CRASH DUMMY Lyrics

[Intro]
Joey? Joey chewin’ through shit
Hrn-hrn-hrn-hrn-hrn-hrn, hrn-hrn-hrn (Ayy)
Nigga, Joey chewin’ through– (Ayy)
Joey is chewin’ through, hrn-hrn-hrn
He chewin’ through shit
(Kirk on the beat)
You believe in God, believe in TDEast, nigga

[Refrain]
Take-take-take (Take money)
Ayy (Take money)
I said, I– (Take money)

[Verse 1]
It’s about time, nigga, goddamn, almost got sick of waitin’
Like a bad doctor, nigga, I ain’t got a lot of patience
Y’all niggas back on the clock
And anything past twenty-four hours is a shot clock violation
What’s the current situation? Niggas just clickbaitin’
How predictable, this the angle I was anticipating
And thank you for making it clear that Dot scared, but yeah
I was at the party, but I also saw Top there
Y’all talking the same as every nigga out here
Y’all niggas goin’ out sad ’cause I’m the one who top tier
He said, “Hey, Joey, I got this artist named Ray Vaughn”
“And I’d appreciate if you would really help me put him on”
I said, “Okay, Top, but you know it’s gon’ cost you”
You know I really want the one who elevated your roster
I’m on these niggas’ headtop, rise to the top like dreadlocks
Joey got the whole rap game in a headlock
I’m lettin’ off headshots
I seen this whole shit from afar, the way I red-dot
Niggas can’t walk on these shoes, though, they dead stock
Lately been enjoying the perks, but I don’t med pop
I pop out and show niggas how they ho niggas
Simultaneously aiming at least four niggas
How many more niggas is it really gonna take to drop him?
They need 101 Dalmatians just to spot ’em and got ’em
My lyrical Drac’ makin’ ’em beat box
I won’t hesitate, but these niggas still won’t drop like Detox
Matter of fact, I think they forgot the last time I destroyed an average rapper who tried to take a cheap shot
Now they reminiscing over you like Pete Rock
I ride through the city in that GL Smooth and Maybach
So you know I came to do what it do
‘Cause we rapping over yappin’, nigga, joke’s on you, ayy

[Chorus]
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy, ayy
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy

[Verse 2]
Anywho, ask myself, “What would Kenny do?”
Any day of the week, I take on at least ten of you
You thought you got dirt on me because I buried you
Y’all niggas is hysterical, ain’t no coming back from this, you need a miracle
Joey just spun again, how could it be?
It’s like he knew it was comin’, the future, what he foresee?
Have you ever thought TDE was working for me?
How the fuck am I your OG? You older than me
This ain’t a fair fight, it’s a fucking slaughter
Why you keep bringing up pregnant women, don’t you got a daughter?
You really need to get your affairs in order
Last time I checked, your label exec’s was in hot water
The Diddy house angle is terrible, you makin’ it way too easy for me, we ain’t comparable
When I’m done with you, Top won’t let you drop like Karrahbooo
Guaranteed this the last time we ever hear from you

[Chorus]
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy, ayy
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy

[Verse 3]
Time to show the world who I am, I’ve been a man
I’m loaded up, my clip on jam, might spin again
I’m taking all the shots, they say I opened up Pandora’s Box
I’m breakin’ all the locks and all the gates they tryna key
Barkin’ over, know I got faith in God that I had to reach
Keep thinkin’ shit sweet, when it come to beef, let my teeth sink
Kickin’ up dust because my niggas really street-street
Niggas better rethink, I don’t throw subs, I throw torpedoes that heat-seek
Through your fleece when I speak my piece
I beat the beast strictly off instinct
All the speculation is lame, I tell it plain
I ain’t gotta drop a nigga name just for him to feel the flame
Do this for the love of the game, you think it’s for the fame
Niggas swervin’ in my lane, I’ll take them on a scenic route
I’ma stand on every bar, I promise I won’t bleep ‘em out
It’s demons inside my soul, family who wanna bring ‘em out
Keep my wife’s name out your mouth ‘fore you get Chris Rock’d
We ain’t duckin’ smoke, that’s out, bitch, this is hip-hop
All I need is a microphone and a disc jock, and I’ma make this shit pop
Let my dick rock ’til my dick pop, I do this shit for Big Pop and Pop Smoke
How many more New York niggas got it down on y’all Coast?
And still we got mad love
If y’all niggas mad ‘cause I’m putting it on for my section, I should be mad
You niggas never ask yourself that question, pardon me for my question
I know that’s a tough pill to swallow, I give you time just to digest it
Just get back and I hope you know
Keep on rackin’ ‘em with the flow, now kick back and enjoy the show

