Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm yer peer! Don't cha get it?
I'm yer peer, or else forget it!
I'm yer peer don't be a jerk off.
I'm yer peer won't take my clothes off?
For YOU!
You got a sound check..well SO DO I !!
You say ya wanna party but I don't get high!
I'm yer peer, or else forget it!
I'm yer peer don't be a jerk off.
I'm yer peer won't take my clothes off?
For YOU!
You got a sound check..well SO DO I !!
You say ya wanna party but I don't get high!
You try to cop a field, Don't ?even try.
Let me explain it to you DUDE!,
And I don't lie
I'm not trying to say I'm a goodie tuu too
Don't think I wouldn't be ready for you
But load outs in a hour, what ya think I'm gunna do?
Grab my tit one more time and I'm gunna beat on you!
What's the matter boy never met a gurll who rocked??!
The girls you usually meet are a very eager lot
Why can't you face the fact that I'm one of the boys
It's these others in the front row for who I save my toys




Not for you! or the crew, or the fucking record dudes!
Grab my tit one more time and I'm gunna beat on you!!!

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Yer Peer" by Bif Naked is a feminist anthem that addresses issues of sexism and misogyny within the music industry. The lyrics begin by asserting the singer's equal status as a peer to their male counterparts, and admonishing anyone who does not recognize that equality. The line "I'm yer peer, don't be a jerk off" serves as a direct challenge to the assumption that women are inferior to men in this context.


As the song progresses, the singer continues to assert their autonomy and agency in the face of attempted objectification and harassment. The lines "I'm yer peer won't take my clothes off?" and "You try to cop a feel, don't even try" make it clear that the singer will not succumb to pressure to perform sexual acts or tolerate unwanted physical contact.


Ultimately, the song makes clear that the singer's identity as a performer and musician is not contingent on pleasing men or conforming to traditional gender roles. The chorus ("You got a sound check, well so do I!") symbolizes the singer's equal status within the industry and her refusal to be diminished or undermined by sexism.
