D-J Khaled (D-J Khaled)
Ooh
The streets is fed up (who else nigga?)
We fed up (we the best)

It was all a dream yeah homey I am on my job
And you can't take that away from me (can't take that away)
Yeah I got my team and I got all of my niggas behind me (C-T-E nigga)
And they give me the love I need (yeah)
I got my foot in the door but still hustlin' for more
Check in the game man back in the light (yeah)
I'm fed up (ay) I'm fed up (ay) I'm fed up (ay)
I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

I am absolutely positively on my grizzy
Even though I'm sick and I'm tired I gets busy
Started a 62 but it ended up a Frisbee
And me I like to sit at the stove until I'm dizzy
Ball so hard it's like I brought the game with me
Left my glove so white you thought I brought Jermaine with me
Bout to paint a perfect picture like I brought the frame with me
(I'm fed up, I'm fed up)
I give it all up before I let the fame get me
I got niggas tryna sue me bitches tryna do me
Way these niggas actin' you'd a thought they never knew me
But these niggas know me and half them niggas owe me
I'm fed up probably why I'm actin' like the old me

It was all a dream yeah homey I am on my job
And you can't take that away from me (Its Ricky Ross)
Yeah I got my team and I got all of my niggas behind me
And they give me the love I need (Khaled you know I got you for life)

Shorty bendin' over know I'm bout to tear it up
Before you let your top back get your bread up
Made history but now we claimin' victory
Get ya out the white house go back to your efficiencies (suckas)
Suckas feel me and I know you haters hear me
(I'm fed up, I'm fed up)
Like I-R-S you wonderin' what I'm makin' yearly
Let them brown bags circulate (stack) so I perpetrate (never)

Lookin' at the parking lot better get your mind right

And when they give ya they shoulders never cry on 'em
And when they love you to death just never die on 'em
And the question still remains
Have I counted all the money that I've managed to obtain?
Niggas dedicating overtime to damaging my name
And somehow I'm still the hottest mufucka' in the game

I'm tired of these haters
That's why I go hard like A.C. Slater
Weezy Baby here, y'all prenatal

Uh I'm sick of being criticized
That's why I'm higher than a Star Trek enterprise
I do it big don't get mad cause you minimized
I keep a red flag case I get penalized, uh
Its young money like you didn't know
Stop playing I hit Drizzy with the give and go
It was all a dream, now we the dream team
Who trying to see us? You seeing things
Hustle like I still pay rent man
Got a chest full of heart no tin man
Uh, Kha-Kha-Khaled I'm fed up,
Flow wake the dead up
Weezy

Yeah how bout I been in this been breakin' records since '9-4
So I ain't gotta brag about records that I've broke
Records that I hold

And I'm fed up with these niggas relieving my lingo (yeah)
Don't bite the hand of your provider
Cause man if I ain't influenced you you a liar

Check in the game man back in the light (now I'm back in the light)




I'm fed up (ay) I'm fed up (ay) I'm fed up (ay)
I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

Overall Meaning

The song "Fed Up" by DJ Khaled featuring Usher, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, and Drake is all about being fed up with not being recognized for the hard work and hustle that has been put in. The lyrics are largely about rising through the ranks and making something of oneself, despite the obstacles that come with fame and success. Each contributor to this track has their say, with the lyrics mostly being about proving naysayers wrong and asserting dominance over the industry.


The title of the song itself stands out, hammering in the idea behind the lyrics that those who put their all into making it to the top of their respective fields will eventually become fed up with not being recognized in the way they believe they deserve. The imagery of standing at the edge of privilege and prominence, looking inwards, is another powerful representation of the struggle these artists are talking about. Furthermore, this song features some of the most popular and successful rappers of the 2010s, making it an excellent example of the emerging culture and new sounds that would be seen throughout that decade.
