CHILL FOO
Dumbfoundead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't know what the rules are
Six deep, squeezing in my moms car
Grand Prix we're cruising down Crenshaw
So cold, we were playboys with some wild hearts
World star at dive bars, lets go
How high, we're low lives, we know
We we're young, dumb and showing off for stars
Think I might be going to hard
They tell me that I'm taking it way too far
Ain't trynna figure out
Who's right or who's wrong
You got me fucked up
Who do you think you are
I need to chill
Nah you chill
All the homies in my face like
Chill fool chill
Nah you chill
Don't ever tell me to chill
That's real
Talk me outta all these stupid decisions
Don't you let me take it out
On you you you
Why don you pick your poison
I'll pick mine too
And we'll both drink it down
In this LA zoo
Think I'm power trippin'
Feel like a politician
Like I'm on a mission
Towards self-destruction
See no repercussion
Everything lead to cussin'
Just wanna see you buss it
I just wanna see you love me yea
But i don't even trust myself
Never learn my lesson
Think I might be going to hard
They tell me that I'm taking it way too far
Ain't trynna figure out
Who's right or who's wrong
You got me fucked up
Who do you think you are
I need to chill
Nah you chill
All the homies in my face like
Chill fool chill
Nah you chill
Don't ever tell me to chill
That's real
Chill fool chill
Chill fool
Chill fool chill
The lyrics to Dumbfoundead's song "CHILL FOO" reflect on his youthful and reckless past, growing up as a child star and making dumb decisions with his friends. The opening verse describes cruising down Crenshaw with his friends, feeling invincible and acting like playboys. He reflects on those days and how they have now become legends on the boulevard. The chorus expresses his frustration at being told to chill and not go too hard, but he doesn't want to figure out who's right or wrong. He knows that he needs to chill, but pushing back against the advice of his friends shows that he is struggling with self-control.
The second verse continues to explore Dumbfoundead's inner turmoil, where he feels like he's on a power trip and like a politician on a mission towards self-destruction. He knows that his actions have consequences, but they always seem to lead to conflict and arguments. He wants to be loved, but he doesn't even trust himself. The chorus repeats, reflecting on the push and pull of wanting to be reckless and wanting to follow the advice of those trying to help him.
Overall, the song is about the struggle to find balance and self-control in the face of impulses and a desire for validation. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and make bad decisions, especially when surrounded by people who support and encourage that behavior. The repeated phrase "chill fool chill" is both a rejection of that advice and a call to action, a reminder that sometimes it's important to take a step back and think before acting.
