Piss On Your Grave
Travi$ Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I use your face as a urinal
Then do the same at your funeral
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
This one here for the executives, fuck you and all your relatives
Piss on your grave, piss on your grave
Piss on your grave, nigga behave, nigga behave, nigga behave
Us niggas, we can't behave
We mobbed on the pave
Got treated like slaves
Young niggas treated like slaves
This the moment I've been waiting for
This why I moved to Cali, stepped outside and got shaded for
Told momma, "Bitch get back in the door"
I've been coming up and down, a nigga can't take no more
Kamikaze over commas
Benjamins, dividends stuffed in my jeans
I can't fit in
Poppin' pills since droppin' Ritalins
Pop a penicillin, nigga you gotta get with it
My, my, my, my, look at little Scotty now
The same fuckers used to doubt
All preaching that they proud
I pull my zipper down and whip it out
Piss in your grave, piss in your grave
Turn this up teacher, play this in the third grade
In the third grade
Can't hide from the truth, yeah we're about to go ape
We 'bout to go ape, these streets is not safe
These niggas ain't playing
These niggas ain't playing
These niggas ain't playing
This for my fam
This for the fam, do this for the fam
Hop outta the Lamb', hop onto the 'Gram
What the fuck was you saying?
Piss in your grave, piss in your grave
Piss in your grave, I'll piss in your face
I'll piss on your bitch, I'll piss on your date
Fuck is you saying? Fuck is you saying?
Fuck is you saying? Me and La Flame
Is you not entertained?
The song "Piss On Your Grave" by Travi$ Scott is a rebellious and provocative track that describes a sense of anger, frustration, and empowerment that the artist feels against the establishment, and specifically against the corporate leadership that seeks to control and exploit young artists like him. The song starts with an obscene image of the artist urinating on the face of his adversary and repeats the phrase "Piss on your grave" multiple times as a metaphorical expression of his contempt towards those who have wronged and underestimated him. The artist then goes on to describe the hardships that he and his peers face in the music industry, comparing themselves to slaves and expressing their desire to break free and gain respect. The song ends on a triumphant note, with Travi$ and his fellow artist La Flame declaring their defiance and challenging anyone who opposes them to face the consequences.
One way to interpret the song is as a commentary on the power dynamics within the music industry, where executives and producers hold most of the control over the creative output of young artists who often struggle financially and emotionally. By using vulgar language and imagery to provoke a reaction, Travi$ Scott seeks to assert his own agency and show that he is not afraid to challenge the status quo. The song can also be seen as a critique of the culture of celebrity and the values that it promotes, such as materialism, narcissism, and hedonism. Travi$ and La Flame mock these values by portraying themselves as rebels who do not care about fame and fortune but rather about their own artistic vision and their relationships with their loved ones.
