In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Now my watch so fuckin' bright
It look like sunlight in the night
I shit on rappers, shit on athletes
Me and Floyd should book a fight
I'm a sight to see for sho so your hoe should book a flight
Versace frames so call me Forbes
I done fucked every hoe I like
I'm so charming all these tinted chains
I didn't even wear a charm
She like Bentley bracelets what the fuck is that shit on your arm
You didn't have to speak offensive 'cause my watch is so expensive women get so damn defensive
They love me like kids love Christmas
I'm young active and attractive
Nonchalant but I'm persistent
I can get any bitch I want
But I'm so motherfuckin' picky
I'm a very picky person been like that since I was hurtin'
You can't tell me anything, bitch you gotta be for certain
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
I'm a fed target, on the red carpet
In a whip so new valet scared to park it
Not a average artist, an elaborate artist
My collabs turn locals to established artists
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
'Cause all these hoes bleed once a month (Huh)
I give a chick a couple hundred just to leave me alone
A little hush money so she don't ask me none
I still get love from the EA (Six)
But I got no love from the DA
I see the DJ run it back like a punt return
I guess I still get love from the DJs
But I got no love for you fuckboys
Y'all still caught up in the he-say she-say
I send love to my niggas on lock down
A lot of them don't got no release date
The J's love it how I whip it 'til my wrist ache
Bitch say that she in love with my mixtapes
I told baby if you love me like you say that you do
Then you'll take these ten bricks to your ribcage
All the young niggas call me an OG
But I don't reminisce about the old days
I don't want nothin' old but a bankroll
I outgrew oldschools at a young age (Its Wop)
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin'
In the strip club chillin' so nonchalant
It look like sunlight in the night
I shit on rappers, shit on athletes
Me and Floyd should book a fight
I'm a sight to see for sho so your hoe should book a flight
Versace frames so call me Forbes
I done fucked every hoe I like
I'm so charming all these tinted chains
I didn't even wear a charm
