JPEGMAFIA Lyrics

You think you know me, oh
Don't assume you know me without getting to know me first.

It's stupid, but I will persevere
It may be foolish, but I will keep going even when things get difficult.

(Yes)
Acknowledging the situation at hand.

Sad man, uh
Feeling down and troubled.

Rap in prison (uh)
Feeling trapped and confined within the current state of rap music.

I know these basement dwellers need a villain (oh)
Recognizing the need for a character to portray as the bad guy for the sake of entertainment.

How you livin'? It's Young Peggy without no pot to piss in
Questioning the lifestyle of others and acknowledging his lack of wealth.

Hard drive (hard drive), we pack pistols, we make your heart stop
Using music as a weapon to shock and stun audiences.

Rap just need God (hahaha, sucka)
Saying that rap music is divine and transcends beyond simple verses and beats.

Never go out the model way (okay, model way?)
Refusing to conform to standard societal norms and expectations.

Still can't believe I'm gettin' paid off this art today (damn, Peggy)
Expressing gratefulness for getting paid for something he loves doing.

I'm the medicine man (yeah), keep a zip in my hand (yeah)
Rapping about selling drugs and promoting illegal activities.

I do work on the stage (haha), I still feel like a fan
Despite being the one performing, still having the same level of excitement as a fan when listening to his own music.

Uh, when I pass
When I die.

I hope everything I did matter to you baby, if it didn't
Wishing that his legacy will have a positive impact on someone's life.

Fuck it, when my body frigid (yeah), all this music gon' keep Peggy livin'
Even after death, his music will serve as a way to keep his legacy and spirit alive.

It's the young, black, Brian Wilson
Comparing himself to the famous Beach Boys musician Brian Wilson, but emphasizing his own race and age.

Smile at these crackers that want me dead
Addressing racial tensions and vowing to continue on despite any opposition he may face.

Fire helmets won't protect your head
Playing with the idea that physical protection may not always be enough to defend oneself.

Don't get sent to Jesus throwin' lead, lil' nigga
Carrying a gun and being prepared to use it to defend himself, even to the point of potentially killing someone.

Uh, 'sup
Starting a casual conversation.

Yeah
Agreement or affirmation.

You know what I mean?
Asking for confirmation that the listener understands his viewpoint.

Sometimes you just gotta keep it simple like that
Acknowledging the simplicity and straightforwardness of his approach to music.

I mean it's just, it is what it is you know?
Saying that things are just the way they are, without any intention of changing them.

That's what my dad tells me, no not at all
Joking about not having a father to receive advice from.

That's what my dad tells me too, if I had a dad
Continuing the joke about not having a father figure.

My dad, my dad doesn't
Reiterating the fact that he does not have a father to receive advice from.

Ah, yeah
Expressing excitement or agreement.
