[Hook:]
The lyrics in "Dreads N Gold" by Waka Flocka Flame depict a lifestyle of excess and rebellion. Flocka raps about the material things he desires such as gold, cars and clothes, and how he is willing to put his goons on anyone who crosses him. He also talks about his use of drugs and gang affiliation. Flocka acknowledges the danger of his lifestyle, acknowledging that he could end up dead just by being associated with him. He mentions his "down south" roots, showing pride in where he comes from and how it has shaped his identity.
The chorus, "Flocka dreads and gold I'm from down south" is repeated several times throughout the song, highlighting the importance of these two elements to Flocka's personal style. Flocka's dreads and gold represent his rebellious, non-conformist attitudes, and his love for his southern roots. The one line that is repeated in the chorus after "down south" is "shawty from down south with the gold in his mouth", which could suggest that gold teeth are a common feature amongst people from his area.
The song also features references to rapper Gucci Mane, who at the time was serving a prison sentence. Flocka repeatedly calls for his release, showing support and solidarity with his friend.
