Grandma Hips
Your Old Droog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come Halloween I'm the wrong one to egg on
Four Megatron limbs harmin 'em with homonyms
Far from PC, I'm VC with his arm in the rim
Got songs and hymns
Kick a rhyme on a whim
Come for me - chance of you surviving extra slim
Like a skinny MF DOOM, it'll be next to Grimm
Like a packet of Eclipse
Dawg you slipped for not recognizing YOD was god since we used to boost chips
And the box juice Ssips
Rockin pants that swish
Then I link with rich to flip product
The product of that was utterly hypnotic
Your mind is not equipped to understand our quips
Shut up and keep, with your grandma hips
Man, built like my auntie, hopped online [?]
Eternally sleep telling cats to stay woke
By doing this I'm a neighborhood treasure
I pack some more, in just for good measure
That's a good measure, ain't it?
I can see the future and that ain't it
For tryna taint the pictures I painted
I just might go start a residency
Pump it out to Grammarcy
Teacher said I was nice with the grammar, see
Lord have mercy
Thirsty, firstly known for flowing with finesse like Percy P
And going hand to hand, can't see me man to man
Plus your man aura's fucking banana-rammer pandora
Y'all cats sedentary on the road to dead and buried
Practically souvenirs, haven't made a move in years
Now give me dap or a five
Old Droog the greatest rapper alive
Shut the fuck up
Compare the flow to an avalanche
A battle ram, [?] should be my acronym
Sick pen game like a [?] sonogram
Born to kill, coming at ya like a porno cam
Ain't you know I smoke that fruity-color tucan?
Eat the pussy, get her wetter than the Hoover Dam
Ain't no need to say my name, bitch know who I am
Rappers [?] in the closet like Luther Van
Get killed watching shows like Abraham
Next time at your funeral doing a Shmurda dance
Want beef, act like you're at the burger stand
Pull the burner, put holes in your cardigan
Bitch, I'm 'bout to get the artisan
Go Son of Sam have you shaking like Parkinson
Ain't going in unless my nigga sneak the Larkin in
Shoot a rapper just to help him with his marketin'
Don't even get me started and
One phone call, now your family we targetin'
[?]
I walk in, they be like "who let the Martian in?"
Said I'm the best, it ain't a single nigga question it
Either it's the truth or these niggas disrespectin'
Took it as a sign [?]
Changing of the guard, all these whack niggas exit

