**21** is a song by Polo G that was released on May 15, 2020 as an audio and June 15, 2020 as a music video. The song appeared to be the sixth track to Polo's second studio album, The Goat, in between the two tracks, Go Stupid and 33.

## Description

On “21,“ Polo G raps a quick-moving track about his fame-based lifestyle on his 21st birthday. Polo drops references to weaponry and expensive items to boast about his status in life. Additionally, he pays homage to late rapper and friend Juice WRLD—who also appears on “Flex” from THE GOAT—within the track, expressing his dislike for drugs and addiction.

On January 12, 2020, six days after Polo’s 21st birthday, an extended snippet leaked on YouTube and Soundcloud.

On May 15, 2020, founder of Lyrical Lemonade and one of the most famous video producers in the music industry, Cole Bennett, teased that he was working on a project with Polo G. This would be their first collaboration together.

On June 13, 2020, Cole Bennett further teased the project by posting “21 video?” captioned on a picture of him and Polo G.

Two days later, on June 15, 2020, the official Lyrical Lemonade music video was released. Directed by Cole Bennett, the video, which is a true one-shot film with no cuts, finds Polo G dodging bullets and being chased down by a masked intruder. It also features multiple Juice WRLD references as a tribute to the late rapper.

## Awards and Nominations

**21** ended up getting certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA on July 8, 2021.

## Lyrics

Decorate your block with red tape, foenem slidin' every day

Bunch of hollows spittin' out the Glock

I been servin' fiends all day, out there posted with the gang

n\*gga, we was taught to get it off the block

It's a hundred bands in the safe, now I got expensive taste

Mike Amiri jeans, fill 'em up with knots

I been on my grind every day, don't believe in takin' breaks

I ain't stoppin' 'til we chillin' at the top

Swervin' on the E-way, don't care if I crash in this coupe

Shit I'm thinkin' 'bout too real, might lose my mind in this coupe

Can't relapse off these drugs, man, R.I.P. to Juice

We was tweakin' off them Percs, I popped my last one with you

Bond tight with my day ones, ain't tryna find no recruits

We was playin' give and take on that front line with my troops

Ayy, like who want smoke? We got plenty guns

Keep two lil' savages on X and they gon' get it done

And them hollow tips do surgery, they gon' clip his lungs

It was goin' down on the set, that's when this shit was fun

I just been ballin' on these n\*ggas like I'm Kendrick Nunn

Every day my birthday, bitch, it's lit, I just turned twenty-one

Decorate your block with red tape, foenem slidin' every day

Bunch of hollows spittin' out the Glock

I been servin' fiends all day, out there posted with the gang

n\*gga, we was taught to get it off the block

It's a hundred bands in the safe, now I got expensive taste

Mike Amiri jeans, fill 'em up with knots

I been on my grind every day, don't believe in takin' breaks

I ain't stoppin' 'til we chillin' at the top

Ever since I stepped up in this game, I've been a bomb threat

I was in the trenches, tryna see a life beyond that

'Cause complacent n\*ggas usually die up in they complex

n\*gga, where I'm from, they turn death into a contest

Livin' by the gun, put all my trust into this compact

My n\*ggas went to war, but they ain't get no Vietnam check

Lil' bro want his head, he tryna make his brains ooze

Lil' bitch, I'm from the Northside where they raise goons

Took losses in these streets, shit got me singin' gang blues

I been a real n\*gga 'fore this shit became cool

I'm the type to switch my watch up every time I change moods

He the type to get excited 'cause he made The Shade Room

Decorate your block with red tape, foenem slidin' every day

Bunch of hollows spittin' out the Glock

I been servin' fiends all day, out there posted with the gang

n\*gga, we was taught to get it off the block

It's a hundred bands in the safe, now I got expensive taste

Mike Amiri jeans, fill 'em up with knots

I been on my grind every day, don't believe in takin' breaks

I ain't stoppin' 'til we chillin' at the top
