German Whip Lyrics

Driving a German Whip
Driving a German whip
Yo! (Driving a German whip)
Driving a German whip

If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a german whip

If you see man driving a german whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a german whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a german whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a german whip

Who told you I serve and flip?
Ride my bike on a burnham dip
Man talk but I'm gonna burn 'em quick
Mad man nutty on a sherman tip
Dem man wanna mess with my aura
Someone said that's bang out of order
Can't make 6 foot man feel smaller
Treat dem man like private caller

And I don't wanna box man trust me
Who told you that I got rusty?
Trawl for the WD40
Punch up big man, I'll like 40
Big boy buy big ting 650
Moving along on the road too quickly
Though big dogs in this biz
I never see no man chasing frisbees

If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a german whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip

When I big over there
Dem man don't live over there
Man will take off ya wig over there
Don't care who you're with over there
When mana-mans hungry, mana-man eat
Mana-mans tired, mana-man sleep
Mana-man talking, mana-man speak
They link girls that mana-man beat
Don't be on a hero ting
Keep it moving earphones in
Lickle man, man had to chief up him
Punch up scratchy, cheif up trim
When mana-mans driving, mana-man speed
Mana-mans smoking mana-mans weed
Give mana-man space, let mana-man breathe
When I arrive, mana-man leave

If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip

Bad boy krep, German whip
Not white Vans, or white vans
When boy dem try ask for my name
I say oldskool Meridian man
Guys better show respect
If they see man pullin up in a TT (trust!)
Guys better show respect
If they see man fillin up in BP (trust!)
20 Pound of Diesel mate
If I fill up my tank it'll make me late
I ain't gonna lie
I see you man on foot on the high road moving bait
Man's just try'na stack paper
Don't watch what man's earning
Man paid over 30 bags sterling
German whip but I ain't in Berlin

If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip

If you see man driving a German whip
Blacked out window, leaning back
See man driving a German whip
Look like a balla, P's and dat
I don't kick ball, do I look like a balla?
See man driving a German whip
Who told you I move like pauper?
See man driving a German whip

German Whip

In the early 2000's Meridian Dan and some of his Grime colleagues decided to get together to form a rap group called Meridian Crew, which consisted of other UK artists including JME, his brother Skepta and Big H. They started performing regularly on Heat FM and DéjÁ  Vu FM.

When Skepta and JME created the Boy Better Know label and left the Meridian Crew in late 2005, Meridan Dan and the other members of The Meridian Crew created their own crew and label called the Bloodline Family Collective, referring to the family ties within the group. This enabled Meridian Dan to emerge further in the underground rap scene and in 2014 he released his breakthrough single "German Whip."

The song also features Meridian Dan's grime colleagues JME and Big H.

Lyrically, the song is celebrating German-made cars (or whips). Wonder why automobiles are called whips? The reason dates back to the days of horse-driven carriages when whips were used to control the direction and speed of the horses. Then when the steering wheel was first used in a car, it was called the "whip", because the steering wheel controls the vehicle. Many years later, various rappers noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel, so they proceeded to use the old term "whip" to describe any Mercedes-Benz automobile. The term has since been generalized to classify any car.
