Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Check it,
I represent South African culture.
In this place you get a lot of different things:
Blacks,
Whites,
Coloured,
English,
Afrikaans,
Xhosa,

watookal.

I'm like all these different things,
all these different people,
fucked into one person.

Whatever man.

Overall Meaning

In Die Antwoord's song Whatever Man, the band's rapper, Ninja, begins the verse by introducing himself as someone who represents South African culture. He then goes on to mention a diverse range of racial and linguistic groups in the country, including Blacks, Whites, Coloured, English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, and Zulu. He refers to these groups as "all these different things" and "all these different people" who are essentially fused together in his own identity. The line "fucked into one person" implies the complex and dynamic nature of his cultural background, as well as his pride in being multi-faceted despite any surrounding societal judgments or stereotypes.
