Janky
Maxo Kream Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For my niggas with convictions
Who ain't do it
Who ain't snitchin', locked in prison
Spreadin' noodles

For my niggas in the struggle
Goin' through it
They goin' through the struggle, mane
I'm tired of it
Seen some day one niggas change
They up to somethin'
They plottin' on me, actin' strange
I'm waitin' fo' it
They'll smile the day I'm in my grave
I don't trust nothin'
I thought I had some loyal bros
I was trippin'
Seen some real-ass niggas fold, tellin'
Snitchin' my mind on my money, mane
'cause theya take it
Now-a days can't trust a single soul
'cause they all janky

I used to set up bitch to rob
My daddy for a brick and
A rollie on his wrist and shot
His ass with the pistol
So I been used to get it
Till the fam start snitchin'
His own blood sister put him up in prison
My brother got hit with the TEC, in his yard
In his neck
When I catch the fuck nigga, I'ma kill him
Mama still goin' through the
Struggle with my sister
And my brothers, overtime
Workin' double or eviction
So I gotta cop it by
The bundle, fill the pot, make it bubble
Cut the cookie cleaner
Crumble in the kitchen
Tryna put my niggas on some money till they
Start movin' funny Everytime I turn around
They stealin'
Niggas ain't solid, fake like cut dope
Down since toddlers, daycare, jump rope
Had to rob my partner, had to get cutthroat
Trap got slow, me and juice sold soap
I used to sleep with no mattress
Eat noodles to manage, Me, Ju, Josh and Alice
Need clothes to go to school, so I slang pot
No Jordans, "2 for $89" Reeboks
I was 12 Chuck E cheese, playin' lil league
Robbin niggas, servin' fiends by 13
Became a grown man, it was overnight
I had nobody to guide me right
Went through the dirt then it start to rain
Came from the mud with some struggle pains
Cops took my shine, Puff Daddy, P diddy
Put me on TV like Ray Charles, Stevie
Blind the whole town, feds kick the door down
Organized crime, that's a 5 to 99
In court gettin' judged by a twelve whites
Who never had to struggle in
They God damn life

Skippin' school to serve my junkies
I was truant robbin niggas take they money
I was boostin' for all my niggas in the
Struggle goin' through it

They goin' through the struggle, mane
I'm tired of it
Seen some day one niggas change
They up to somethin'
They plottin' on me, actin' strange
I'm waitin' fo' it
They smile the day I'm in my grave
I don't trust no one
I thought I had some loyal bros
I was trippin'
Seen some real-ass niggas fold, tellin'
Snitchin' my mind on my money, mane
'cause theya take it
Now-a days can't trust a single soul
'cause they all janky

"The scene here is, well
Pretty accurate houston based rapper you see
Was just arrested for money
Laundering, delivering Marijuana
And organized crime that's 26




Year old Emekwanem Ogugua Biosah stage name
Maxo Kream"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maxo Kream's song "Janky" reflect the artist's experiences and observations of betrayal, struggle, and mistrust. The first verse addresses those incarcerated and falsely accused, expressing empathy for their situation. Maxo Kream acknowledges the reality that some people he considered close have changed and become suspicious in their behavior towards him. He is waiting for their true intentions to reveal themselves and no longer trusts anyone. The chorus repeats the theme of betrayal and being surrounded by people who cannot be trusted due to their dishonesty ("janky" is slang for untrustworthy or deceitful).


In the second verse, Maxo Kream reveals his own past involvement in criminal activities like setting up robberies and even harming his own father. He acknowledges the consequences of his family members snitching on each other and the struggles his mother, sister, and brothers continue to face. Maxo Kream expresses his determination to provide for them by engaging in illegal activities, which reinforces the cycle of betrayal and mistrust.


The lyrics as a whole paint a picture of Maxo Kream's surroundings, where loyalty is scarce, and people's actions are driven by self-interest. The mention of his own criminal activities and the pressures of poverty further highlight the struggle and desperation that contribute to a lack of trust in his environment.
