Die Antwoord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you mean something like this?
Yeah, that's perf, Yo-Landi, do that thing
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oo oh
When I'm on the mic it's like murder murder murder!
Kill kill kill!
Wat se Suid-Afrika?
Suig my fokken piel
Hier kom ek weer
Like a lekker a smack in the face
Rappers are fokking pouring into passenger planes
What happened to all the cool rappers from back in the day?
Now all these rappers sound exactly the same
It's like one big inbred fuck-fest
Sies
No, I do not want to stop, collaborate or listen
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy hold on to your ching
I'm takin' over America, blowin' up everything
Physically fit, the Ninja very energetic
If you haven't got it by now, then you're never gonna get it
I whip my dick out and piss on all the hard-up 'n fokken rap
Got an offshore account for dollar bills in a stack
Fuck rap
I'm siding with China we not fokken related
Like a methfest, like the first time I ejaculated
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh
Hi! My name is Yo-Landi fuckin' Visser
Fight fight fight!
Kick you in the teeth, hit you on the head with the mic
There's a rumble in the jungle I'm (something) to beat em
Not looking for trouble but trouble's looking for me
M'uppercuts're fokken swollen with nothing just come for free
I used to think I'd always kill this to hustle something to eat
South Africa used to be a twangy'd, (y'know dat's me)
Suddenly you're interested 'cos we're blowing up overseas
Make you money money money
Yes yes yes
Zef side represent
You're fuckin' with the best
I'm a upper
Twangies get buffed like a sucka
Bokka Bokka
Yippie-ki-yay motherfucker!
I'm a big deal (wiv de seen my niggas rollin' me)?
Now I'm having so much fun I can't even go to sleep
Yo-Landi!
What?
Where you at?
Here I am!
Spitting fokken lyrics like bam bam bam!
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh
We keep it lekker lekker lekker, zef zef zef
Spend all my fuckin' money til' there's nothing left
I'm a fat cat, keep the change I don't need the slip
With this fat sack of dagga I'm smoking a spliff
In my mat blacks are bottle-haters throwing a fit
Round the corner gooi'n fokken spiff Tokyo drift
My daddy told me there's a lot of fish in the sea
There's just a lotta motherfuckin' money bitches and weed
Ja, dagga dagga dagga, puff puff puff
Bring the beat back Hi-Tek!
Make it rough
We drop the type of beats that make you shut the fuck up and dance
We drop the type of beats so good you're fuckin' stuck in a trance
In the overseas they like to say you're stuck in a trance
We drop the type of beats that make you fuckin' cum in your pants
Pass it to left, like a zef, to the east, to the motherfucken left
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh
Eh Fatty Boom Boom
Hit me with the Ching-ching
Not fokken thinking, dolla eye twinkling
Just a bit of junkie
Let's not get too funky
Oh oh oh oh

The lyrics to Die Antwoord's "Fatty Boom Boom" are rife with political and social commentary. The song is a scathing indictment of the mainstream music industry, which the band sees as filled with uninspiring and derivative artists. The opening lyrics are a taunt to other producers and musicians, daring them to match the song's unique and innovative sound. Yo-Landi, the female vocalist, continues by describing herself as a bit of a junkie and saying she doesn't want to get too funky. This could be interpreted as a nod to the electronic and hip-hop influences that make the song so unique.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that Die Antwoord is angry at the state of hip-hop music in the present day. They rail against the repetitiveness and the lack of originality that they believe is rampant in the industry. This can be heard in the lines "Rappers are fokking pouring into passenger planes / What happened to all the cool rappers from back in the day? / Now all these rappers sound exactly the same." In addition to their disdain for the state of the music industry, the band also takes aim at the political and social issues facing South Africa (their home country) and the world. They criticize the immense wealth disparity that exists between rich and poor, and they also question the U.S.'s relationship with China.
Overall, "Fatty Boom Boom" is a provocative, in-your-face track that challenges the status quo and defies easy classification. It makes no apologies for its rebellious sound and its sometimes controversial lyrics, but it also contains a deeper message about the need for originality and creativity in the music industry.

I feel like they decided to go that way solely for marketing. Many artists who do solo shows also agree to open for others, to be offended by that would be stupid.
