Overall Meaning

In the first few lines of "Repo Man" by SonReal, we see him questioning why everyone is looking at him. He has been on the sidelines for some time, but he is now back and in control. He refers to himself as the "repo man," in that he takes back what belongs to him. He feels like he has an old soul but is bringing a new flow to the game. He has made it his way and hasn't had the help of anyone else. He recalls a time when Rush told him not to stop until people start moving. SonReal is confident in his own abilities and is proud of all he has accomplished. He tells anyone who is talking negatively about him to "shut the fuck up", as he doesn't need their negativity.


In the next verse of "Repo Man," SonReal talks about his dominance in the music game. He references Hal Johnson, who was a Canadian TV host on a popular fitness show, "Body Break." SonReal says he's like Hal Johnson in that he doesn't need to wine and dine anyone to get ahead. He's also compared himself to Pharoahe Monch, who was a popular rapper in the 90s. SonReal is quick to remind people that he is the "repo man" and is not afraid to take back what's his. He is confident in his abilities and has the label like Dibiase, who was a professional wrestler. SonReal ends the verse by telling everyone he's got the talent and might just call up Jimmy Fallon to share it with the world.
