Like A Band Lyrics – Trippie Redd

Like A Band Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
Here, Trippie Redd is expressing pure frustration with life, like he’s yelling out how painful and tough it really is. He’s not sugarcoating anything—he feels overwhelmed and angry. When he says he’s gonna “roll life in a carpet,” he’s talking about taking control over it in a destructive way, like turning pain into something lifeless or done with. He sees some people as fake or empty, calling them full of darkness even if they appear bright. He’s questioning the point of living when you already feel dead inside. The whole thing has this vibe of numbness, like violence and chaos make him feel more alive. He’s warning others not to mess with him, saying if they do, they’re gone. The line about marching with choppas like a band shows how aggressive and united his crew is when it’s time to handle things.

[Verse]
In this part, Trippie’s talking tough, almost like a movie villain walking into the scene. He says he might roll up on someone and act like a fan just to catch them off guard. He wants a huge amount of money upfront, like $30 million, showing he knows his worth and won’t settle. He throws in a dark line about someone wasting their chance at life—it’s intense and sounds like a warning. Then there’s this trippy moment where he’s dancing with the devil in the club, but still makes it clear they’re not allies. If he sees the devil slipping, he’s ready to strike, even take out his friends too. He questions what life really means if it just ends in death. There’s no time for friends or peace—he’s surrounded by betrayal and darkness. It all builds up to a brutal message: life’s rough, and he’s ready to face it violently.

[Chorus]
Trippie repeats his message again, shouting out how life feels like a never-ending fight. The anger and sadness still hit hard, and it sounds like he’s dealing with a ton of inner pain. He’s done playing nice—he sees life as something already ruined, already dead. People he talks about aren’t living with purpose or sense, almost like they’re just drifting. For him, real emotion shows up in the middle of blood and violence—it’s wild, but that’s how he says he feels something real. He’s warning again: if someone disrespects him, it’s over for them. The energy is all about staying strapped, staying ready. When he and his crew pull up, they move together strong and loud, like a marching band, but instead of music, it’s gunfire. It’s chaotic and aggressive, but that’s how he copes with his struggles.
