Hey you, tek a good look

The lyrics of Demarco's song 'Good Book' speak to a sense of self-confidence and independence that is built through success with women, financial well-being, and a refusal to conform to societal expectations. Demarco declares that his name is in "the good book" - a biblical reference to a record of those who will go to heaven - indicating that his life is headed in the right direction. He rejects the opinions of others about his appearance, asserting that only women's approval matters. He describes himself and his friends as being sexually successful, drinking independently, and being fiercely loyal to each other. He also makes references to gun violence in his community, suggesting that he and his friends are not to be messed with.
The lyrics of the song are indicative of a larger cultural trend in Jamaican dancehall music, which often celebrates elements of 'rude boy' culture - the style and attitude of men who reject mainstream society's authority and embrace a sense of rebellious independence. In its celebration of sexual conquest, financial independence, and toughness, the song seems to position Demarco and his friends as alpha males who have succeeded on their own terms.
