I call the spot elementary cause I keep a K around here
All my Hatians if you play they make you grady baby
I might shoot you in your head and then it's no more thinking
Pussy boy I'll leave you dead and call it dead-ication
I put Act inside my drink, they call it medication

Hold up, pull up, roll up, pour up
Ounce it in a soda
Push up on your bitch and shawty I didn't even know her
Seed it, put out, throw up, realest one I ever seen
ATL, call it XXL, cause we stay spittin' shells outta long magazine
Real nigga got a crown, better own that thing
If the game got a throne, bet I'm on that thing
Blood dope dealer and a well known King
And a killer 'pending on how you put your spin on things
You know how many suckers get ahead I've seen?
Bout the same amount of pussy niggas dead I've seen
You know how many bitches in the bed I've seen?
They like asking me how much bread I've seen
More than enough, in God we trust
You love a real nigga then fuck with us
But if you got a problem with it then fuck, what up
It be ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Got your bitch riding everything but the bus
She let me put it everywhere but the butt
I always tell the bitch don't talk so much
She said "Who I'm hidin' from?"
What the fuck, for what?

Niggas say they fuck with you, I can't tell
500,000 dollar Chevelle
How he got bricks and birds for retail?
How he got 100,000 worth of belts?
These bitches and these niggas know that they can't play around here
I call the spot elementary cause I keep a K around here
All my Hatians if you play they make you grady baby
I might shoot you in your head and then it's no more thinking
Pussy boy I'll leave you dead and call it dead-ication
I put Act inside my drink, they call it medication

Man I'm leanin' so bad, I can't do a push up for a million
(Lean, lean, lean, lean, lean)
Catch a nigga baby mama, make her give me nothing but ceiling
Never had time to wrap and cap
And doubt the trap my ice a lamp
I can't adapt, I'd rather slap
I read the pop, it's capped in naps
His mom is out, his dad is capped
2004 I was screaming everything, Gucci no Big Cat
And we was scannin' the ride with them cases of all these big racks
Fuck a officer, Akon what it do bruh
Keep these fuckin hoes off of you
When you get some new money turn up uh
You gon' wish you would've or could've
Sit down and get rich like a booker
Might drop the top up off it
If I don't get into the helicopter
Feeling like I'm on a blue dolphin
Nigga roundin' round with like hella choppers
Every time I need new surgery, I gon call her my head doctor
5 more thousands cause she ain't got no hair problems
Yeah, all my niggas they be bleedin' niggas
They ain't gon' never cheat a nigga
Pop her while I'm in the latest season, nigga
I'ma bag her every time I see her, nigga
Fishing hoes with my hook
Pockets on swoll, no book
Glasses on, she don't know how I look
Since I'm on, how the fuck do I look?
You ain't got no milli, you can't tell me how I look
I'm a big old Blood over here

Niggas say they fuck with you, I can't tell
500,000 dollar Chevelle

All my Hatians if you play they make you grady baby
I might shoot you in your head and then it's no more thinking
Pussy boy I'll leave you dead and call it dead-ication
I put Act inside my drink, they call it medication

You ain't ready to pay, you ain't seen the news
Got a team of goons 'bout action
Never started, but I finish it so nasty
Ask 'em, they know 'bout me
I'm so Keyshia with the 9, rock a bye baby
So smooth, so fly baby, rock a bye baby
Let me turn up now

We getting bread now
Mama don't worry bout nothin'
You can kick up your legs now
I ain't lying, got hitters on top of hitters
Got hitters on top of hitters
Rest in peace to my nigga Lil Bleek

Just tryna live and have a lil fun nigga
Nephew just came home, half a million dollar bond nigga

Pussy boy I'll leave you dead and call it dead-ication
I put Act inside my drink, they call it medication

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Young Thug's song Can't Tell are a commentary on the distrust and uncertainty that exists within the hip hop community due to the prevalence of counterfeits and pretenders. Young Thug references the fact that many people claim to be a part of the culture and the community, but their material possessions and behaviors suggest otherwise. He notes how people around him behave in a false manner and pretend to be part of his clique, but he is aware of the fraudulence of their front. He then tells how he keeps a firearm around him and how he comes from a dangerous place, hence he is always on guard.


Young Thug also mentions the treatment of women in the hip hop community, often objectifying them and viewing them solely for their physical attractiveness. He references a specific instance where he hooks up with a woman, who he finds aesthetically pleasing but doesn't know much about her otherwise. He then goes on to say that he's not interested in a romantic relationship with her, telling her "don't talk so much." Overall, the song is a nod to the lifestyle and things that he has been exposed to in the hip hop community.

I got bands, I could spare, exotic spеnds, yeah (Hey)
Ball like a caterpillar when it come to a crush, oh yeah, I do
I got extended bankrolls the reason she lust, that's what it do
I keep it loyal with the gang, they know everything a nigga do
I had bought a Mulsanne with me and my lady, they came in two
Big bag ridin' my ride, ain't tell a lie to my tribe
I took the lid off the Benz, now it look like a jet ski when it glide
I keep the same old roster, I don't got new guys
I eat that same old skirt steak, STK with some fries

Man i really love his music, Young Thug is distinguished not only by the fact that his style is quite original, but also by maintaining the standards in the American mainstream (singing about girls, cars, money, gang activity, etc.) he still smuggles a valuable message.
