Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soft as shit, bitch
Wet, wet
Wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, wet
Wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, yo
Wet, wet, wet, wet
Kill the connect
Beat 'em like rhythm roulette
You niggas scared of the God
Bitch, keep that shit on the net
I treat your like rafiki, I raise the k like a kid
AR built like Lena Dunham
When I shoot, I don't miss (trapaholics)
Crackers be singing like chorus, choppa be changing they pitch
Choppa pay a nigga rent, choppa write a nigga hits
Heard he wanna be a rapper, choppa change a nigga niche
Niggas always wanna get buck, 'til they meet 50 cent
Fuck a subtweet, sub-pop niggas heads off like Pez
Alt-right want war, well that's fine then
Bitch niggas in the way, well, that's common
White boys getting mad 'cause of my content
Y'all brave on the web, keep it in the comments
Sock it to a nigga like mankind
And motherfuck that flag, nigga, we dying
Cac! Bitch! Pussy! Fuck outta here
Where my ladies at? (Ayy)
I love y'all (where ya at?)
The real is back, fucker
I'm a real nigga (whoa!)
I'm a real nigga, ooh (whoa!)
I'm a real nigga (whoo!)
I'm a real nigga, ooh (whoa!)
(I don't really like-)
The lyrics for JPEGMAFIA's song "Real Nega" are layered and multifaceted, showcasing the artist's ability to seamlessly blend personal and political themes. The opening lines "You think you know me / Soft as shit, bitch / Wet, wet" are a nod to the assumptions that people often make about him based on his appearance, only to be proven wrong when they hear his music. The repetition of "wet" can be interpreted as either a sexual reference or a commentary on the South's humid climate.
The following lines "Kill the connect / Repo man, when I come to collect / Beat 'em like rhythm roulette" revolve around the idea of seizing power and authority, both within the music industry and society at large. The line "I treat your like rafiki, I raise the k like a kid" is a reference to the character Rafiki from The Lion King and the use of the letter "k" represents the artist's commitment to keeping it real. The line "AR built like Lena Dunham / When I shoot, I don't miss" is a play on words, as Lena Dunham is an actress and director who is often criticized for her thin frame, while also referencing the artist's willingness to take aim and speak truth to power.
Throughout the rest of the song, JPEGMAFIA continues to assert his dominance and "realness" by calling out fake artists and fluctuating political landscapes. He encourages listeners to take action and stand up for what they believe in, amidst a chaotic and divided world. The song mixes abrasive beats with clever wordplay and thought-provoking lyrics, making it a standout track on the artist's album "Veteran."
