Let’s dissect some of the key lines to better understand the meaning behind the song:
[Hook: FBG Dutchie]
My young nigg*s, they gon murda (murda)
I said my young nigg*s, they gon murda (grrr)
My young nigg*s, they gon murda
You f*ck around with them f*ckarounds, and you f*ck around and get murdered (ayeee)
My young nigg*s, they gon murda
They’ll cook a nigg* just like burgers (boom, boom)
What’s your name? You ain’t making no noise
nigg*, I ain’t never heard of ya (It’s Young)
You f*ck around with them f*ckarounds, and you f*ck around and get murdered (Go dumb)
The hook sets the tone for the track, emphasizing the ruthlessness and readiness of “young nigg*s” to take actions that may lead to deadly consequences. They are unafraid to eliminate anyone who stands in their way or poses a threat to their survival. The line “They’ll cook a nigg* just like burgers” suggests the brutal nature of their acts, comparing their victims to meat on a grill.
[Verse 1: FBG Young]
Aye, my young nigg*s, they be monstas (they is)
They’ll ambush your hood, then drop ya (Where he at?, Get low)
30s when we march, come like the mop, no guy (We march, no guy)
St. Lawrence, Shoot To Live, Deeboing souls out of bodies (St. Lawrence x2)
Hit the pally, smokin’ dope (We blowin’)
[?] (huh)
Hit the witness, next week (He hit)
No trial, no tomorrow (no)
You’ll think we knew Fivestar the way we on Folly (huh, We on Folly)
I got trained shootas, every gun got a body (bow, bow)
See Cole, he gon do ya (What up, bro?)
Swiper, he’ll swipe ya (What up, bro?)
My shootas, they got shootas
Spot em, drop em out the rifle (He gone)
Brodie L’z, he be strapped (What up, bro?)
Make him dance, [?] (dance)
puss*, money, murder, all three have been invited (puss*, money, murder)
(Gang)
In the first verse, FBG Young exemplifies the relentless and fearless nature of his crew. They are referred to as “monstas” who execute surprise attacks and eliminate their enemies without mercy. The mention of St. Lawrence and Shoot To Live indicates their affiliations with particular neighborhoods or gangs. The line “You’ll think we knew Fivestar the way we on Folly” suggests their unwavering dedication to their lifestyle, as if they were deeply connected to a fallen comrade.
[Verse 2: FBG Dutchie]
My young nigg*s, they gon murda (They murda)
Shoot, kill, tote jocks, never squeal (huh)
Get popped like a pill (blah!)
Boss city, Tookaville, wet you up like a seal (what?, ville, gllah!)
For real, get killed, sh*t real in the field
So don’t be f*ckin’ ’round with my monstas
Got big guns like congas
My nigg*s “Die 600” (Six-O)
This drum clip load a hunnit (huh?, Haa)
These nigg* straight actors
But they don’t want no drama
Call Shaq Moe, he let the MAC blow and he bombing nigg*s like Osama (gllah!, gllah!)
Cray Cray my young nigg*
And KI my young killa
A lot of nigg*s be rappin’ (They rappin’)
But we the ones tote guns, nigg*
I’ll take you down for them funds, nigg* (them funds)
Shootas ain’t for none, nigg* (bow! x3)
Ride on you while you lackin’
Click-clack, better run, nigg* (boom! x3, huh?)
FBG Dutchie’s verse reinforces the violent and dangerous lifestyle they live. He mentions various neighborhoods and gangs, highlighting the territories they control. The line “Got big guns like congas” refers to the arsenal they possess and their readiness to use them when necessary. The allusion to bombing nigg*s like Osama suggests their ability to bring swift and devastating consequences to anyone who crosses their paths. Lastly, the line “Shootas ain’t for none” emphasizes that they are not to be trifled with and will quickly retaliate if provoked.
