The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Honey Brown" by the artist "Yelawolf"

Contents

In "Honey Brown", Yelawolf reflects on his life, growing up in a rough environment and the importance of staying true to his roots. He talks about his childhood, where drug dealing was commonplace ("even my momma was slinging dope"), early exposure to alcohol ("I could get a beer buzz at five"), and the constant struggle for survival.

Yelawolf doesn't romanticize crime, but portrays it as a harsh reality he had to face. He emphasizes the importance of hard work ("We work hard, ain't got time to sleep"), supporting family ("You gotta feed your kids, for beats sake"), and respecting those who live honestly ("Much love to the ones livin' on the edge of the knife").

The image of "Honey Brown" (a bottle of whiskey) is a metaphor for simple pleasure and the opportunity to relax after a hard day. He shares this moment with his loved ones ("I wanna share a drink with the whole wide world. With my girl"), showing the importance of loyalty and friendship.

At the end of the song, Yelawolf addresses rappers who have forgotten their roots and are chasing easy fame and money. He urges them to remain honest in their work ("Learn to write a song, man, quit bein' mad") and remember that true success is built on talent, not fake and hypocrisy.

[Verse 1]

See, all my life I've been friends with thugs

I never did judge cause my momma sold drugs

By the age of 5 I could hold a beer buzz

All I wanna do is show love to my boys

In the '88 Crown Vic, Rolling deep

Working so hard cause they can't, go to sleep

Got the same clothes that you rock, for three days

Hitting traps like a prophet, for beats sake

To the single mothers in the kitchen still cooking

No job open but shes out, still looking

If you don't, who the fuck will?

Not daddy, cause that mothafucka's not here

So stop askin' for the pennies and the hand-me-outs

You gotta look at life and get it without any doubts

Only a coward has to rob and pull a Semi out

Just to open the garage and pull a Hemi out, think big

[Hook]

I crack the top and pour the fifth out

I wanna run around the whole wide world

Just me and my girl (Just me and my bitch)

I got a cup full of that Honey Brown

I wanna drank it with the whole wide world

Just me and my girl (Just me and my bitch)

[Verse 2]

All my life I've been friends with thugs

I never did judge cause my momma sold drugs

By the age of five I could hold a beer buzz

All I wanna do is show love to my boys

Rocking Mossy Oak, big trucks, lift kits

Waking up before the sun rise, gettin' it

You got them babies that you gotta feed, for christ sake

Put them eighteen wheels on the, highway

I'mma do it for the country bucks, fuckin' right

Got a problem with somebody then, fuckin' fight

Don't be a pussy, homie win some, lose some

Just make sure you make it to the house when it's done

Respect all lives in the hollow tip

Pride will get you killed, better learn how to swallow it

To the rappers on the planet out dreaming

Learn how to write a record, homie stop steaming

Nobody cares about you pocket's with no mics on

Don't be blind to yourself they might gon' be a pipe bomb

Fake shit it's like snail to the salt

In the nail to a coffin, somebody turn the lights on

[Hook X2]
