Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar)
Why you actin' like you know me
I don't even know who you are
(I don't know who you are, I don't know who you are)
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
I said "Look at all this jewellery"
She said "That shit is new to me"
I think I took this way too far (Yeah, way too far)
I can never go back to who I was (I can't go)
She can never go back to who I am (She cannot know)
Lately, I've been fuckin' with like hella drugs
If I die, it's okay, it's all in the plan
I don't know who I have become
Lately, I've been stressing that I'm gonna die young
That's what they expect of me
Crazy motherfucker off the ecstasy
You know my persona, baby
You don't know me
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar)
Why you actin' like you know me
I don't even know who you are
(I don't know who you are, I don't know who you are)
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar)
I said "Look at all this jewellery"
She said "That shit is new to me"
I think I took this way too far (Yeah, way too far)
And I've been on my way
Not tryna make amends
I got these diamonds on my neck
Not tryna make new friends
I'm finna fade away
I'm over you
Can't imagine what I'm going through
Feel her heart going "knock knock"
When she's around me
She always blush when she come my way
Think she the one
But she ain't waiting for me
Save her for me, Lord, I pray
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar)
Why you actin' like you know me
I don't even know who you are
(No, no, no)
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar)
Why you actin' like you know me
I don't even know who you are
(I don't know who you are, yeah, yeah)
It's like, I walk in, jaws drop
She ain't never seen a rockstar
(She ain't never seen a rockstar, no)
I said "Look at all this jewellery"
She said "That shit is new to me"
I think I took this way too far
(Think I took it way too far)
Yeah, way too far
(Nigga, way too far)
The lyrics of D.O.J.O.'s song Rockstar are a commentary on the fake personas that people put on in order to become successful or popular. The song begins with the lines "Banyak tak real dorang fake it / I can see you through macam plastic," which mean that many people are not authentic and are simply pretending to be someone they're not. The chorus repeats this sentiment, pointing out that people's fake personas are transparent and can be seen through like plastic.
The second part of the song talks about the dream of becoming a rockstar and the hard work that goes into it. It mentions the influence of parents, such as a mother's prayers, on someone's journey to success. The lines "Mimpi bangun rockstar itu basic / Tab talk superstar macam elvis" mean that dreaming of becoming a rockstar is a basic aspiration, and that people talk about being a superstar like Elvis Presley.
The song then shifts to calling out other rappers who are not authentic and are only in the game for fame and fortune. The lines "Yang married to the game it's ashame / We've been knowing her since the start since tunang / Bitches merisik orang dalam / Keluar padam dekat luar panas seh" are a commentary on the rap game, where artists marry themselves to the lifestyle and fame that comes with it. The song ends with a warning to those who talk big but don't follow through on their promises.

Banyak tak real dorang fake it
Many people are not genuine, they just pretend
I can see you through macam plastic
I can clearly see through your pretence
Mimpi bangun rockstar itu basic
Dreaming of becoming a rockstar is an easy thing to do
Tab talk superstar macam elvis
People talk as if they are superstars like Elvis
Doa ibu bawak keluar
Mother's prayers bring success
Orang dalam now nak keluar
People from the inside now want to come out
Dah nampak telus straight talk
I can see honesty and truth in straight talk
Gelas muka pecah boleh pamit ku cakap tulus yeah
I can't hold back my sincerity and truthfulness
Bukan kongsi gelap shine sangat terang
It's not a secret society, it's shining so bright
Dah terang kat lu lit kunang-kunang
It's so bright, it looks like fireflies are lit up
Yang married to the game it's ashame
Those who are too committed to the game, it's a shame
We've been knowing her since the start since tunang
We've known her since the beginning, like an engagement
Bitches merisik orang dalam
Women are investigating people from the inside
Keluar padam dekat luar panas seh
They come out and get burnt outside
Muka merah padam cause I see
Their face blushes because I can see right through them
MC fake aku bake
I roast fake MCs
Macam roti itali
Like an Italian bread
370 Fahren lepas sapu butter with garlic
Baked at 370 degrees Fahrenheit with garlic butter brush
Wait TING dah siap dari isi sampai kulit
Wait, TING is ready from the inside to the outside
Resepi sulit membukit
The recipe is complex and difficult
Every spit orbit aku lit
Every rap verse I make is lit
Dalam track tinggal blakang MC whack
On the track, other MCs are left behind, they don't match up
Tabiat korang kejap korang tak boleh kejar
Your habits, one minute you're there, the next you can't keep up
Takyah mimpi kalau kadar acah seribu daya
Don't dream about it if all you pretend is a thousand forces
Finish line rajin tapi dalih jadi budaya
You finish the line but excuses become your culture
Pull up with the gang if kau banyak sangat talk
If you talk too much, come along with the gang
Awan mendung trap kroni turn up macam layan pop
The cloudy sky traps the homies, they turn up like pop
Gambar legend tapi muka-muka korang kena crop
Your picture may be legendary, but your faces have to be cropped out
Bikin panas bakar line macam aku punya blok
Creating heat and burning lines like it's my block
Oh my god
Oh my god!
Alamak
Oh no!
Budak borak buat lagu macam nak taknak
A chatty kid made a song, like he didn't want to
Cam bapak bagi korang rasa nak taknak
Like a father, making you feel like it or not
