Freak
Djoko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man
Has got to deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
'Cause it's all about the dog in me
I want to freak in the morning
I need a roughneck brother
That can satisfy me just for me
If you are that kind of man
'cuz i'm that kind of girl
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'cause we don't give a damn about a thing
Cause I will be a freak
until the day until the dawn
and we can pump, pump
all through the night till the early morn
come on and I will take you
around the 'hood on a gangsta lean
'cause we can pump, pump
any time of day it's all good for me
Boy, you're moving kind of slow
You got to keep it up, Now there you go
There's just one thing that a man must do
I'm packing all the flavor you need
I got you shook up on your knees
'cause it's all about the dog in me
In Djoko's song Freak, the lyrics describe a person who has a bit of freakiness inside and needs a partner who can satisfy them sexually. The song subverts traditional gender roles as a woman sings about her desires and needs in a sexual relationship, and seeks out a "roughneck brother" who can fulfill her desires. The lyrics reflect a sense of empowerment as the singer asserts their sexuality and independence, declaring that they don't need anyone to pay their way.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I will be a freak until the day until the dawn," reinforcing the idea that the singer is unapologetic about their desires and intends to live their life on their own terms. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody add to the sense of liberation and joy expressed in the lyrics.
Overall, Djoko's Freak celebrates sexual freedom and the power of embracing one's own desires. It challenges traditional ideas about gender roles and asserts the importance of mutual pleasure and satisfaction in a sexual relationship.

Let me lay it on the line
I'm going to be straightforward and honest with you
I got a little freakiness inside
I have a wild side that I want to express
And you know that the man
You know that society expects men to be a certain way
Has got to deal with it
But you're going to have to accept who I really am
I don't care what they say
I don't care about society's expectations and norms
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
I'm not going to conform to someone else's standards or expectations
'Cause it's all about the dog in me
Because I need to be true to myself and my desires
I want to freak in the morning
I want to express my wild side in the morning
A freak in the evening just like me
I want to be my true self all the time
I need a roughneck brother
I need someone who is strong and can handle me and my wild side
That can satisfy me just for me
Someone who can satisfy me and my unique desires
If you are that kind of man
If you are the right person for me
'cuz i'm that kind of girl
Because I am the kind of person who needs that
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
I have a wild side that I want to share with the world
'cause we don't give a damn about a thing
Because we don't care what other people think about us
Cause I will be a freak
I will always be true to myself and my wild side
until the day until the dawn
All day and all night
and we can pump, pump
And we can express ourselves and our desires
all through the night till the early morn
We can be wild and free all night long
come on and I will take you
Come with me and be yourself
around the 'hood on a gangsta lean
We can be wild and free in our own neighborhood
'cause we can pump, pump
Because we can be ourselves and express ourselves
any time of day it's all good for me
We can be wild and free anytime, anywhere
Boy, you're moving kind of slow
You're not expressing yourself as much as you could be
You got to keep it up, Now there you go
You need to keep up with me and my wild side
There's just one thing that a man must do
A man needs to accept and satisfy his partner's desires
I'm packing all the flavor you need
I have everything you need to be satisfied
I got you shook up on your knees
I know how to satisfy you and make you feel good
'cause it's all about the dog in me
Because I need to be true to myself and my desires
