Dressed To Be Killed
Dressed to Be Killed: A Tale of Fortune's Irony
Lyrics
His garbage can beret
His makeshift hat resembles a beret made from a garbage can.
Was tilted at an angle
The beret on his head is slanted or crooked.
What looked like a smile
Initially appeared as a smile, but it's actually a mango fruit.
Turned out to be a mango
The impression of a smile turns out to be a piece of fruit.
He's got raw meat
There's uncooked meat hanging from his eyeglasses.
Dangling from his glasses
He is prepared and determined tonight to confront or defeat others.
Tonight is the night
It's a significant evening for him.
He's going to kick their asses
He intends to defeat or overpower them.
He's broke, he's ugly, and unskilled
He lacks money, attractiveness, and abilities.
And he's dressed to be killed
Despite his disadvantages, he's dressed in a way that invites trouble or danger.
(Gratuitous rap)
A rap verse added for effect or emphasis without direct narrative content.
He's broke, he's ugly, and unskilled
Reiteration of his unfavorable situation.
And he's dressed to be killed
Repeating the idea of being dressed for a fatal encounter despite adversity.
His luck is gonna change
He believes his luck will change, evidenced by finding an extremely rare clover.
He found a one-leaf clover
A very rare variation of a four-leaf clover that typically symbolizes good luck.
His fortune cookie said
A message received from a fortune cookie, indicating despair or hopelessness.
"What's the point, your life is over"
The message implies his life lacks purpose or meaning.
He must be nuts
He might be crazy or irrational.
There's a bullseye on his back
He is an easy target for criticism, attack, or danger.
He's standing at ground zero
He is at the epicenter of a dangerous or disastrous situation.
Of a nuclear attack
Metaphorically placed in a highly threatening or catastrophic scenario.
He's broke, he's ugly, and unskilled
Restating his unfortunate circumstances.
And he's dressed to be killed
Despite his shortcomings, he is inviting trouble or aggression through his attire or demeanor.
