Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What what what, yeah alright okay
Your face is looking punchable please let me test it out
Where is my miss huxtable the funs all in her mouth
I'm the fucking Boogeyman your daughter's talking bout
And I'ma kill your kittens while your mommies out the house
I'ma get some money leave the nigga in the van
Call the fucking cops and read them niggas my demands
'Til the sniper hits me we a headshot, damn
What what what, don't catch a fucking fade
What what what, yeah alright okay
Blood in an blood out
Only 1 way out
Church service Sunday got my gun way out
Murking niggas today what ya gun play bout
Got ya location nigga at ya sunday house
Welcome to the mob
Baby, do the job
It's a bank job
I get a blow job
New paint job
On the Chevrolet candy painted race car
Don't quit ya day job
What what what, don't catch a fucking fade
What what what, yeah alright okay
받어, top
Sippin', drop
벌어, guap
Stackin' my Knots
피고, 떠나. 안받어, 전화. 마치 공항. 난 곧 날라가
사랑과 평화. 필요해 정말
그래서 바꿔 난 행복과 건강
보다시피 난 아니지 정상
보다시피 난 아직 아니지 정상
올라가 계속 더 높이
니 여자 속옷은 호피
그 여자는 먹었지, molly
그냥 젖어버렸지 몹시
내 컵은 너무 더러워
내 보석 울어 서러워
나는 유령. 너무 투명. 이건 나의삶, 나의 운명
나는 약초를 태우고 한약을 마시지 그냥 마치 허준
나는 내 인생을 갈아서 말아서. 피워버려 마치 blunts
내 보석은 한 여름에도 너무 차가워서 내 기분은 겨울
난 너무 추워 현실 적응 대신 거부하고 되버렸지, 허구
내 보석 슬퍼 흘려 눈물
내 손목은 마치 북극
내 보석 슬퍼 흘려 눈물
내 손목은 마치 북극
내 보석 슬퍼 흘려 눈물
내 손목은 마치 북극
난 얼어붙은 주먹을 휘둘름
끝까지 진화된 내 존재는 궁극
What what what, don't catch a fucking fade
What what what, yeah alright okay
In Keith Ape's song "What?!", the lyrics convey a sense of aggression and dominance. The repeated phrases "What what what, don't catch a fucking fade" and "What what what, yeah alright okay" serve as a refrain, emphasizing a warning or challenge not to engage in confrontation or conflict.
The first verse paints a violent and confrontational picture. The line "Your face is looking punchable please let me test it out" suggests a desire to provoke a physical altercation. The reference to "miss huxtable" and "the funs all in her mouth" alludes to engaging in sexual activities with a willing partner, adding an element of audaciousness. The line "I'm the fucking Boogeyman your daughter's talking bout" emphasizes the singer's intimidating presence and reputation. Furthermore, the reference to killing kittens while the mothers are away highlights a disregard for life and a willingness to commit despicable acts.
The second verse introduces elements of criminality and violence. The lines "Blood in an blood out, Only 1 way out" allude to being bound by loyalty to a violent gang or organization. The mention of a bank job and a blow job implies involvement in illegal activities and indulging in hedonistic pleasures. The reference to a candy-painted race car adds a celebratory tone to the criminal lifestyle. The line "Don't quit ya day job" suggests that the singer sees their criminal endeavors as temporary and potentially unsustainable.
The final verse switches to Korean lyrics, providing a glimpse into the artist's cultural background. The lyrics are less straightforward to interpret, but themes of rebellion, indulgence, and emotional pain can be discerned. The lines express a sense of detachment and self-destructive behavior, as well as the contrast between the singer's inner struggles and their external appearance of success. The repeated lines "내 보석 슬퍼 흘려 눈물 / 내 손목은 마치 북극" (translated as "My jewel sad, tears flowing / My wrist like the North Pole") suggest a deep emotional pain or heartbreak that the singer wears like an accessory. The final line suggests a resilient and evolved presence, possibly indicating a refusal to conform to societal norms or expectations.
Overall, "What?!" combines themes of aggression, dominance, criminality, rebellion, and emotional turmoil to create an intense and provocative narrative. The lyrics paint a picture of a complex and conflicted individual who grapples with their inner demons while projecting an intimidating persona to the world.

끝까지 진화된 내 존재는 궁극
My evolved existence is ultimate until the end
