Oh Deer
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I see you sitting on the top, in your better phase
Say, how it feel it feel to be the best and the most paid?
How it feel to be the most praised?
Known to blow the most Haze
Known to have chicks who go both ways and still down to blow J
Remember from rags to riches, being mad ambitious
Screaming ""Fuck love"" cause you was always mad at bitches
From the place they put potatoes on their nozzles just to silence hollows
Shit, you probably went passed that, probably still chiefing blunts
As a matter of fact, you probably don't even pass that
You probably in the back of a black bach, splitting down the dutch
With a dime chick in the tail flap, but her head is up
I see where the hoes at, but where the bros at?
Call ? and ?, hey, where's your iPhone 44 at?
Or did you end up like most cats who split a lot of cheese together?
The more cheddar, the more better, ya'll won't be friends forever
And I know it's probably killing you softly, pardon me
Thinking you can handle all of your problems costly
No matter what the cost be, you're quick to try and buy it off
Everything is win-win, you know you can't afford a loss
But blowing up was always the main dream
So I can't get mad if you're flowing in the mainstream
But you knew from now that it'll be this hard
Shit, you learned to trick broads when your dick got hard
And if you can do that, ain't shit should be stopping you
Anything is possible and any obstacle should be hoppable
And now you living where it's tropical, you got the most shade
A letter to my future, sincerely, your broke days
Motherfuck them broke days
Most praise to the motherfucking most paid
In Joey Bada$$'s song "Oh Deer," the rapper reflects on the journey of a successful individual who has now reached a level of fame and fortune. He poses the question of how it feels to be at the top of the pyramid, both in terms of financial success and societal praise. However, Joey Bada$$'s tone is sarcastic as he questions the individual's discernment of their success by referring to their tendency to smoke marijuana, engage in sexual promiscuity and exhibit lavish lifestyle habits. The rapper touches on the topic of self-acceptance and identity when he remarks that this person may scream "Fuck love" because of their difficulties with intimate relationships.
Joey Bada$$ acknowledges the climb to success by referring to the time when this person "went from rags to riches" with a "mad ambition" for money. The rapper describes an environment where guns are present, and the poverty is evident in the way people place potatoes on their firearms to muffle the sound of gunshots. Joey Bada$$ emphasizes the fleeting nature of friendships, painted as one where money dictates the extent of the relationships. This is particularly highlighted when he talks about the "split a lot of cheese together" phrase. Joey concludes the verse by reminding the person that they had always dreamed of achieving fame, and they are now living that dream in a tropical location. He concludes by wishing his future self more financial success, rendering the depths of poverty a distant past.

Most praise to the mother fucker most paid
Mother fucker, yeah
