Playboi Carti is back in the Top 5 of the Genius Top Songs chart with another track that might appear on his anticipated third album, possibly titled MUSIC or I AM MUSIC. It’s called “EVILJ0RDAN,” and like the other songs he’s given us recently—“H00DBYAIR,” “BACKR00MS,” etc.—it’s a bleak trap jam with ice-cold lyrics that arrived in the form of an Instagram music video.
The song’s opening lines seem appropriate coming from a guy who once drove 133 miles per hour en route to the airport. (Shoutout to Genius user @gibbalisious for the annotation about that traffic stop.) But the Atlanta rapper probably isn’t just talking about his recklessness behind the wheel.
First I go whip out the boat
No, I can’t hit on no brakes
My life is out of control
I’m tellin’ you, nobody safe
Later in the hook-free track’s solitary verse, Carti tells us point blank how he’ll deal with his adversaries.
Spin on the block, have a pussy nigga stained
I just put on my boots, ain’t worried ’bout no rain
Put a nigga down, Channel 2 front page
He continues the gun talk a few lines later and also boasts about how he changed music.
I put duct tape on my switch, perfect aim
They can’t put me in no genre baby, ’cause I changed the game
On a happier note, Carti seems to have found a young woman he can really vibe with. Catch them at the mall buying cosmetics and lingerie.
I fucked the bitch so nasty, we go Sephora then we go PINK
She not so fuckin’ toxic, and she care about what I think
She’s nothin’ like no other bitches, she care about what I drink
