Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't got no right to be sad
Ain't got no right to be hurting
Cry me a mufukkin river
Really you should be glad
Check
You grew up in a fucking castle
You traveled all of the world before wiping your asshole
You a spoiled brat
We don't want that
Lemme get the bat
I'm bout to give you a reason to
Cry me a mufukkin river
Ain't got no right to be mad
Cry me a river
Ain't got no right to be mad
Who the fuck are you to go running 'round whining like a tad
When you got kids growing up knowing daddy's dead
Boy better straighten your head
Young Franky got that 96' monnaie ah yea
Jfeel comme Ricky quand je Shake mon Bon Bon
Rappa pom pom
Sur le bass drum
Pis la bass drop
Mais là j'entends pin pon
Y'a le feu dans place
Better save your ass
Better get a glass of water pour l'eteindre
Moitié vide ou moitié plein, huh
Ah pis fuck it lance de l'huile
Si t'es real
Bande de Gros Bonnets, baby on s'en va brûler la ville
The lyrics of "96" by Wilson's T.O.B.A. Band are a scathing social commentary on privilege and entitlement. The chorus, "Cry me a river, ain't got no right to be sad, ain't got no right to be hurting, cry me a mufukkin river, really you should be glad," rebukes those who complain about their problems when they have had a life of privilege and ease. The song also tackles the issue of inheritance and nepotism, as highlighted in the lines "You grew up in a fucking castle, colors pastel, you traveled all of the world before wiping your asshole, you a spoiled brat, we don't want that". The singer of the song seems to be fed up with the entitlement of the privileged and is about to give them a reason to cry.
The song also touches on issues of growing up without a father figure, as evidenced in the line "When you got kids growing up knowing daddy's dead, boy better straighten your head". The song concludes with a warning to those in power that their arrogance and entitlement will not be tolerated for long, as the chorus changes to "Better save your ass, better get a glass of water pour l'eteindre, moitié vide ou moitié plein, ah pis fuck it lance de l'huile, si t'es real, bande de Gros Bonnets, baby on s'en va brûler la ville" (Better save your ass, better get a glass of water to extinguish the fire, half empty or half full, ah, fuck it, throw some oil, if you're real, big shots, we're gonna burn down the city).
