Truly Yours
Kool G Rap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah here we go, just go with the flow
I wanna say something to this girl I know
She tried to play me out though, check it out

This I dedicate to the girl I hate
It's a piece of my mind rhyme put on a plate
So yo, go ahead swinger, I'm putting up my middle finger
I'm not sad or mad, I don't feel anger
You're not all that fly, trying to play the role
I had girls that looked better on the ho stroll
Working night patrol, ya know what I mean?
I get cash and still wear Jordache jeans
You thought your drug-dealing man was much better
Because he always came and got you in a plush Jetta
Or a Audi, a Benz, or a Jaguar
You didn't think G Rap was going that far
I'm here to tell off, because you thought I fell off
And now if you're riding the tip, just get the hell off
You wanted to leave because you didn't believe that I would achieve
Cause you had something up your sleeve
Perhaps you might have thought I'm a dreamer with a fat head
Now you're stuck with a baby from a crack head
Come to my shows, you want to check it to see if I wreck it
The only record your man got is a jail record
I know you like him a lot because he's a big shot
The only picture you got is his mug shot
I'm on a label with well-known singers in it
Look, your man's getting booked and fingerprinted
Polo drives a Benz from state to stae
By the way, guess who made his license plates
Thought I was finished, down, going through the blues
Here's a hundred dollars, go buy some new shoes
Go ahead good looking, you can keep booking
From my recital I'll never get my title tooken
So you got a little 9 to 5, so what?
What do you do for a living, slice cold cuts?
You look slick, but you know every Tom and Dick
You're more quick than a chick from a porno flick
While you scrub floors, I go on tours
From me, G Rap, yo, truly yours

(Yo G man! You should diss her man. Yo I heard he's a homo anyway)

Listen up money, or should I say honey?
You're looking more sweeter than a Playboy bunny
Fingernails filed, your hair is styled
And the gear that you wear looks hot and wild
Everybody says is he, some kind of sissy?
Your name was "Moose" but now they call you "Missy"
Night or day lights, you fight for the gay rights
I thought you would stay bright, but you wanna play fight
With men, and Len, your real close friend
But you wouldn't be his friend if his knees didn't bend
You're not a lady dear, you're a square and a queer
Barrettes in your hair, bamboos in your ear
Running to cars, hanging out in gay bars
Winking your eyes to guys that wear bras
Skintight Levi's and even knee-highs
Don't try to lie, sugar, I know why
In the ladies bathroom, spraying on perfume
Stuffing your t-shirt with two balloons
You don't think about the opposite sex at all
Instead of sugar walls, you'd rather have the balls
Way back in the days, you was as big as a cow
But look at you now, at jams you say "Ow!"
A sex disease was as common as TB
But gays today get VD in 3-D
And that is called AIDS in case you didn't know
And the only blow I'm giving is this knockout blow
Switching with your bandana looking like Diana Ross
From me G Rap, yo, truly yours

(Hey yo, finish dissing that girl, man)

Yo, do me a favor, and pick up a pen and pad
And try to write down the numbers of the men you've had
So remember when you're putting someone else in check
Go to the Wizard of Oz and get some self-respect
Won't say no names, it might leave a permanent scar
I don't have to go that far, you know who you are
And if you don't, then everybody else does
Cause all the fellas be telling me how good you was
I can't accept a girl with a ruined rep
I'm like a chef, I just cook up the stew and step
Off with her clothes, like Moby Dick, there she blows
She wanna throw like the girls from the peep shows
Your man was large, but now he's getting kinda tiny
And you run up behind me trying to get pregnant by me
And in a year, I bet you'll be on welfare
Don't cry for help dear, you put yourself there
The way it looks, you'll end up in Playboy books
While your man is in Manhattan snatching pocket books
Bugging and mugging with a big 12 gauge
Starving so bad I can see his ribcage
Yo, you used to tell me all the time you're gonna be a model
Later in life, you're living in a crack bottle
So when you're begging on your knees because I'm clocking G's
You'll be in zero degrees getting processed cheese
Wearing dungarees, yo baby I don't need a girl with broken hands
Cause her man's a woman beater
So when you getting sores from giving up your drawers
Remember Kool G Rap said truly yours

Yo, I don't even know why you tried to play me honey




Now I'm down with Warner Brothers getting Bugs Bunny money
(Word, now you wild females know how G rap lives)

Overall Meaning

The song "Truly Yours," by Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, is a diss track aimed at two individuals, one man and one woman, who seem to have wronged the rapper in some way. The lyrics are full of insults and crude language, as Kool G Rap takes aim at both of his targets with equal venom. While the lyrics are misogynistic and homophobic, they are also somewhat playful, with Kool G Rap seeming to enjoy the act of dissing his foes. He paints a picture of himself as a successful and wealthy rapper, living the high life and faring better than those who have wronged him. The song showcases Kool G Rap's distinctive flow and lyrical ability, as he delivers rhymes quickly and confidently.


One way to interpret the lyrics of "Truly Yours" is as a statement of Kool G Rap's success and power. He repeatedly emphasizes that he is better off than the woman he is dissing, who is apparently struggling with poverty and drug addiction. Similarly, he mocks the man she is with for being a small-time drug dealer who is perpetually on the brink of getting caught. This interpretation is supported by the various examples of luxury and wealth that Kool G Rap cites throughout the song, such as his expensive clothing and record deal with a major label. By putting down these two individuals, Kool G Rap is asserting his own dominance and superiority.


Another possible way to interpret the song is as a commentary on gender and sexuality. The lyrics contain numerous slurs and insults aimed at both the woman and the man, mocking them for their appearance, behavior, and sexual orientation. Kool G Rap repeatedly refers to the woman as a "ho" and a drug addict, suggesting that she is unable to control her own life. He also mocks the man for being gay and for having a small penis. By using these stereotypes and insults, Kool G Rap is perpetuating harmful and oppressive attitudes towards women and LGBTQ+ individuals.
