Pampers
G-Eazy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fell asleep in a freshman class, woke up on a tour bus
Somehow, someway, all my test questions passed
And I didn't even take shortcuts
Man, life is but a dream, "is this shit real"
So trill, yeah I'm rollin' at night, I can't sit still
Five mixtapes can't change up my social status
And my balance, but a Top 40 hit will
Shit, I know they see me, don't question them
Dreams of being on TV, no Requiem
I just want to live this dream, will it be what I imagined
But nothing tops making a living off your passion
So either way I'm chasing after something I ain't never had
Woke up today feeling hungry as I ever have
And I don't usually ever brag
But these dreams aren't far anymore, you can tell them that

These plastic dreams
Of TV screens, and radios
Pretending everything is what it seems
These plastic dreams
Are all I know
Would someone wake me up from all these plastic dreams

I never love bitches, I love money and my city
Love my whole team, bout to bring them all with me
I'm headed to the top of this, I'm taking bout the tippy
Hittin' parties with a couple A-list, gettin' trippy
Feeling myself and I ain't even did shit yet
Drop is bout to feed me out paper like an inkjet
When I see these girls in the crowds sing my words all loud
I be tryin' see how many I can get wet
Snatch them like a fishnet, game so viscous
Me and Skizzy Mars and like 38 bitches
It's all I could do so, I'mma bag two, yo
As long as I don't ever smash a broad, no Juno
Listen, I just made my own lane and these rappers went piranha on me
Bittin' off everything, my style and my persona
Homie, I just keep dreaming of the day I bang Rihanna
They say "I'm a dreamer", I say "wait until mañana"

These plastic dreams
Of TV screens, and radios
Pretending everything is what it seems
These plastic dreams




Are all I know
Would someone wake me up from all these plastic dreams

Overall Meaning

In G-Eazy's song Pampers, the lyrics detail his meteoric rise in the music industry. He starts off talking about falling asleep in a freshman class and waking up on a tour bus, all while passing his tests without shortcuts. He reflects on how surreal his life feels and that he can't sit still because he's too excited. He acknowledges that his five mixtapes haven't changed his social status, but having a top 40 hit will. Despite the materialistic dreams of fame and TV screens, he ultimately just wants to make a living off his passion and chase after something he's never had. The chorus focuses on these "plastic dreams" of fame and fortune that he can't seem to escape from.


The second verse delves into G-Eazy's love for money, his city, and his team. He's determined to bring everyone up to the top with him and partake in the lavish lifestyle that comes with being a successful artist. He's confident in his abilities to make it big and boasts about the girls who come to his shows singing his lyrics, hoping they'll end up hooked on his charm. He acknowledges the "piranhas" in the industry who copy his style and persona but ultimately keeps his eyes on the prize – dreaming of the day he can be with Rihanna. The chorus ultimately reminds us that despite the glitz and glamour, it's all just an illusion.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was released as part of G-Eazy's "B-Sides" project in 2012, which was a collection of previously unreleased tracks. Another interesting tidbit is that the song references the movie Juno when G-Eazy raps "As long as I don't ever smash a broad, no Juno." The line is a reference to the plot of Juno where the teenage protagonist decides to give her baby up for adoption. Additionally, the song features Skizzy Mars, who was relatively unknown at the time of the song's release in 2012 but has since grown a significant following.


The chords for the song are not widely available, as it is primarily a hip-hop track with a beat-heavy instrumental.
