Famous Dex Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Im hot like some lava
these bitches they suck me they give me saliva
im all about commas, you say u a gangsta bitch go ask my father
i peak to my mother, cant trust a soul but i love my brothers
shoot like danny glover, pull up on the opps do hits out the hummer
why you jealous? go get you some money
my trap jumps like bunnies
these bitches they on me they just want my money

they cant get a thing (at all) cuzz im ballin like kobe
i shoot like Ginobilli
aint taking no change better pay if you owe me
my head high like i sit in the nosebleed
i pulled up in forgies, im laughin at money i feel like bill cosby
my cup is so muddy, 2 bitches are with me dont care if they buddies
i think they want money, i look at them bitches like girl im no dummy

cant trust all these niggas they switch up like colors
im flexin like bubba
i know that you jealous but u aint on nothing

so quit all that stuntin
if im upping my shotty yea i get to dumpin

Overall Meaning

In "Jealousy," Famous Dex has crafted a classic braggadocio tune, where he speaks of his money, fame, and success. The first line, "I'm hot like some lava," is a reference to his fiery passion and energy that he brings to the game. These lines speak to the level of notoriety that he has achieved in his career, with women throwing themselves at him, all while he remains focused on making money. The lyrics also make it clear that his gangsta status has been certified by his father, so fans can rest assured that he's the real deal.

Famous Dex's distrust of people comes up repeatedly throughout the song, except for his close-knit group of friends who he refers to as his "brothers." He seems to be concerned with only a small circle of people and cares little about the opinions of others, as seen in the line "I know that you're jealous, but you ain't on nothing, so quit all that stuntin'." By the end of the song, Dex's tone has become more aggressive, as he warns the listener that he isn't afraid to use his shotgun.

Overall, Famous Dex's "Jealousy" is a typical hip-hop braggadocio tune, showcasing his bravado and affirming his gangsta status. The song's lyrics and delivery are consistent with the style of many contemporary trap and rap artists.
