Desiigner’s “Panda” Translated Into English

In case you have no idea who Desiigner is, let’s just say this is a guy who appears to idolize rapper Future so much that he has literally crafted his whole sound to mimic Future to the point where it can be quite hard to tell who’s who.  Also, he’s a Kanye West creation.

Anyways, let’s get to the translation of his hit song Panda.

[Intro]

This is what they all been waiting for
I guess so
They been waiting for this shit for a long time didn’t they
I’ma give it everything I got
Ayo Dougie park that X6 around the corner
Aye I’m just feeling my vibe right now
I’m feeling myself

Translation:

I’m fairly new to the hip hop scene guys, but Kanye West told me this is what all of the hip hop fans have been waiting for (even tho Future has already been doing this for a few years now)…I guess so.
Hip hop fans have been waiting a very long time for somebody who sounds exactly like Future to come out.
So I’m going to give you all my very best Future impersonation.
My good friend Doug, could you please park BMW X6 around the corner pretty please?  Thank you.
I sound so much like Future on this song, I’ve impressed myself.
I really have impressed myself.

[Bridge]

Panda, Panda
Panda, Panda, Panda, Panda, Panda

Translation:

I like cute cuddly panda bears so much I’m just going to repeat the word panda 7 times.

[Hook]

I got broads in Atlanta
Twisting dope, lean, and the Fanta
Credit cards and the scammers
Hitting off licks in the bando
Black X6, Phantom
White X6 looks like a panda
Going out like I’m Montana
Hundred killers, hundred hammers
Black X6, Phantom
White X6, panda
Pockets swole, Danny
Selling bar, candy
Man I’m the macho like Randy
The choppa go Oscar for Grammy
Bitch nigga pull up ya panty
Hope you killas understand me

Translation:

Even though I’m from Brooklyn, NYC I have a lot of women in the city of Atlanta, GA.
I like to smoke marijuana & pour cough syrup into Fanta sodas to get high.
I’m also a thief who likes to skim credit cards & run scams on people.
I also like to hang out in abandoned houses & participate in other questionable activities the law might not take to kind towards.
I own a black BMW X6 that I like to call by the name of Phantom.
I also own a white BMW X6 that I like to call Panda (because I love cute cuddly pandas) and the white BMW X6 resembles a panda bear when you look at it from the front.
I have dreams of being killed like Tony Montana from the movie Scarface.
Hundreds of killers carrying around hundreds of guns.
Once again, I like to call my black BMW X6 the name Phantom.
Also again, I like to call my white BMW X6 the name panda.
I have so much money in my pockets, to complete this line in the rap, I just said a random name like Danny.
I also like to sell candy bars.
I like to think I’m a macho man like deceased wrestler Randy Savage.
I have an AK-47 that I carry with me when I go to the Oscars & Grammy’s.
You guys who do not like me, stop sagging and pull your pants up.
If you live a life similar to mines, then you all probably understand exactly where I’m coming from.

[Hook] repeated

Translation:

I’m just going to repeat everything I just told you in case you missed something.

[Bridge] repeated

Translation:

In case you forgot, I really really REALLY love panda bears.

[Verse]
