Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Check it
Look at me I'm all the way turnt up
I ain't smoking but my homie in here burnt up
Yeah, I'm working on him, but he straight though
Couple girls trying to twerk it on me, wait- no
No, hold up
Before you even roll up I'm in here with my lady
Can't you see me man? I'm sewed up Man I'm in here trying to celebrate a birthday
And you know I'm well aware it's a work day
No matter, we still gon' kick it
And we ain't getting trippy, no molly in my sippy
Ain't fighting nobody, ain't nobody set tripping
It's southeast diego in the building
Shout-out to peter pan, skyline imperial
We out here trying to function, holler if you with it though
Prolly think I'm rolling, I'm just high on the spirit bro
The only thing we popping is the truth, you don't hear me though

They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
But what I got you need to know about 'cause homie

I'm turnt (I'm turnt)

Everybody slow-motion leaning off the potion
I tell em I'm straight trying to keep my mind focused
Came 40 deep cliqued up, crew love
Got em' looking at us crazy cause we so turnt up
Yeah homie I'm turnt, I'm turnt, I'm turnt, I'm turnt
I ain't popping, rolling and I ain't burnt
So tell mary and molly I don't need em' to party
Someone woke up in the lobby trying to locate they wallet
While I'm nine holes in trying to work on my hobby
And I wish somebody would get me started
Aye deuces up to nipsey, k-dot and game
I'm out here in the west gone and holler at me man
My blood stream clean, nothing running through my veins
It's 116, yeah I'm still unashamed
I call it network if I'm out here fishing
You know I'm with clique and man we out here tryna kick it

You know that we're turnt
They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing
But what I got you need to know about 'cause homie

I'm turnt (I'm turnt)

Overall Meaning

The main message of Lecrae's "I'm Turnt" is that he's having a good time without the need for drugs or alcohol. He talks about being at a party and being approached by girls who want to dance with him, but he's already with his lady. He also mentions that his friend is "burnt up," possibly from smoking, but Lecrae is trying to keep him on track. The song has a positive message that you can have fun without the need for drugs or alcohol.

The chorus is simple but catchy, repeating the lines "They prolly think I'm rolling, I ain't on nothing / But what I got you need to know about 'cause homie / I'm turnt." He's using the slang word "turnt" to mean that he's excited and having fun, without the need for any substances.

The second verse mentions that the people around him are "leaning off the potion" (likely referring to lean, a mixture of cough syrup and soda), but Lecrae is trying to stay focused and sober. He also shouts out fellow rappers Nipsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, and The Game, and mentions his affiliation with the Christian hip-hop label 116.

One interesting fact about the song is that it samples the beat from "Don't Call It a Comeback" by Christian rapper Lightheaded. Another fact is that Lecrae originally released a version of the song called "Turnt Up" on his mixtape "Church Clothes 2," but later re-recorded and released it as "I'm Turnt" on his album "Anomaly." The music video for the song features Lecrae and his friends dancing and having fun at a party without the use of drugs or alcohol.

Chords: Unfortunately, the chords for this song are not available as it is an electronic beat-based track.
