About This Track

'Show' by JPEGMAFIA is from the album 'Communist Slow Jams (Director’s Cut)' (2015). The lyrics frame a brash, self-justifying stance, with the speaker rejecting requests and presenting their own success as proof of authenticity. There is an exchange in the intro, as an unnamed voice challenges the attitude, and JPEGMAFIA answers with a blunt assertion that the point is earning money and getting an audience. The song’s posture is defiant and confrontational, capped by a dismissal of anyone who does not like what is being done, ending with the instruction to “turn the channel”.

"Show" is a track by JPEGMAFIA, from the album Communist Slow Jams (Director’s Cut), released 6th April 2015. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about JPEGMAFIA.

Lyrics

Show

[Intro: Unknown Artist & JPEGMAFIA]

I don't ask nobody for nothin'

I don't beg nobody to do nothing'for me

And they say: "Why you say that?"

I say 'Cause nigga, I make money"

I put heads in seats

That's why ain't ****** fake about me

If you don't like what I do, turn the channel

Watch the fake ****

Too much, too much

Put on a show

JPEG

Put on a show for me

[Verse 1]

D-E-V, I just want the (Dope)

Fuck my lease, I just want the (Dope)

No family, bitch I just got this (Dope)

Don't knock please, I'm tryna smoke this (Dope)

Dark skin girl, baby you're so (Dope)

Light skin girl, bitch you ain't that (Dope)

All I fuckin' have is my bitches and my (Dope)

So I'ma sing this song and hope my bitches think it's (Dope)

[Chorus: Lawna Dell Rae]

Let me put on a show for you, Daddy

Let me put on a show for you, Daddy

Let me put on a show for you, Daddy

Let me put on a show for you....

[Verse 2: JPEGMAFIA & Cutty Ranks]

These pussy niggas on a warpath

Fucking around with JPEG, (Six million ways to die) you'll get six shots to the head

Young nigga shared no tears for the feds

Black Oswald, bitch I came for the head

No tame thoughts I'm a maverick

All these hits, I'm a addict (Damn)

Communist tactics, youth

Got it backwards, niggas too passive

25 years, shed a tear for a savage

Loaded AR, put the case to a Catholic

Fuck religions

And fuck the system

Nigga, White Jesus never did shit for me

Now let's put on a show for these Christians (We have to review-)

Voice of the voiceless

Fuck Phil Brooks, nigga I run shit

Bare arms on a suspect

Your limbs too short to reach for this gun, bitch

Bibles and convicts go

Hand in hand like crackers and conflict

Water for chocolate

Compress me or check me

My passion is profit, nigga

Now let's put on a show, you're gonna put on a show for me, yeah

You're gonna put on a show, you're gonna put on a show for me, yeah

You're gonna put on a show, you're gonna put on a show for me
