Flex
Swoope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really getting wins but I ain't gotta flex
When you know you got it and you know who God is
You ain't gotta flex
I ain't gotta flex, I ain't gotta flex
Really getting wins but I ain't gotta flex
When you know you got it and you know who God is
You ain't gotta flex
Yeah, I ain't gotta fake given all the facts
Nah, I never front, that's why they call me back
You lying on my line let me call you back
I stay in my lane but you getting mad
So I'm on the wave like a jet ski
Wait up, my John Wayne need a Gretzky
I'm just showing off the one who blessed me
If that ain't what you doing, why you flexing
That's your homie watch, that's your momma whip
How you counting checks, you ain't out of debt
Made the bands ring, with your tax money
Then Uncle Sam came now you need gas money
How I'm gonna flex up next to God when He designed what earth is?
Anything I got was given by His purchase, I ain't earn it
So now I don't feel the pressure of it all to ever flex
You flex on accident when your sauce is effortless
I ain't gotta flex, I ain't gotta flex
Really getting wins but I ain't gotta flex
When you know you got it and you know who God is
You ain't gotta flex
I ain't gotta flex, I ain't gotta flex
Really getting wins but I ain't gotta flex
When you know you got it and you know who God is
You ain't gotta flex
Ask yourself this question then your answer let me know it
Is it really flexing if you gotta let me know it
Age of social media don't happen unless you show it
But them same likes from them people will unfollow if you blow it
Man, how deep is your pockets?
You put some people through college
Your money steeper than knowledge
How to keep your people outta bondage
How you feasting on lobster and you don't eat with your partners
Meaning that you can't call yourself a boss
If your people is jobless, boss up
You ain't gotta front, you ain't gotta front
Gold on your teeth for real, you ain't gotta front
I ain't gotta stunt, I ain't gotta stunt
Go through these streets is ill, I ain't gotta stunt
I ain't gotta flex, I ain't gotta flex
Really getting wins but I ain't gotta flex
When you know you got it and you know who God is
You ain't gotta flex
In Swoope's song "Flex," the message is clear: when you truly understand who you are in God and the blessings He has bestowed upon you, there's no need to boast or flex. Swoope emphasizes that while he is gaining many accomplishments, he does not need to prove anything to anyone. He suggests that those who do feel the need to flex may not fully understand their worth, and are therefore overcompensating to gain validation or acceptance.
The lyrics question the role of social media in today's society, expressing doubt that flaunting one's wealth or status is a true reflection of success. Instead, Swoope reminds us that true success lies in elevating and empowering others. He urges listeners to elevate those around them in the same way that God has elevated them, rather than being selfish with their blessings.
Overall, "Flex," is an inspiring song that reminds listeners to stay grounded and humble, and to understand the true meaning of success. It highlights the importance of recognizing one's blessings and using them to help others, rather than using them solely for personal gain.
