T-Pain Clears Up Rumors About A Song That Came Out 10 Years Ago
Music is so beautiful and complex, sometimes we can listen to a song for years and not know the meaning of it until one day….something clicks. Speaking of beautiful and complex music, Flo Rida and T-Pain’s banger “Low” has been out in the world for a decade now, and people are still playing that isht like the day it came out.
If you’re familiar with the song, you know that the lyrics feature T-Pain on the hook, and he describes a girl in the club saying, “Shawty had them Apple Bottom jeans, Boots with the fur, The whole club was lookin’ at her….Them baggy sweat pants, And the Reeboks with the straps.” Most of us have thought nothing of the line for the past decade, but a couple people on Twitter have publicized their theories on how the “Shawty” T-Pain is referring to can be sporting jeans and sweatpants at the same time.
if shawty had both them apple bottom jeans AND the baggy sweatpants, and she had the boots with the fur AND the reeboks with the straps
no wonder the whole club was looking at her. she (at least) was wearing two pairs of pants and two different shoes, or (at most) had FOUR LEGS

The girl Flo Rida sings about in Low was wearing apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, baggy sweatpants, AND reeboks with the straps all at the same time so we must conclude that she was, in fact, a centaur. In this essay I will

I mean, for a girl wearing two different sets of shoes AND pants at the same time, her being a centaur isn’t exactly that far of a stretch. The people of Twitter spread these theories like wild fire, and luckily for everyone involved, Mr. Tallahassee Pain caught wind of the rumors, as he always does. Just like that time he ruined our sing-alongs to “Buy U A Drank” by revealing the lyrics are different than literally everyone thought, the music legend weighed in on what’s going on with the aforementioned girl from “Low.”
The first girl is dressed how Flo Rida likes. Second girls is dressed how I like. Flo likes a classy lady. I like a lazy bitch.

So there you have it….”Shawty” is actually 2 different shawtys, and T-Pain continues to both ruin and clarify the songs of our generation.
Check out the reactions of the internet’s music fans after finding out everyone in the club on “Low” weren’t actually staring at a centaur.
Why does TPain hate Centaurs.

Guess everyone just forgets about conjoined twins.. a pair on each of em, 2 different pants, it makes more logical sense

T-PAIN WEIGHED IN ON THE APPLE BOTTOM JEANS/BAGGY SWEATPANTS QUESTION, THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE INTERNET, THIS IS WHY I CAN NEVER QUIT TWITTER. https://t.co/J6DGv3gLrl

I think that distinction is unclear in the song. Maybe you should have said, “a second shawty had baggy sweatpants…” otherwise, it’s a kerfuffle. The third one in a row concerning your lyrics. Tighten up sir!

I am a 45 yo boring ol' mom who is freaking out here because T-Pain responded! For years I'd always assumed it was 2 separate girls, but now I'll never hear it the same. I was always jealous of Shawty cause I could never go low. pic.twitter.com/zle36C63mn

WE ALL KNOW THE SONG IS ABOUT A CENTAUR AND WE WON’T BE SILENCED.— Garrett Russell (@SilentGarrett) March 30, 2018

Mind blown. I thought the baggy sweatpants line was about what the guy was wearing in the club.

@alebart28 @PuckerT @CaseyDHennessy I feel like we can more accurately portray “Low” at karaoke now with this new information.
— Case (@CaseyKKing) March 30, 2018
why can't it be both? conjoined centaur twins. eight legs
— snorb (@snoerb) March 28, 2018
Not to mention the fact that hit hit the floor, THEN got low. I didn't think it was possible to get any lower than low.

Is it possible that Mr Rida simply referred to her footwear in general terms initially as the 'boots with the fur' then again specifically by brand and styling? Not sure a Centaur has the opposable grip to 'work that pole'
— Paul Senter (@PADSenter) March 26, 2018
or homeless and wearing everything she owned
— T O W E R (@babbleoftower) March 27, 2018
And so we’re supposed to believe that her person arms could reach to give “that big [horse] booty a smack”? I just don’t think that’s realistic tbh
