Harlem emcee Joe West raps with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie on how he’s worried about who will “Switch” upon him in their newest single via Uptown Records. Joe West clarifies his concerns by singing in the hook, “Coming from where I’m from, gotta talk like this. Watch both ways; I’m worried about who’s gonna switch. They come from this way, that way, this way, that way.”
Throughout Joe’s verse, he raps about taking everything in at the moment from the money to the fame to the women around him. However, he realizes that the higher he goes in the rap game, the more that people will try to bring him down because of hatred. He explains it by rapping, “N****s know what happens every time that I drop… everybody want to know what I got, n****s still coming for my spot… I’m not keeping it quiet, hate on me out loud but they thank me in silence…”
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie uses his verse to rap about his luxurious life and how he worries about who’s real around him. At the end of the verse, he says “It gets scary though, running shit up like a marathon… but what if I’m the only one to call? But what if I’m the only one that picks up every day you call when you got nowhere to call and end up telling everyone he knows?”
