Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soulja Boy's infamous song "Crank That" are a mix of repetition and boasting about his dance skills. The song starts with the catchy line "Soulja Boy off in this hoe" which is a reference to him being present in the music scene. He then proceeds to ask his audience to "watch me crank it" and "watch me roll" which essentially means to watch him perform his signature dance move. Throughout the song, he repeats the chorus "Now watch me yuaa! (crank dat Soulja Boy)" several times, which is a call to action for his listeners to attempt the dance move themselves.


The lyrics then take a turn as he raps about "supermanning that hoe," which has caused controversy as it has been interpreted as a sexual act. However, Soulja Boy has stated that the term means to ejaculate on someone's back and then throw the bedsheet over them like a cape, essentially "supermanning" them.


Overall, the lyrics to "Crank That" are simple and repetitive, but the song has remained a popular dance anthem since its release in 2007. The combination of the catchy beat and signature dance move has made it a hit in clubs, parties, and even sporting events.

Underrated comment




Edit: The sheer amount of replies I've gotten saying how this is overrated and shit is literally killing me on the inside. Do you think 4 months ago when I originally wrote this comment that there was 14k likes and it hasn't changed? Because that's absolutely wrong, this comment literally had like 56 likes at the time.
