The lyrics of V.A. mixed by DJ JET BARON's song PRIDE seem to be a tribute to American culture and values, celebrating them with a defiant attitude. The song starts by listing iconic American brands and figures such as Johnny Cash, Jack Daniels, Bill Gates, and the NRA, and then continues with references to popular culture landmarks like Disneyland, JFK, or Mickey Mouse. The chorus repeats the message that the singer is not selling out, but buying in, acknowledging that even though commercialism is a reality in America, it doesn't make them less American.
The central message of the song is also conveyed in the lyrics "I am what you fear most, I am what you need, I am what you made me, I am the American dream." Here, the singer is claiming that they embody the American dream and that what people fear and need about it is contradictory. They are, at the same time, proud of their identity and rebellious, as the repetition of the phrase "welcome to the pride" suggests.
The song's lyrics invite the listener to embrace those values, celebrating their strength and resilience. These traits are emphasized in lines such as "only the strong survive," "I've got the scars to prove it," or "I've never favored weakness," underlining the idea that being American is not just about material possessions or a superficial lifestyle but embodying a state of mind and a spirit of resistance.
