Tyler, The Creator is Okonma's most commonly used alias, and the one that both of his first two albums are credited to, but he has used several others as well, including Wolf Haley, Ace (or Ace Creator), and Young N***a, the latter of which was part of a prank on OFWGKTA's official site. Many other characters or alter egos and names are featured in his music, such as Tron Cat, a therapist called Dr. TC, and most recently, Tyler Baudelaire, the character from the 2021 album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST.
In 2009, Tyler self-released his debut mixtape B*stard as a free download off of the official OFWGKTA website. Two music videos were released for tracks off of B*stard, "VCR" and "French!," both of which were directed by Tyler (credited as Wolf Haley). The album is focused on dialogues between Tyler and Dr. TC, and it received generally positive reviews from critics and blogs alike.
After signing to XL Recordings in February 2011, he released "Yonkers," the lead single off his sophomoric album Goblin, which was released on May 10, 2011. The music video for "Yonkers" (directed by Tyler credited as Wolf Haley) won Tyler The 2011 MTV Video Music Award for "Best New Artist," as well as a nomination for Video of the Year (which lost to Katy Perry's "Firework").
Goblin, an album described as "dark," "monolithic," and "a natural sequel to B*stard," continues the sessions with Tyler's fictional therapist, with Tyler venting to Dr. TC about fame, message boards, critics, hype, expectations, media scrutiny, and the idea of being a role model. All of the production was handled by Tyler, save for "Transylvania," which was produced by fellow OFWGKTA member Left Brain.
Tyler's third studio album, known as Wolf, was released in 2013. Tyler alluded to several possible track names on his Formspring account, and he stated that the album would focus less on rapping and more on production. In an interview with DJ Semtex, he confirmed that he would handle all the production on the album, except for one song produced by Left Brain, the same approach that was used for Goblin. On February 14, 2013, OFWGKTA uploaded a video to their YouTube account, which included L-Boy skydiving and stating that on April 2, 2013. Tyler revealed three album covers via his Instagram. The first single from the album was released on February 14, 2013, titled " Domo 23" along with the music video which features cameos from Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Jasper Dolphin and Taco Bennett. On February 26, 2013, Tyler performed the songs "Domo23" and "Treehome95" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Tyler the Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Somethin' like (uh-oh)
I just cut some fresh lemons, where's the sugar?
Lemon in my 'ade, lemon in my ears, call 'em boogers
Rather six feet 'fore I'm ever seen with you niggas (hold up)
Yeah
Ridin' in, double-double R, that's that Cullinan (yeah)
Pullin' in that four hundred grand, I just ordered this (yeah)
Switzerland, Lake Geneva, where I spend my summer in (true story)
GOLF Le FLEUR, that's Gianno shoe, what I'm runnin' in
Earlobe look like headlights on a minivan (Gangsta Grillz)
I'm so motherfuckin' dead-ass, I need some Timberlands (woo)
I battle any man, Uzi Vert, don't think they understand (yeah, yeah)
Uh (skrrt, cool), double C on my feet
Double G on my freak (ooh), Louis V by my brick
She wan' kick it with me, she better eat it then leave (leave, whoa)
She try save all the plants but keep eatin' my meat
We can't see none of 'em, grow, she keep eatin' my seeds (woo)
Got a E and a B on the back of the CT
I'm done with the 12, got a V16
Uh, say the money comin' in, yeah, that's true
The more money I get, I don't wan' sex you
Can't think about the last time that I text you
It's probably when sidekicks had them belt loops
Sign my John Hancock on a bitch every time I check you
Just like a brand new Lamb', I wreck you, uh
So if it's mine, it's yours, woo, woo, woo
Ride to the dinner tapin'
Out of time and imagine her in the exit
Last year, more than what Google say my net is
I got cheddar with the chef in the tinted exit (like whoa)
Uh, uh, uh
It's the double P, I rock double C
Man, I run them beats like you run in cleats
Man, come to me, you want somethin' to see
This internally flawed, that's a double Vs
What troubles me is you couple me
With these subtle fleas tryna double league
Hornet trapped in the hive
Of a motherfuckin' bumblebee
They just got the closest picture of the fuckin' sun surface, that was us
Got the LaFerrari, park that bitch just for one purpose, catchin' dust
My Secret Service carry mops, you call 'em street sweepers, back you up
Tat' you up then add you up, then give you a cover like Adwoa
If the shit's fake, I don't respect it
It's clickbait and that's distaste like a shit shake
What a difference your wrist make when it's Richard-made
Hungry eyes tend to fixate like a empty stomach for a fish plate
Shit-faced, get this straight, this is truck, wheels, deck, grip tape
Ride to the dinner tapin'
Out of time and imagine her in the exit (why you even talkin' to us?)
Last year, more than what Google say my net is (God damn)
I got cheddar with the chef in the tinted exit
Uh, uh, uh (bitch)
The lyrics of Tyler the Creator’s “Juggernaut” are full of references to luxury goods and high-end brands, but also include elements of humor, criticism and self-reflection. The song opens with a request for sugar to add to freshly squeezed lemonade, a seemingly wholesome image that is juxtaposed with the line “Lemon in my ‘ade, lemon in my ears, call ‘em boogers,” which adds a touch of humor to the lyrics. The verse goes on to assert the singer’s distaste for being associated with certain people, stating that they would rather be six feet under than seen with them. This sentiment is repeated throughout the song in different forms, indicating a sense of elitism and a desire to distance oneself from anyone considered less-than or inferior.
The second verse contains references to expensive cars, shoes, and other luxury items, but also includes a line about the singer’s earlobes looking like headlights on a minivan, which is an example of the self-awareness and humor that is infused throughout the song. The verse also includes a reference to Uzi Vert, which may be a nod to the rapper’s own penchant for luxury brands.
The chorus is punctuated by the repeated phrase “Ride to the dinner tapin’,” which suggests a sense of constant movement and hustle. This is juxtaposed with the final verse, which touches on themes of authenticity, self-expression and creativity. The verse refers to the singer’s own flaws and vulnerabilities, as well as the criticism and pressure that comes with being in the public eye. The final line, “This is truck, wheels, deck, grip tape,” could be interpreted as a metaphor for the relationship between life and art, and the importance of staying grounded and true to oneself.

