Buddy X '99
Dreem Teem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
talkin' 'about the family's plans.
To bring the sweet talk deep and down
works better than an average pickup line.
You put your woman out to pasture
on the promises you gave her last year.
Peace and love is all in your head
Your fam'ly seed is what you spread.
Buddy, my friend, who do you think you're foolin'?
Buddy, my friend, and what about your woman?
Buddy my friend, who do you think you're foolin', buddy?
Buddy, my friend.
I don't care what you do,
but there's a hypocrite that lives in you
'cause if your woman gave her love
in the same way that you do you'd feel away.
You know you would.
Buddy, my friend, who do you think you're foolin'?
Buddy, my friend, and what about your woman?
Buddy my friend, who do you think you're foolin', buddy?
Buddy, my friend.
Buddy, my friend.
Buddy my friend.
Buddy my
Buddy my friend.
Buddy my friend.
The lyrics to "Buddy X '99" by Dreem Teem are a commentary on the hypocrisy and infidelity of a man who claims to be a family man, but in reality, is cheating on his partner. The lyrics start by describing how the man talks about the family's plans and uses sweet talk to woo other women. He promises his partner peace and love, but in reality, he is putting her out to pasture and spreading his seed with other women. The chorus calls out the man, asking who he thinks he is fooling and reminding him of the harm he is causing to his partner. The final verse challenges the man's hypocrisy and reminds him that if his partner were to treat him the same way, he would not be happy.
The lyrics are powerful in their condemnation of infidelity and hypocrisy. They paint a picture of a man who uses manipulative tactics to cheat on his partner while pretending to be a loving family man. The chorus is particularly effective in its repetition of the phrase "Buddy, my friend," which both underscores the intimacy of the relationship between the man and the singer and emphasizes the singer's disappointment and anger.
