In the 68th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “lick” performed by Lil Peep and Yunggoth.

“You’s a lick, you’s a lick.” Word, Lil Peep (RIP) and Yunggoth. “Lick” is the third track from their collaborative single, Friends, released in 2021. The song was produced by Frdm.  The backdrop is dark, druggy, and enigmatic, anchored by a mean-sounding beat.  The flow sounds faded and at times, a bit unorthodox. Depth is not the modus operandi for either rapper but the vibe is electric.  Notably, “Lick” is just a two-and-a-quarter-minute-long song. “Passed out with my bitch in the whip / Catch up lil’ bitch, you ain’t it,” Yunggoth asserts in the first verse, continuing, “You ain’t nothing but a bitch, and you know it.” He adds in the second verse, with Lil Peep ad-libs, “Fuck around and I’ll let you jaw split (Woo) / I don’t give a fuck about that other shit (Fuck it).” If you hadn’t noticed, the use of the word bitch, as well as other profanity, is pronounced. Protect your virgin ears!

A bridge follows the second verse, led by Lil Peep where the late rapper informs us, “I don’t give a fuck about that other shit / I don’t give a fuck about my other bitch…” In the following refrain, Peep spits, “You’s a lick, you’s a bitch (Who?) / Who’s a bitch? You’s a bitch / You a snitch (Woo), I’m a prick / Twenty racks on my wrist.” Noted.  In the third and final verse, Peep has “Six Xans in my hand then I put ‘em in my mouth,” disturbing given his death from an overdose. Also, he informs, “And I’m gon’ marry that bitch, and then we get divorced.”  Hmm, why marry her in the first place then?  Make it make sense… or don’t. Regardless, “Lick” is a banger from Lil Peep and Yunggoth.
