Robert
Jockstrap Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're provoking me Robert
I want to be your play mate
I want my own portrait

Holding hands with God
And he can see through the art you make
I am really impressed

Muscles, yeah
I've been gone all winter, yeah
Catch me all city, posted in that same-
(yeah) y'all can keep the Twitter shit
We just on some dissin' shit
Seventeen marathons we-we-we-we-we-we shit
Bet you gon' remember this
When you go and tell your kids
That's the one that Dante and your
Why-why-why-why-why-why-why
They never really talk
But she said he need to invoke the fifth
She done had an experience
Wait, hold up, no, serious
This the type of beat that
Make me drink a whole, Nah
This the type of beat that
Make me plead the fifth
I might go risk it all
Pull up to the blacktop party wearing Vans
I'm off the wall
Burn the body with some gasoline
Just to top it off
Shit, you better watch yourself
Y'all is on a label now
All it means to me is all
My clothes got different labels now
Problem solved so make it out
Got Apple money in my bank account
I heard that cash reveals the truth
Yeah well y'all can hate me now

Guerrilla war homosexual
Sex, extol the devil carcass of an angel

You're provoking me Robert

I want to, I want to
Be kissed, be the masochist be cool, be sane

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jockstrap's song "Robert" delve into themes of desire, identity, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening lines, "You're provoking me Robert, I want to be your playmate, I want my own portrait," hint at a longing for a deeper connection with someone named Robert. There is a desire to be noticed and desired, perhaps even immortalized through a portrait.

The next set of lines, "Holding hands with God, and he can see through the art you make, I am really impressed," introduces religious imagery and hints at the idea of art as a means of spiritual expression. The singer is impressed by Robert's artistic abilities and their connection to something higher.

The following verse seems to shift the focus to the singer themselves, boasting about their physical prowess with lines like "Muscles, yeah, I've been gone all winter." There is a sense of confidence and defiance, as they dismiss social media (Twitter) and engage in some form of playful rivalry with Robert, referencing "dissin' shit" and multiple marathons.

The rest of the lyrics touch upon different themes like personal experiences, risking it all, changing circumstances (being on a label), and the revealing power of money. The song concludes with the provocative line "Guerrilla war homosexual, sex, extol the devil carcass of an angel," which suggests a complex exploration of sexuality and the juxtaposition of conflicting forces.
