New Wave
Iamjakehill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back, back, back, back, back
On my bullshit
Feeling like too sick
Been a minute since I've been a villain
I'ma do this shit
Backstab from the top
Feeling like a butcher
Run up on the fakes
Get punk like Kutcher
Never hit the brakes
Highway to the future
Call great
38 to the face
Get a switcher
Ain't no way I'll waste away
Now tell me mother fucka'
Can you dig it like Booker?

God damn feeling like the front man
I don't need a band
I don't need a plan
I'm abandoned
Brand it
Ready up the canvas
You my need a bandage
Demanding a ransom
A fan will be kept stranded
On this planet
Like Danzig?
Got a problem I don't mind it
You will never find me don't try it

Tell me what's happening
Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again
Devastate
With a grin
Watch me levitate new wave ascend

Tell me what's happening
Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again
Devastate
With a grin
Watch me levitate new wave ascend

Keep to myself you can't see me
John Cena when I pull up on you
Better retreat
Can't eat 'til I kill the beast
Move in like a predator
I don't really give a fuck
I'll run up on a harrier
MW2
Boy you better duck
I'm Treyarch
You're sledge hammer
You suck
That's disrespect
Tell me how it feels
Double LMG Rambo in the field
Damn

Tell me what's happening
Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again
Devastate
With a grin
Watch me levitate new wave ascend

Tell me what's happening
Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again
Devastate
With a grin
Watch me levitate new wave ascend

I don't need a chain
All I need is my name
And a little bit of money
I don't care about the fame
I'ma do it for the family
I'ma do it for the bloodline
Fuck it
They don't give a fuck about
'Bout, 'Bout, 'Bout

Tell me what's happening
Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again
Devastate
With a grin
Watch me levitate new wave ascend

Tell me what's happening




Leave 'em in the ditch
I'm back again

Overall Meaning

In "New Wave," Iamjakehill begins with a chant-like repetition of "back," suggesting his triumphant return after a brief hiatus. He declares that he is on his "bullshit," indicating that he is up to no good, and that he has been feeling unwell for some time, necessitating his return to his villainous ways. He proceeds to describe how he is determined to be ruthless in his pursuit of power, backstabbing his rivals from the top, and carving up anyone who stands in his way.


He uses the metaphor of a highway to represent his journey to the future, urging his detractors to call him "great" while simultaneously warning them that he is not to be trifled with. He goes on to say that he will never slow down or lose his momentum, comparing himself to legendary wrestler Booker T. He also makes reference to his former band, which he has now left behind, and his determination to succeed on his own.


The rest of the song sees Iamjakehill tackling his adversaries head-on, using a mix of brute force and cunning to assert his dominance. He implies that he is a predator on the hunt, not giving a thought to the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, he makes it clear that he doesn't care about wealth or fame; instead, he is motivated by a desire to protect his family and lineage.


Overall, "New Wave" is an aggressive, confident track that highlights Iamjakehill's determination to succeed, whatever the cost.
