Oh yeah
O-ho-ho-ho
O-ho-ho-ho
I bring to you lot of hit
Like Shaquille O'Neal
It's Seiji baby
I have a long scope
Look like a dick on my Glock

Got that chop got that stick bitch I'm trapanese
Ramen noodles on my dick when I'm clapping cheeks
Going stupid in the whip 'cause I cannot see
Tryna bring your dog then you better bring that cutlery
Getting to the chips hunnids blue like Doraemon
Nice guy, but I spit flames like I'm Iroh
Talking out your neck I bring the drum, taiko
Lames get to speaking
Then what's up bitch? Ohio! (Ohio)
I'm a fucking shogun
Fronting in my face opposition let me roll one
Always get the A-plus bitch I need more huns
One less dog at the pound 'cause I stole one
Man these suckas wanna test but I'm Asian so I pass
Bitch I'm running up a check I ain't never skipping class
If you talking out your neck on my momma it's a lash
If I become doctor I ain't saving your hoe ass (you doctor yet?)

Aye
Why your eyes like that?
Ain't no molly in my lean bitch I squint 'cause I'm a Jap
Visor bucket on my face
I don't fuck with fitted caps
All this money that I make
Keep it hidden in a stack
In my mattress
Add it like a master, math kid
Skinny long slick mustache like a catfish
Finna go Godzilla we gon' smash it
Lil ricefield fuck with big rice patty
We active

She a hourglass like the village of the sand
Made a bitch fall in love now she tryna hold my hand
I ain't trippin' off these thots all I'm thinking 'bout is bands
On some Caitlyn Jenner shit bitch I'm feeling like the man
Dirty comin' out yo mouth bitch it's good we go toe to toe
Dirty snow bunny bitch you lookin' like Post Malone, congratulations
You won gold for the brokest hoe
I'm getting the guap pockets fat like Totoro
Fuck a bitch in sleep then I cut like I'm killer bee
Made her hella mad
You can bet she's still into me
On my A game, I get killed if I get a B
Want the sushi roll
Nah bitch you can't get the D
Shawty think I love her but I'm on to the next
Now she tellin' big tales, tyrannosaurus rex
The hoe be textin' me she just askin' me for sex
So I fuck her from behind like a thousand years of death
(Thousand years of death)

Like a thousand years of death

Thousand years of death
O-ho-ho-ho

Overall Meaning

The song Trapanese by Lil Ricefield is a lyrical representation of Ricefield's identity as a Japanese American. The song begins with an introduction from the artist where he boasts of his hits that are compared to Shaquille O'Neal, one of the greatest players in the NBA. In the subsequent lyrics, Ricefield raps about his proficiency with guns, bragging that he owns both the "chop" and the "stick." These lyrics reference to the traditional Japanese martial art of kendo, where practitioners use bamboo "swords" (shinai) and wooden sticks (bokken) to fight. He then goes on to describe himself as "trapanese" – a person of mixed race who identifies as both black and Japanese.

In an attempt to showcase his skills in wordplay, Ricefield delivers a series of punchlines that showcase his love for Japanese culture. For instance, he compares himself to Avatar's Uncle Iroh, a wise firebender and military strategist, and says he spits fire like him. When he promises to bring the drum, taiko, he references a traditional Japanese drumming practice used in festivals and performances. Ricefield is also playful with the notion of being Japanese, using stereotypes in some of his lines, such as how his eyes squint when he drinks lean. Still, overall, the song is a proud and confident expression of a young Japanese-American man's identity.
