The Boss
Brown (James) Lyrics

The opening lyrics of this song, "1 2 get down" implies that it is time to get up and move to the music. The lyrics "Paid the cost to be the boss" are repeated throughout the song and can be interpreted in two ways. The first interpretation is that Brown is a successful and wealthy man who has worked hard and paid the price to be where he is today. The second interpretation is that Brown may be referring to the societal barriers and racism he has had to break through to attain his success.

The phrase "Look at me you know what you see, You see a bad mutha" is an example of Brown's strong self-confidence and belief in his own abilities. He is unapologetically proud of who he is and what he has achieved. The repetition of "Havin' fun, got money to burn" suggests that Brown is enjoying the rewards of his hard work and success. The phrase "I'm a bad mutha" is repeated throughout the song, further emphasizing Brown's confidence and assertiveness.

The song ends with the phrases "Head for the turn around" and "Told you so!", possibly suggesting that Brown is ready to move on to the next chapter of his life or victory. Overall, "The Boss" is a statement of self-confidence, pride, and success, conveying the message that if you work hard and believe in yourself, you too can be a boss in your own right.
