Gifted
French Montana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these bitches hate you
This is something I know
Because you really love to give it up
There ain't nothing wrong with groupie love
You're the only one I notice
It's really hard for me to focus, yeah
'Cause my body so numb
All I do is kill pain
All I do is smoke loud
Put you niggas to shame
I be rolling all day, mix it in the champagne
And these bottles all free, not a single drink paid
'Cause they want me, they want me in their club
But if you got the numbers I'll be glad to show you love
'Cause baby, I'm an XO nigga coming up
Every time they play my song I'ma fill another cup
'Cause I'm down for whatever I can always keep it up
All I need is some liquor just to keep a nigga up

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

I be gifted when I'm faded, faded all the time
Thought they loved me when I made it
Niggas hated all the time, it's a dirty game
Try to find a bitch, maybe get married
That's like pissin' in a freezer,
trying to make canaries
Hawk vision, LA heels right on Huff Terrace
Making wishes,
now I'm french kissing your bitch in Paris
Come and find me di Giannis that's from '92
Heard you spoil her ass
When I bought her a number two
Dipping and you know it,
I be pimpin like I owe it
Come and find me now, I got an army with me now
Turn your brains oodles and noodles
For thinking you got a screw loose
I tighten you up, them coroners will button you up

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

Tony Montana on his last batch
This that Wayne Gretzky on his last scratch
This that Derek Jeter on his last catch
This that Whitney Houston on her last track
This that Tiger Woods on his last swing
This that Jimi Hendrix on his last string
This that Larry Davis on his last bang
You can call me Hugh Hefner on his last fling

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money




When they love me
I get money, I get money, I get money

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of French Montana's song "Gifted" describe a luxurious lifestyle on a surface level but delve into deeper themes of love, fame, and addiction. Montana expresses that he is numb and needs to be high in order to feel loved, suggesting that he struggles with addiction. He mentions that people only love him when he is high, indicating that his fame and success are dependent on his addiction. He talks about the freedom that money brings - he smokes loud and drinks champagne mixed with drugs all day. Montana asserts that he is blessed with certain skills that only come out when he is high. He likens himself to famous athletes and musicians who excelled in their last moments before retiring or passing away, suggesting that he is at the peak of his career and that he is living life to the fullest.


Despite the surface-level message of indulging in excess and forgetting one's troubles, "Gifted" reflects a deeper and darker side of addiction and the cost of fame. The song is a critique of the music industry and consumer culture that thrives on celebrity addiction and addiction to pleasure. Montana's repeated assertion that he is "gifted when [he's] faded" indicates a belief that he needs drugs to be able to create his best music. The song is a cautionary tale that shows the dangers of relying on drugs to sustain fame and fortune.
