Limp Bizkit Think They're Black But They're Just Gay
Anal Cunt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fred Durst is a fucking faggot
He thinks he's black, but he's just gay
He cancelled a show cuz he sprained his ankle
He's also a fucking midget

[Chorus:]
You're not fucking black, you're just fucking gay (x2)
You're fucking gay

The guitarist wears a mask
To hide the cum stains on his face
They're the gayest band I've ever seen
And I've seen the Culture Club live

[Chorus]

Fred wears a hat to hide his baldness
I refuse to believe blacks think he's cool
I wish he'd beaten and raped by some black guy
And see if he still wants to be black

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anal Cunt's song Limp Bizkit Think They're Black, but They're Just Gay refer to the frontman of the nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst, who the lyricist believes is trying to emulate black culture but is failing miserably. The song is written in a confrontational and aggressive manner, with insults hurled at Durst and his bandmates. The lyrics state that Durst is a "fucking faggot" and implies that he is attempting to appropriate black culture by wearing clothing and accessories that are associated with the hip-hop scene.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "You're not fucking black, you're just fucking gay", emphasizing the idea that Durst is neither cool nor authentic in his attempts to emulate hip-hop culture. The lyrics also make references to Durst's physical appearance, including his short stature, baldness, and alleged need to wear a hat to hide his lack of hair. The guitarist of the band is also targeted in the lyrics, with a claim that he wears a mask to hide cum stains on his face.

This song is an example of the confrontational nature of some forms of punk rock and heavy metal, where bands use aggressive and insulting language to attack other musicians or groups that they dislike. The song also highlights the tension between the worlds of heavy metal and hip-hop, which were often seen as opposing genres in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
