Dusted
ASTROID BOYS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the year of the dragon
So we back up in here
Spit fire from the back of veneers
Coming straight from the belly of the beast thats in the back of your ear
Whispering shit thats got you crapping your rear
This panic and fear is damaging
Radical stages of behaviour thats got you on a scatty ting
Looking for the big batty ting
You might find happiness HOW?
If you can make it through the same shit that a nappy does
Skitzo coz we visionary not a vegetarian but meat in me is living weary
These kids about to run a riot, flip cars, strip bars, tits ass then silence, we dont need a reason ima start this riot

Peg it and depse you wouldn't play that
Heat of the moment
Could be meeting your omens
Police are eating there donuts
I wouldn't take that
You better sit in ya seat and flipping lay back

I'm one of a kind and nobody knows that
Im living an irisponsibility philly upon the million times I let down
I don't mean to I've got a good heart
I make miss takes like pressing record at the wrong paarrrrrrrt
But now I'm older, im still never grown up
I never tell a lie, I'm always forced to tell the flipping truth
Well thats a lie cuzz, ive never thrown up, i swear that i can fly and ive never had a boner
Im sticking up for fuckers that need to be stuck up for, not stuck up fuckers that are living there life by the law OH LOORD
Bless these bumbaklart rasklart swinging
All the mans tell it how it is and never what is missing kick back

Peg it and depse you wouldn't play that
Heat of the moment
Could be meeting your omens
Police are eating there donuts
I wouldn't take that
You better sit in ya seat and flipping lay back

Now I was outside the shop
Me and Benji acting grown folks, this kid pushed his luck he's like
"ayo wasppnin your rapping is doo doo, I see kids in year nine rapping better than you do"
Benj I flipping hate this, everytime im out a kid gasses about AB, I always lose my patience, I wanna give him a facelift
Nahh jog on, its not on
You gotta use ya head instead of getting vexed
Marcus kicked a ball at his ice cream, it hit the floor SPLATT
Now this bruddah doesn't seem that feisty
Bet he's got a brother that is bigger than I am
Man he's stood behind you, arms bigger than arm bands
We're panicking, I don't know what to do in this predicament
He's looking kinda immanent
We bounced 4 hours past, hit the carpark the rest of the manden are chilling in
Something ain't right, a car pulls up, hang tight

10 MAN GET UP OUT THE CAR, KICKING OFF
The boys are pretty high, do we brawl or do we bounce
I mean i'm down, im always down, but i can see that they are holding
Car park after dark, can't see nothing BANG
Ya bullying the wrong yout, Benji bro its on you
When I say balls, dash the board and bounce to the courts
I don't wanna ramp no more
Of course with the fact that were in and out of court
So we DUSTED, laughing, shouting Tempa T lines
Hopping over walls I can see the police lights
I don't wannna get up and chin him and then explain on the riddim how I got arrested like 3 times, for petty crimes




Now its all free this free that
Not anymore one of us got caught, one of us got flipping caught

Overall Meaning

The song "Dusted" by ASTROID BOYS is a high-energy track that alludes to the unpredictability of life amid societal pressures. The opening lyrics, "It's the year of the dragon, so we back up in here," can be interpreted as a declaration of resurgence for the group as they prepare to take on whatever challenges come their way. The lyrics go on to describe the feeling of having a beast (perhaps representing societal pressure) constantly whispering in your ear and causing panic and fear. The chorus reflects the attitude of the group, encouraging listeners to sit back and let life unfold without getting caught up in every moment.


The second verse delves deeper into the struggles of the members, with one admitting to being a maker of mistakes and still not fully grown up. However, they also express a desire to fight for those who need someone to stand up for them. The latter half of the track vividly describes a confrontation the group has with a rival gang, adding to the overall theme of unpredictability and the need to navigate through life's challenges.
