Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We at the top of the, yeah
We at the top of the building or sum'
(Crazy as fuck bro)
What's crazy, this Patek gon' cost me an arm
What's crazy, not planning on buying just one
What's crazy, she sucking my dick, I went numb
What's crazy is I just be stackin' up bitches, I can't just have one (Yuh, crazy as fuck)
Bitch tried to set me up, okay, that's why I keep that gun (Flrr, fah)
You want dough, where the fuck you was at when I ain't have no one? (R2rCam let's go)
Dirty Diana (Woo)
I pour a 4 in the Fanta (Sippin' on Wok)
She on my wood like a hammer (Yeah)
I'm a poet, she a dancer (Let's go)
This not a verse, this a stanza
Betta' cut that, chop' chop' came wit' a camera (Came wit' a beam or sum')
Ain't no way that boy gon' catch me slip like banana
XD let that boy hang, banner
Tell the bitch "I'm the goat."
She tried to steal my clothes
I tried to get her to suck on my dick, she tryna talk to me bout some goals
This is not soccer don't talk about goals
Just suck on my dick and I'll buy you some toes
I heard that they listen to me 'round the globe
Don't talk out yo' neck, better watch yo' tone bitch
All my music classical, I paint a picture, Picasso
Dive in a hoe like cannonball, she said that I'm an animal
That life he live is fictional, a fantasy (Yeah)
Broke ass bitch tried to say that I'm broke, lil' bitch pardon me? (What, what)
Told the lil' thot I'm a star, look up and find me
Hop in that Hellcat, gone, cops can't find me (Oh my god)
Shot the lil' boy in his dome, he lost that mind thing, tuh yeah
She want me to send her a symbol but I don't speak Chinese
Can I take that bitch, it's highly likely
Richer than all my teachers that's why they don't like me
Had to tell the bitch, "Gon' march on", I think she a Pisces
Spark up a wood, 'cuz it really do shit for my psych, yeah
Damn my cup gon'?
Fuck, I just brought a slut home
Think that she a redbone
Woo, preachin' through yo' headphones
R2rCam, let's go
She a bad bitch, so imma laugh at her jokes
She put that sloppy on me like I'm Joe
Earned my stripes wit' an Off-White coat
Like a cavity, I put a hole in yo' bitch
Got a glock on me, can't fold like this, can't tote like this, can't flow like this
We at the top of the, yeah
We at the top of the building or sum'
(Crazy as fuck bro)
What's crazy, this Patek gon' cost me an arm
What's crazy, not planning on buying just one
What's crazy, she sucking my dick, I went numb
What's crazy is I just be stackin' up bitches, I can't just have one (Yuh, crazy as fuck)
I was just talking to latina bitch, had to cut her off, tried to have my son (Woo, what)
Bitch tried to set me up, okay, that's why I keep that gun (Flrr, fah)
You want dough, where the fuck you was at when I ain't have no one? (R2rCam let's go)
The lyrics to M.a.r.e.e.'s Modern Day Love showcase a combination of braggadocio and vulnerability. On one hand, the artist boasts about his wealth, expensive watches (such as the Patek), and ability to attract multiple women ("stackin' up bitches"). On the other hand, there are moments of honesty and pain, such as when he reveals a woman tried to set him up and he had to cut her off, or when he talks about how he felt "numb" during a sexual encounter. There are also nods to violence and danger, such as when he mentions owning a gun and shotting someone in the head.
At its core, the song is about the modern day experience of love and relationships, which is oftentimes shallow and transactional rather than deep and emotional. This is reflected in the way M.a.r.e.e. talks about women as disposable objects, and how he places a higher value on material possessions like his watch than on human connections.
