oHio Lyrics

Artist: Schoolboy Q

Background and Context Schoolboy Q, a key figure in contemporary hip-hop, is known for his gritty narratives that often draww from his own life experiences, including his time in the streets and his journey to success. His music frequently addresses themes of identity, resilience, and critique of societal norms. Main Message and Theme In "oHio," Schoolboy Q delivers a complex narrative that weaves together themes of sucess, survival, and self-assertion. The repeated references to "stack my Os like Ohio" serve as a metaphor for accumulating success and wealth, aligning with the motif of self-made prosperity that runs through much of Q's work. This line cleverly plays on the visual representation of the letter 'O' and the geographical outline of Ohio, symbolizing stacking accomplishments or wealth. The lyrics oscillate between reflections on personal achievements and confrontations with adversaries or critics. Phrases like "Lookin' at your life, that's a long no / Lookin' at my life, think he Pablo" contrast the rapper's triumphant narrative with the perceived failures or shortcomings of others. This comparison not only highlights his success but also serves to critique societal values that prioritize material wealth and status. Schoolboy Q's acknowledgment of his close encounters with death, "Almost died twice but let's get it," underscores the resilience required to navigate the dangers of his previous lifestyle. Meanwhile, the mention of "Got a AmEx with no limits" and "Getting head in Paris, that's different" illustrates a shift from survival to indulgence, marking his transition from hardship to luxury. The song also delves into themes of authenticity and the perils of fame. Verses like "Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go" and the vivid imagery of lavish lifestyles juxtaposed with street credibility reflect the tensions between maintaining authenticity while navigating the trappings of success. Interpretation "oHio" is a multifaceted track that encapsulates Schoolboy Q's journey from the streets to the heights of the music industry, marked by both personal and professional victories. The song navigates the complexities of this transition, highlighting the challenges of staying true to one's roots while embracing the newfound status and wealth. Through a blend of braggadocio and introspection, Schoolboy Q reflects on the dualities of his life, weaving together themes of resilience, authenticity, and the relentless pursuit of success. This interpretation, based on the lyrics and Schoolboy Q's established thematic concerns, suggests that "oHio" is both a celebration of achievements and a meditation on the costs and challenges that accompany fame and fortune in the rap game.

Throw that one dress on for me, for me
All these f**kin' ideas

Gotta catch up to my levels
Tryna stay black, young fellow
Almost died twice but let's get it
Got a AmEx with no limits
Getting head in Paris, that's different
I done hit the world, my crippin'
I done leveled up my livin'
I ain't dancing 'round in no skillet
Oh, you're prostituting need pimpin'
We gon' find the truth in your children
Ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Got me a Rollie, my roots in the soil
Downin' a bottle, my president gold
Dance in the pussy and cum in her throat
Sippin' the clear when I open the door
Come get a halo or get on the floor
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Been through your hood, I done seen it before
'Member me? I done came through in a ghost
Married the thing I considered a no
Nosy as hell, she irritable
Throw 10 on that thing, I be doin' the most
Ski in the desert or ski in the snow
Ski in the desert or ski in the scope
f**k do you mean? It's a hook right here
f**k do you mean? I could skate right here
f**k do you mean? I could play right here
Be with the brothers or be with the locs
Somethin' is funny, you might be the joke
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Time to get money, let's get it and go
Nigga, your b**ch got a negative ass
Nigga, you lame, better stay in the past
Tried them before, I'ma do it again
You rap niggas be kickin' at shins
You holla at the moon while watching it bloom
b**ch ass nigga done sparked the fuse
b**ch ass nigga done came to lose
Rich ass nigga might change your mood
Found out, nigga, you breakin' news
Damn near fifty, got sh*t to prove
Old ass nigga done turned to food
Hell nah, boy, I don't f**k with you
How you gangsta and gullible?
b**ch, you a ho, you eligible
Yeah, nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go
Nigga, you pussy, you know where to go

That's fire, that's gas, man
That's the same one
Aye, that's game, that's game
That's game
That's game, that's game
That's game, that's game, cuz

How much more I gotta prove?
How much more I gotta lose?
I was just a kid staring at the ceiling, now stars on the roof
Now salt water slide pools
DRC's, not booze
Since a kid, made moves
Who the big call me now?
Wow, style
Put a nose on a clown
Ain't no hoes in the crowd
Now the real one around
Who gon' help when you drown?
Know he lost but he brave
But a loss what it gave
Kinda off and it's strange
How you deal with the fame?
Stayed away from the lames
Thank God for today
I'm back in love and it's great
Still a whole lotta s-
Time to shut sh*t down
Turn me up then, b**ch
Run it up then, b**ch
Hella hoes like Prince
Now the gang got rich
Time to shut sh*t down
Down, ooh

Turn me up then, b**ch
Run it up then, b**ch
Hella hoes like Rick James
Niggas coming for the crown, crown, crown
Time to shut sh*t down (down, down)
Time to shut sh*t down
Chevy pedal to the ground
Everybody wanna try to kill the rabbit, now you lackin', nigga, now
Dust ball niggas biting nigga's style, style
So I gotta keep switching up
Ten plus, runnin' millions up
I done locked like fifty-seven b**ches up
Figure f**k it, f**k it
A hundred million tears in the bucket
Set of sisters, got 'em suckin' f**kin', Minnesota twins, nigga, Kirby Puckett
Bumping h-town, part time lover
Or knockin' the boots
In a drop top coupe
Hoes f**kin' for the clout, not the loot
Yeah
Smack a nigga in his mouth for the loot
If I ever see that pussy nigga academics I'ma catch another lawsuit
Hundred million tears in the bucket
Send a hitta, take it out the budget
You the most hated and they gotta love it like f**k it (f**k it)
A hundred million tears in the bucket
Send a hitta, take it out the budget
You the most hated and they gotta love it like f**k it
Yeah
Big rabbit
Kane
