50’s in the City Lyrics – Larry June, Cardo Got Wings

50’s in the City Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Larry June]
In this part, Larry’s setting a laid-back, late-night vibe. It feels like he’s just chilling, waiting for the night to really start, like that’s when the real action goes down. The quiet “shh” moments make it feel low-key and cool, while the shoutout to Cardo shows love to the producer for the beat. It’s almost like a smooth warm-up before the real flexing begins. He’s not rushing, just letting the mood build.

[Chorus: Larry June]
Larry’s painting a picture of his lifestyle in the Bay Area. Rocking a white tee, jeans, and a Frisco hat, he’s showing pride in his city and staying true to his roots. He’s out here enjoying life, keeping things fun and exciting, rolling with a cool attitude. He’s not stressing about someone who left him, and instead, he’s moving forward with confidence and women around him. He’s saying life in the city can get wild, so he stays ready and alert. With money in his pocket and style in his step, he knows people are drawn to his vibe. When he says someone wants to ride with him, it’s more than just a car ride—it’s being part of his lifestyle, the confidence, the money, the fun, and the way he handles himself.

[Verse 1: Larry June]
Here, Larry’s showing off how far he’s come. His jewelry shines, and he’s protected in case anything goes down. He’s been through struggles, but now he’s winning and enjoying success. He knows the streets are watching and hungry for realness, so he’s giving them something solid. He’s doing big numbers, probably talking money or streams, and encourages others to hustle too. He’s not in a gang but still carries status and respect. He’s one of a kind, just like you should be—living life in your own way.

[Chorus: Larry June]
He’s doubling down on his city pride and his personal swag. That same white tee and jeans combo with a Frisco cap says he doesn’t need to do too much to stand out. He’s got his city’s energy in him—keeping things real, fun, and fast-paced. He’s reminding people that life comes with ups and downs, but he stays cool and collected, even when things get rough. Riding around with someone special, holding money, and staying stylish—that’s just his everyday vibe. And when he says “I know you wanna slide,” he’s saying people are naturally drawn to his energy, lifestyle, and the way he moves.

[Verse 2: Larry June]
Larry’s fully in his zone now, living life how he wants. He’s confident and feeling good, especially after taking a hit, probably referring to weed. He makes it clear he doesn’t start drama over women, showing maturity and focus. He keeps protection on him just in case things go sideways. If someone comes with disrespect, he brushes it off easily. He’s got that player energy—not out here trying to run game on women, but being real with them. He’s also down to travel and enjoy life with someone who’s on the same page.

[Chorus: Larry June]
Once again, Larry gives us that signature picture—simple outfit, confidence, and city pride. He’s living fast, staying sharp, and having fun while staying out of drama. The repeated chorus shows how consistent he is with how he moves and lives. He’s not caught up in the past, not fazed by people who left or talked down. He surrounds himself with good vibes, stays fresh, keeps money on him, and attracts people naturally. His city and lifestyle are both full of flavor, and he’s just cruising through it all, smooth and unbothered.
