No Wave
IDK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I'm goin' uptown with a smile
And my tongue brown
Rollie in my name, Plain Jane
What's a bust down? (What?)
Nigga, I ain't on what you on
You a fuckin' fraud
You know that ain't law, not at all
(Right, right, right)
See I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now

Ballin', it's a lay-up
Shots gon' make you lay down (Swish, swish)
Niggas keep on hatin'
They know they ain't safe now (Right)
I might have to take shit
Run up in your safehouse (Haha)
Did a show in Paris, now I'm off to Cape Town
(Run it, run it) i came from spammin' on DMs
But now shit done changed
I go HAM on your BM
They used to make fun of him
Now they wan' be him
See I just be sonnin' 'em AM to PM
You didn't believe him and now you
Done changed, I'm no angel, the demon
Yeah, you like to smile in his
Face when you see him
That's why I don't look in
Your face for a reason
Bitch, this is a Black Mirror season, I'm

I'm goin' uptown with a smile
And my tongue brown
Rollie in my name, Plain Jane
What's a bust down? (What?)
Nigga, I ain't on what you on
You a fuckin' fraud
You know that ain't law, not at all
(Right, right, right)
See I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now

Thurgood Marshall artist
If you try to hit a foul like Artemis, uh
For the new wave, I started it
Like a du rag when you
Open up the starter kit, uh
Same shit but a new fly, Jay I
D got a motherfuckin' K on the side
Chopped off now a nigga lay on the side
Yellow tape, everybody pray on the side
(Do do do do do do)
Noah's Ark, I made my mark
So, nigga, don't start with me
Don't fuck with me
From the dust, I'm Spartacus
So anybody touchin' me is first degree
(Oh, yeah)
Whirlwind, mixed with a whirlpool (Uh, huh)
Denzel 'bout to make a fuckin' typhoon
(Uh, huh)
What can I say? I'm a boss tycoon (Uh, huh)
Coolest monkey in the jungle, not a baboon
Ah

I'm goin' uptown with a smile
And my tongue brown
Rollie in my name, Plain Jane
What's a bust down? (What?)
Nigga, I ain't on what you on
You a fuckin' fraud
You know that ain't law, not at all
(Right, right, right)
See I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now
I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now




I could fuck the wave up, bitch
That ain't the wave now

Overall Meaning

At a first glance, IDK Denzel Curry's song "No Wave" may seem like a braggadocious, catchy tune about being on top of the game and flexing one's success, but there is more depth to the lyrics than meets the eye. The song is a commentary on the dangers of blindly following trends and the importance of staying true to oneself. The titular "wave" refers to the ever-changing trends and fads in the music industry, and how some artists are willing to compromise their artistic integrity to stay relevant and popular.


IDK and Denzel make it clear that they are not interested in following the pack. They are already successful in their own right, and refuse to adopt the latest sound or fashion just to fit in. They criticize others who do just that, labeling them as "fucking frauds" and warning them that they are not following the "law." They see themselves as disrupters who can "fuck the wave up" and create something new and original. In the second verse, they reference their come-up and how they've had to fight to get where they are, but they are still humble and grounded despite their success.


Overall, "No Wave" is a reminder to stay true to oneself and not compromise one's own creative vision for the sake of popularity. It's a message that's especially relevant in today's world, where social media and the pressure to conform can be overwhelming.

Kia Amire these days people dont look for talent. Hence why he is still underrated, but he 🔥 wish also that he can shine

I heard he was stepping away from music unfortunately. But if so, nothing but respect. He has his reasons I'm sure.
