redrum Lyrics By 21 Savage

[Intro]
Cai, a noite sobre o nosso amor
Cai, e agora só restou do amor
Uma palavra: Adeus
Woah, woah, woah

[Chorus]
Want it all, I won't leave a breadcrumb
Bitch, what? I thought a nigga said somethin'
Thought a nigga said somethin'
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
Nigga, all we know is— (Redrum)

[Verse 1]
Ridin' in the back, it's a May' (It's a May')
Thirty-two shots in the K (In the K)
Marathon, I really run the A (Run the A)
Say you touched me, how, Sway? (How, Sway?)
Graveyard, that's where the opps stay (Opps stay)
Hypnotize, they do what I say (What I say)
21, niggas don't play (Don't play)
My Glock Gen5 said hey (Said hey)
Take my chopper everywhere, that's bae (That's bae)
Get yo' ass out the car, you givin' Tre (Givin' Tre)
We been spinnin' through they hood all day (All day)
Niggas say they outside, okay, okay
I can't let a bitch play me, no way (No way)
You a duck if you believe what hoes say (What hoes say)
She got way more bodies than my old K (Old K)
My lil' brother beat his body, OJ (OJ)
Niggas talkin' 'bout they lit, I'm La Flame (Pussy)
That lil' boy a mascot, he ain't gang (Pussy)
Watch a half a million dollars and it's plain (Pussy)
I don't go through TSA to get on planes (Pussy)
You get pussy without head, then you lame (Pussy)
She knew I was leavin' 'fore I even came (Pussy)
Two revolvers on my waist, John Wayne (Pussy)
Smack niggas, then I get on Live and sing (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
How many niggas got the belt? (A lot)
Catch 'em at the light, he get nailed (Bow)
9-1-1, somebody help
Sub-tweeting bad for your health, pussy
I'm a gangster, I ain't takin' shit back, pussy
I'll never do no song with no rat, pussy
Put a Lego in a stick, it rat-a-tat, pussy
I don't wanna talk, go and catch a hat, pussy
Big Draco come up out that Scat, pussy
He stood on business, now he layin' on his back, pussy
Ask around, I be rappin' nothin' but facts, pussy
We the reason all these niggas runnin' track, pussy (On God)
You ain't never stepped, you can't tell me a thing (21)
I got big kahunas and I'm lettin' 'em hang (21)
Keep my mouth closed and that's never gon' change (21)
You get in the jam and go to pointin' and blame (21, 21)
I ain't let it slide, I was sharpenin' aim
Smokin' on my brothers, got his ass left slain
You know it's smoke, 'cause they ain't even take off his chain
Say it's up with me, your ass must do cocaine (21, 21)

[Outro]
Little pigs
Little pigs, let me come in
Not by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin?
Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down
Here's Johnny

[Intro]
The introduction features a sample in Portuguese, setting a melancholic and ominous tone. The words reflect on the end of love and bid farewell, which juxtaposes the violent theme of the song, highlighting a sense of loss and darkness.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, 21 Savage asserts his relentless ambition, stating he won't leave anything behind ("I won't leave a breadcrumb"). He mocks those who talk without action and emphasizes the violent nature of his environment, using "redrum" (murder spelled backward) to underline the prevalence of killing in his community. The repetition of "redrum" reinforces the omnipresence of violence and murder in his life.

[Verse 1]
21 Savage describes his life in the streets, riding in a bulletproof car and carrying a weapon for protection. He challenges anyone claiming to have harmed him and references the graveyard as the final place for his enemies. He reflects on the power he holds over others, the loyalty he expects, and the treachery he faces. The verse showcases his dominance, readiness for violence, and disdain for those who betray him or fail to live up to his standards.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the central themes of ambition, mockery of empty threats, and the pervasive violence in his life. The repetition serves to reinforce the song's message and the reality of 21 Savage's experiences.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, 21 Savage continues to detail his experiences with violence and betrayal. He speaks about catching enemies off guard, the consequences of seeking clout, and his unwavering stance against snitches. He highlights his street credibility and the lengths he goes to protect his reputation. The verse underscores the harsh reality of his world, where loyalty is rare and survival is paramount.

[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated once more, solidifying the themes of the song and reinforcing the imagery of relentless ambition and violence.

[Outro]
The outro features a famous quote from "The Shining," adding a sinister and eerie conclusion to the song. This reference to a classic horror film ties back to the themes of fear and violence, leaving a lasting impression of the brutal reality 21 Savage portrays.
