I'm The Boss
Big Bad Bosses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, alright.
Maybe you've heard about me.
All in the news today.
Im kind of legendary in the most destructive way.
I have a secret hideout.
I've got those fancy swords.
I've got a bone to pick with all generic demon lords.
Open a dictionary.
Turn it to mastermind.
You'll see a picture of me with my other bro's in line.
I'll burn your village and I, won't even look behind.
I may not be kind.
(You know why.)

I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
And just in case I didn't get my point across.
I'm the boss.

Of a whole 'nother castle.
Aint no princess inside.
Aint nobody ganna come and find me.
I've got mad reptilian pride.
If you wanna step in my kingdom.
I've got a real nice surprise.
Aint nobody see me coming
Even if you got special eyes!

Even if they get the run up on me.
I got tricks, and traps, and bait.
If you got big plans for later.
Better tell that you'll be late.
I've got a personal private army.
Made up of a bunch of mice
And rabbit's and foxes.
Now isnt that so very nice.

Why must I sit here, and explain how we're going to take control.
Everybody around me, gets thrown apon the ground.
Cuz we don't mess around.

I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
And just in case I didn't get my point across.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
And just in case I didn't get my point across.

Will sombody put out that racket?
If there's trouble your bout' to attract it.
G-Cash my moves are so practiced.
Like a phantom watch while i smash this.
Fly honeys to my room like its tragic.
Dont make waves silence it's magic.
(If there is a fever ima damn well catch it.)
(If there is a record ima damn well smash it.)

Yo, check out my mad flows.
Not this minion, ginger-bread corn rows.
Everyone here knows im the nero.
Stop one, two, three, four, hero's.

Ronik dont even need to step.
I engineer beats like Imhotep.
Players run when they see me on the mic check.
Ive got spikes that'll make a dudes life wreck.

Hey ladies, i'm Sephy.
Gimme your digits phone getting heavy.
I'll pick it up and see what we start.
I might just break your heart.
Ain't ever easy, being sleezy, but I get by.
I'm in my element when I make a baby cry.
If you ever try to cross me, there'll be hell to pay.
So stay out of my way.
You know what? Dont, cuz

I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
And just in case I didn't get my point across.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
And just in case I didn't get my point across.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
I'm very very sorry for your loss.
I'm the boss. I'm the boss.




And just in case I didn't get my point across.
I'm the boss.

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm the Boss" by Big Bad Bosses is a parody of the attitude and persona of a boss in a video game, specifically in a fantasy setting. The lyrics describe the singer's arrogance and power, boasting about their secret hideout, fancy swords, and supposed leadership over a private army of small creatures. They also threaten to burn villages and take control, while acknowledging that they may not be kind. The chorus repeats the claim of being "the boss" and apologizes for any losses that may result from their actions.


The lyrics of this song demonstrate a satirical take on the archetype of a boss in video games, who is often depicted as powerful and dominant. The singer uses over-the-top language to describe their own abilities and resources, highlighting the absurdity of such characters. Additionally, the use of repetitive, simplistic language in the chorus helps to further highlight the lack of depth and nuance in the character being portrayed. Overall, the song presents a humorous commentary on the nature of video game bosses, and by extension, the nature of power and control in society.
