Kodak Black Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm living like 'Catch Me If You Can' you know?
It's the amazing true story of the youngest and most daring con-man
Tricky, swiftly, but yet viciously
There's always a mystery, everyday a new identity

Gemini, woke up on the wrong side of the sheets
Like really I shoulda been born on Halloween
I ain't no demon semen, but I do evil deeds

My daddy won't ever see me, I ain't no devil's seed
I don't remember his ass try checking up on me
Why you drop another album in a week
I'm a wolf but I be dressing like a sheep
Put on my monkey suit and go orangutan

Poppin monkeys, popping bottles
Make me swing
Who the fuck you walkin' in and out my dreams
I know I'm smart, you make me do some crazy things
Monkey on my back, let a nigga be
Please, niggas free out here but they ain't free
You out here physically, locked up mentally
Why everywhere I go, I gotta bring the ski
No face, no case, live everyday like Halloween

Gemini, woke up on the wrong side of the sheets
Like really I shoulda been born on Halloween
I ain't no demon semen, but I do evil deeds
My daddy won't ever see me, I ain't no devil's seed
I don't remember his ass try checking up on me
Why you drop another album in a week
I'm a wolf but I be dressing like a sheep
Put on my monkey suit and go orangutan

I'd trick so much individuals for a treat
K boogie wit a hoodie best believe
It's hot he got the hoodie on to hide the heat
And he got so much tricks up his sleeve
All the nights I had to mask up on the scheme
My subconscious got me fighting in my sleep
I can't forget about it I see it in my dreams
I'm kicking in yo door, but I don't want no sweets
And give me what I came for so I can leave
You know I'm serious don't you feel my energy
No this not a joke, everybody on they knees
Don't try to buck jack, you get buckeyed back

Gemini, woke up on the wrong side of the sheets
Like really I shoulda been born on Halloween
I ain't no demon semen, but I do evil deeds
My daddy won't ever see me, I ain't no devil's seed
I don't remember his ass try checking up on me
Why you drop another album in a week
I'm a wolf but I be dressing like a sheep
Put on my monkey suit and go orangutan

You ain't gotta be scared just respect a nigga please
I'm starting to think my cranium got a disease
They be like 'Yo Kodak I just seen you on the scene'
They be like 'I ain't approach you though, 'cause you was looking mean'
Don't need no friends I got a big family
I'm a G, it's in my genes
Glock 23, it's in my jeans
You playing freeze tag but I got that beam
Sorry baby I lied, you was just a fling
I don't love ya, I just wanna get in yo jeans
Tricked her for her treat, tricked her out her panties

I can't get romantic
No I'm not satanic

Overall Meaning

In Kodak Black's song Halloween, the rapper showcases his alter ego, Gemini, who has a deceptive personality, is tricky, and can swiftly change identities when necessary. He compares his life to the movie "Catch Me If You Can," a true story about a young and daring con-man. Gemini wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, feeling like he should have been born on Halloween. He admits to doing evil deeds but clarifies that he's not a devil's seed even if his father has never been present in his life. Gemini depicts himself as unpredictable as an orangutan, but despite his evil schemes, he doesn't want people to be afraid of him but rather respect him.

The song's hook describes the struggles and risks Kodak Black takes every day to survive. He believes that he has to wear a "monkey suit" or a disguise to blend in with the society to make it through the day. The chorus doesn't only refer to Halloween but to living life in fear, every day of the year. He paints a picture of a world where people are mentally imprisoned, and freedom is only a fleeting concept. Kodak's past criminal activities, which led to his incarceration, may have inspired his lyrics, emphasizing that freedom is elusive and should be appreciated.

In conclusion, Halloween is a song that discusses the struggles of living life in fear and how people dress up differently to meet society's expectations, despite their underlying agendas or personalities. Kodak Black's alter ego, Gemini, showcases the rapper's multifaceted lifestyle, which he knows can be detrimental to himself and others.
