Don Julio 70 Lyrics Meaning

[Verse]
In this verse, Ab-Soul reflects on his lifestyle, mixing his luxurious persona with gritty street life. The repeated mention of “Don Julio 70” sets the tone, signaling indulgence and confidence, with the rapper pouring shots without measuring—showing his carefree and abundant mindset. The reference to “Soul Fre$H” conveys that he feels untouchable, almost heavenly, as if his vibe is on another level.

Ab-Soul acknowledges the constant scrutiny of the streets (“Streets watching in 7D”)—he’s aware that eyes are always on him. He mentions the dangerous reality of his environment, where “each Glock come with 17,” referencing the 17-round magazines of firearms and the violent nature of street life. The “bang bang” repetitions symbolize gunshots, reinforcing the threat and tension around him.

He continues to highlight his power and status, comparing himself to “three Chief Keef’s”—a nod to the drill rapper known for his aggressive energy. He’s telling others to back off, as they don’t belong in his circle. Ab-Soul then brings up “Emancipation Proclamation,” which historically freed slaves, but here he uses it to reflect on how people are “slaves to the paper”—money is the driving force of modern life, a theme in his world.

The mention of his “chain hang” and “big rocks” (diamonds) clashing like Jay-Z and Dame Dash references the high-profile conflict between the two moguls, suggesting tension and power struggles. “Re’ on the yay” is a reference to his drug-dealing past (coc*ine), and “R.I.P. Act” could be a nod to a fallen friend or an old chapter in his life. The phrase “it’s tequila today” connects back to Don Julio 70, symbolizing his choice of indulgence at this moment.

Ab-Soul claims to be a “scientist” of sorts, equating his mastery of his lifestyle to a “Drankenstein”—a play on Frankenstein, implying his ability to create something alive from his experiences. He’s unapologetic, confident, and unbothered by what others think, highlighting his past struggle, resilience, and current success.

[Outro]
In the outro, Ab-Soul reflects the influence of alcohol on his mindset, feeling so confident that he’s ready to text his ex something impulsive and possibly regrettable. The moment signals a shift in his emotional state, where he’s both brash and carefree, contemplating an exit from the situation.
