Da$H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don′t mean to be rude though (yeah)
Say Jude I really wanna see you nude
I don't mean to be rude though (yeah)
King Of spades, bitch from Spain, it′s the kitchen maid
Getting paid at a rate my mother in disarray
Wrote the book and never read a page
Gone in 60 seconds
Every time we speak you cry, that's why I stick to texting
Smoked a bowl before I sent the message
Say we homies 'til the very ending
Say without me you′ll die
Can′t reply so I just hit the exit
Fuck, just my luck, in the terminal, pissy drunk
Catch a flight across the country just to chase a buck
Rolling stone, rolling stone, call too many place home at times
How many lives I'm living, 4 or 5
Each one I′m surely high
Yuri Orlov
Fake ID as I'm checking in the Waldorf
A fuckin′ warlord
Russian escort who going to blow me 'til my balls sore
Fuck you think I laid these bars for?
Car door open backwards
Bitch′s ass like an allergic reaction
She service my faction
Smoke some shit that should've came with a caption
All my actions be considered as classic
Free maverick, nigga
Free maverick and all my other cold b's
Every chance I get I tell a cop to blow me
Breath smell like a 40 and a half an ounce
Bitch′s home town be some shit a nigga can′t pronounce
Stash the drug in her lips that's under her salmon blouse
Life a movie by the way this shit is panning out (Nah mean?)
Caught up with my greens, indo and cash flow
Own mother think I′m an asshole
So? Think I care about about a bashful nigga?
Better hope that I don't catch you, nigga
Stomp your boss your team will take a lost
Slide off in the beigest Porsche (Nigga)
Your team make the rules, my niggas breaks the laws, just a corpse
The first verse of the song begins with the singer expressing his desire to see a woman named Jude, specifically her nude form. He clarifies that he doesn't mean to be rude. The next verse paints a picture of his lifestyle, with him being a free spirit, and indulging in vices like smoking weed. He talks about constantly moving and not having a permanent home, living several lives, and taking on multiple identities. This lifestyle is funded by his involvement in the drug trade. He is unapologetic and nonchalant about it, and even his mother thinks he's an asshole. He mocks those who follow the rules and hints at his violent tendencies.
The lyrics in this song seem to glorify a hedonistic and illegal lifestyle, with the singer living life to the fullest and not caring about the consequences or who gets hurt in the process. It seems to be a celebration of the freedom that comes with living outside the law, with the singer portraying himself as a rebel, living in the moment and enjoying every second of it.
