Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You that slick ass kid, that politic and dash kid.
Turn a small investment into quick cash kid. hide
Your stash, mad, don't hardly laugh kid. hard cause'
The world done put you on your ass kid. run fast. the
Type the cops can't catch kid. numb, when you was
Young your mom and dad passed, then your world stopped ...
Like whiplash kid. you seen who was down when they turned
They backs kid. pay them no mind cats is bastards. fuck em.

do your thing baby. continue to shine.
Let it all hang. let it all hang baby.
Come and get it. you. the best. #1. that's why they hate.
They want your spot in the sun. make you vacate. come
And get it, bring it on.step to the plate. I'm the king. make room for me.

it's a god damn shame how those kids were adoring you,
Even though they knew you flushed crack down the urinal.
Role model, you was, it came as a shock to you. they don't
Wanna be like mike, they wanna sling rocks like you: a
"real nigga" from the hood, come and see, shake they hand.
Making them feel good putting cash in their little hands.
Was it a mistake you screwed their minds or was it your plan?
How could you ever throw this away?

step aside.
If you could see their eyes when you walk by ...hypnoitized.




They want into your life and you promised them the sky. they
Bought into your lie. your lie. your lie.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.Town Concrete's song Dirty Jer-z describe a personality who is a slick kid, who knows how to speak and acquire things. He is someone who was a small man with meagre resources and turned it into a big one with a large amount of cash, who is always careful about where he hides his stash to not draw attention to himself. This person does not laugh much, because he's encountered some tough situations lately in his life. He was put in difficult situations by the world, so he learned how to run fast so that the cops could never catch him. However, he's lost both of his parents when he was young, and this has changed everything about his life. These experiences have left him numb, but he's seen those who were there for him when everybody else turned their backs on him and doesn't care about the latter.


The song reflects the dangerous culture of Jersey City, where dirty dealings and crime are prevalent. In this world, being a role model comes with a lot of responsibility. The song highlights someone who was once loved and respected by people who later became a drug dealer. The song sounds like a warning to the younger generation who want to be like him. The song emphasizes that being like him is not worth it. It is a warning against the drug culture that could lead to questionable role models in society. The lyrics show the danger of becoming an icon in the eyes of the wrong people.
