Warm Up Lyrics – Rio Da Yung OG

[Intro]
(Marc Boomin, this you?)
Mhm
Marc Boomin, I’m still fu*king with you, my baby
(Boomin need extras)

[Verse]
I should be with IUR ’cause I’m a dr—, alright
I just drunk a box of, I just, you know we be having to warm up
I just drunk a pint, could be with IUR ’cause I’m a Drank God
This rap s*it changed my life, I gotta thank God
Before I go to jail, I’m plotting now on how to break out
Pop up at a n!gga door with the Glock, he ordered takeout
I used to sell real pills, but they fake now
Too much pressure on a n!gga, I might break down
But when I think about my kids, they motivate me, so I’m straight now
Oh, ’cause I got a couple dollars, so I’m fake now?
They gon’ really hate me in four years if they hate now
Two chunks of money, both pockets got me weighed down
Four-five Glock, boom, boom, turn the bass down
Beefing with the whole city ’cause you only shoot waist down
Hit the n!gga in his forehead, he fell face down
Forty racks got me walking bow-leg, I get pape’ now
Alright, I just ate dinner, I want some cake now
Peezy told me I was gon’ come up ’cause I stayed down
Four chains on me now, I’m a lighthouse
Used to drink red and freestyle off the head at the White House
If you ever see me with a b!tch, she getting piped down
Supercharger on the Hellcat make a whine sound
Sliding on the first day, fu*k letting beef die down
This my third OxyContin 30, think I’m high now
You know them ‘bows I said I had wet? They dry now
In a S550 Benz, I’m just riding ’round
Hit six people in the crowd, I shot five times
Right now, my mouth dry, me and Ray just drunk five lines
I see your name in that paperwork, I got it highlighted
I can’t believe them n!ggas said I told, I am not Johnny
Still riding ’round looking for that one n!gga who shot—
Oh, they said the clubs back open? Something getting dropped Friday
Came to the club to spank something, I do not party
I’ll never steal from my blood, I am not Charlie
At this point in life, fu*k everybody, so I’m name dropping
You say you want a zip? I’m on the way, bro, the ‘caine locking
Finna start wearing Girbauds with the strap, they got eight pockets
Dub play, but I spent twelve, it was eight profit
I tell a b!tch exactly how it is, bae, I ain’t toxic
I’m with the ChoppaBoys, we’ll send a n!gga to a brain doctor
RayRay got me riding with a Drac’, I used to hate choppers
Jump out on you with a hundred shots, they like, “Damn, he ain’t stopping”
Got into a shootout in the hood with a gray Glocky
Stupid n!gga thought he had Trish, it was eight Wocky
Tried to charge a hundred for the lines, I gave him eighty dollars
I just poured a four of straight drop in my daughter baby bottle
Yeah, I love my b!tch, she my friend and my baby mama
When y’all was walking to the store ten deep, I had Dre, Mo, Rada
When a broke n!gga talk ’bout what he had, we just change topics
I just made forty racks all pros off some fake Roxies

[Outro]
Yeah, Ghetto Boy s*it, n!gga
Yeah, this rap s*it serious, man, but we still fu*k with the R’s too
You know what I’m saying? We ain’t gon’ get into that
The ghetto free, b!tch, we gon’ just keep saying it

[VERSE]

Rio Da Yung OG’s verse delves into the intricacies of his life experiences, emotions, and reflections, offering a multi-layered portrayal of his existence in the streets. He opens by contemplating his affiliation with IUR (presumably a reference to a street crew or lifestyle) and acknowledges his status and role (“I should be with IUR ’cause I’m a dr—, alright”). This line sets the tone for the subsequent exploration of Rio’s thoughts and actions.

The mention of “drunk a box of” and the notion of “warming up” allude to the rituals or coping mechanisms Rio and his peers employ to prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the challenges they face.

Amidst the allure of street life and the looming threat of incarceration, Rio reveals a sense of introspection and strategic planning (“Before I go to jail, I’m plotting now on how to break out”).

The verse is replete with imagery of violence, survival, and defiance, underscoring the harsh realities Rio navigates daily. He describes confrontations (“Pop up at a n!gga door with the Glock, he ordered takeout”), the erosion of trust in his community (“I used to sell real pills, but they fake now”), and the psychological toll of his circumstances (“Too much pressure on a n!gga, I might break down”).
