Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Lionrock's song Rude Boy Rock are an invitation for the listeners to pay attention as a new style of music is about to be introduced. The term "skank" refers to a genre of music popular in Jamaica that is characterized by a guitar riff played on the offbeat. The song is encouraging people to be alert and aware of their surroundings, to wake up and take notice of the societal issues that affect them. It is also about standing up to authority and resisting oppression.


The song's title "Rude Boy Rock" is a reference to the subculture of the same name that emerged in Jamaica during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Rude boys were known for their rebellious attitudes and distinctive style of dress, which included sharp suits and pork-pie hats. They were seen as a threat to the established order and were often harassed by the police.


The lyrics of the song are a call to action, urging people to resist the forces of oppression and stand up for their rights. It is a song that speaks to the power of music as a tool for social change, and the importance of unity in the face of adversity.
