BOSWELL Lyrics – Westside Gunn

BOSWELL Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone with confidence and aggression. The artist is making it clear that he’s not someone to be messed with—if you try to challenge him, you’ll face consequences. He’s been warning people about his dominance, but they refuse to acknowledge it. He calls them “infidels,” implying they don’t believe in his greatness. The phrase “I’m the greatest” reinforces his self-proclaimed superiority, setting up the song’s theme of power, respect, and street credibility.

[Verse 1]
Estee Nack starts by describing himself as having “360 vision,” meaning he’s always aware of his surroundings. He references drügs, comparing the process of refining coc*ine to creating an artistic sculpture. He name-drops Nicaragua, a country known for drug trafficking, reinforcing the theme of the street hustle. The “Super Saiyan” line suggests he’s on another level, like a powerful warrior in Dragon Ball Z.

He mentions “death squad” and “headshot,” emphasizing violence and finality—when he takes action, it’s game over for his enemies. The “Nasdaq numbers” and “hustling fast track” show that he’s making serious money, possibly comparing street dealings to stock market moves.

Then, he boasts about his wealth, talking about a friend carrying 50K in cash and references to designer drügs like “blueberry pill.” He stays calm (“very chill”) despite the chaos, but he’s still ruthless, making a shocking statement about throwing someone’s baby mother off a Ferris wheel.

The verse closes with drug-related references, warning that stealing or making the wrong move in the game can get someone killed. “Taking Ls like Benadryl” suggests that his enemies are constantly losing and falling asleep, reinforcing his dominance.

[Bridge]
This is just a quick shoutout to his people, reinforcing the song’s energy and paying tribute to Nack and Flygod.

[Verse 2]
Westside Gunn opens by describing his flashy lifestyle—his socks are “glowing,” meaning he’s shining in luxury. Drug fiends are coming and going, showing the non-stop hustle. He’s bagging drügs in high-end Louis Vuitton gear, treating it like an everyday routine.

He references a user sniffing coc*ine so strong that he tears his shirt like Hulk Hogan, showing how intense his product is. There’s also a line about blowing a kiss at the CEO “like Goldust,” referencing the WWE wrestler known for his flamboyant persona.

Gunn then mentions “Big Dump,” a New Orleans street legend, tying into the song’s theme of street credibility. He talks about having “powwows,” meaning meetings where knowledge is shared, hinting at passing down street wisdom. Even though he doesn’t speak Spanish, he knows enough to handle drug deals.

He flexes his wealth again, mentioning expensive masks, luxury cars, and fine dining. The line about “Pray For Paris” references his 2020 album, showing how his success has put him ahead of others. He ends by referencing sweeping up “a brick,” slang for a kilogram of drügs, showing that he’s still deeply connected to the drug trade.

[Verse 3]
Stove God Cooks starts with a spiritual vibe, covering his “third eye” to avoid seeing evil but still hearing temptation. He’s haunted by demons of his past, meaning the consequences of his lifestyle still affect him. He mentions “Victor” (likely Victorinox, a luxury brand) and carrying a “kilo,” again referring to drug trafficking.

He paints a picture of being so deep in the drug world that even if he wasn’t rapping, he’d be cooking crack in someone’s apartment. He dismisses women, saying even if they seem pure, they’re still involved in the game somehow. He boasts about his knowledge of coc*ine slang, implying that others can’t keep up with him.

The Tesla reference suggests that his presence commands silence—people talk a lot but go quiet when he’s around. The Louis Vuitton airbags and expensive lifestyle flex his wealth, while the “Scorpion” line may hint at a car model or weaponry. He’s always prepared, making sure his “money power” is intact.

He struggles to let go of the drug game, symbolized by still wearing Adidas nights and being “deep in white” (coc*ine). His mother warned him not to get involved, but he ignored her advice. He calls himself a “grand wizard,” meaning he’s a master at his craft, with “glass pop blizzard” symbolizing crack production.

The verse ends with pure confidence—he claims people envy him but can never be him. They copy his style, but they’ll never match his originality. The water-walking line makes a god-like reference, showing his untouchable status. Finally, he mentions his plug being stuck at the border, causing supply chain issues, but he’s still making money, proven by dropping K on courtside seats and only staying for a quarter of the game.
