Destroy Lonely Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much promethazine that I be sipping
I been losing my mind, been tripping, I can't trust these bitches
I don't even know what's going on but I know I'm getting richer
And I ain't even been back home and I don't know when I'ma get there
I brought a brand new home, it's been two months and I ain't even slept in it
I work all day, I don't go out, I don't even need no section
And I tell niggas to send my rack-a's, I'm trying to collect the extras
Pointers all on my necklace, pointers all on my new bitch
I touchdown back in Atlanta, lil' shawty, she looking like new new
Niggas still pushing they old whips, me, I come through and pull up in new new
Niggas still rocking that old shit, yeah, I come through and I'm popping that new new
Nigga still watching my old moves, this a new season, lil' nigga, no Hulu
I'm the top floor boss, I walk in, who me? Nah, nigga, who you?
Dark ass shades, can't see through them
I'm pouring up Sprite, tryna see it through
You losing it, dog, what you doing?
Put it on, piss 'em off, that's how you do it
Too much promethazine that I be sipping
I been losing my mind, been tripping, I can't trust these bitches
I don't even know what's going on but I know I'm getting richer
And I ain't even been back home and I don't know when I'ma get there
I brought a brand new home, it's been two months and I ain't even slept in it
I work all day, I don't go out, I don't even need no section
If you put me next to all these rap niggas, you know I'm the freshest
And I tell niggas to send my rack-a's, I'm trying to collect the extras
And I promise her head the bestest, my white ho look like Ke$ha
I count all red 50s, ketchup, if you try me you'll learn you a lesson
Swap her out, I'm going to the next one, swap them out, I'm on to the next shit
They walk in, I walk out the exit, pussy dead, scratched it off my schedule
Pouring red at the red lights, purple wok, I got purple heart
I'm a soldier, bitch, I done lived a hundred lives but I'm alright
And you know me, nah, I keep it bool, shawty, and I stay high
Everything I do is super new and I don't even try
With the clothes I threw on today, I think that I could fly
On medication, heavenly sedated, touching the sky
It's a no, or even maybe, baby, why not try?
I'll see you later, maybe tomorrow, baby, got to count this guap
Too much promethazine that I be sipping
I been losing my mind, been tripping, I can't trust these bitches
I don't even know what's going on but I know I'm getting richer
And I ain't even been back home and I don't know when I'ma get there
I brought a brand new home, it's been two months and I ain't even slept in it
I work all day, I don't go out, I don't even need no section
If you put me next to all these rap niggas, you know I'm the freshest
And I tell niggas to send my rack-a's, I'm trying to collect the extras
In "new new" by Destroy Lonely, the lyrics portray the artist's lifestyle and mindset. The opening lines highlight the excessive consumption of promethazine, a prescription medication known for its sedative effects. This indicates a level of disillusionment or escapism, as the artist feels like they are losing their grip on reality. The mention of not being able to trust people, particularly women, suggests a sense of betrayal or negative experiences in relationships.
The lyrics also touch on the artist's financial success, as they acknowledge getting richer without fully understanding how it's happening. They express a disconnect from their home, both physically and emotionally, indicating a transient lifestyle due to their busy schedule. The artist mentions owning a new home but not even having time to sleep in it, emphasizing their dedication to work.
The song explores the artist's confidence and swagger, stating that they consider themselves the freshest among other rappers. They assert their dominance in the rap industry and demand additional payments for their work, indicating their value and ambition. The lyrics convey a sense of superiority and detachment from those who still cling to outdated trends and lifestyles.
In the following verses, the artist continues to boast about their lifestyle. They mention a new woman in their life who is seen as an upgrade ("new new") compared to previous relationships. The mention of counting "red 50s, ketchup" implies handling large amounts of money and the idea of staying ahead in the game. The artist also alludes to a casual attitude towards relationships, swiftly moving on to the next person when they grow tired.
The lyrics hint at a reckless, party-oriented lifestyle with mentions of pouring substances at red lights and living without consequences. The reference to being a soldier and having lived a hundred lives possibly suggests a life filled with exciting experiences, but also hints at a darker side and the toll it has taken. Despite this, the artist communicates a nonchalant attitude and a constant state of being high.
The lyrics also touch on their fashion choices, suggesting that with the clothes they wear, they feel invincible, almost as if they have the power to fly. The use of medication is mentioned again, conveying a sense of being detached from reality and residing in a dreamlike state.
Overall, "new new" by Destroy Lonely showcases the artist's confidence, desire for financial success, and detachment from traditional norms. The lyrics delve into the effects of substance use, the fleeting nature of relationships, and an underlying sense of disconnection from reality.
