[Chorus]
I'm the type to go and bring her home to take her on vacation (Hoo)
I been certified my whole life, come check my registration (Certified)
Yeah, I'm drunk, but I ain't drivin', yes, and I know my destination
I got a stick in here and the drum in the background, please don't estimate 'em
Man, this shit gettin' so damn heavy in the back, gotta pick it with an excavator (Woo)
Got that money goin' way to the top floor, goin' up on an escalator (Woo)
Shawty poppin' shrooms in the back room, she gon' need her a respirator
I will kick you out my house right now, I call her to detonate

[Pre-Chorus]
I been smashed and crashin' up shows (Crashin' up shows)
If you ain't got a dollar amount, then you know I gotta go (I)
My tolerance kinda runnin' high, but I'll pop me some more (Pop me some more)
You can call my phone, lil' lady, or you can meet me at the show (Ah, ah)

[Chorus]
I'm the type to go and bring her home to take her on vacation (Type to go and—)
I been certified my whole life, come check my registration (Certified)
Yeah, I'm drunk, but I ain't drivin', yes, and I know my destination (Straight up)
I got a stick in here and the drum in the background, please don't estimate 'em (Ah, ah)
Man, this shit gettin' so damn heavy in the back, gotta pick it with an excavator (Woo)
Got that money goin' way to the top floor, goin' up on an escalator
Shawty poppin' shrooms in the back room, she gon' need her a respirator
I will kick you out my house right now, I call her to detonate (Ah, ah)


[Verse 1]
Dirty lemonade, you are in the way
Hundred million plain, throw that in the grave
They want me in the cage (Yeah), fill that bitch with haze (Yeah)
Y'all was waitin' on him (Yeah), yeah, I got the rage

[Pre-Chorus]
I been smashed and crashin' up shows (Crashin' up shows)
If you ain't got a dollar amount, then you know I gotta go (I)
My tolerance kinda runnin' high, but I'll pop me some more (Pop me some more)
You can call my phone, lil' lady, or you can meet me at the show (Ah, ah)

[Chorus]
I'm the type to go and bring her home to take her on vacation (Hoo)
I been certified my whole life, come check my registration (Certified)
Yeah, I'm drunk, but I ain't drivin', yes, and I know my destination
I got a stick in here and the drum in the background, please don't estimate 'em (Woo)
Man, this shit gettin' so damn heavy in the back, gotta pick it with an excavator (Woo)
Got that money goin' way to the top floor, goin' up on an escalator (Woo)
Shawty poppin' shrooms in the back room, she gon' need her a respirator
I will kick her out my house right now, I call her to detonate (Detonate, detonate, detonate, detonate, detonate—)

[Bridge]
Man, this shit gettin' so damn heavy in the back, gotta pick it with an excavator

Shawty-shawty poppin' shrooms in the back room, she gon' need her a respirator (Need her a—)
I will kick you out my house right now, I call her to detonate, call her to detonate

[Verse 2]

Shawty goin' up at the belvedere
Oh my God, I can't see it clear (Oh my)
Oh, my God, it's a jet lear (It's a jet lear)
Oh my, what you did last year? (Last year)

I seen it in the back of the rear mirror
My diamonds here spinnin' like a windmill
Ridin' down my block and I'm watchin' for the lil' deers

[Outro]
(Yeah)

Translation

English
[Estribillo]
Soy del tipo que la lleva a casa para luego irnos de vacaciones (Hoo)
He sido auténtico toda la vida, ven a comprobar mis papeles (Auténtico)
Sí, estoy borracho, pero no conduzco; sí, y sé a dónde voy
Tengo un arma larga aquí y el cargador de tambor detrás, mejor no los subestimes
Tío, esta mierda pesa tanto atrás que hay que levantarla con una excavadora (Woo)
El dinero va directo al último piso, subiendo por la escalera mecánica (Woo)
Ella está tomando hongos en la habitación de atrás, va a necesitar un respirador
Te echo de mi casa ahora mismo, la llamo para que detone

