Cupid
Dame D.O.L.L.A's "Cupid": Embracing Authenticity and Style
Lyrics
808 Mafia
Introduction to 808 Mafia
The Cupid pad, the Cupid pad
Reference to a place called the Cupid Pad
Cupid, ooh
Mention of Cupid, possibly a theme or metaphor
You boys tryin' too hard (too hard), it's in me, not on me (nah)
Commentary on others trying too hard, emphasizing authenticity
Ism is (ridiculous) niggas tryna clone me (they trippin')
Highlighting individuality, criticism of imitation
Only got brothers (brothers), I don't got homies (at all)
Preference for close-knit relationships with brothers over casual friends
Spot her from a mile (mile), take his tenderoni (huh)
Spotting someone's partner and using a term of endearment
They ain't used to that (ay), made him stupid mad (ay)
Being different and causing envy
Out the Porsche in some Dior (ay), in my stupid bag (bag)
Confidently stepping out in expensive clothing and possessions
We don't do the tag (tag), black card or do it cash (yeah)
Preference for non-traditional payment methods
She say she love the way I live (she love it)
Positive feedback from a romantic partner
I call the crib the "Cupid Pad" (Cupid pad)
Nickname for living space, the Cupid Pad
You know the rules, if she choose, you lose (yeah)
Emphasizing the consequences of romantic choices
Platforms on mama Queens, uh, hunnid strips blue (blue)
Reference to geographical location and wealth
I don't really flex (flex), but today I'm feeling extra
Uncharacteristic display of wealth today
You feel me? Send my text, bruh, Bentley to the neck (uh)
Communication through text, flaunting a luxury car
Easy, Dolla feelin' greasy (greasy)
Feeling confident and slick
Pulled his broad, she told me keep quiet, I keep it peezy (I keep it peezy)
Secrecy in relationships, keeping things discreet
Let me rip the clothes off her body, the season Yeezy (season)
Expressing intimacy and style
She looked me in my eyes and said, "Boy, you a different species" (big deal)
Being unique, possibly referencing fame or success
You boys tryin' too hard (too hard), it's in me, not on me (nah)
Reiteration of others trying too hard
Ism is (rididulous) niggas tryna clone me (they trippin')
Reiteration of individualism and criticism of imitation
Only got brothers (brothers), I don't got homies (at all)
Reiteration of close relationships with brothers
Spot her from a mile(mile), take his tenderoni (huh)
Repetition of spotting someone's partner
They ain't used to that (ay), made him stupid mad (ay)
Repetition of causing envy and being different
Out the Porsche in some Dior (ay), in my stupid bag (bag)
Repetition of stepping out confidently
We don't do the tag (tag), black card or do it cash (yeah)
Repetition of non-traditional payment preferences
She say she love the way I live (she love it), I call the crib the Cupid pad
Reiteration of positive feedback from a romantic partner
We purchase bottles in the spot (We do), but hold the fireworks (hold it)
Buying bottles without the need for fireworks
I don't need to club to know what my attire worth
Value of attire independent of club scenes
Or no chick to set the scene 'cause I ain't buyin' skirt (I'm not)
Disinterest in superficiality and materialism in relationships
Slide like a gentleman if I desire her (if I desire her)
Approaching romantic interests with respect and class
I move right, I let the instincts drive (skrrt)
Guided by instincts in decision-making
Then we goin' bye-bye-bye on my N*Sync vibe (bye, bye, bye)
Playful reference to N*Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" and departure
After club pool parties, skinny dip, she dive (she dive)
Post-club activities involving spontaneity
Get the Henny, take a sip and it's lit, we live
Enjoying a drink and living in the moment
You boys tryin' too hard (too hard), it's in me, not on me (nah)
Reiteration of others trying too hard
Ism is (rididulous) Niggas tryna clone me (they trippin')
Reiteration of individualism and criticism of imitation
Only got brothers (brothers), I don't got homies (at all)
Reiteration of close relationships with brothers
Spot her from a mile (mile), take his tenderoni (huh)
Repetition of spotting someone's partner
They ain't used to that (ay), made him stupid mad (ay)
Repetition of causing envy and being different
Out the Porsche in some Dior (ay), in my stupid bag (bag)
Repetition of stepping out confidently
We don't do the tag (tag), black card or do it cash (yeah)
Repetition of non-traditional payment preferences
She say she love the way I live (she love it)
Reiteration of positive feedback from a romantic partner
I call the crib the Cupid pad
Final mention of the Cupid Pad
