Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me who gon' wanna spell at ya
Tell me who gon' call you beautiful
If it isn't you yourself, I know
Young and colored in America
Got a couple things I need to say
No, you'd never love me as I am
America, I wanna bury ya
Big smile when I make a mess
Big smile when I put my chain on
Big smile when I lose a friend
Big smile with the double chin
Big smile when I make a mess
Big smile when I put my chain on
Big smile when I lose a friend
Big smile with the double chin
I wanna be the best of all time, baby
Still insecure about my height, baby
Oh please, you're fucking up my high, baby
Whole wide mess, I'm a whole wide mess
Young and colored in America
Young Gelato, main character
I'm reliable, narrator
America, I wanna marry ya
I'm about to love you
I don't think I hate you
Woo! (Gelato melt away)
I'm about to love you (Gelato melt away)
I don't think I hate you (don't be shallow)
Bitch, I'm a star (I'm about to love you)
And I'm super, super pretty
I go crazy in the back (I don't think I hate you)
Don't got nothing in the bank, yeah
Bitch, I'm a star (I'm about to love you)
And I'm super, super pretty
I go crazy in the back (I don't think I hate you)
I go crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Buzzcut baby with the boxing gloves
Wanna be like bitch, with a flock of doves
Got a Marlboro habit that I can't afford
Got backseat you with the extra Porsche
Got over drafted then I got some more
I take your man 'cause I feel like it
Gave him back 'cause I feel like it
This boylife world's sincerely yours
Gelato melt away
Young Gelato say a prayer
Yeah, Gelato melt away
Young Gelato say a prayer, yeah
Gelato melt away
Young Gelato say a prayer
Yeah, Gelato melt away
Young Gelato say a prayer, yeah
(Gelato melt away) I'm speeding and baby I'm mac 10
(Young Gelato say a prayer) I'm speeding and baby I'm mac 10
I was fucking with it like I'm gonna die young
I was fucking with it like I'm gonna die young
Bitch, I'm a star
And I'm super super pretty
I go crazy in the paint
Don't got nothing in the bank
Bitch, I'm a star
And I'm super, super pretty
I go crazy in the paint
Don't got nothing in the bank
Big smile when I make a mess
Big smile when I make a mess
Pretty
The lyrics of "Superpretty" by Boylife explore identity and self-love as a young person of color in America. The singer questions who will accept and validate them, realizing that the most important person who can do so is themselves. They express their desire to be seen as the "best of all time" while acknowledging their insecurities and flaws, including feeling "like a mess" and being "still insecure about my height." The repeated phrase "big smile" suggests that the singer may be putting on a front to hide their true feelings and struggles.
The chorus declares "Bitch, I'm a star/ And I'm super, super pretty," perhaps expressing a sense of confidence and self-assurance that the singer is striving towards. The reference to Gelato could be a nod to the Italian ice cream, which is known for its smooth and creamy texture, perhaps highlighting the singer's desire for a similar sense of ease and comfort in their identity.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration with America and its systemic racism and inequality. The singer wants to "bury ya" and "marry ya" at the same time, reflecting their complex relationship with their country and its ideals. Overall, "Superpretty" is a powerful and introspective exploration of identity and self-love in the face of societal pressures and challenges.
