Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fluid in my cup,
We up in the club,
We gon tear it up
We gon tear it up
Stunnas on
Stunnas on
Stunaas on
Stunnas on, got my stunnas on
Now middle of the day grippin' 12 0 clock at night
You'll never catch me without my stunnas on
I be on that green I be cheifen mean forgot my Vsine
But I got my stunnas on they don't wanna let me in the club wit em on
Say i'm lookin' like a thug wit em on (wit em on)
I take em off I get in and put em right back on
You'll never catch yo boy without his stunnas on
Big whips or rocks we goin' get 'em
Loose lips ain't leavin' out now we wit 'em
Any top notch dime in ya city we wit 'em
Don't stop late night till the morn keep the stunnas on
If its fresh or flashy yes we wit it
Got kicks so quick the first to go get it
Before u approach that dyme prolly already hit it
Don't waist time steady on my grind wit ma stunnas on
Now we sailin' in the mall homie ice got it all
Know I b doin' it wit my stunnas on
Catch me on the ave hand up on the dash
Hands b turnin' so fast who's dat wit dem stunnas on
My eyes tinted got a lean in the lac
Let a nigga look g in the lac
I'm a boss these cost runnin' to bring I know
Told ya never catch yo boy without his stunnas on
Like this big whips or rocks we gon get 'em
Loose lips ain't leavin' out now we wit 'em
Any top notch dime in ya city we wit em
Don't stop late night till the morn keep the stunnas on
If its fresh or flashy yes we wit it
Got kicks so quick the first to go get it
Before u approach that dime prolly already hit it
Don't waist time steady on my grind wit ma stunnas on
I got my stunnas on Cardier made
Wood grain frame wit my name in the shades
And when I wanna switch it up I put dem garda d's on
Same stunnas wood goin' now they all chrome
I read in em beat in 'em eat in 'em
Shorty say she love it so she let a niggas beat in 'em
Its a important part of my attire apart of my fresh
I cant leave home without 'em like my american express
I'm 4rm the a where its mandatory gotta ride some
Hit the mall man every day buy some
The bigger the better the harder to stunt
He ain't doin' it like me baby tell 'em stop frontin'
Like this big whips or rocks we gon get em
Loose lips ain't leavin' out now we wit em
Any top notch dime in ya city we wit em
Don't stop late night till the morn keep the stunnas on
If its fresh or flashy yes we wit it
Got kicks so quick the first to go get it
Before you approach that dime prolly already hit it
Don't waist time steady on my grind wit ma stunnas on
Soon as we walk in watch yo chick
Cause you know yo chick is gonna watch me
Bet she gonna like what she see
Cause I always got my stunnas on
Cause I always got my stunnas on
Stunnas on
Stunnas on
Stunnas on
Stunnas on, got my stunnas on
Cause I always got my stunnas on
The song Stunnas by Jagged Edge highlights the importance of wearing sunglasses and being flashy. The repeated phrase "stunnas on" emphasizes their value as an accessory in making a statement. The opening line "Stunna shades, fluid in my cup, we up in the club, we gon tear it up" sets the tone for the song about partying and the glamorous life. The lyrics reveal that the singer never leaves the house without their sunglasses, even in inappropriate situations, indicating their fondness for the accessory. Sunglasses become a crucial part of their attire that they can't leave home without, much like an American Express card. The chorus implies that the singer is always the center of attention, with women admiring him when he walks into a room wearing his stunnas.
The song also touches on broader issues of materialism and consumer culture. Jagged Edge sings, "I'm 4rm the a where it's mandatory, gotta ride some, hit the mall man every day buy some, the bigger the better, the harder to stunt." These lyrics suggest that living in Atlanta requires a certain level of flashiness and materialism for social acceptance. Shopping is seen as a constant and mandatory activity, and the more significant and expensive the item, the more successful one appears to be. Furthermore, the lyrics are about chasing fleeting thrills, with the singer always looking for the next big thing to make a scene in.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Stunnas" by Jagged Edge promote the message of materialism, establishing identity through accessories, and partying as an escape from reality. The combination of catchy beats, soulful harmonies, and clever lyrics has made it a popular song among party-goers and hip-hop enthusiasts.
Line by Line Meaning
Stunna shades,
Wearing sunglasses specifically meant to impress and show off
Fluid in my cup,
Drinking alcohol, probably something strong and expensive
We up in the club,
Currently partying at a high-end entertainment venue
We gon tear it up
Intend to have a wild and memorable time
Stunnas on
Continuously wearing the flashy sunglasses
Now middle of the day grippin' 12 0 clock at night
No matter what time it is, sunglasses are always worn by the singer
You'll never catch me without my stunnas on
Sunglasses are a constant accessory and won't be taken off lightly
I be on that green I be cheifen mean forgot my Vsine
Smoking marijuana and forgetting to bring eye drops, but still wearing the sunglasses
But I got my stunnas on they don't wanna let me in the club wit em on
Bouncers don't let him in the club while wearing the sunglasses
Big whips or rocks we goin' get 'em
Being successful in acquiring expensive cars, jewellery, and other luxury items
Dime in ya city we wit em
Surrounded by beautiful women
My eyes tinted got a lean in the lac
Driving a car with heavily tinted windows and tilting to the side
I'm a boss these cost runnin' to bring I know
Being in charge and willing to spend large amounts of money to get what he wants
Same stunnas wood goin' now they all chrome
Upgrading the sunglasses to a shiny and reflective material
Shorty say she love it so she let a niggas beat in 'em
A woman is attracted to the sunglasses, so the singer is able to have sex with her
The bigger the better the harder to stunt
The more expensive and flashy the item, the more impressive and difficult it is to show off
He ain't doin' it like me baby tell 'em stop frontin'
No one is as successful or impressive as the singer, and anyone pretending to be is lying
Soon as we walk in watch yo chick
Women will be attracted to the singer because of his flashy appearance
Cause you know yo chick is gonna watch me
Assuming women will be interested and intrigued by him
Bet she gonna like what she see
Confident that women will appreciate his appearance
Cause I always got my stunnas on
Continuing to wear the sunglasses throughout the night
