JEALOUSY
The Purist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cheddar breed jealousy
Especially if that man fucked up
Y'all don’t know where I come from, nigga
You don’t know what I’ve been through, ho
Said I wasted my time, huh?
Look bitch, I done told you so
I ain’t need your help, though
Bitch, I know I did it
You ain’t gotta tell me so
I done come a long way, I’m grindin’, grindin’
Really, I ain’t really have shit
Now your bitch see me shinin’, prime-timin’
And she all up on my dick
‘Cause she know I’m ballin’, ballin’
J. J. Redick comin’ off that pick
Sex text pics, open up her mouth
And my dick is about to go swish
Bitch, it’s… Danny Motherfuckin’ Brown
And you know I’m in beast mode
So bitch go run them c-notes
She come through naked in a pea coat
‘Cause she know she about to deep throat
Rubbin’ on her clit, playin’ with her pee hole
Lookin’ like she playin’ Guitar Hero
You niggas ain’t in my league, ho
My flows so damn illegal
No nigga, you ain’t my amigo
No senor, you no chico
I do not speak no Spanish
So I don’t know what that mean, yo
I met this Filipino, and she was jalapeño
Get up off of your ass, nigga
Worried about my fuck, boy
I don’t love that bitch
Ho just my fuck toy
Got the game in an uproar
Y’all are lames and so boring
Now your bitch got her tits out
Tryna get my laundry - oh boy!
I’m on some other shit
‘Cause y’all done got me fucked up
Y’all don’t know who y’all fuckin’ with
I’m a Linwood nigga ‘til I’m dead in the grave
Detroit techno, shootin’ up raves
Nigga’d I will take it back in the day
Don’t make me go back to that nigga in the braids
Raised around Ks, but a nigga escaped
So bitch-nigga, don’t make me take that bait
Niggas in the hood got love for me
No Limits, Skull Duggery
So I’m just tryna smoke my weed
Tell me where the hoes at
All up in my cell phone
Nigga you already know that
So I’mma call some hoes up
Tell ‘em bring some drink through
We gon’ have a party
Call the pill man up fool
So let's all get fucked up
‘Cause we ain’t worried ‘bout it
Smokin’ on that Master P
Bitch we ‘bout it, ‘bout it
The Purist's song Jealousy is a rap that talks about how money generates envy and that jealousy can turn dangerous if things go sour in financial relationships. The first two lines of the song talk about how money or "cheddar" can breed jealousy. The repetition of this line shows the importance of the message. The next line, "Especially if that man fucked up," refers to how people may become jealous if they see someone else making more money or being more successful than them. This line also acknowledges that the jealousy may come from a place of dissatisfaction with one's own life.
The rest of the song is a testament to Danny Brown's hard work and success. He talks about how far he has come from having nothing, to being a successful artist who has women throwing themselves at him. He even talks about his own experiences with jealousy, saying that people doubted him and criticized his path, but he did it his own way and succeeded. He also emphasizes that he doesn't care what other people think of him, and he's not afraid to be himself.
Jealousy is a powerful and emotive song that speaks to the struggles and successes that come with pursuing a dream. The lyrics show how money can create envy, and how success can attract praise and envy. Ultimately, Jealousy is a song about the hard work and perseverance it takes to make it in this world.

Concerned about my affairs
I don’t love that bitch
I feel no affection for that woman
Ho just my fuck toy
She is only for sex
Got the game in an uproar
I am causing a commotion
Y’all are lames and so boring
You all are uninteresting
Now your bitch got her tits out
She is exposing her breasts
Tryna get my laundry - oh boy!
Trying to gain my attention

I am doing other things
‘Cause y’all done got me fucked up

Nigga’d I will take it back in the day
I can go back in time if I need to
Don’t make me go back to that nigga in the braids
Do not make me revert to my old ways
Raised around Ks, but a nigga escaped
I grew up around violence, but I am not like that anymore
So bitch-nigga, don’t make me take that bait
Do not provoke me
Niggas in the hood got love for me
People in my community appreciate me
No Limits, Skull Duggery
References to rappers from New Orleans
So I’m just tryna smoke my weed
I just want to smoke marijuana
Tell me where the hoes at
Tell me where the women are
All up in my cell phone
Everyone is contacting me
Nigga you already know that
You already know this information
So I’mma call some hoes up
So I will summon some women
Tell ‘em bring some drink through
Tell them to bring alcohol
We gon’ have a party
We will have a celebration
Call the pill man up fool
Order drugs
So let's all get fucked up
Let's all get intoxicated
‘Cause we ain’t worried ‘bout it
Because we are not concerned
Smokin’ on that Master P
Smoking high-quality marijuana
Bitch we ‘bout it, ‘bout it
We are really into it
