Pulse
The Ju Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of my n*ggas got a, pulse
& These days it's unlikely
Cause when the cops be roundabout they killing n*ggas ISIS
Like we invest, don't deserve the best,
But we up in your shit like follicles when lice infest
Fuck correct, it's about colors your skin
Possess so I don't live by guidelines of the oppressed
Aren't we all the same only difference is by the name
Sí, yes, like a navigation system difference from a GPS
Need some added rest from the war I congress
So I write how I feel to release racial stress
Like I said in your shit,
I'm a demon n*gga, and yea The Ju got you possessed
And with talking about flows,
Yes my n*gga, this here is one on my fucking best
At this point I know I am the fucking best,
Dare a n*gga to stand up and say he object
Now that's a bet
Uber me a jet
Or matter fact
Should I stunt on n*ggas in canary vets
Smoked, outer windows rolled up be color of the jet
And nah I ain't talking no flying shit I
Know I'm spazzing again with a maggot shit
Snapping on shit like a yelling bitch cause
Every bar should be on some get signed shit

Blowing smoke like dust my n*gga
All of my n*ggas got pulses my n*ggas
Show me the culprit my n*gga, 12 killing n*ggas off impulses my n*gga
My hands up please don't shoot me my n*gga
All of my n*ggas we Gucci my n*gga
See through you like nooses my n*gga
Cause they see n*ggas strangely fruity my n*gga

Blowing smoke like dust my n*gga
(Gas gas)
All of my n*ggas got pulses my n*ggas
(All of my n*ggas)
Show me the culprit my n*gga, 12 killing n*ggas off impulses my n*gga
(They killing us n*gga)
My hands up please don't shoot me my n*gga
(Don't shoot me my n*gga)
All of my n*ggas we Gucci my n*gga
(We Gucci my n*gga)
See through you like nooses my n*gga




Cause they see n*ggas strangely fruity my n*gga
(I see through you my n*gga)

Overall Meaning

The Ju's song "Pulse" speaks to the experience of being Black in America, particularly with regards to police brutality and systemic racism. The opening lines "All of my n*ggas got a pulse / & These days it's unlikely" immediately bring attention to the prevalence of police killings of Black people, suggesting that having a pulse is becoming a rare phenomenon for Black people due to police violence. The following lines "Cause when the cops be roundabout they killing n*ggas ISIS" further draw comparisons between police brutality and terrorism, highlighting the fear and violence that Black people face as a result of the police.


The lyrics also touch on themes of racial inequality, with lines like "Fuck correct, it's about colors your skin / Possess so I don't live by guidelines of the oppressed." Here, The Ju is saying that the color of your skin is more important than whether or not your actions are "correct," implying that racism and prejudice continue to influence the way people are treated in society. The song's use of the word "nooses" is also significant, as it is a symbol of lynching and racial violence that has been used against Black people throughout history.
