Cheeto Dust
Funkshway Chronicles: Mike Mike's Grillin' Rhymes
Lyrics
Uh
Expression of uncertainty or hesitation
It's Dust
Referring to the artist as Dust
Yeah
Affirmation
Uh
Expression of uncertainty or hesitation
Still got barbecue twists on me
Still carrying the remnants of a barbecue-flavored snack
I still got barbecue twists on me
Repetition emphasizing the persistence of barbecue twists
I'm playin' bass I'm feelin' like I'm Ron Carter
Feeling confident and skilled in playing the bass, likening oneself to Ron Carter, a renowned bassist
You rappers want beats believe me don't fuckin' bother
Discouraging other rappers from seeking beats, asserting the artist's superiority
My shit be knockin' motherfucker my shit is proper
Boasting about the quality and impact of the artist's music
Shway Papers motherfucker
Reference to Shway Papers and financial success
We gettin' dollars
Stating the accumulation of wealth
Das EFX and I'm flippin' up them sewer caps
Channeling Das EFX and navigating challenges
I know you rappers be cappin' just in them raps you rap
Criticizing other rappers for fabricating stories in their lyrics
I'm just chillin' in fridge just like a caesar wrap
Relaxed and cool, similar to being in a refrigerator like a Caesar wrap
Motherfucker
Expression of confidence or defiance
Cheeto puff dust sittin' on the gun handle
Metaphor for confidence and swagger, with Cheeto puff dust symbolizing uniqueness
You rappers can't catch me like a Kyrie handle
Comparing elusiveness to Kyrie Irving's basketball moves
Used to drink the big bottle with the fuckin' handle
Recalling past experiences with alcohol
And be locked up with them dogs in the fuckin' kennel
Referencing a tough period, possibly incarceration
Hold it down '98 Freestyle shit
Nostalgia for '98 Freestyle era and paying homage to Big L
R.I.P. Big L on some real shit
Tribute to deceased artists Big L, Sean Price, and Big Pun
Sean Price, Big Pun best to do shit
Expression of confidence or defiance
Motherfucker
Repetition for emphasis or style
Gunshots and dirt bikes
Evoking urban sounds and activities
Barbecues and late nights
Listing elements of urban life, suggesting a mix of pleasure and struggle
Family fuckin' fistfights
Highlighting conflicts within the family
Me and Chad and Jay right
Reference to specific individuals, Chad and Jay
Writin' down my thoughts right
Recording personal thoughts or experiences
Poppin' pills catch flight
Referencing drug use or coping mechanisms
Mikey's fuckin' been nice
Asserting the artist's long-standing talent or skill
Grilled cheese paradise
Enjoyment of simple pleasures, like a grilled cheese
I got the burger and the shake that's a two-piece
Describing a satisfying meal with a burger and shake
You talk about the fam man you get two-pieced
Warning against disrespecting the artist's family
On the way home blarin' J Dilla beats
Recalling moments of relaxation and inspiration with J Dilla's beats
Motherfucker
Expression of confidence or defiance
Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
Repetition of "Funkshway until I die" as a mantra or lifestyle
Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
-Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
-Funkshway until I die
-Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
Continuation of the mantra, reinforcing commitment to the artist's style
Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
-Funkshway until I die 'til I die, uh
-Funkshway until I die
-Mike Mike!
