Mar-A-Lago Lyrics – Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist

Mar-A-Lago Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Freddie Gibbs]
He’s setting the tone here with confidence and attitude. He sounds hyped, like he’s in a zone and ready for whatever comes his way. Mentioning the Escalade shows he’s living large. And the repeated line is like a warning—he told people not to mess with him, and now they’re gonna see the consequences for ignoring that.

[Chorus: Freddie Gibbs]
Here, he’s talking about being a boss—someone in charge and respected in the streets. He name-drops someone he looks up to and uses titles like B-O-N and D-O-N to flex his status. The feds are watching him again, showing he’s always under pressure. All-black cars show power and unity, and “served that C” hints at being back in the drug game.

[Verse: Freddie Gibbs]
He kicks it off by talking about staying ready for violence and settling scores, showing he doesn’t forget disloyalty. Even if things could be smoothed over later, he admits he’s lying—he’s not giving any second chances. He’s dangerous and unpredictable, even joking about throwing grenades, showing he’s not playing games. He’s cold-hearted but still wild, ready to blow up when provoked.

Then he shifts into flex mode—spending his summer with women who’ve had surgery, living a flashy lifestyle. He calls out fake people who talk big but can’t back it up. When the truth hits them, he doesn’t care—he’s ready to humiliate them. He compares his slick moves with legendary basketball passes, showing he moves smart and confidently. Even though he’s had some close calls, he’s still standing strong and respected.

Then he gets explicit—talking about women he slept with and kicking them out when done. He jokes about giving jewelry and flexes on being selective—he won’t mess with someone unless they’ve got their life together. He clowns women who chase attention online and only offer s*x in return. It’s crude but part of how he shows power and control.

He keeps it going by saying he’s running through a whole friend group, calling them “Three Amigos,” and referencing his roots and street background. From fashion to fast cars to ducking the feds, he ends the verse by saying they raided him but found nothing. He’s still untouchable, living big like he’s in Mar-a-Lago, a place known for wealth and exclusivity.

[Chorus: Freddie Gibbs]
Once again, he repeats the boss talk. He and his people are the top dogs. He brings up the feds still lurking, like he’s always under surveillance. The all-black vehicles are back, showing unity and force. And he’s right back in the street game, selling drügs again, showing nothing’s changed.

[Outro: Freddie Gibbs]
At this point, he’s heated and talking directly to someone who crossed him. He mentions getting rid of “this thing”—likely trouble, a person, or a problem. He says he tried to do right and be a better man, but dudes like this keep pushing him back into his old ways. He calls out how people bait him, knowing he’s already at risk with prior charges. It’s like they want him to crash out and get locked up for good. He’s refusing to let that happen though, pushing back and demanding to know what’s really going on. The tone is raw and frustrated—he’s sick of the games and ready to handle it however it needs to be handled.
