BOOM
M.T.V Galaxy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brown gal, brown gal, turn your shit down
You know America don't wanna hear your sound
Boom boom jungle music, go back to India
With your crazy shit, you're bumming up the area
Looking through your Instagram, looking for a pentagram
All I see is poor people, they should be on ghetto-gram
You don't get our underground, Bro-fest are overground
Fist pump, eat, hammer, even throw your dick around

Yeah you try to stick around do you do your bic around?
Let you into superbowl you tried to steal Madonna's crown
What the fuck you on about?
Think about goin to France, quelle heure est-il?
Its the time to do the terror dance
Eat, pray, love, spend time in the Ashram
Or I'll drone you, Kony 2012 you now scram!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.T.V Galaxy's song Boom convey a message of racism and cultural intolerance. The lyrics speak directly to "brown gals" and tell them to turn down their "jungle music" and go back to India. The use of the term "jungle music" is a clear indication of the negative stereotyping of certain cultures and their music. Furthermore, the song alludes to the idea that brown people are poor and should be on "ghetto-gram", again perpetuating negative stereotypes. The reference to Madonna implies that brown people are trying to steal from the white population when, in reality, cultural appropriation works both ways.

Overall, the song reflects the idea that cultural differences are a threat to society and should be suppressed. The lyrics promote an intolerance for different cultures and suggest that diverse cultures are not welcome in America. The use of drone strikes is a clear indication of the political tone of the song and the aggressive nature of the message. The song is disturbingly controversial and ignites a spark amongst those who promote unity and celebration of diversity.
