The lyrics for “Loitering,” performed by Kodak Black, present a concentrated dose of the rapper’s signature themes. The words provide a stark narrative of street life, paranoia, and materialism, offering a specific point of view for listeners. The chorus establishes key motifs: allegiance with his “niggas throwin’ Z’s up,” a state of being armed and “geeked up,” and a dismissal of perceived weakness in others. The line “Feel like Langston Hughes, I hit the booth and spit that poetry” is a striking literary reference, drawing a parallel between his raw street narratives and the work of the Harlem Renaissance poet. This is immediately contrasted with the threatening image of “loiterin’, prowlin’ on your home and shit.” The chorus concludes with a poignant admission of a one-sided relationship: “The streets don’t love me back, but I’m still in love with the streets.”

The verses deepen this portrait. Kodak Black describes a “military-minded” heart rooted in the projects, references violent retaliation against perceived disrespect, and boasts of wealth with basketball and rocket analogies. He mixes crude sexual boasts with direct threats, warning others not to “bring the beef.” The second verse continues with violent imagery, mentioning a “broomstick” to sweep someone off their feet, before ending on a note of emotional destructiveness with “I’ma break your heart, lil’ baby… don’t listen to Cupid.”
For fans seeking the lyrics for knowledge or engagement, the song delivers Kodak Black’s unfiltered perspective. The lyrics are not designed for universal karaoke but for listeners who connect with his specific reality. The repetitive, hook-driven chorus makes the main themes memorable. The contrast between the poetic Langston Hughes line and the surrounding violence and vulgarity is the lyrical centerpiece, highlighting the complexity within his artistry. Understanding these words is essential to grasping the tone he brings to the electronic production of Diplo and d00mscrvll, creating a deliberate tension between sound and subject.

Lyrics
[Intro: Kodak Black]
Glee
[Chorus: Kodak Black]
Ayy, my niggas throwin’ Z’s up, if he ’round me, then he Zoe, yeah
Every day, I’m geeked up, I be ridin’ with that pole, nah
I don’t be on that weak stuff, man, you niggas be actin’ like hoes and shit
Feel like Langston Hughes, I hit the booth and spit that poetry
I be loiterin’, prowlin’ on your home and shit
Then I’m rollin’ in, crawlin’ with some goons and shit
I been up all week, tryna get me a Patek Philippe
The streets don’t love me back, but I’m still in love with the streets
[Verse 1: Kodak Black]
Military-minded, my heart is in the projects
They tried to put me in a dress, I almost killed the stylist
They tried to put me to the test, but me, I keep it solid
I’m ballin’ like I’m James Harden, I bought a brand-new rocket
I don’t wanna be bothered, when you see me, don’t even holler
My nigga, don’t even much bother, when you see me, please don’t holler
That girl got a skeetin’ problem, that pussy like piña colada
Don’t bring the beef up out you, nigga, they tryna knock you off your feet
[Chorus: Kodak Black]
Ayy, my niggas throwin’ Z’s up, if he ’round me, then he Zoe, yeah
Every day, I’m geeked up, I be ridin’ with that pole, nah
I don’t be on that weak stuff, man, you niggas be actin’ like hoes and shit
Feel like Langston Hughes, I hit the booth and spit that poetry
I be loiterin’, prowlin’ on your home and shit
Then I’m rollin’ in, crawlin’ with some goons and shit
I been up all week, tryna get me a Patek Philippe
The streets don’t love me back, but I’m still in love with the streets
[Verse 2: Kodak Black]
She look like she wanna freak, ain’t no more meet and greet
Fully, keep a broomstick, sweep a nigga up off his feet
Rocks all in my glue stick, rock a nigga like acoustic
I’ma break your heart, lil’ baby, don’t come this way, don’t listen to Cupid
