The meaning of the lyrics of the song "King of the Fall" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

In "King of the Fall", The Weeknd paints a picture of a successful yet deeply flawed artist, reveling in his status and power over others. He openly boasts about drug abuse ("Adderall and its additives", "mixed it with 'Texas'", "gamma diet"), promiscuity ("My jaw hurt... Then I'm jetting off with my girl on the team. Got another girl waiting right at home, didn't invite her"), and extravagant lifestyle ("We used to run the streets, now we push whips like we the conquerors", "my rides be private, my flights be private").

He compares himself to the "King of the Fall", perhaps implying that like autumn replacing summer, his rise inevitably overshadows other artists ("'Fall' come every year, man, that's every year. I be on my birthday

[Verse 1:]

I'm addied up, added up

I just ate a plate for breakfast

Put it in a cup, then I mix it up with Texas

Chest feeling heavy like a midget on my necklace

Bitches that we came with got all of your bitches jealous

'Bout to leave the crib with a couple of my pirates

Driving by the streets we used to walk through like a triumph

Mix it in a potion like a science

That liquid G diet got a nga so quiet

Cause the shit so strong, got me feeling like I'm dying

The shit so raw, nothing else can get me higher

Only time you see me's when I'm balling with my ngas

Cause my life too private, my ride too private

My flight too private, my shows so riot

My jaw so tired, I go all night in my city to the fall

Then it's time for me to fly her

I got a girl at home even though she ain't invited

[Hook:]

And she gon' give it up cause she know I might like it [4x]

Baby girl, you know what I like

Maybe you know just what I like

Baby, you know what I like...

[Verse 2:]

Don't be mad, let her get hers

Don't be mad, let her get hers

She make her own luck

She don't give a fuck

She trying to have fun

Take a break from the love

Man, your girl so bad, let me get her

Your girl so bad, let me get her

I make my own luck, I make that pussy talk

On call to the fall, he can like it or not

Nga, back the fuck up

If you ain't with me, motherfucker, you against me

If you ain't complimenting, nga, you offending

I been out here last year wasting hella time

XO is the only time invested

Them Fall shows every year like a birthday

And I'mma do it every year in my birthplace

And I ain't been this gone since Thursday

I never said that I'd be sober in the first place

[Hook:]

And she gon' give it up cause she know I might like it [4x]

Baby girl, you know what I like

Maybe you know just what I like

Baby, you know what I like...

[Verse 3:]

Baby girl, you know what I like

Maybe you know just what I like

Baby, you know what I like...

I just passed that "nga fell off" stage

I just sold out the O2 at my own pace

I can say that I'm attached to nobody

I been getting paper while these ngas tryna stop me

Shout my nga Doc, that's a mentor

Had some bad business, nothing personal

But now the word out that we back on

Some young Quincy Jones, dark skin Michael Jackson

And these the motherfuckers that they packaged

Their new shit all be sounding like my past shit

Bring your girl to my show, give her floor seats

Then she go downtown like she owe me

XO, XO, XO, mix it up, pour it up, take it down slow

This is my sound, nga, fuck your sound

Did it from the ground, ask around, bitch

When I touch down, I'ma shake shit up

Fuck your new man, I'ma break it up

He can come back when I go on the road

But that pussy mine for the next three months

‘Cause the kid back, kid back, kid back

Cop ten whips for my ngas when we land

Queen Street, nga, making money overseas

Had a few more debts, I'ma pay it all in cash

Shout out XO, shout out to "The Boy" broke bread on tour

Man, it's all love now

Shout my nga Stix, doing good in these streets

Bet he popping more bottles than us right now

Reason why they stressing, city never sunny

When the kid come through with more ngas than Apollo

But ain't shit funny, can't nobody stop me

All my hoes are trained, I make all of them swallow

[4x:]

All of them swallow [3x]

I make all of them swallow
