DJ Khaled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' she loves a nigga with them
Gold slugs, gold slugs
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
She loves the way, she loves the way it feels
When her body touch, her body touch your grill
I'ma pull up when she call me
Baby you know I don't pull out when we lovin'
Touchin', kissin', and lickin'
Always leavin' your panties or somethin' else
In my crib or my whip, I'm shinin' with this gold grill
I could give a fuck how you feel
The ass and them titties on the real
I took her back to my block, nigga my hood
Now everybody, everybody like
Damn that girl look good
And every nigga in the squad gon' keep it 100
She can tell that I'm a boss and I tell her
She loves me, oh she loves me
She loves a nigga with them gold slugs, gold slugs
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' at the same time
I'm grillin' and I'm fuckin' she loves a nigga with them
Gold slugs, gold slugs

When her body touch, her body touch your grill
When I'm licking and grillin' you know she love that
Call me semi automatic, how she bust back
And it's time she my now and later

When it's over she'll be the undertaker, killed that
Your body's shakin' girl, I feel that

And when you put them slugs in we even shine together
And I love that and I think she knows that

When her body touch, her body touch your grill
I brought out the Zoo, ain't gon' fuck with you baby

The central theme of DJ Khaled's song Gold Slugs is sexual desire and materialistic lifestyle. The lyrics describe the character's burning passion for a woman who loves a man with gold grills or teeth covers, which is a prominent symbol of street culture in America. The line "I'm grillin' and I'm f***in' at the same time" is the most indicative of the song's message, explicitly describing a situation where the character is having sexual intercourse with the woman while wearing his gold grill. The song suggests that the character's wealth and gangster persona make him irresistible to the woman.
The song also makes reference to the character's penchant for expensive cars, jewelry, and clothing. Lyrics like "I'm shinin' with this gold grill" and "sound like a water slide in a minute" are examples of how DJ Khaled uses imagery to convey opulence and leisure. Additionally, the line, "And it's time she my now and later" is a reference to the candy, Now and Later, which is synonymous with ghetto culture.
In conclusion, DJ Khaled's Gold Slugs is a sexually suggestive song that juxtaposes materialistic extravagance with the allure of the street. It presents a character that is confident in his wealth and gangster persona, which attracts the woman he desires. However, the song has been criticised for promoting a shallow and hyper-masculine lifestyle that emphasises gold grills, sex and wealth over morals, culture and substance.
