Pegasus
Jean Dawson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Super sunset, pussy magnet
I dropped out of college, I was anxious
Past tense, foresight
I didn't cry when she told me 'bout her boyfriend
I lied when she asked if I was in a band
I drive with a .45 in my pants
I would've been a Crip if I'd have followed dad's
Footsteps, no press, I don't play pretend
Light on my side that I make dance
Hit a right, my sight turn infrared
Bitch, I might be the boy in the back
Black Björk, my Lord, I'm a little left
Bitch, I might be the boy in the back
Black Björk, my Lord, I'm a little left
Of the block, make the thugs love Simple Plan
Little cous' on the block, fuck a middle man

Please don't call the police on me
I know they want me dead
Please don't call the police on me
Black bull, I don't fuck with feds
Please don't call the police on me
I know they want me dead
Please don't call the police on me
Black bull, I don't fuck with feds

Please don't call the police on me (With feds)
Please don't call the police on me (With feds)
Please don't call the—
I'm bout to blocka, blocka
(When the police call)
Watch this

Fall asleep, diamonds in my teeth
I don't like creep, they watch me in my sleep
A lot of green, a lot of blue
I'm a big hit, I'm bulletproof
I ride a pegasus, got money mattresses
Got me a bad lil' bitch, she an actor, bitch
She sucking on the dick, she on the TV screen
She make a lot of money and she in love with me

I know they want me dead
Black bull, I don't fuck with feds
I know they want me dead
Black bull, I don't fuck with feds





"You can't sit with us!"

Overall Meaning

The song "Pegasus" by Jean Dawson features verses that portray his raw and aggressive energy with a hint of vulnerability as he delves into his personal life experiences with themes of violence, anxiety, and social rejection. The lyrics open up with a sense of grandiosity as he describes a "super sunset" and refers to himself as a "pussy magnet." He then juxtaposes this with his own anxiety as he admits to dropping out of college due to his mental health. Dawson then sings about his past, including his lack of emotional reaction when his former partner disclosed her new relationship and his false claim about being in a band.


The chorus of the song revolves around Dawson's fear of authority, particularly the police, as he states that he knows they want him dead and that he refuses to associate with them. He repeats this plea multiple times, perhaps indicating how strongly he feels about the issue. The rest of the song explores the rapper's upward mobility and success despite his past struggles. He boasts about his wealth, diamond encrusted teeth, and his money-making girlfriend who is also an actor. Dawson's lyrics are punctuated with occasional sound effects and ad-libs, creating a gritty and climactic atmosphere.