Wagwan foghorn leghorn
Greetings, I am a lively and entertaining person
Come Halloween I'm the wrong one to egg on
Do not provoke me on Halloween, I am dangerous
Four Megatron limbs harmin 'em with homonyms
I am a powerful force using clever wordplay
Far from PC, I'm VC with his arm in the rim
I am not politically correct and I am dominant
Got songs and hymns
I am a skilled musician
Kick a rhyme on a whim
I can spontaneously create great rap lyrics
Come for me - chance of you surviving extra slim
If you challenge me, you will likely not succeed
Like a skinny MF DOOM, it'll be next to Grimm
If you fight me, it will end in tragedy
Knock you in your loose lips for popping off at the gums
I will punch you for talking too much
Like a packet of Eclipse
I am dark and mysterious
Dawg you slipped for not recognizing YOD was god since we used to boost chips
You made a mistake by not acknowledging my greatness from back in the day
And the box juice Ssips
I am a fan of a certain type of juice box brand
Rockin pants that swish
I am dressed in fashionable clothing
Then I link with rich to flip product
I collaborate with wealthy partners to create excellent work
The product of that was utterly hypnotic
Our work was incredibly captivating
Your mind is not equipped to understand our quips
You cannot comprehend our clever wordplay and jokes
Shut up and keep, with your grandma hips
Be quiet and continue with your boring existence
Man, built like my auntie, hopped online [?]
You are fat and unattractive
Eternally sleep telling cats to stay woke
You pretend to be aware and educated while staying ignorant
By doing this I'm a neighborhood treasure
I am valuable to my community by exposing others' ignorance
I pack some more, in just for good measure
I am successful and continue to strive for more
That's a good measure, ain't it?
Isn't that a good way to live?
I can see the future and that ain't it
I know what my future holds and it will not be mundane
For tryna taint the pictures I painted
For trying to ruin my reputation and creations
I just might go start a residency
I may start a permanent performance location
Pump it out to Grammarcy
I will perform in the affluent neighborhood of Gramercy
Teacher said I was nice with the grammar, see
I have always had a talent for grammar, as affirmed by my teacher
Lord have mercy
Goodness gracious
Thirsty, firstly known for flowing with finesse like Percy P
I am known for my smooth style of rapping like Percy P
And going hand to hand, can't see me man to man
I am a formidable opponent and cannot be defeated
Plus your man aura's fucking banana-rammer pandora
You are acting ridiculous or insane
Y'all cats sedentary on the road to dead and buried
You are lazy and destined for failure
Practically souvenirs, haven't made a move in years
You are stagnant and have not progressed in a long time
Now give me dap or a five
Greet me with a handshake or high-five
Old Droog the greatest rapper alive
I am the best rapper in the world
Compare the flow to an avalanche
My rap style is intense and unstoppable like an avalanche
A battle ram, [?] should be my acronym
I am a fierce warrior and my name should reflect that
Sick pen game like a [?] sonogram
My ability to write amazing rap lyrics is like an ultrasound of a sick baby
Born to kill, coming at ya like a porno cam
I am built to dominate, like a camera in a pornographic film
Ain't you know I smoke that fruity-color tucan?
Don't you know I smoke a particular brand of colorful and fruity cigarettes?
Eat the pussy, get her wetter than the Hoover Dam
I am very skilled in sexually pleasing women
Ain't no need to say my name, bitch know who I am
You already know who I am, I don't need to introduce myself
Rappers [?] in the closet like Luther Van
Some rappers are secretly gay and hiding their true selves, like Luther Vandross
Get killed watching shows like Abraham
You will die while watching TV shows about Abraham
Next time at your funeral doing a Shmurda dance
At your funeral, I will perform a popular dance called the 'Shmurda dance'
Want beef, act like you're at the burger stand
If you want to start a fight, act like you're at a fast food burger place
Pull the burner, put holes in your cardigan
I will shoot you and ruin your sweater
Bitch, I'm 'bout to get the artisan
I am about to get top-quality drugs
Go Son of Sam have you shaking like Parkinson
I will make you tremble in fear, like someone with Parkinson's disease
Ain't going in unless my nigga sneak the Larkin in
I won't enter a building unless my friend brings his gun with him
Shoot a rapper just to help him with his marketin'
I will shoot a fellow rapper and it will boost their publicity
Don't even get me started and
I could go on and on about this
One phone call, now your family we targetin'
With one phone call, I can turn your family into a target
[?]
There is no discernable meaning in this line
I walk in, they be like "who let the Martian in?"
When I enter a room, people are shocked by my unique and otherworldly presence
Said I'm the best, it ain't a single nigga question it
I am so confident that I am the best rapper that no one can contest it
Either it's the truth or these niggas disrespectin'
Either everyone agrees that I am the best or they are being disrespectful
Took it as a sign [?]
I interpreted it as a signal or message
Changing of the guard, all these whack niggas exit
There is a new generation of talented rappers coming up, and the old, mediocre ones are leaving

"Come for me, chance of you survivin' extra slim - like a skinny MF Doom, it'll be next to Grimm". Modern-day hip hop needs more lyricists like this.

The New York Times linked this video on their article "MF Doom Influenced Scores of Musicians. Hear 11 of Them." noting "Perhaps no modern rapper embodies Doom’s penchant for bugged-out references and architectural rhyme schemes better than Brooklyn’s Your Old Droog"
Leah Graves