[Pre-estribillo]
He estado arrasando en los conciertos (Arrasando en los conciertos)
Si no tienes una cifra de dinero, ya sabes que me tengo que ir (Yo)
Mi tolerancia está algo alta, pero me tomaré un poco más (Me tomaré un poco más)
Puedes llamarme al móvil, chica, o vernos en el concierto (Ah, ah)

Limonada sucia, estás estorbando
Cien millones sin adornos, tíralo a la tumba
Me quieren enjaulado (Sí), Llena a esa perra de humo (Sí)
Todos lo estaban esperando (Sí), sí, llevo la furia dentro

[Pre-estribillo]
He estado arrasando y destrozando los conciertos (Destrozando los conciertos)
Si no tienes una cifra en mente, sabes que tengo que irme (Yo)

Quiero gastar toda la pasta en el centro comercial, te dije: "Cariño, ven a despertarme" (Despiértame)
Antes siquiera de saltar de la cama, me hizo una mamada, me comió entero (La chica)
Sí (Sí), mi hermano tiene el fuego, En el juego de dados, háblame bonito o lo rompo todo (lo rompo todo)
Sí, lanza todos los billetes de uno al aire; le dije a la chica: "Ven aquí, recógelos" (chica, chica)
Sí, soy el tipo de cabrón que te lo restriega en la cara; niñato, te rocío con gas pimienta (sí)
Sí, estoy a tope ahora mismo, tengo el club encendido ahora mismo
Me compré una camioneta Rolls nueva y la traje aquí
Conduzco esa bestia como un bucanero
La chica se vuelve loca en el Belvedere
Dios mío, no veo nada claro (Dios mío)
Dios mío, es un jet Lear (es un jet Lear)
Madre mía, ¿qué hiciste el año pasado? (el año pasado)
¿Te hiciste una limpieza? Como una prueba de Papanicolaou
Lo vi por el espejo retrovisor
Mis diamantes giran como un molino de viento
Conduzco por mi barrio y vigilo si hay ciervos

[Outro]
(Sí)

Meaning & Explanation

Don Toliver's "Excavator" is a high-energy trap anthem that showcases the rapper's signature blend of luxury-driven storytelling, confidence, and larger-than-life imagery. Throughout the song, Don Toliver uses vivid metaphors and extravagant references to describe his rise to success, the lifestyle that comes with fame, and the fast-paced environment surrounding him.

The chorus centers around the idea of living without limits. When he says he's the type to take someone on vacation, he is presenting himself as a provider who can offer experiences and luxury. The line about being "certified" and asking listeners to check his registration symbolizes authenticity and credibility. He is emphasizing that his success is legitimate and earned through years of hard work.

One of the song's most memorable images is the title reference, "gotta pick it with an excavator." Here, the excavator serves as a metaphor for the enormous amount of wealth, possessions, and success he has accumulated. The idea is that his achievements have become so massive that ordinary methods are no longer enough to handle them. Similarly, comparing money to something rising on an escalator reinforces the theme of constant upward growth and financial success.

The track also explores the wild nightlife often associated with celebrity culture. References to parties, concerts, and altered states of mind create an atmosphere of excess and excitement. These lyrics are less about literal events and more about portraying a lifestyle where celebrations, luxury, and entertainment are always present. The mention of crashing shows highlights his popularity and the energy he brings to live performances.

In the first verse, Don Toliver touches on overcoming obstacles and dealing with criticism. The imagery of being placed in a cage reflects outside pressures, expectations, and attempts to limit him. However, his response is one of determination and intensity, symbolized by his statement that he has "the rage." Rather than being controlled by others, he channels that energy into his music and career.

The second verse expands on themes of spending, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and social status. References to expensive shopping, luxury cars, and diamonds reinforce the image of someone enjoying the rewards of success. At the same time, these details help paint a picture of the glamorous world he inhabits.

Overall, "Excavator" is a celebration of achievement, ambition, and confidence. Through creative metaphors and energetic delivery, Don Toliver presents himself as an artist who has reached new heights and continues to elevate his lifestyle, career, and influence. The song captures the excitement of success while embracing the larger-than-life persona that has become a hallmark of his music.
