CRANK Lyrics

[Verse 1: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
Uh, back in the day, huh (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
We used to play, huh
Now so we all there
My bitches are all there (Swamp Izzo)
Drivin’ the cold blow (Ha, ha, ha)
My bitches are pop, uh
My vibes are top fours
I leave her, she slam doors
Closed casket, woah-woah
Big bank, jumbo
Look how fast, look at my dash, fuck up the turbo (Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
AP glass, they send me a bag and I went to Soho
Ice on my wrist, I got a rich ho
She blowin’ minds, this ho a lil’ freak ho
I told a ho “Slow it up ’cause you got a free throat”

[Chorus: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp Izzo)
Free throat
Free throat (Ah)
Free throat

[Verse 2: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
I’m tryna see where you went at (Ha)
I’m tryna see if you winnin’ (Ha)
How you tryna fuck up the money (Ha, ha)
And still ask a nigga for pennies?
I cook on you hoes like Benny
Every day, I’m off limits (Yes, sir)
Double O, I be bends
Drank all in my kidneys (Swamp)
I’m sorry that I called you bitch, you already know I go looking for shit (Swamp)
I’m richer than all my opps (Ha)
That’s a big plot twist (Ha)
I’m prayin’ for all my opps while I’m hawking for my next bitch (Ha, ha)
Oh, you prayin’ for them motherfuckers now, Carti?
Yeah, they got a death wish
Yeah, he gotta go, bitch (Ah)
And I know he know this (Ah)
They said that he ran out the club, bitch, and I was late to notice (Ah)
That double-O five sittin’ on my back, bitch, it ain’t hard to notice
If I seen that pussy alive, leave him alive, I’m focused

[Bridge: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
Alive, alive, alive, alive
She want the check before the neck respect (Ah)
She want the check before the neck respect (Ah)

[Chorus: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp)
Free throat (Swamp Izzo)
Free throat
Free throat
Free throat
Free throat

CRANK Meaning

[Verse 1: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
In the first verse, Playboi Carti reflects on his rise from humble beginnings to his current lavish lifestyle. He talks about his fast cars, expensive jewelry, and powerful presence. The mention of “bitches are all there” and “drivin’ the cold blow” emphasizes Carti’s control over his environment and the women who surround him. He also hints at his emotional distance, shown through the phrase “I leave her, she slam doors,” symbolizing a detachment from personal relationships. The line “Big bank, jumbo” and the reference to his AP watch show his wealth and success, while the final lines about the “rich ho” and the “free throat” further reinforce the themes of indulgence and materialism.

[Chorus: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
The chorus, repeated multiple times, revolves around the phrase “free throat,” a crude reference to the power Carti believes he holds over women. This repetition highlights his objectification of women and his obsession with control. The phrase becomes a symbol of the transactional nature of relationships in Carti’s world, where everything has a price and is based on immediate gratification.

[Verse 2: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
In the second verse, Carti addresses those around him, questioning their motivations and contrasting his own wealth with the “opps” (opponents or rivals). He expresses frustration with those who, despite trying to disrupt his success, still turn to him for money. He continues to boast about his riches and the power he holds, reinforcing his belief that he’s always one step ahead. The line “I’m richer than all my opps” shows Carti’s sense of superiority, while the violent imagery in “I’m prayin’ for all my opps while I’m hawking for my next bitch” suggests that Carti sees life as a game of survival, where only the strongest win.

[Bridge: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
The bridge, with its repeated chanting of “alive,” acts as a moment of intensity, further accentuating Carti’s aggressive attitude. The mention of a “check before the neck respect” emphasizes Carti’s transactional view of relationships, where respect and affection are secondary to monetary gain.

[Chorus: Playboi Carti & DJ Swamp Izzo]
The final repetition of the chorus once again drives home the crude message of control and dominance, cementing the transactional nature of Carti’s interactions with women and the overall theme of power throughout the song.
