BOY DANGEROUS
Boy Dangerous: A Journey Through Fame, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
Who knew we could blow up and be famous
Reflecting on unexpected fame and success.
Who knew we could get so faded
Exploring the experience of getting intoxicated.
Off a bottle of Ciroc then the waitress
Getting intoxicated with Ciroc, catching the attention of the waitress.
Started calling me Boy Dangerous
Being nicknamed "Boy Dangerous" by the waitress.
She said do you got a girl Boy Dangerous
The waitress inquires about a romantic relationship.
Can I see the Benz with the facelift
Interest in showing off a luxurious car with a facelift (improved appearance).
Gotta girl in every city but she shape shift
Having romantic connections in different cities with a mention of shape-shifting.
She just like the diamonds in my bracelet
Comparing a girl to the diamonds in a bracelet, emphasizing value.
They say
Introduction of conflicting advice or opinions.
Oh no no don't do-si-do though
Resisting conformity and expressing a desire to explore the world.
But he wanna see the world of course he gon go
The willingness to travel and experience life.
Course he gone blow and of course he won't show
Expectation of success but reluctance to share personal moments.
To his family's birthdays the weddings the whole roll
Acknowledging the sacrifice of missing family events for success.
Yeah I said a couple things I can't take back
Regret over words spoken and irreversible actions.
I lost some old friends that's from way back
Lamenting the loss of old friendships.
Now you can find my soul in an 8-track
Symbolizing a search for identity in old-fashioned music (8-track).
She said baby don't forget me but I hate that
Expressing a conflicted feeling about a past relationship.
So now I spend my summers in Seattle
Choosing to spend time in Seattle during the summers.
Love laugh live baby whys it such a battle
Reflecting on the challenges of love, laughter, and life.
And when I'm in my feelings don't start
Requesting understanding during emotional moments.
Am I just another broken heart
Questioning if one is just another person with a broken heart.
All these compliments got me gassed up
Feeling inflated by compliments.
See myself broken in the mirror and that's bad luck
Noticing a broken self-image in the mirror as bad luck.
Rain rain
Using rain as a metaphor for temporary relief from challenges.
Go away go away
-Come back another day no we could never stay
-Who knew we could blow up and be famous
Reiteration of themes related to fame, intoxication, and romantic encounters.
Who knew we could get so faded
-Off a bottle of Ciroc then the waitress
-Started calling me Boy Dangerous
-She said do you got a girl Boy Dangerous
-Can I see the Benz with the facelift
-Gotta girl in every city but she shape shift
-She just like the diamonds in my bracelet
-I said Momma
Addressing a figure (Momma) and acknowledging personal responsibility.
A monster made me do it
Attributing actions to an inner struggle and commitment.
I gotta stick to it now I'm really going thru it
Expressing the difficulty of the current situation.
Lost soul where to go where to go
Questioning where to find direction in a nomadic lifestyle.
Always on the road don't know where to call home
Highlighting a constant state of being on the road.
But snakes and hoes never broke my bones
Asserting resilience against negativity.
Tryna blow my phone I'm in airplane mode
Rejecting unwanted communication with an airplane mode reference.
Now I got a crib with more bedrooms than friends
Indicating material success with a larger home and transactional relationships.
Ask me to dance need my cash in advance
-Had my hands in her pants with the bags in the bank
-They ask bout my past but I'm passin' no thanks
Avoiding discussing the past, perhaps due to painful memories.
If you ain't one of mine I ain't passing no dranks
Being selective about sharing experiences and not offering drinks.
I'm gassin' no breaks
Emphasizing continuous effort and determination.
Breaking bread with no snakes
Embracing a loyal circle without deceit.
I'm all about my fam need a hundred grandpas
Prioritizing family and financial stability.
Now my life a beach left my haters in a sandbox
Using a beach metaphor for a carefree life, leaving negativity behind.
I invest it all that's the damn cost
Acknowledging the cost of investing in one's dreams.
So if I cut you out my life that's your damn loss
Cutting ties with individuals for personal growth.
Who knew we could blow up and be famous
Reiteration of the central themes in the song.
Who knew we could get so faded
-Off a bottle of Ciroc then the waitress
-Started calling me Boy Dangerous
-She said do you got a girl Boy Dangerous
-Can I see the Benz with the facelift
-Gotta girl in every city but she shape shift
-She just like the diamonds in my bracelet
