Back In The A Lyrics – Gunna

[Intro]
A

[Chorus]
And I’m right back in the A
Smooth, I ain’t leaving no trace (Smooth)
Racks on me (Racks), racks on me, fresh out the chase
You got it off the display (‘Splay), I got it from the runway
I got it (I got it), fu*k it, I go Arthur Blank
I don’t do this s*it for the fame
Uh, stacking these Benjamin Franks (Stacking ’em)
You rich, they don’t give you no rank (Nah)
You thinking it’s that, but it ain’t (It ain’t)
That four-door Maybach in the A (The A)
Pulling up all kinds of ways

[Verse 1]
A, A, A, A (Okay)
I got these hoes on the score
B!tches like Marilyn Monroe (It’s on)
Can’t beat me, I’m standing ten toes (Uh)
I’ma get my dogs back in the row (Back in the row)
AP all factory gold (Gold)
I been getting back in that mode (I’m back in it)
Baby got a drip like Gunna (Gunna)
I see how you mixing designer (Designer)
My car is half a million dollars
I came a long way from Impalas
I still got some snakes and iguanas
I’m in the chase, on the way to these commas
I hold the bank, ain’t no way I could fumble
A long way, but I’m getting out this tunnel

[Chorus]
A, A, A, A
And I’m right back in the A
Smooth, I ain’t leaving no trace (Smooth)
Racks on me (Racks), racks on me, fresh out the chase
You got it off the display (‘Splay), I got it from the runway
I got it (I got it), fu*k it, I go Arthur Blank
I don’t do this s*it for the fame
Uh, stacking these Benjamin Franks (Stacking ’em)
You rich, they don’t give you no rank (Nah)
You thinking it’s that, but it ain’t (It ain’t)
That four-door Maybach in the A (The A)
Pulling up all kinds of ways

[Verse 2]
A, A, A, A (Okay)
Land at the port, I’m back (I’m back)
85 south to the flat, yeah
Take that b!tch, take the Maybach down the nat (Take that b!tch)
I put the drip on the map (Map)
Platinum on all of the plaques
Wunna got millionaire status
Sunday Onyx and Monday at Magic (Magic)
Throw it back, throw it back on a baddie (Baddie)
All black, put the matte on the Caddy (Matte on the Caddy)
I’ma get paid automatic (‘Matic)
I ain’t asking you n!ggas for credit (Asking you n!ggas for credit)
I’m in the town, I don’t need no addy (Addy)
It’s going down and we always ready (Ready)

[Chorus]
A, A, A, A
And I’m right back in the A
Smooth, I ain’t leaving no trace (Smooth)
Racks on me (Racks), racks on me, fresh out the chase
You got it off the display (‘Splay), I got it from the runway
I got it (I got it), fu*k it, I go Arthur Blank
I don’t do this s*it for the fame
Uh, stacking these Benjamin Franks (Stacking ’em)
You rich, they don’t give you no rank (Nah)
You thinking it’s that, but it ain’t
It ain’t
That four-door Maybach in the A
The A
Pulling up all kinds of ways
A, A, A, A

In the chorus of “Back In The A,” Gunna portrays his triumphant return to Atlanta, often referred to as ‘the A,’ with an air of confidence and pride. The repetition of “A” emphasizes his strong connection to the city and hints at his dominance within its music scene. Gunna’s assertion of being “smooth” suggests his ability to navigate the streets of Atlanta seamlessly without attracting unwanted attention. By claiming he “ain’t leaving no trace,” he implies a level of discretion in his movements, perhaps to avoid unnecessary attention or conflicts.

The imagery of “racks on me, fresh out the chase” alludes to Gunna’s recent acquisition of wealth, potentially from a successful pursuit or endeavor. He contrasts his source of income with those who merely put their riches on display, indicating a preference for a more understated approach. Gunna’s mention of obtaining his riches from the runway as opposed to the display suggests a sense of exclusivity or authenticity in his possessions, as if he’s privy to insider knowledge or connections.

The reference to “Arthur Blank,” the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, carries connotations of success and influence within the city. Gunna implies that his motivations extend beyond mere fame, as he explicitly states, “I don’t do this s*it for the fame.” This assertion underscores his desire for genuine accomplishment and lasting impact, rather than fleeting celebrity status. By stacking “Benjamin Franks” (hundred-dollar bills), Gunna emphasizes his focus on accumulating wealth and financial stability, rather than seeking validation or recognition from others.

In the first verse, Gunna delves deeper into his personal journey, recounting the hurdles he’s overcome and the milestones he’s achieved. His reference to “hoes on the score” suggests his success in romantic endeavors, likening his allure to that of the legendary Marilyn Monroe. Gunna’s declaration of standing “ten toes” reflects his steadfastness and resilience in the face of adversity, as he remains unwavering in his pursuit of success.

The imagery of “AP all factory gold” signifies Gunna’s affinity for luxury and opulence, with the AP likely referring to an Audemars Piguet watch, known for its prestige and craftsmanship. Gunna juxtaposes his current lavish lifestyle with his humble beginnings, symbolized by the mention of “snakes and iguanas,” implying a significant rise in status and fortune. His commitment to financial growth and stability, as indicated by his pursuit of “commas,” showcases his maturity and long-term vision for success.

The second chorus reaffirms Gunna’s pride in his roots and his unapologetic pursuit of wealth and success. His insistence on being “right back in the A” underscores his deep connection to Atlanta and his determination to thrive within its vibrant culture. Gunna’s smooth and calculated approach to life is highlighted once again, emphasizing his ability to maneuver through various situations with ease and finesse.

Overall, “Back In The A” serves as both a celebration of Gunna’s achievements and a testament to his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Through vivid imagery and confident lyricism, Gunna paints a picture of his ascent to success while remaining grounded in his roots and unwavering in his pursuit of greatness.
