Lucky Man
.Hoodie Allen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a sip of my drink fuck it take the bottle
Dated grad school chicks and I've dated models
I'm a lucky man maybe I should play the lotto
But they don't, they don't, they don't wanna swallow their pride
I ain't tryin' to go home thats the fuckin' motto
And I don't wanna fall in love with another model
So baby what you got inside yo water bottle
But they don't, they don't, they don't wanna ruin the surprise

Yeah, so now she wanna hear my new song
I give it to her before right before I put my moves on
I'm in that two door coop me and Sufjan
Tell 'em I don't even need a deal like group on
Cause all she ever wanted was that real shit
I'm 5'9 but I'm feeling like I'm real big
On top of the clouds on the buildings
Cut a little class cause my life is like a field trip
Where we stayin' tonight? Am I playing it right?
And can I knock it out of the park like late in the 9th
Cause everyone in the crowd loves a comeback
So name a city that I'm in and I run that
It's all trickery play the hickory dickery
Every chick that be into me try to Jeremy Lin with me
I pull him off the bench, I give them all a shot
One minute they on a roll, the next minute they not

Take a sip of my drink fuck it take the bottle
Dated grad school chicks and I've dated models
I'm a lucky man maybe I should play the lotto
But they don't, they don't, they don't wanna swallow their pride
I ain't tryin' to go home thats the fuckin' motto
And I don't wanna fall in love with another model
So baby what you got inside yo water bottle
But they don't, they don't, they don't wanna ruin the surprise

I been up, like two and a half days
Homie we All American U to the SA
My family call me Hoodie we cool with the last name
I be takin' down my enemy, shoot 'em like Max Payne
Playin' video games, no lana del rey
I met a chick with big lips and I wanted to stay
But most of the pretty women in here are missing their hearts
They be lookin' for world peace by they end up with Art
Testing, testing, one, two, three heres the microphone
I kick it with the Hoodie Mob, and now I feel like Al Capone
But you the biggest drama queen, fine you won the trophy
Cause the only time you like genuine is on the pony
I hit the gold mine, I'm trying to whore this
If she looks like Haley Barry I'll give her that swordfish




And we drinkin' till these women be hittin' the floor bitch
But I'm nicer in the morning I hit the florist

Overall Meaning

In Hoodie Allen's song "Lucky Man," the lyrics reflect on the fortunate experiences that the rapper has had with women. The chorus repeats the idea that Hoodie is lucky to have been with both graduate school women and models, but acknowledges that these women may not want to "swallow their pride" or ruin the surprise with what they have in their water bottles. Hoodie also expresses that he is not interested in falling in love with another model because it is not his intention to go home with anyone that night.


In the verses, Hoodie discusses his success as a rapper, with someone asking to hear his new song before he puts his moves on them. He boasts about his height and his ability to succeed without needing a deal "like Groupon." He also mentions his love for video games and his affinity for women with big lips. The second verse ends with Hoodie acknowledging that many women in the environment he is in are searching for something deeper than a one-night stand, but ultimately end up with something far less meaningful.


The song overall explores the themes of physical attraction, one-night stands, and the potential limitations of these kinds of relationships. While acknowledging his own fortunes, Hoodie is also aware of the superficiality present in these situations, leading him to seek something more meaningful.

i've been listening to this guy for a while now and this song really seems underrated. For me this is easily his best song and I don't really get why it doesn't even became a single off of the album.. Great stuff

Josh C

For regular artists, they probably have one decent song out of every 10 they make, and one great one out of every 100. It seems all of Hoodie's songs are freakin' awesome.
