Matthews’ music weaves a web between various pillars of neo-soul, and sun-dried California hip-hop but at the center, there is a comprehensible Siifu. His persona is fully fleshed out: an earnest poet dependent on prayer but too shy to scan as self-serious, speaking his thoughts through the voices of others and disguising his own in crooked, glinting bars.

Wayans Bros.
pink siifu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Tell 'em the truth to these niggas that squad
Go to the roof I'ma give 'em the watch
Pimpin' and preaching my hair in a bun
The city on fire don't care if it burn
Bought me a Glock just to shoot at the cops
I take the baddies with me to shop
Hecklin' cop try to lie bout a wop
Coming' so rude I could cancel off top

I make your boo wanna dance when I drop
Lots on my mind I can't make up my mind
Whippin' artill' with a head on my cock
I can't make up my mind I keep banging my line

Low key, in the drop
New whip, new Glock
I had to get back to spendin' the lot
The bitches gon' kill you in case you forgot
Just hit my hoe, go and catch you a knot
All of this weed, all of this crop
Fuck 12, all of the cop
This is for bitches just me and my niggas
We gon' try get this (?)
We skrrt, we slide, jack and jillin'
Ali, Jet Li, new place, with her
We skrrt, we spendin', just me, let's get it
Fuck you, fuck me
Fuck it up, fuck it up
Hey bro bro with the (?) cut
Like (?) I don't care with (?)
We'll dodge ya Ave, what do you want
Leave me alone, too many blunts
Too many sons, too many dead
'Cause niggas is hoes
Fight the world nigga, know where you at, fuck you at
Black on black, that be that Gat
Get on dat, get that pack
Everybody lyin', got me bad
2, 1, this that death wish

You catch a nigga off guard with this shit
