Rap Translation: Like A G6

Hello friends,
The moment comes for every person: Their iPod dies.
They are lost and alone in a sea of traffic. So they turn on the radio.

And a song comes on that is unlike any other.

Because it is beautiful. It is whimsical.
It has a legit hook that, quite literally, has captured your heart.
It has multiple drug references.

And it is all you can do not to not listen to it, with a slight tear in your eye.

But what does it mean?

What is a G6? What is fizz? Can one really (and I mean really) get "slizzared"... and what does that actually do to your mental, emotional and physical abilities?

CALM DOWN.

It is in response to these, and many other questions, that I present to you (with the help of Urban Dictionary):

"Like A G6"
The Translation.

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard

Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6

Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6

Like a G6, Like a G6

Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6

As if it were in an icy storm, my drink has been chilled.

I drink it correctly. That is to say, I drink it in order to become intoxicated.

While driving in my car, I drink a flavored soda with Promethazine in order to impair my basic motor skills, therefore increasing my feeling of being like Three 6 Mafia, the hip-hop group.

I feel as if I am flying in either a mid-sized vehicle no longer made by Pontiac or a Gulfstream jet that costs $58.5 million.

Like a mid-sized Pontiac or a Gulfstream jet, Like a mid-sized Pontiac or a Gulfstream Jet

I feel like I am flying in a mid-sized Pontiac.


Gimme that Mo-Moet

Gimme that Cry-Crystal

Ladies love my style, at my table gettin wild

Get them bottles poppin, we get that drip and that drop

Now give me 2 more bottles cuz you know it don’t stop

Please, give me that variety of champagne.

Please, give me that Cocaine.

The women love the way I spend my free time

Indeed, they are enjoying themselves at my table.

We open bottles. They make dripping noises. Because they are liquid.

And momma didn’t raise no fool. I know what liquids sounds like.

Please, give me two more bottles.

You know from past experience, this will not end anytime soon.


(808) Hell Yeaa

Drink it up, drink-drink it up,

When sober girls around me, they be actin like they drunk

They be actin like they drunk, actin-actin like they drunk

When sober girls around me actin-actin like they drunk

Hell. Yes. (Excitement)

Drink these beverages! Drink these beverages!

Even those women who are sober appear to become intoxicated by my very presence.

They act intoxicated, they act, they act, intoxicated.

Even women who are sober appear to become intoxicated by my very presence.

Sippin on, sippin on sizz, Ima ma-make it fizz

Girl i keep it gangsta, poppin bottles at the crib

This is how we live, every single night

Take that bottle to the head, and let me see you fly

I enjoy free-basing black tar heroine on aluminum foil. I make it high.

And when I say this, I mean I become high. From free-basing off black tar heroine.

Young woman, I am a member of a gang, you can tell because I open bottles at my home.

This is how I enjoy every evening of the week.

Please, allow this alcoholic beverage to impare your judgment.

I want to see what you act like when you believe you can fly like a mid-sized Pontiac.

Its that 808 bump, make you put yo hands up

Make you put yo hands up, put yo, put yo hands up

(You can’t Touch this)

Its that 808 bump, make you put yo hands up

Make you put yo hands up, put yo, put yo hands up

(You can’t Touch this)

Hell Yeaaa, Make you put yo hands up, put yo put yo hands up

Hell Yeaaa, Make you put yo hands up, put yo put yo hands up

The base from the stereo causes your hands to rise.

Indeed, it forces you to put your hands up, your hands up, your hands up.

(You cannot touch me, because I have far exceeded your capacity for comprehension.)

Hell. Yesss. You must put your hands up, put your hands up.

Repeat.
