Eggs
wiki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young Caesar, the crowd pleaser
The town leader in a round theater
When the town needed most you assassinate my character
With all the shit that you say
Et tu, Brute?
Stabbed in the back, touche, threw your shade
But they wrote plays about me, name me after the fade
You tupee, you E. Willy, we D'USSÉ
You must be silly thinking he do ye
They knew the name, they knew he could spit him some game
Let him refrain, but sippin' rum on a train
Gotta lend me to get him a cane, you couldn't sit
Shit let alone live in this lane
Young Hovito he a sensei
I'm Tito Puente mixed with Big Daddy Kane
Do it for the couple cents made, getting my rent paid
And mi gente that's how we living these days

Notes, quotes, everything I wrote
The whole sculpt the pole, ordinary folk
Could be dead on the door, head on the bolt
Eggs getting scrambled, eggs getting poached
Either way you gonna feel the smoke, stupid
(Wiki got it coming this year)

There's some ugly motherfuckers in here (yo)

See the rooster on my chest? I'm cocky
Uno Papi Chulo, Cool-o got me obsessed
A raunchy honky menudo
Hardly floss, you could taunt me
But what the fuck do you know
Kudos? Nah, I need blue notes
My Jew bro taught me to be frugal
Blue had the loot on the brew though
You see the price? You actin' conceited
Lead a peacful life, Jesus Christ
Will it be he that reads my rights?
Will I see the light?
This will make it hard to sleep at night
Just keep it tight, keep going
Ain't no knowing, just some cheap advice I'm giving
What's a piece I'm getting all your fucking stream subscription
But I need it just as much as you need to listen
While I keep pretending that I make a decent living
I'm in the streets drinking
Or in the sheets hitting them cheeks, thinking

Young Caesar, the crowd pleaser
The town leader

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Eggs" by Wiki explores the rapper's position in society and his struggles to make a living as a musician. The first verse mentions "Young Caesar, the crowd pleaser," implying that Wiki sees himself as a leader in his town's music scene. However, he feels that his reputation has been attacked, and he has been stabbed in the back by "Et tu, Brute?" (a reference to Julius Caesar's betrayal). He compares himself to famous playwrights and boasts about his skills as a rapper. The chorus opens with the line "Notes, quotes, everything I wrote," suggesting that he has poured his heart and soul into his music. The second verse delves into his financial struggles, making allusions to being in the streets drinking and hitting on women. He mentions being in debt and needing to make a decent living, regardless of what others may think of his music.


The song's title, "Eggs," is used metaphorically to describe the ways in which the rapper's life is being influenced or controlled by outside forces. He is being "scrambled" by the pressures of the music industry and the need to make ends meet, and he is being "poached" by those who would take advantage of him. Regardless, he warns that those who underestimate him will "feel the smoke."

​​​​​​​@@lewytowar6860Rome's most memorable politician, Calvs Ivlivs Ceaser.
He was assasinated, and as Wiki said 'the round theater', that means Romes Coloseium.
Such a powerful punchline isn't it?