Somethin' like (uh-oh)

I just cut some fresh lemons, where's the sugar?

Lemon in my 'ade, lemon in my ears, call 'em boogers

Rather six feet 'fore I'm ever seen with you niggas (hold up)

Ridin' in, double-double R, that's that Cullinan (yeah)
Tyler is flaunting his wealth by talking about the Rolls Royce Cullinan that he's riding in.
Switzerland, Lake Geneva, where I spend my summer in (true story)

Earlobe look like headlights on a minivan (Gangsta Grillz)
Tyler uses this line to describe his earlobes, which are stretched to a size that is almost comical. He compares them to the headlights on a minivan and adds a reference to DJ Drama's signature 'Gangsta Grillz' sound effect.
I'm so motherfuckin' dead-ass, I need some Timberlands (woo)
Tyler is so serious in what he's saying that he needs some more serious shoes to walk in, which is why he asks for Timberlands.
Got a E and a B on the back of the CT

Tyler has moved on from people in his life who don't share his level of ambition or success. He doesn't even remember the last time he talked to them.
Sign my John Hancock on a bitch every time I check you

Got the LaFerrari, park that bitch just for one purpose, catchin' dust

What troubles me is you couple me
Tyler doesn't want to be associated with people who don't have the same drive or ambition as him. Being associated with them would be a problem for him.
Hornet trapped in the hive / Of a motherfuckin' bumblebee

Tat' you up then add you up, then give you a cover like Adwoa
Tyler's point here is that he's got so much money and power that he can take people who are nothing and turn them into something. He can give them a new look, like the model Adwoa Aboah.
Shit-faced, get this straight, this is truck, wheels, deck, grip tape

I got cheddar with the chef in the tinted exit
