Lyrics
Hol’ on, hol’ on
Woah, woah, woah
Ah, uh, gang
Baow
(D-Roc)
Let’s do it
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Bitch, you better not step on my motherfuckin’ shoes, huh
Love a bitch, think they can play with top gun, make the news
I bought my whole fuckin’ crew, they dummy, I’m tryna sink
Bitch, you gon’ go
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Muscle like a steak, my Giseppe’s all about blue
I’m in here, who gon’ stretch me? Know my 5s lookin’ at his toes
Soon as I point, know he gon’ shoot, that’s how he do, that be my doola
Sada boom, yeah, yeah
Soon as we gon’ start this bitch, hop out
They hatin’, they better stop that shit, can’t stop they numbers, I’m hot now
This money, got a lot of it, go tell ’em put the Top son (Top son)
Shorty wanna fuck me, say she love me
Know that I’m thuggin’, I ain’t goin’ for nothin’
I push the button, it turn out ugly
I say “Fuck it, it’s a murder scene”
Thugged up and I’m screamin’ “Free my cousin” on all plenty lanes
Shorty wanna chill, but I couldn’t right now
I’ve been rollin’ off them pills and I can’t think right now
Let a nigga play, he gon’ get-, kill ’em out the window hangin’ out
We bang it out, try knock ’em out, bitch, close your mouth, yeah
This TEC can make you hit the deck, they roll you out, yeah
Know that we grimy than a motherfucker, fuck him, let his mama love him
Outside, we slam this stupid motherfucker
Tryna keep us set above water, we plugged ’em
Better learn how to swim or you in trouble (Bitch, ha)
Bitch, I know what you thinkin’, better not motherfuckin’ play with me
Leave your brain outside, just with your head head bust up the side of the streets
All my niggas stand on business, I’d die for them, all they’ll die for me
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Bitch, you better not step on my motherfuckin’ shoes, huh
Love a bitch, think they can play with top gun, make the news
I bought my whole fuckin’ crew, they dummy, I’m tryna sink
Bitch, you gon’ go
Shorty wanna chill, but I couldn’t right now
I’ve been rollin’ off them pills and I can’t think right now
Let a nigga play, he gon’ get-, kill ’em out the window hangin’ out
We bang it out, try knock ’em out, bitch, close your mouth, yeah
Decoding the “Denthead” Phenomenon
If you’re not familiar with the term “denthead,” don’t worry, I got you. It’s essentially slang for someone who’s addicted to lean (a concoction of cough syrup, soda, and hard candy). And let me tell you, Youngboy’s lyrics are dripping with references to this mind-altering substance.
Lyric Example | Meaning |
---|---|
“I’m a denthead, I’m a denthead” | Proudly proclaiming his lean addiction |
“Sippin’ on some Wock’ (Wockhardt)” | Referring to a popular brand of codeine cough syrup |
“Purple rain, purple rain” | Describing the purple hue of the lean mixture |
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “But isn’t glorifying drug use kinda messed up?” And you’re absolutely right, my friend. But Youngboy’s denthead lyrics aren’t just about flexing his vices. They’re a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the harsh realities of life on the streets.
Exploring the Gritty Realism
See, Youngboy didn’t exactly have an easy upbringing. He was raised in poverty-stricken neighborhoods where violence and drug abuse were all too common. His lyrics reflect that harsh environment, painting vivid pictures of gang life, trauma, and mental health struggles.
Take a look at some of these powerful lines:
- “I been through too much, I can’t even cry no more”
- “I’m so tired of running, I’m so tired of hiding”
- “I been shot, I been stabbed, I been hit by a car”
Damn, right? Youngboy’s words hit like a punch to the gut, forcing us to confront the harsh truths that so many young people face every day.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, either. Youngboy’s music also celebrates resilience, loyalty, and ambition. He raps about hustling to provide for his family, staying true to his roots, and dreaming big despite the obstacles.
The Impact of Youngboy’s Realness
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “But isn’t all this talk of drugs and violence just promoting negative behavior?” And I hear you, friend. But here’s the thing – Youngboy’s music isn’t meant to be a moral guide. It’s a raw, unfiltered expression of his life experiences.
And that kind of authenticity is what draws so many fans to his music. In a world filled with carefully curated personas and manufactured hype, Youngboy’s realness is like a breath of fresh air.
His denthead lyrics have struck a chord with millions of listeners who can relate to the struggles, pain, and resilience he portrays. And that’s kind of beautiful, isn’t it? Through his music, Youngboy is giving a voice to the voiceless – those who have been marginalized and overlooked by society.
The Future of Denthead Rap
So, what’s next for Youngboy and the denthead rap phenomenon? Well, my friend, that’s hard to say. The music industry is ever-evolving, and trends come and go.
But one thing’s for sure – Youngboy’s impact on the rap game is undeniable. He’s paved the way for a new generation of artists to embrace raw, unfiltered storytelling and unapologetic authenticity.
And who knows? Maybe someday, denthead rap will be studied in schools and universities as a cultural phenomenon that shed light on the harsh realities of urban life. Stranger things have happened, right?
In the meantime, we can all appreciate Youngboy for keeping it real and giving us a brutally honest glimpse into his world. Whether you love his music or hate it, there’s no denying the power and impact of those denthead lyrics.
So, my friend, the next time you hear Youngboy’s voice blaring through your speakers, take a moment to really listen. Beneath the trippy melodies and mumbled flows, there’s a story waiting to be heard – a story of struggle, resilience, and unapologetic realness.
