Savage
Savannah Dexter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They wanna play a game 'til I get to poppin′ shit
I'll burn every fuckin' bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I′m the savage
I′m not with the bull shit, I do not politic
They wanna play a game 'til I get to poppin′ shit
I'll burn every fuckin′ bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I'm the savage
Talk it on lock make man wanna cry
Kill with the pen, never been more alive
You′ve been doin' music for how long now?
I just came in at the end of July
Everybody got hit by surprise
Couple bitches got stripped of their pride
Snatched off any crown they wore
Came in put an end to the lies
Everybody wanna talk about numbers
Let's talk bitch, truth hurts
I did fifteen grand last week
No streams, just merch
I can make what you make in a quarter
Just sing on a hook, no verse
You′re the one with my name in your mouth
Stupid bitch couldn′t look no worse
People change when they start gettin' desperate
Videos never look so gross
Raise Hell did three point five
I don′t give a fuck about your Facebook post
Your career's now dead, no hope
Took your ass to the swamp, no boat
Think hard ′fore you light that fire
We both know you don't want no smoke
I′m not with the bull shit, I do not politic
They wanna play a game 'til I get to poppin' shit
I′ll burn every fuckin′ bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I'm the savage
I′m not with the bull shit, I do not politic
They wanna play a game 'til I get to poppin′ shit
I'll burn every fuckin′ bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I'm the savage

People talk shit but they don't sell
Tryna down talk me give ′em all hell
Last year I was down to my last dime
Now people look at me like a coat tail
But I ain′t give free rides, no piece of the pie
They didn't give a fuck when they see me deprived
Try to deceive but I see through the lies
′Cause this [?] gotta keep it alive
Certified savage, I go bananas
Five foot nine with a sex appeal
I've been schooled on this music biz
The more you make, the less you feel
Telephone been ringin′ non-stop
Major label tryna come with the mills
I could tell that the love wasn't real
Told the motherfuckers go fuck your deal
I ain′t donin' all this back and forth
Hope you got what you're askin′ for
I don′t wanna be a Taylor Swift
Put that in your stat reports
I just laugh as these streams keep stackin' more
Shrink big deals like a last resort
My savages, I′m a savage for
I'm not with the bull shit, I do not politic
They wanna play a game ′til I get to poppin' shit
I′ll burn every fuckin' bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I'm the savage
I′m not with the bull shit, I do not politic
They wanna play a game ′til I get to poppin' shit
I′ll burn every fuckin' bridge, give me the matches
One thing they better know about me I′m the savage
In Savannah Dexter's song Savage, the artist talks about her no-nonsense attitude and how she won't put up with people's games or politics. She's not afraid to burn bridges and give people a piece of her mind if they try to mess with her. She's a certified savage who's been in the music industry for a short time, but has already made waves and taken numbers. She's not afraid to call out other artists on their fake love or downplay her success, as she knows her worth and won't let anyone try to bring her down.
The lyrics also touch on how people talk a big game but don't actually sell anything or back up their words. Aside from her attitude, Savannah Dexter also talks about the business side of the music industry and how major labels have tried to woo her with money, but she knows that true love can't be bought. The chorus repeats the lines, "I'm not with the bull shit, I do not politic, they wanna play a game 'til I get to poppin' shit, I'll burn every fuckin' bridge, give me the matches, one thing they better know about me I'm the savage," which emphasizes the overall message of the song.

The most #Savage line to me was “You’ve been doing music for how long now? I just came in at the end of July”
As usual your songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@SAVANNAHDEXTER
Thank you!
@jaydemerritt6111
Agreed
@johnd5453
I think the most Savage line was "I don't give a fuck bout your FB post. Think hard before you light that fire. We both know you don't want no smoke". But tbh both verses and the hook was all Savage. Loved every second of it
