Baby I'm Bleeding
JPEGMAFIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let that shit run
Uh, fuck! Fuck is, fuck
Alright, alright, alright, shit
(You think you know me)
Ah, fuck! Uh, uh
S-stop, it's over, uh

Peggy, where you been at? Getting all this promo
When it comes to money, bet these niggas is a no-show
I've been out in Bed-Stuy, chilling with my feet up
Laughing at these SoundCloud niggas trying to be us
When I say us, bet, I don't mean no fucking crew
Peggy been a solo act since Looney Tunes and Goofy Troops
Catch me out in Barksdale, counting fettuccine
While you pussy crackers still trying to pass P.T
Ooh, I'm up in Brownsville, strapped with a Kimber
All you yuppie purses getting swiped like Tinder
Now I'm at the White House, looking for your President
Hop out the van, pointing guns at your residence
Ooh, I'm up in Queens now, showing y'all a body
Hoping that you pussy ass try and find me
Chains on my body, looking like a rapper
Acting like a slave when I'm gunning for my masters, nigga

Fuck these niggas!
Buck these niggas! Yeah

It's ironic you pressed for a cooking
It's ironic you talk jail time
But you ain't never seen no central booking (yeah)
It's ironic you hang with a nigga that beat women
And have the nerve to call yourself "Girl Pusher," wow

You ain't real, you're a Jarrod
I'll show you how I really feel (yeah)
White boy better put his hands up, I'm ready

And I'm getting Wilder, shoutout to Deontay
Country niggas booming Peggy, I'm the new Beyoncé
Devil on my entrée, cut like Dante
Promise I will never go blonde like Ka- (hol' up)
Promise I will never go blonde like Kanye?
Got so many styles, they should call me Peggy A.J
When I hit the stage, niggas know it's a payday
Tell your bitch, come here, like I work for Midway, nigga!
(Fuck!)





Like fire

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Baby I'm Bleeding" by American rapper JPEGMAFIA is a self-referential commentary on the artist's recent success and rise to fame. The lyrics reference Peggy's recent promotional efforts and money-making abilities, as well as his status as a solo artist since his early days with Looney Tunes and Goofy Troops. Peggy also takes jabs at his peers in the SoundCloud rap scene, boasting about his own superiority. The chorus "Fuck these niggas! Buck these niggas!" is a defiant refrain that criticizes those who doubt his talent and ambition. Peggy asserts his independence and assertiveness, and refuses to be held back by anyone or anything. He also touches on issues of racial inequality and police brutality, with references to Brownsville and Queens, as well as gun violence and social justice. The concluding lines are a playful nod to Peggy's own flamboyant persona, as he boasts about his chains and style.


The second verse of the song delves deeper into social commentary, with Peggy taking aim at a "Girl Pusher" who associates with alleged abusers and hypocrites. He questions the authenticity and integrity of those who talk tough but have never been to jail, and calls out those who try to co-opt black culture for their own gain. Peggy's repeated use of the word "ironic" highlights the incongruity between the image that some people try to project and their actual actions and character. The bridge of the song continues this theme of resistance and defiance, with Peggy declaring that he will never "go blonde like Kanye" and asserting his unique identity and versatility as a performer.


Overall, "Baby I'm Bleeding" is a bold and assertive rap song that blends witty wordplay with a subversive political message. The song's lyrics comment on issues of race, gender, and power, and challenge the listener to question their own assumptions about these topics. The song's aggressive and confrontational style reflects Peggy's rebellious persona and uncompromising vision as an artist.
