Respect
J.C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wake up to Henny I don't fuck with no espresso
I don't want no sex
Cause your pussy got a echo
And I don't respect hoes
Cos I'm from the ghetto
Niggas dick riding, still dick riding
I hit the jackpot I hit the big piΓ±ata
I make the black money take a real clean shower
Cash paper memo
I get it, got it tenfold
Exercise your neck bone
Suck me to the tempo
Stare at the money, gecko
Big money make you nervous
Heart beat metro
Stack-stack it
Rack it
Pack it
Sack it
Breed it
Duplicate it
Magic, magic
Ivyson religion is awesome
I'm not selfish with the skopas
They call me dick in daughter
I put a dick in your aah
In the first verse of "Respect" by South African rapper J.C, he starts by boasting about his wealth and success, referring to "carats" and having a perfect vision, suggesting his clarity in achieving his goals. The mention of skipping espresso for Henny (short for Hennessy) implies a preference for luxury and indulgence. He dismisses the idea of engaging in sexual activities with someone by saying their genitals have an "echo", possibly indicating a lack of emotional connection or depth in the relationship. J.C then asserts that he doesn't respect women he perceives as promiscuous, attributing his mindset to his upbringing in the ghetto, where societal norms may have influenced his attitude towards women.
The next part touches on the theme of envy and competition in the music industry, with J.C calling out people who imitate or try to ride his success, emphasizing the need for discretion when counting his earnings. He likens his financial success to hitting the jackpot and mentions enjoying the rewards of his hard work, comparing it to breaking open a piΓ±ata filled with rewards. The mention of "black money" and taking a "real clean shower" could symbolize the challenges he has faced and the cleansing nature of his success.
Moving on to the following verses, J.C brings up the idea of accumulating wealth through various means such as cash, paper, and memo (memorandum). He mentions multiplying his earnings exponentially and hints at a hedonistic lifestyle by referring to explicit acts and indulgences. The reference to a gecko, known for its ability to cling to surfaces, could symbolize J.C's resilience and adaptability in the pursuit of success. The imagery of money making one nervous and the heartbeat sounding like a metro train underscore the intensity and speed at which financial success can impact one's life.
In the closing part of the lyrics, J.C mentions his "Ivyson religion," which could refer to his personal code or beliefs that guide his actions. He states that he is not stingy with sharing his success or wealth, suggesting a level of generosity or community spirit. The line "They call me dick in daughter" can be interpreted in various ways, possibly alluding to his provocative or controversial reputation. The final line about putting a genitalia in a certain orifice is blunt and confrontational, adding a provocative element to the overall message of the song. J.C's lyrics in "Respect" portray a mix of braggadocio, ambition, and defiance, offering a glimpse into his perspective on success, wealth, and societal expectations.
