Jewels & Drugs
Lady Gaga · Other Songs - Lady Gaga
Still bank here, shawty, yeah you know what it is
Pockets full of number of bands and bills
Came up around that standard wheel
Was finna do a deal about 60 mill
You ain't live that life, you perputrating
You wasn't really trapping circling birds of yay
You ain't have to beat no murder case
Man, you probably couldn't get a ho any day
'Round my way can't get murder planned
Ain't no hoop, play dirty, man
Put some through your jersey, man
Your partner won't show we can do it again
Okay, H-U-S-T-L-E G-A-N-G, yeah wait
Yeah, pull up, pull up, hop out, hop out
All about the dollar, better go ahead, Gaga,
[Lady Gaga]:
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your money, want your love
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your money, want your love
I admit that my habit is expensive
And you may find it, quite offensive
But I won't die at the hands of another
I'm your mother, sister, father, brother
This family is stupid attractive
And you have seen [?] the way we've acted
Keep it coming, I'm coming around like your friend now
I think you should, shut up and sit down
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your money, want your love
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your jewels, I want your drugs
Don't want your money, want your love
[Too Short]:
Ey, everybody about that money, what she want?
I'm high as hell trying to have some fucking fun
I don't need 'em, but the diamonds make it shine
Trying to quit it, but I can't find the time
It's the middle of the week, this ain't even the weekend
Red carpet event, every time you sink in
It's good pussy in the passenger's set
My little homies hang with me cause I be passing their friends
Bitch!
[Lady Gaga]:
Jewels and drugs, baby, hustle
Smother it up if you want to be bad
Slap honey on your pancake
We know how to make a lot of money
Jewels and drugs, baby, hustle
Smother it up if you want to be bad
Ain't nothing if it ain't family
We know how to make a lot of money
[Lady Gaga]:
Jewels and drugs, baby, hustle
Smother it up if you want to be bad
Slap honey on your pancake
We know how to make a lot of money
Jewels and drugs, baby, hustle
Smother it up if you want to be bad
Ain't nothing if it ain't family
We know how to make a lot of money, money
Jewels & Drugs
Lady Gaga's "Jewels & Drugs" stands as a poignant exploration of the duality between glamour and substance, reflecting themes central to her early pop persona. Recorded during the height of her fame, the track captures the intoxicating allure of celebrity life while acknowledging the hidden costs that often accompany it. The song's production blends electronic textures with emotive vocals, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the tension between public adoration and private struggle. As part of her broader discography from that era, the recording serves as a commentary on the modern lifestyle, using metaphor to dissect the relationship between material wealth and emotional dependency. Its enduring relevance lies in its ability to resonate with listeners who have experienced the highs and lows of living under a microscope.
