Automatic
Agent K & J-Break Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggaz really scared to shoot
A nigga embarrassed so he gotta catch a body
Cause he feeling like now he got something to prove
So you know it's automatic any nigga got static gon have it
Ain't no stopping em from getting you
You could run to ya mami if you wanna
If you wanna drop da addy and I show her how a nigga do
And even tho I'm handsome ladies feel a man
I still microwave a nigga in a silver pan
Watch his fat popping like some bacon but I'm not fan
Naw I'm not a fan
Watch his fat popping like some bacon but I'm not a fan
And even as a young hitta for the man
Got most of my game from the Taliban
Hopping out them helicopters dipping in da caravan
Burn pits over seas, no promised land
Promising my momma that we soon have our time again
And I'ma make it to the day so I gotta plan
Just imagine state of mind that mine was in
Middle East Kandahar Afghanistan
Yea middle East Kandahar Afghanistan
The lyrics to Agent K & J-Break's song "Automatic" delve into the notion of masculinity and violence within certain communities. The first line states that many people talk about being tough but don't actually act on their words. The second line specifically speaks to the fear of violence and how some people are too scared to shoot. However, the third line jumps to the opposite end of this spectrum, describing someone who is so embarrassed that they haven't been violent that they feel they have to catch a body (commit a murder) to prove themselves. The chorus then speaks to the inevitability of violence when there is conflict, stating that any person who has a problem with someone else will automatically escalate to violence.
The second verse provides some context for the perspective of the song, mentioning the Taliban and being deployed overseas. The lines "Hopping out them helicopters dipping in da caravan / Burn pits over seas, no promised land" refer to the reality of war and the challenging circumstances soldiers face. The last line "Middle East Kandahar Afghanistan" explicitly names the location where the singer was deployed. This information adds a layer of complexity to the song, as it raises questions about the roots of violence and toxic masculinity in different contexts.
Overall, "Automatic" is a hard-hitting song that takes on difficult topics related to violence and masculinity. The lyrics offer an honest portrayal of the fear and pressure that can lead some people to engage in violent behavior.
