One of Them
JUJU Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chali 2na]
Yo, Your image deceives what your people perceive
Some people believe what the media feeds, TV MCs
That try to bark hollow...pretend to be harsh fellows
But be yellow and softer than marshmallows

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Juju]
Homo I'ma hurt ya feelings
Name brand talkers...pretty ass earrings
Where are all your women I ain't seen you with one
The only bitch that ever loved you gotta call you her son
Yeah, you that nigga...choch ass nigga
No heart...won't even approach us nigga
So you be humble man...stay in your place
We them niggas that rumble and get in your face

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Marc 7]
Concerned with lookin' cute...nails done, eyes plucked
Homie, what the fuck?...I mean really whassup
Help a brother understand
How self-admiration takes the soul of a man
Damn, vain ass, plain ass, nothing ass niggas
Get your punk ass out the goddamn mirror

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Cuts: DJNu-Mark]
Real niggas do real things and that's a fact

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Cuts: DJNu-Mark]
Are you in with the heart or are you in it for the funds

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Akil]
Uh Mr. Know-It-All, flossy floss, all talk
Head Mr. A&R ...we ain't hard, who the fuck said we was?
You never heard us holla...Crip or Blood or I'm a thug

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Zaakir (Soup)]
You want to rhyme like that?
You won't get signed like that
Ya'll need the R&B track
Or call some sisters sluts
Tell them...back that thang up
'Cause only real niggas spit game that much

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Chali 2na]
Right off the bat...what you speak is contrived
Its like you're cloaked in a Pinocchio vibe
And when you lie...you play with the dream
You make it decay at the seams
You can fix it...if you say what you mean

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Juju]
Pick and choose who you beef with
Leap froggy, Show me how real you keep it
I know that you pussy all underneath it
Now it's time for the 5 to expose your secret

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Cuts: DJNu-Mark]
Shake up...foo's be faker than make up...HA!

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Cuts: DJNu-Mark]
Are you in with the heart or are you in it for the funds

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Cuts: DJNu-Mark]
Knock this pretty boy cats on they ass...each time we drop...kid

[All]
Oh you one of them niggas!

[Marc 7]
No time for idle chattin'...folks say what's happening
'Til we go platinum...house in the Hamptons
Bank account large...give sha-tan my cold regards
There's a killer at large...and he murders esteem
'Cause he strips black teens of all their dreams

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Akil]
Yeah what you trying to prove
Keep it gangsta where I'm from...ain't a G's move
Now everybody want to pop that shit
Walk like a Crip...what part of the game is this?
Don't get caught up the twist of some gang bang shit
But then you probably would...fascinated with the hood

[All]
You one of them niggas!

[Zaakir (Soup)]
Man...enough is enough...I know that you're ghetto
A thug and you tough...your possie is deep
And when you speak it's fuck the police
Am I to believe...is that the way you really would be
If only we see...what there is no cameras allowed
And your bodyguard didn't have to hold your hand through the crowd





[All]
You one of them niggas!

Overall Meaning

The song One of Them by Juju is an introspective look at the fake image that many people try to maintain in front of others. The first verse, performed by Chali 2na, talks about the misleading nature of media and TV personalities who pretend to be tough and act like hollow, harsh fellows. The chorus, “Oh you one of them niggas!” is repeated throughout the song as a way to point out individuals who are trying to portray a fake image of themselves. Juju takes center stage in the second verse and talks about guys who pretend to be tough and hurt those who call them out. He also takes a jab at these guys’ fashion sense and points out that he’s never seen them with a girl. Marc 7 takes over for the third verse and talks about a man’s self-admiration and how it can strip the soul of a man. He encourages guys to take a break from the mirror and focus on what’s really important in life. Finally, Akil and Zaakir (Soup) emphasize the importance of authenticity and discourage men from adopting gang culture and violent behavior to prove their worth. The song is a warning against trying to fit in and sacrificing one’s identity along the way.

And when you speak it's fuck the police
You express hostility toward law enforcement

Are you actually the tough-guy you claim to be?


If only we see...what there is no cameras allowed
If we could witness your behavior when there's no one else around


And your bodyguard didn't have to hold your hand through the crowd
If you weren't surrounded by protection at all times


Shake up...foo's be faker than make up...HA!
You're all fakes and aren't as tough as you want us to believe
