Flex
Dr.Swan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Big flex on the net
Worried 'bout a blue check, not a real check
It ain't working out for you, but you still flex
Fronting like you happy when you really feel stressed
Oh God, they gon' do it all for the likes
Most of what you seein' is a fraudulent life
They ain't really paying for the cars and the ice

Don't fall for the hype
Yeah
She gon' twerk something on the 'gram
For the fans, she really got a man
I see you riding in that whip made in Japan
With a couple grand in your hand
Styling and profiling on your profile
In a different city in all of your posts now
Then the next pic is a thirst trap
Hoping that somebody wanna flirt back
But its all
Big flex on the net
Worried 'bout a blue check, not a real check
It ain't working out for you, but you still flex
Fronting like you happy when you really feel stressed
Oh God, they gon' do it all for the likes
Most of what you seeing is a fraudulent life
They ain't really paying for the cars and the ice
Don't fall for the hype
Nah, you ain't never been around the globe
Truthfully you know your bank account is low
So why I see you flexing them bands?
And you ain't never invested in land
But when everybody watching how you live you gotta make your life look more popping than it is
Acting like you all booked up, like you got another gig but you probably never did
'Cause it's
Big flex on the net
Worried 'bout a blue check, not a real check
It ain't working out for you, but you still flex
Fronting like you happy when you really feel stressed
Oh God, they gon' do it all for the likes
Most of what you seeing is a fraudulent life

They ain't really paying for the cars and the ice
Don't fall for the hype, nah

Overall Meaning

In the song "Flex" by Dr.Swan, the lyrics address the prevalent culture of social media flexing and the desire for validation and attention through fake displays of success and happiness. The song criticizes those who prioritize gaining a blue verification check on social media platforms over pursuing genuine accomplishments and wealth.

The lyrics emphasize that the individuals being referred to in the song are not financially stable or successful in reality, but they still feel the need to exaggerate and show off on social media. The line "It ain't working out for you, but you still flex" highlights the contradiction between their actual lack of success and their attempts to appear successful.

The song also touches upon the phenomenon of people living double lives on social media by pretending to be happy and content when, in reality, they are struggling and stressed. The line "Fronting like you happy when you really feel stressed" comments on the facade some individuals create to project an image of happiness and satisfaction to their followers.

The lyrics further criticize the shallow pursuit of popularity and validation through likes and followers. The line "Oh God, they gon' do it all for the likes" suggests that many people are willing to go to extreme lengths and manipulate their lives just to gain approval and attention on social media.

The song also tackles the issue of materialism and the tendency to portray a lavish lifestyle on social media, even if it is not financially realistic. The lyrics challenge the authenticity of those who flaunt expensive cars and jewelry, asserting that they are likely not actually able to afford these luxuries. The line "Most of what you seeing is a fraudulent life" highlights the deceitful nature of these online displays.

Ultimately, the song advises listeners not to be deceived by the hype and to avoid falling for the false narratives presented on social media. It serves as a reminder to prioritize personal happiness, success, and genuine connections over seeking validation through social media platforms.

Pretending to have many professional engagements and opportunities when in reality they are unlikely to exist

'Cause it's
Because it is

Don't fall for the hype, nah
Do not be deceived or influenced by the exaggerations or trends
