(DDS)

Let a nigga try me, try me
I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family
And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Let a nigga try me, try me

I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family
And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Bitch, I got the MAC or the .40
Turn a bitch to some macaroni
Tell me how you want it, I'm on it
I really mean it I'm just not recordin'
Give lil' bro the choppa, for all you oppa's
Leave a bitch nigga head in pasta
You are an impostor, ain't got no money
Put the burner to his tummy, and make it bubbly
I really hate niggas I'm a Nazi
Love wearin' all black, you should see my closet
Rock that all white, when I'm feelin' Godly
Hop out like coke, I ain't gotta park it
Fuck is y'all sayin?, bitch, my hood love me
48214 real niggas know me
I been out my mind since they killed my cousin
Free my cousin Devin, man, he just called me
All these niggas love me, can't get 'em off me
Fuck around gave him my number, he won't stop callin'
IBGM be the clique, bitch, you see us scorin'
V.I.P in the club, while yo' section borin'
Got a bitch that set it off like Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah
You rollin' 'round wit' yo' nieces bitch you T.T.
Mind fulla money, got a heart full of demons
Mobbin' like Italians, we really take yo' fingas
Turn yo' face into a pizza, no acne
Have you singin' like Alicia, fuck wit' my family
They be like you little, but got damn she spazzin'
Do the whole crew, my bitches freak nasty

Let a nigga try me, try me
I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family
And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Let a nigga try me, try me
I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family
And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Bitch, I got the Tommy no Hilfiger
Lil Dej ain't 'bout it, bitch, how you figure?
I don't do no drugs, I be off liquor
So lifted, flyer than yo' girl, baby, gon' and take my picture
See I gotta get this money, my palms itchin'
Niggas gossip like hoes, most of 'em bitches
I don't wanna do no songs, I don't wanna kick it
And I ain't signin' to no label, bitch, I'm independent

Let a nigga try me, try me
I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family
And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Let a nigga try me, try me
I'ma get his whole mothafuckin' family

And I ain't playin' wit' nobody
Fuck around and I'ma catch a body

Overall Meaning

Dej Loaf's song "Try Me" is a rap track that tackles the rapper's unabashed aggression and capability to do harm to anyone who attempts to cross her path. In the song, she warns that if anyone tries to mess with her, their whole family will suffer the consequences. She shows off with the lyrics, "Bitch, I got the MAC or the .40 / Turn a bitch to some macaroni / Tell me how you want it, I'm on it". Dej Loaf is incredibly confident in her ability to protect herself and her loved ones, and she has no qualms about taking drastic actions to do so.

The chorus of the song is repeated throughout, with an ominous and threatening tone, showing her clear determination to carry out her promises of violence. The second verse in her song, with the lyrics "Bitch, I got the Tommy no Hilfiger / Lil Dej ain't 'bout it, bitch, how you figure? / I don't do no drugs, I be off liquor", reiterates her aggression and violence, which may be influenced by the fact that she is off of alcohol. She is also proud of her independence and rejects the idea of joining a traditional record label or industry.
