The lyrics of Lil Jon & Ice Cube's song Real Nigga Anthem are a call to vigorous action and defiance toward those who stand in the way of being a true "real nigga." The song's opening features Lil Jon instructing listeners to put up their middle fingers when their city or state is mentioned, signaling a sense of pride and aggression. The song features repeated expletives and confrontational language throughout, indicting those who act fake or cowardly, and glorifying those who are genuine and fearless. The chorus "Mothafuck that nigga! Mothafuck that bitch!" encourages listeners to rebel against those who do not deserve respect.
The lyrics demonstrate a complex and controversial set of attitudes toward Black masculinity and what it means to be a "real nigga." On one hand, the song celebrates strength, courage, and authenticity, calling out those who don't fit the bill. On the other hand, the song's aggressive language and staunch insistence on being "real" suggest a narrow definition of Black masculinity that is rooted in violence and domination. The song's imagery of guns and violence, combined with its prideful regionalism, also reflect a set of cultural signifiers associated with hip hop in general, which carry political and social connotations about power and representation.
