Bitter Raps Lyrics
Yo it's a thin line between opinions and bitterness, my nigga
Choose wisely
Ayo, this thirsty shit could be a real deadly thing, bruh
Don't be the next victim of Thirst 48
Unless it's too late
I think it is
Whoa, ugh
[Verse 1]
And I'm a witness (I'm a witness), shit
I hate when niggas get to flexing
Just to show off for some bitches (For some bitches)
But still ain't got none, hmm (And still ain't got none)
You smoke 'em out just for the kisses
Always asking for a shotgun
You need to kill that (Need to kill that), whoa
I know I always say I'm numb
So you should know that we don't feel that (We don't feel that)
No, we don't feel that (We don't feel that), huh
But we ain't on the same thing, no, we ain't on the same thing
So what you saying? (What you saying?)
Ugh, I hate when niggas get grown up
And out of nowhere, get to banging (Oh he banging?)
Like where you hanging? (Where you hanging?)
Hmm, I wonder if them niggas know you
At the place that you be claiming (Prolly not)
Or you just acting (Or you just acting), whoa
And most you niggas is my sons
Shit, I should claim you on my taxes (On my taxes)
It's more than rapping (It's more than rapping), ha
But we ain't on the same thing, no, we ain't on the same thing
I love y'all bitches' twerk videos, though
It's just y'all ego I hate sometimes, haha
Oh
Yeah
And you niggas really gotta stop doing these gay-ass poses all over the social, like, tryna be models
I don't know if niggas is models, rappers, or what
The fuck is going on, bruh?
Real rap, ugh
[Verse 2]
Somebody help me (Somebody help me), whoa
I hate when niggas roll up weak blunts
Just so they can take a selfie (Take a selfie?)
Got me hot, though (Got me hot, though), ugh
I hate when niggas pop a pill
And start to thinking that they macho (Oh, you thugging?)
Like he a savage (Who he think he is?), hmm
I hate when niggas get to flexing
Just to show off for some ratchets (For some ratchets)
Oh shit, I said that (Oh shit, I said that), damn
I guess I'm on the same thing, I'm prolly on the same thing
Go 'head and try me (Go 'head and try me, though), whoa
I hate how every LA rapper try to make a song like YG
Like, be creative (Be creative), ugh
I hate when bitches call me bro
When I already seen them naked (Seen them naked)
We ain't related (We ain't related)
Ugh, damn, man, I hate it (Hate it)
My most honest opinion? I feel like all you niggas wack (Wack)
Take this weed and roll it up up in these bitter raps
I'm killing y'all
About
One of the more popular tracks from his debut album Thirst 48, “Bitter Raps” lets us see Boogie killing all kinds of people, verse by verse.
He opens by warning of bitterness, but often straddles the line between opinion and bitterness: there’s a sense of potential hypocrisy that he is more aware of as the song goes on, finally saying admitting that he’s prolly on the same thing.
This idea of hypocrisy also ties to the bigger ideas of the album Thirst 48: the tension (and maybe difference) between Boogie’s own thirstiness, his own hunger for making it and the thirstiness of others – those who aren’t acting right in the name of getting women, attention on social media, power, fame, etc.

In an interview, Boogie said:
One day, my computer disk was playing my iTunes randomly and I heard the beat and I said like the first line: “I hate when niggas get to flexing just to show off for some bitches” and I said damn, I hate more than that though. So I just built of other stuff that I hated. And i realized that I hate a lot of stuff. […] Especially in our generation []like}, you can’t even […] really speak how you really feel without people either thinking bitter or thirsty […].
