Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're freaking
You're a flipper
Yeah
Whoa, all kinds of shit
(You think you know me)
Weed, crack, and dope
Da-damn, Peggy! (I feel fucking terrible, um)

All I need is rest (throw up)
I am uncontested (nah, don't), how can I confess this?
Watch how I finesse ('bout a hundred bands)
How you so invested? This can't be your best
'Cause, I am not impressed
(I must have fuckin' stanned)
Bullets through my body, I'm a different shawty
You my favorite mess
(Every time I come around, it's like you dump the bands)
Bitch, I'm never pressed, oh

Keep a fresh Bic (eee), ride down 86 (eee), hit!
Roll deep like the ket
Bitch, I'm (smoke)
Too fly in the whip, hit!
Fake news, we ain't pressed
Is it safe now? Got my trey pound
'Case a bitch wanna test, yeet!
(Okay team, follow my command)
Yeet! Work hard
(I'm 'bout to yeet on these niggas!)
Work, work (i feel like I'm about to throw up)
Yeet, yeet
Work hard, twerk hard
Twenty-six, no kids, yeah (tears!)
Talk shit, back it up
No fades, throw shade, whole game a damn mess (yeet)
Ayy, fuck the cappin'
Look, no stress, I'm vexed
What the fuck is my appearance? (What's he sayin'?)
I keep a ratchet (I keep a ratchet)
I like 'em yesjulz moanin' like a actress (damn, that's a-, actress)
Ain't got no standards (nah), I'm kinda passive (right, young)
Rich swann, we gon' cash in (we gon' cash in)
Dust off the ratchets (ratchet, ratchet)
We got some action (they got some ratch)
I'm on the main line (oh!), I'm tryna catch 'em (okay!)

Look, I wish, I wish a nigga would, man
Look, I wish a nigga would try to test me
I wish a nigga would go against me
I'm a thug, I don't play with no rap beef
Fuck around, end up on a backstreet
And I done cried so many times
Look, man
I wish, whoosh, whoosh

I wish a nigga would try to test me
I wish a nigga would go get me
I'm a thug, I don't play with no rap beef
Fuck around, end up on the backstreet
And I done cried so many times
I done did so many crimes (don't kill me)
No time, y'all gassed up for the new line, uh
I'll make a nigga cry at his own pad
I'll make a nigga cry for his dead dad
I'll make a nigga cry for his fat wife
I'll make a nigga cry for-
I'll make a nigga cry for help
I'll make a nigga cry for himself (thug tears!)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in JPEGMAFIA's song "Thug Tears" are both aggressive and reflective. The verses feature a lot of bravado and posturing, with references to drug use and violence, but they also showcase a level of self-awareness and honesty about Peggy's emotional state. He acknowledges feeling terrible and needing rest, even as he brags about his finesse and unimpressed attitude.


The chorus is a declaration of his thug identity and his willingness to confront anyone who tries to test him. At the same time, there's a note of vulnerability as he describes how many times he's cried and done crimes. The final lines are particularly striking, as Peggy claims he could make someone cry for their own self, hinting at the ways in which he might tear down someone's facade and confront them with their own insecurities.


Overall, "Thug Tears" is a complex and multifaceted portrayal of a persona that's both tough and sensitive, confident and insecure. The lyrics suggest that Peggy is both comfortable with this duality and willing to explore all the emotions it brings up.

I'm ruthless and cruel, and I'll make a man cry in his own home, where he's supposed to feel safe and comfortable.

I'll make a man weep for his deceased father, which is a particularly painful and sensitive topic for many people.


I'll make a nigga cry for his fat wife
I'll make a man cry for his overweight wife, which is another deeply personal and hurtful attack.

I'll make someone cry for any reason, no matter how trivial or sadistic it is.
