Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time (you think you know me)
Every time
Stop scarin' the hoes
Play that shit that'll have them touch they toes
We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more
What the fuck is that? Give me back my aux cord (yeah)
Play that shit that'll have them touch they toes
We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more
What the fuck is that? Give me back my aux cord
Play somethin' for the bitches
How the fuck we s'posed to make money of this shit?
You wanna be a MC?
What the fuck you think, it's 1993?
Welcome to the big league, this a young man's sport
Fuck that hip-hop and that old man flow
Where the autotune at? Give a fuck about that trap (scarin' the hoes)
'Cause it's all about the scams, catch up, old man
Say it ain't about the bars 'cause it's all about the brand (black)
Say it ain't about the art (heels)
'Cause it all about them bands (legs)
Give a fuck about a fan (legs)
Put the money in my hand (I see you workin' it)
'Bout to buy a new chain
Give a fuck about land (I see you workin' it)
Go vroom, vroom, vroom in that brand new Lamb' (work it)
'Bout to go to the beach (work it)
Bring my own sand (work it)
I'm a business man (woo)
You a rapper like Chance
Now work that shit, woo
Stop scarin' the hoes
Play that shit that'll have them touch they toes
We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more
What the fuck is that? Give me back my aux cord
Stop scarin' the hoes
Play that shit that'll have them touch they toes
We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more
What the fuck is that? Give me back my aux cord
Play somethin' for the bitches
How the fuck we s'posed to make money of this shit?
You wanna be a MC?
What the fuck you think, it's 1993?
Stop scarin' the hoes
Playing that shit, have them touchin' they toes
"We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more"
"What the fuck is that? Give me that aux cord"
Stop scarin' the hoes
Playing that shit, have them touchin' they toes
"We don't wanna hear that weird shit no more"
"What the fuck is that? Give me that aux cord"
Black
Heels
Legs, legs
I see you workin' it
I see you workin' it
Work it, work it, work it, woo
Now work that shit
The lyrics to JPEGMAFIA's song "Scaring The Hoes" touch on the idea of commercialization and its impact on art. The song asserts the need for hip hop artists to produce music that caters to mainstream audiences in order for them to gain commercial success. It starts with the call for DJs to play music that appeals to women, and thus drives cash flow towards the artists. The song criticizes the overuse of weird sounds and noises in music production, and the rise of 'trap' music, which has been accused of promoting negative stereotypes of the black community. The line "You wanna be an MC? What the fuck you think, it's 1993?" criticizes the existence of the present rap scene, where the approach to production was geared towards those that rapped with exceptional skills, and not popularity. The song suggests that the current hip-hop scene is driven by branding and image, rather than art.
