Young T & Bugsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deebo
Smoke to your face like a heat stroke
Man down, put that on my dead locs
Man down, put that on my dreadlocks
Shot, shot, shot, shot, T hot
If she hoppinβ² in the coupe, it's a bed rock
Lift the suicide doors at the next stop
Shot, shot, shot, shot
Please donβ²t play games
I got niggas in the back with the A
Ayyy
I don't love her, hit her then I do the race
We can tell by the way
Brodie told me that the trap's doing great
Yeah, Iβ²m so away
I canβ²t save you, gotta leave you in the maze
Push the suicide doors up
Ayyy, I'm in a Porsche truck
Cooling with a rich porter
Dβ²n'G for my daughter
Yeah, Jimmy Cole for my new bitch
Got guap, move block like rubicks
In the coupe, bust a dance to the music
Drop the top, make her lose it
Deebo
Smoke to your face like a heat stroke
Man down, put that on my dead locs
Man down, put that on my dreadlocks
Shot, shot, shot, shot, T hot
Bust down kettle, not a G-Shock
If she hoppinβ² in the coupe, it's a bed rock
Lift the suicide doors at the next stop
Shot, shot, shot, shot (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was running up and bumming out the big bucks
Got a driver waiting for me, Iβ²m a big shot
16 when I knew I want my wrist floss
Swiss gleam when you're looking at my wristwatch
All the heat, I can't leave it in a cooler
If he in a jeep then he most likely the shooter
See, my niggas in the back came with the ooh-rah
Gotta tell β²em to relax, take a woo-sah
Doing graveyard shifts for my fivers
Whoβ²d have thought I would've went school with some lifers?
Hit it in the past, only found out that he wifed her
Told my bro change but he loyal to the lycah
At the Fendi store but sheβ²d rather go to Michael Kors
Pigs got my niggas dashing 'round the courtyard
Ten toes in my Fours
Still whip it like Iβ²m Louis in the Porsche, yeah
Deebo
Smoke to your face like a heat stroke
Man down, put that on my dead locs
Man down, put that on my dreadlocks
Shot, shot, shot, shot, T hot
Bust down kettle, not a G-Shock
If she hoppin' in the coupe, itβ²s a bed rock
Lift the suicide doors at the next stop
Shot, shot, shot, shot
Rudebwoy stop 'e noise man
Weh yuh know bout bloodclaat good tings?
Weh yuh know bout dem shoes yah, dem shirt yah
Dem bloodclaat pants yah?
Stop ye chattings man
The lyrics to Young T & Bugsey's song "Dreadlocks" are a combination of confident and boastful lines, showcasing the artists' success and lifestyle. The opening lines, "Deebo, smoke to your face like a heat stroke, man down, put that on my dead locs" suggest that they are not to be messed with and are willing to take action if necessary. The repetition of "man down, put that on my dreadlocks" reinforces their loyalty to their crew and the consequences that could arise from disrespect. The mention of shots and being "hot" adds an element of danger and toughness to their image.
The following lines mention material possessions and indulgences, such as a "Bust down kettle, not a G-Shock" and hopping in a coupe, emphasizing their success and luxury. The idea of lifting "suicide doors" suggests that they embrace risk-taking and living on the edge. The chorus reflects their nonchalant attitude towards emotions and relationships, as they claim not to love someone and simply move on after engaging in a physical encounter.
Later in the song, they refer to their rise to fame and wealth. Lines like "Got a driver waiting for me, I'm a big shot" and "Swiss gleam when you're looking at my wristwatch" highlight their newfound success and flaunt their expensive possessions. The references to their "niggas" in the back and loyalty to their crew further enforce their street credibility. The verse also touches on the juxtaposition of their past and present lives, having gone to school with "lifers" but now living a glamorous lifestyle.
Overall, "Dreadlocks" portrays Young T & Bugsey's confidence, street credibility, and celebration of success and wealth. The lyrics exude a sense of power and toughness, emphasizing their loyalty to their crew while also highlighting their extravagant lifestyle.
