Wat Kyk Jy
Die Antwoord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is dit net ek, of is als tos?
Is dit net ek? Is-is dit net ek?
Jis jis, ek soek n fancy goose
Maar my sak's plat soos barbie se plastic poes

Wat die fok?
Fok die poes in die Corsa langs ons
Yo Ninja kook n tekkie
Laat ons gly

Drive! Drive fast!
Gly! Gly! Gly! Gly!
Drive fast!
Play kak music loud!

Wat kyk jy? Fokof!
Wat kyk jy? Poes!
Wat kyk jy? Fok jou!
Wat kyk jy? Jou naai!

Ninja rolling in a BMW
Sipping vitamiene B en C
Die brannewyn en coke slat weer n keer
Yo tjek daai sker in die pvc
Hot-pants lekker B.P.P.
'Binne-poes-pienk' aan die moerefokken brand
Net soos hierdie stainless steel
Rap-ster met n groot fokken stywe piel

Yo! Better listen to whatever she says
Ek's down met die moere fokken Wedding DJ's
Pump up the volume! Haal pips uit die zol uit
Hol skud morsig! Laat die fokken jol ruk
Fok die bewe koppe! Yo raas is baas
The richest bitch with the nicest arse
Oppie mikrofoon yo uh! Moerefokkit! Tjekkie
Yo Ninja! Kook n fokken tekkie

Hier gat ons weer! O here! Warra! Warra! Warra!
It's that brother from another mother's gwarra
Jislaaik! How did I get so fancy?
Al die ander rappers is net ou panties
Ninja! Die real fokken deal
Jy lyk so mooi met my piel in jou keel
Ag siestog! Now try say my name
Man-botter binne in jou slym-konyn

Zik my blaar! Swaai daai zaan
Twee Savannas en my vibes aan
Skop n dop en fokkit op
Ek maak duk zak
Cause I grab the microphone and fuck shit up
Ek's zef! Zars
Baby and my whole crew's fre$! Vars
If I don't know you get lost, you not on my level
Yo put the pedal to the metal

Yoh! Dis net soos n gynecologist se office
Net n klomp poese hierso
Naai man!
Kom ons fokof na die 'Wat Kyk Jy?' jol toe
Yoh! Die queues daar by die 'Wat Kyk Jy?' jols
Is langer as die queues by home affairs
Naai my broe die queues is langer daar

Dis tough kak gets you lekker fucked up
Soos jou eerste spliff
Ek's down met die fokken Zef Meester Griff
On the microphone I'm like the evilest ruler
Mind control many stupid people like Zuma
Wat? Fuck you poepol!
Say what you like but you can't do fokol
Deal with it! You can't fuck with my game
Charf my poef ek buckle jou frame.

Yo what the fuck are you saying?
I'm not wise with your street lingo
Show me the money this is not a free freak-show
Ek smaak goud soos C3PO
Here maar hierdie fokken jols kwaai
Niks soos n lekker bietjie hol swaai
Niks soos n lekker bietjie hol naai
Don't worry everything will be alright!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Die Antwoord's song Wat Kyk Jy appear to be vulgar and obscene at first glance, but they carry a deeper message about the gritty and tough lifestyle of Cape Town's urban poor. The opening line, "Is dit net ek, of is als tos?" essentially means "Is it just me, or is everything messed up?" This line sets the tone for the whole song as the singer complains about his lack of money while lusting after a fancy goose. However, things take a darker turn when they spot someone having sex in a car and promptly tell them to "Fok die poes" or "F*ck off". The chorus also adds to the tough-guy facade of the song with lyrics such as "Wat kyk jy (Jou naai)?" which basically means "Why are you looking? F*ck you!"


The song is filled with profanity, but it reflects the harsh realities of the streets of Cape Town. Although the lyrics are in Afrikaans, the music video's visuals and Die Antwoord's global success helped shine a light on the Cape Town's underground subculture, Zef. This subculture encompasses working-class Afrikaans South Africans who feel marginalized and disenfranchised by political systems, society, and a lack of economic opportunities.
