Lil B’s Fuck Ya Money, the third track from God’s Father, is an emotional PLEA, son. We’re lost in the greed, man!!!! FUCK YA MONEY, BABY. 

Producer BigBoyTraks, sampling Tears For Fears’ Advice for the Young at Heart, gives Lil B the base he needs to make the people FEEL. He reminds us in the intro that love triumphs over money: 

“Yo how much money you got? You know that shit don’t matter. You know we thuggin’ on the block heavily, you feel me? I’m going all the way in”

Lil B has to hustle to make ends meet, so fuck ya money.

• “My momma said never show you pain starts /
  So I try not to cry I just mug niggas /
  I got a brother /
  And niggas that I care about /
  And I give a fuck /
  And I know that I give a fuck /
  I give a shit”
  
• “I lost family from way back /
  I Start to think, 
  It is safe to move slow creep /
  I don’t know but I still move cautious,
  Eyes move right to left get nauseous,
  I say I’m the best and I feel flawless,
  Half of you niggas don’t speak you look jawless”
  

Also, love that the nasally voice comes out towards the end. We love the Based God’s nasally voice. YA FEEL ME

omg 

I think this is like for sure (correctly) considered one of Based God’s most undisputed classics by listeners far and wide.  The BasedGod’s Layer is of course a strong & interesting introduction for God’s Father, but I Own Swag is the ultimate banger that starts the mixtape off just right.  Putting the beat from David Banner’s Swag in a body bag, this shit slaps for days, baby. 

Opening verse: flames

Bitch I own swag / 
I’mma star like I’m in SAG /
I’m so fab like I’m in Sac /
I tote that Tec, and I hold that Mac /
Got a few scratches up on that gun /
I straight spit like I ain’t got no tongue /
Bitch came asking me questions /
“Where’s my car?” / 
Bitch which one?! 

Most of the lyrics are pretty memorable, actually.  But it’s important to recognize the incredible moment where Based God belts out some truth:

You know I’m more famous than you, than you /
And I can do everything that you can’t do, or try to

Other stray thought: Is this the origin of Obama Based God?

This is the kind of introduction you expect for Lil B’s legendary mixtape, God’s Father. 

You’ve never heard of the Based God? (laughs)

Welcome to the BasedGod’s Layer. This track is really all encompassing. As many of B’s tracks are, it’s about life & death and everything in between. Remember that mortality is fragile, but do not let that fact consume you.

I ain’t petty /
But the glock so heavy /
Drop shots, spaghetti /
Left or a leftee /
Or a booger, you fat or a hefty /
I’ma give ‘em back raw coke /
Ya boy too clean, like a used bar of soap

Just sit back & relax. Enter the BasedGod’s Layer. 

the FINAL TRACK on red flame.  This shit slaps.  As is the case with many Lil B tracks, he starts off with a shout out to the haters. Remind em, let em know. Because this is some important subject matter. 

This is a coming of age story. Lil Boss started as a child, and emerged a legend.

Hand down niggas, I ain’t ask for shit /
Except freedom of a judge, I was a bastard kid / 
But my dad wasn’t around, that’s so weird / 
And he tried to show me love, father I moved /
Don’t know what a man is /
Grew a beard not knowing what the strands is /
Paint from the canvas /
They ain’t put me on the original version /
Now Lil B is here, the mythical version

Remember Red Flame & remember Lil B.

“Thank y’all for listening to Red Flame the whole way through and not skipping a song, that’s the definition of a classic.”

Bless u and thank you, based god. 

Finally, we have arrived at the penultimate track on Red Flame, Based Niggas. This is fairly standard Lil B fare, but I actually think the hook is pretty interesting. 

They call me deala (DEALA!)
They say we killas (KILLAS!)
Who we be? (what?)
Based niggas

Regardless, it’s definitely worth a listen, even at four minutes. Also listen for the chance to hear Lil B embody the likes of Phil Collins, George Clooney and Ethan Hawke. 

I kind of feel like Woo Woo Swag is Red Flame’s version of the legendary Wonton Soup.  While it’s definitely less iconic, the track has a hook that gets repeated 8 times in between each of the two verses.  

• “Girl is a freak, I can see it in her eye / Young Based God bought the bitch like a pie”
  
• “Bitch so exquisite, rich game hit list / Young Based God fucked a bitch on Christmas / Left hand stripper, ice chain naked / 
  Iced out ear ring, 10G bracelet / 30 on my dick cuz I’m still in the Matrix
  
• “Feed my bitch broccoli, pinky ring cocky / keeping 10 hoes weighed down like Rocky”
  

I hope y’all are ready for a no nonsense BANGER. 

We haven’t heard the Based God channel a celebrity since the acclaimed Bitch I’m Bill Clinton, four tracks ago.  And as consistent as ever, Lil B delivers another high quality song with all the right references. 

• “I look like Paris Hilton / Chain Ellen DeGeneres / Rang Mel Gibson / Chain Jessica Simpson”
• “Where’s Trace Cyrus, I’m on the Waterfront / Real hood shorty swagged-up to the maximum”
  
• “Party In the USA, ohmygod!”

The Trace Cyrus allusion is absolutely brilliant, you have to truly embody someone to go that deep. Like Trace is a super weird dude.  Lil B keeps it so real, by skipping straight over Billy Ray, yet keeps it so perfectly on the nose with the strong Party In the USA finish.

I feel like Fuck My Bitch is pretty solid.  Based god rips into a gnarly beat with some fire ass bars. It’s definitely consistent with what makes a Lil B track, the usual off kilter boasts with tons of oddities.  However, I think in this instance whatever bizarre shit your boy came up with is a real goddamn good time.

• I need a bag of dope, need a bag of dope / I’m birdman bitch, I’m Birdman
  
• You can fuck my bitch / It’s happy hour / Two pistols on my side, I’m a fucking coward
  
• Bruh I feel like black Jesus / Think I’m a bitch? I’ll give you a black Caesar
  
• Where’s my bitches? / Where’s my grapes?
