Serve This Royalty
Cody ChesnuTT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We kick crowns, kings, and Adidas
Get high bitches, get high niggas
We kick crowns, kings, and Adidas
This shit is fresh...
Platinum chains and rings is
All the brother knows now
Gold is back in town
So you gotta serve this royalty
Believing in me and my dreams
Serving this royalty right
Trust what I say and what I see and we can get it
The dream is real if you serve this royalty
Leave your mama's house, make her proud
Serve this royalty right
From the valleys of Spain to the snowed banks of Maine
We can run this game
If you serve this royalty right
People think that I'm lazy
People think that I'm this fool because
I give a fuck about the government
I didn't graduate from high school
But I learn how it's done
So I'm gonna be number one
Thank you Jesus, for my mama
And I thank you bitches, for my money
The lyrics to Cody ChesnuTT's song Serve This Royalty take on a tone of standing up to authority and societal expectations. The repetition of the line "We kick crowns, kings, and Adidas" can be interpreted as rejecting the privileged and the materialistic. There is a call to get high, possibly suggesting a desire to escape reality and live life on their own terms. The reference to platinum chains and rings as all the brother knows now, followed by the assertion that gold is back in town, can be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of materialism and how societal trends change over time.
The lyrics assert that serving this royalty means believing in the singer's dreams and trusting their vision. The dream is real if you serve this royalty, but it requires leaving the familiar (represented by leaving your mama's house) and taking risks. The imagery of the valleys of Spain to the snowed banks of Maine speaks to the potential for success and influence across different spaces. The line "Thank you Jesus, for my mama / And I thank you bitches, for my money" can be seen as a humorous juxtaposition of spiritual gratitude and materialism.

Never 2 late
Joseph Rinaldi
@rcsurgeon1technically it can be too late….I didn’t talk to mine and of course he inevitably passed. No disrespect to him but parents should be putting in at 55%~60% of the effort with repairing relationships..I don’t know anything though and have many regrets…if this song makes you think of him maybe hit him up like you would anyone and talk about the song. Sounds like you had a bond with him. Don’t let it be too late if you’re questioning that stuff. Obviously this is a problem that I’m not addressing myself or I wouldn’t have typed out this long ass message to your short comment from years ago….#ventingcomplete #jordanyear