[Chorus]
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy, ayy
Scared money don’t make no money
I could never go broke, steady take your money, ayy
I could Evidence you niggas, but ain’t shit funny
You ain’t a crash-out, nigga, you a crash dummy

[Refrain]
Take-take-take (Take money)
Ayy, take-take-take
I said, “I take-take-take” (Take money)
I said I–, hmm, hmm, hmm, what?
Take-take (Take money)
Ayy, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Take-take (Take money)
Hmm, ayy, woo (Ha-ha)

[Outro]
Yeah, y’all niggas know what time it is, man
Come to TDEast, nigga
You believe in God? Believe in TDEast, nigga
Huh, woo, ayy
Ayy-ayy, what?
Ayy-ayy, what?
Get Top on the phone, yeah
What, ayy, hey, hey (Take-take-take-take, take money)
(Kirk on the beat)
Gather ‘round
We are gathered here today to say goodbye to a good dog, gone right too soon
Yep, bark on, bark on
In loving memory, we pray
Rest in peace, my dog

CRASH DUMMY Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone with an energetic buildup, emphasizing Joey’s readiness to “chew through” the competition. The repetition and ad-libs create a sense of aggression and anticipation. With a nod to producer Kirk Knight and a reference to “TDEast,” Joey flips the West Coast label TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) into an East Coast context, marking the start of a lyrical territorial clash.

[Refrain]
The refrain is short and rhythmic, with the phrase “Take money” echoing the iconic line from 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up.” It reinforces the theme of competition and financial power, foreshadowing the confrontational tone of the verses.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Joey Bada$$ dives directly into the drama, criticizing delays in the industry and mocking rivals for failing to release material. He targets TDE and Kendrick Lamar, suggesting fear and hesitation within their camp. Joey implies he was asked to mentor another artist (Ray Vaughn) but declines unless given a bigger challenge—specifically, Kendrick. His wordplay includes battle-ready metaphors, fashion references, and shots at the perceived stagnation of his opponents. Lines about “headshots” and “red-dot” reinforce the combative tone, while his refusal to “med pop” distances him from drug culture, adding a layer of discipline and clarity.

[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes fearlessness and financial dominance. Joey reclaims power by stating he could “Evidence” his opponents—a nod to the rapper Evidence—but asserts that nothing is humorous about his threats. Calling his rivals “crash dummies,” he implies they’re disposable and reckless, unlike himself who is calculated and in control.

[Verse 2]
Joey continues his offensive, mocking the idea that his rivals could expose him, flipping it to suggest he’s already buried them lyrically. He questions Kendrick’s authority, even though Kendrick is older, asserting that age doesn’t equate to superiority. Joey calls out questionable references to women in rival verses and slams label controversies, hinting at industry scandals and internal turmoil. His message is clear: TDE and Kendrick are slipping, and Joey is capitalizing on it.

[Chorus]
Repeated again, the chorus reinforces the track’s core message—fear leads to failure, and Joey is relentless in taking what he wants. The repetition amplifies its intensity, grounding the song’s structure in its message of dominance.

[Verse 3]
This verse showcases Joey at his most reflective and aggressive. He speaks of identity, spiritual strength, and raw instinct. Declaring war on subtweeting and subliminal disses, he favors direct attacks. The verse is filled with layered cultural and musical references—from Pandora’s Box to Chris Rock to Pop Smoke—tying personal legacy to broader hip-hop history. He balances pride in his New York roots with criticism of coastal rivalries, flipping the script on loyalty and representation in hip-hop.

[Chorus]
One final repetition of the chorus drives home Joey’s message of independence, control, and unshakable ambition. The phrase “crash dummy” serves as a symbolic dismissal of those who challenge him without the skill to back it up.

[Refrain]
Returning again, the refrain acts like a taunt. The repetition of “Take money” becomes a chant of superiority, cementing Joey’s stance and challenging rivals to respond.

[Outro]
The outro blends braggadocio with a mock eulogy, suggesting that a rival’s career is over following this diss. The references to prayer, mourning, and dogs are laced with sarcasm, sealing the track with a theatrical flourish. Joey Bada$$ ends the song as he began—confident, mocking, and fully in control.
