Drunk like 20 white boys in the
Back of a pick up truck
With hockey pucks and
Skateboards on their way to
Woodstock
Leave home the glock, and
Have a gun the size of a black
Hole
Shoot planets, don't get frantic
Throw your hands up in the
Air, don't panic
Supreme Arm Leg Leg Arm
Head, Wu-Tang Clan as tight as
Strong dreads

Shame on a nigga who try to
Run game on a nigga
Shame on a nigga who try to

Fuck his ass up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of System of a Down's song, "Shame on a Nigga," talk about the consequences of trying to deceive, cheat, or mess with the wrong person. The phrase "shame on a nigga" is a warning and a threat, suggesting that if someone tries to play or manipulate the singer, they will face brutal consequences. The song also touches on issues of race, using the term "nigga" as a form of self-empowerment and symbolic language for black unity. The lines "who fuck round with the trigger" and "come wit that ol' loco style from my vocal" also hint at the theme of gangster or street-related violence, menace, and aggression, using coarse and confrontational language to show a tough and bold attitude towards life.


Moreover, the verse "Drunk like 20 white boys in the/ Back of a pick-up truck/ With hockey pucks and skateboards on their way to Woodstock" refers to the relaxed and free-spirited lifestyle of the hippie movement, which often involved smoking weed, getting drunk, and attending music festivals like Woodstock. The song suggests that even in a peaceful and friendly environment like this, someone could still get hurt if they challenged the wrong person. Finally, the song's last parts use a lot of Wu-Tang Clan's inspired slang words and phrases like "Arm Leg Leg Arm Head," referring to the four letters in the word Allah in Arabic, and "Tiger verses Crane," a reference to martial arts techniques, to exalt the idea of superiority, power, and wisdom.
