Jackpot
JGivens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The profit margins are different when prophets are modern and different
By all the residuals given to all of the false ones calling it spirit
We're calling it pimpin'
Boom
Jackpot!
Imma write kinda like dynamite went behind the mic
Imma strike like a matchbox
Gotta couple mics and some merchandise
If you like it I might just go get the cashbox
Stack lots for the Have Nots
Oh no, I know what you thinkin' bro, it's in caps lock
Photo, Humble Beast just unleashed a new mascot
And we come in peace but the Middle East is the backdrop
We ain't never scared
We don't need no screening and no laptops
Toto, we're not in Kansas no mo'
Cue the explosions in slo-mo
Before we go though, we hope to defeat diseases they preach to teens at OVO
YOLO ain't freedom
Delete it, now flash the logo
This is more than record us
Devour the score then orbit from door to door, on tour with the power
More than a plan of just how the Lord, the lion, and lamb could save 'em
If Ya becomes man
This is crash test dummy, slab
Unraveling mummy rap
Cadavers unearth birth
Savages in a money trap
Stand up, hands up
Stick up, everybody move
This is crash test dummy, slab
Unraveling mummy rap
Cadavers unearth birth
Savages in a money trap
Stand up, hands up
Stick up, everybody move

Now after we crash the safe
We detonate all the visible evidence, then replace it with faith
The elephant in the place is the plan to escape
Welcome to the Southwest
Wa-wanna ge-get away, ok
Over there there's a lightpost that's stringin' the back as a tightrope
Attached to a satellite kite, oh
And you might have to try though
With your eyes closed, and now drive slow
Stay focused on the guy in the sky and not on the cyclone
This is Mission Impossible in a hospital
Choppin' like helicopters, some gospel food for your obstacles
Got some news on our shoes
When we hit the ad-list, energy from a triple threat entity
That's a trilogy, feelin' me?
And that's three in a row like tic-tac-toe, heh
And that's a hat trick
We ten toes deep in these streets, and that's toe tactics
Tic-tac-toe backwards
Matt, Mark, Luke, John, though
Homie toe tag it
This is crash test dummy, slab
Unraveling mummy rap
Cadavers unearth birth
Savages in a money trap
Stand up, hands up
Stick up, everybody move
This is crash test dummy, slab
Unraveling mummy rap
Cadavers unearth birth
Savages in a money trap




Stand up, hands up
Stick up, everybody move

Overall Meaning

In the song "Jackpot" by JGivens, the artist is rapping about the music industry and the prevalence of false prophets who are exploiting spirituality for profit. He critiques those who are monetizing the culture and marginalizing the true prophets who are modern and different. JGivens refers to these false prophets as pimps, highlighting their exploitation of spirituality for personal gain. However, JGivens is using his music not just to critique, but also to offer hope. He points to his own success, saying he's struck the jackpot, and invites others to join him in attaining a measure of success as well. He also speaks to the importance of his message beyond commercial success. He shares that this is "more than record us," and that his aim is to overthrow the "savage" monetization of spirituality.


The second verse is more cryptic but continues to elaborate on the theme. JGivens imagines a kind of escape plan, creating a metaphorical journey through the music industry where performers must avoid succumbing to its traps. He acknowledges the difficulty of the journey with the metaphor of a tightrope, but encourages listeners to stay focused on God through the struggles. JGivens also references the biblical book of Matthew and highlights the importance of remaining grounded in faith and principles, signing off with "homie toe tag it," which may be interpreted as a warning to those who would betray their values.
