Dubai
Blaklez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, use my charm to conquer the universe
She say before my heart
Look at my beauty first
Money first, I give you what you deserve
Gte the bag, get the money
After the booty's served
Yeah she using her figure
She make a lot of figures
Never met her father
So she sleeping with father figures
She wanna hide her true self
So she post a lot of pictures
Yeah she nobody's wifey
But she's somebody's mistress
Lifestyles good but she desires emancipation
Another black girl lost, looking for navigation
The money coming and going is getting aggrevating
She playin' a dangerous game
I call her iron maiden
What's a sister to do
When life's turning to screw
Love of the loot
Got her trading her soul for some shoes
She wanna be cool so she live by ridiculous rules
The story is ruthless, she losing herself fin confusion

Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the sex or love of the cheques
Ey tell me this, what's bigger than that
Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the sex or love of the cheques
Ey tell me this, what's bigger than that
Love of the money or love of the self

I got swagger for days
Check out my fresh dog
Beat my chest like a gorilla
Ain't got no stress dog
I got game, I'm a player
Haters try to press pause
I'm using these women for sex
They use me for cheques bruh
I never fall for these women bruh
My wife at home
It's not a love thing sweety
I just like to bone
Got people judging me
Telling me that this life is wrong
Well you broke, I got money
So leave my life alone
It's a dog eat dog world
Let the strong survive
I'm paying her rent
Because her boyfriend work a nine to five
She has a hell of a time
When she around the guy
We getting drunk from the bottles that we're surrounded by
Ooh, get inside the mind of a jerk
That's like traveling a distance inside of a hearse
Ain't no turning back and retracing the steps to your birth
Don't get killed by the same ego you're trying to nurse

Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the sex or love of the cheques
Ey tell me this, what's bigger than that
Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the money or love of the self
Love of the sex or love of the cheques




Ey tell me this, what's bigger than that
Love of the money or love of the self

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blaklez's song "Dubai" explore the themes of materialism, lust, and self-identity through the eyes of a woman in pursuit of a luxurious lifestyle. The perspective shifts between the woman and the singer, who seems to be someone that she may have had a relationship with. The woman uses her physical appearance and sex appeal to obtain money, but at the cost of compromising her true identity. She desires to be seen as desirable but not as someone's wife. Despite living a lavish life, she still feels trapped and longs for freedom.


The singer, on the other hand, boasts about his wealth and promiscuity but distances himself emotionally from the women he uses. He sees himself as a player and mocks those who criticize his lifestyle. Both the woman and the singer are consumed by their desires for money, sex, and status, unaware of the illusion they have created for themselves.


Through these lyrics, Blaklez highlights the destructive aspects of a culture that values material possessions and superficial connections over genuine human relationships and self-expression.
