Daisies
Ugly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daisy, oh you're so shapely
Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady
Yeah, yeah

[ VERSE 1 ]
Let's take this from the top
I want to talk about a girl who's been around the block
She seems like a sweet chick, she's a beatnik
Or so I heard from other cats that she sleeps with
She'll hold a conversation light as a twig
With a song and dance about likin to live
And before you know it she slipped out of the party
To paint the town with another Goodtime Charlie
She likes diamonds and cashmere
But she'll settle for a dinner and cab fare
Back in school she was a bad Betty
Who had to go steady with Chad, Derrick and Eddy
Now she's graduated to a home-wrecker
Who never regrets, so save the lecture
You're stylish and cavalier
But sweetie, you need to take a look in the mirror

Daisy, oh you're so shapely
Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady
Yeah, yeah
She's danger and you can't save her
So call the reverend, why in heaven can't you be a lady?
Yeah yeah

Let's take this from the top
Let's take this from the top

[ VERSE 2 ]
She seems straight off a billboard
With the looks girls kill for
But she swings like Happy Gilmore
I know one cat claimin in love
While she runs around and drags his name in the mud
Impersonating the good girl like charades
Sold your soul, she's as cold as the Ice Capade
You'll be in a dump feelin stabbed in the back
While she's puffin on a cigarette havin a laugh
Buddy, you barked up the wrong tree
So sing a new song and keep it on key
And don't let the freak crawl back on your love seat
Say, "Don't touch me, please move your butt cheek"
She's a tramp, you can ask Ol' Blue Eyes
Or Prince, who said act your age not your shoe size
Girls, if you don't want to be lonely
Well, show a little class quick fast, so you won't be

Daisy, oh you're so shapely
Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady
Yeah, yeah
She's danger and you can't save her
So call the reverend, why in heaven can't you be a lady?
Yeah yeah

Let's take this from the top
Let's take this from the top

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen





That's right Daisy, you better do right

Overall Meaning

The song "Daisy" by Ugly Duckling is a commentary on the stereotypical "bad girl" who is promiscuous and materialistic. The lyrics describe a girl who has a reputation for sleeping around and being shallow, and the singer urges her to wise up and become a lady. The first verse describes her as a beatnik who likes to live life to the fullest, but ultimately gets caught up in partying with men who use her for her beauty. The second verse suggests that she puts on a facade of being a good girl to attract men, but in reality is cold and insensitive, using and manipulating them without regret.


The chorus repeats the message that if Daisy were to wise up and take a look at herself in the mirror, she could become a lady instead of remaining a danger to herself and others. The bridge is a call to action for Daisy to do right, suggesting that it's never too late to turn things around.


Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about the consequences of living a shallow and promiscuous lifestyle, and encourages women to value themselves more and strive for more meaningful relationships.

And to think there's so many people out there stuck in the past claiming hip hop is dead.. Meanwhile they wouldn't even listen to this if it was right in front of them. Hip hop is in a great state provided you stop focusing on the commercial side of things.

Roberto Torres Chino XL has had a ton of great verses in the past few years... And legends like Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought and Scarface are all active and still as great as ever.

Red Pill improved so much on this project. VK & AB quality as ever.

KnownEpidemic

Personally Red Pill has always been my favourite MC out of the 2 and his broke bars on the likes of Desperate are as good as it gets..

Not to take anything away from VK 'cause he's a great MC but I love Red Pill's style and his solo work is great too.
