Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mafia!
Yeah, peep game, bitch, you know what I'm sayin'?
Level up! Yeah
Like a game

Catch 'em down bad
Beat 'em with a bat, hashtag that
I call it New Jack, yeah, yeah
Bitch, I got a blue Jag
I make that cash talk
I got a new house
You wanna get in, need a passcode nigga
Two twenty five on the dashboard, nigga
Stack it up and until you get that foreign, nigga
Stack it up and and then take care of your daughter, nigga
Stack it up and take care of your son, nigga
Stack it up and take care of that money
You know I ran it all up by myself
And now your bitch drinkin' cum nigga
My diamonds yellow like a corn nigga
Double R at the prom nigga
Skrt, skrt skrt
Got some hitters all of 'em my cuz nigga
Girl I know you love me
Love me, I know, I know you love me
You love me

Bentley with a nigga, bear killer nigga, back it up
Bands kill a nigga, fast wheel a nigga, back it up
Ape shit nigga, Godzilla, nigga, act up
Don't let your chick go Godzilla, bae, back it up
I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have a baby by you, girl
I just wanna go crazy about you, girl
Don't make your nigga act crazy over you, girl
Ayy, 'cause you know I will
And I'm on a perky pill

This shit can get ugly for you
I pull up and bust your mama
I pull up and bust your brother
I aim at your fuckin' family
I aim at your whole clique
I aim at your mothafuckin' mama
I aim at your fuckin' dad
I aim at your daughter, son, nigga
I aim it at everything
I aim at the bag
I got devil inside of me
Got the devil inside me
God tryna provide me
God tryna decide
Do we wanna leave the assignment?
Um okay I know you're frustrated 'bout a nigga and
Every time I take you through
I know I did a lot of sinnin'
I hope you still let me make it through
Just 'cause I got me a spot in LA
That don't mean I'mma change the crew
My bitch trying to figure out
How she can tell me to chill without changin' you
Fuck it, I'm changin' up on 'em
But my fans, not changin' on 'em
Makin' a band, I'm sangin' on 'em
Whip out that bag, syringin' on 'em
Hey, we lock that bitch out with no passcode
I bought her summer doors
Damn, she already had 'em though

Bentley with a nigga, bear killer nigga, back it up
Bands kill a nigga, fast wheel a nigga, back it up
Ape shit nigga, Godzilla, nigga, act up
Don't let your chick go Godzilla, bae, back it up
I just wanna have sex
I just wanna have a baby by you, girl
I just wanna go crazy about you, girl
Don't make your nigga act crazy over you, girl




Ayy, 'cause you know I will
And I'm on a perky pill

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Young Thug's song Harambe are a mix of braggadocio and violence, with some hints at introspection and personal struggles. The opening lines use the phrase "peep game" to suggest that the rapper has something important to share, and then declares that he is leveling up like in a video game. From there, he begins to detail his material possessions and the violent ways in which he will protect them. He brags about his blue Jaguar car, his new house with a passcode entry system, and his diamond jewelry. He also references the infamous New Jack Swing wrestling move, which involves hitting an opponent with a baseball bat. The chorus repeats his catchphrase "stack it up" while urging listeners to take care of their loved ones and their money.


The second verse is even more violent, with Young Thug boasting about his willingness to attack anyone who crosses him or his property. He threatens to "bust" the family members of his enemies, including their mother, father, daughter, and son. He also hints at some inner demons, describing himself as having "the devil inside me" and God trying to decide whether to help him or not. The final lines of the verse switch abruptly to a more emotional tone, with Young Thug addressing a lover and expressing his desire to have a baby with her while also acknowledging his own flaws.


Overall, the lyrics to Harambe are a vivid representation of the excessive materialism and violence that can be found in certain circles of the rap world. While some might find the song repellent or offensive, others may see it as an honest expression of the struggles and desires of a young artist trying to make his way to the top.
