“Pick A Bag” is a song about choosing a bag. The bags are representing Heaven and Hell. Aha in verse 1 puts up a front that he’s strong, courageous, and having fun. Transitioning to verse 2, however, there becomes an uncertainty in his tone. He starts the same way as he did in verse 1, but changes...
[Intro]
Pick a bag, (Pick a bag)
Man, forget the tag
Ain't no switching swags
If you into that
I need you to get back, get back, get back, (Woo)
This ain't a fact
Now they gettin' mad
Try'na reprimand
They don't understand
I need you to get back, get back, get back
[Chorus]
(Ooohhhh)
Pick a bag, (Pick a bag)
Man, forget the tag
Ain't no switching swags
If you into that, (If you into that)
I need you to get back, get back, get back, (Get back)
This ain't a fact, (This ain't a fact)
Now they gettin' mad
Try'na reprimand
They don't understand, (They don't understand)
I need you to get back, get back, get back
[Verse 1]
We gon' fly, (We gon' fly)
Never seen a spaceship, now don't get scared
Now I get inside, (Now I get inside)
Thanks for walking with me and not runnin' away
Now listen, take a ride, (Now take a ride)
It ain't no fun if I'm the only one, so we two alive, (We two alive)
The super villains tried to pull a Krillin, until they realized, we don't die, (we don't die)
You can get in your feelings
You ain't got to feel me
I'mma touch the sky
Everybody with me down to take a charge
And they won't ask why
It's real chilly up at the top like some frito pie
In a dark world, I melt the bars when I sing up high
They like, "Hold up, where you been bro?"
And I respond, "Do I look like an elbow?"
I'm in accessories, so what I'm gonna tell for?
I give'em all a hard time like a shell toe
I be trippin', but I ain't never fell tho
I'm where I'm sposed to be, and I ain't talkin' Mel tho
Once I rub
Once I smooth
Mix it all together you gon' get stuck, that's Velcro
They like, "Aha, can I get your info?"
I have to say, "No, leave it to my kinfolk"
I'm movin' under the radar like limbo
Everything was simpler when I was just Ben's bro
In the flesh like, "Wait, where did the skin go?"
And you know I saw fries, so my inside's dyin'
Kenny red leather like the inside dyed
But I ain't talkin' Easter, so you better pick a side
[Chorus]
Pick a bag, (Pick a bag)
Man, forget the tag
Ain't no switching swags
If you into that, (If you into that)
I need you to get back, get back, get back, (Get back)
This ain't a fact, (This ain't a fact)
Now they gettin' mad
Try'na reprimand
They don't understand, (They don't understand)
I need you to get back, get back, get back
[Verse 2]
We gon' fly, (We gon' fly)
Never seen a spaceship, but don't get scared
Now just get inside, (Now just get inside)
I don't get scared
I'm way too prepared
Okay, wait, maybe I lied
Maybe I'm ascared of the fact that
This nerd doesn't have all the facts
Maybe I'm scared y'all gon come to y'all senses
And realize the only thing that I can do is rap
Maybe I'm afraid that they'll see all this courage
That I has really a front
And they gon all turn they back
And they'll switch sides to a clean, white guy
Who can rhyme and nobody
Wanna buy if he was black
Bet they'll switch to a next door dealer who be throwin' out stacks
That was really from the trap cause
The dreads don't work if they interviewer asks
Why a track so hot, but the life don't match
But I can get the party lit though
All red-leather couch
I be chillin' in the VIP tho
I got the matchin' leather jacket you don't have
It's a rapper stuntin' hard, don't ask if it zip tho
I'm on my mind like Kimbrough
I got a bus so big man it got it's own zip code
Don't ask me how cause I don't know why
But I know one thing for sure man
We don't fly, (We don't fly)
We didn't switch up
We didn't switch sides
And we still survive
Got some people try'na blow our heads off
But guess what, we don't mind
Cause I don't think about it
I just be about it
I know this party's lit
But you should leave without me
Don't let me let you down
Cause I can't save you
I can't change you
The only thing that I can do is say cool phrases, like
"You reap what you sow, so watch how you treat people
Life comes around like a big old bagel"
Maybe I'm afraid that I realized I just know a few Bible verses
I ain't really even that wise
Just another black guy
Who even though he got baptized
Can't resist a yellow bone with some green eyes
[Outro]
I'm big chillin' in the sky with the sinners
Judgment real cloudy cause I'm riding on a nimbus
When I first started I was just a pretender
But I took the sense of being and came back to my senses
This a little story all about how I went from biggest loser
Straight to big pimpin'
Had the biggest glow up
But I was tryna blow up
