Lyrics of today's generation

Ok, well, this stupid song came on TV the other day, and I mean, I'd heard about the lyrics before. We'd talked about them a school, but I'd never really looked into it. I'm not into this kind of stuff really.Anyway lo and behold! Try and decipher this! I'm not one to shy away from a challenge, so I thought I'd give it a go.

"Soulja boy I tell 'em"

I understand the singer/artist is here introducing himself to the audience. He goes on to say..

"Hey I got a new dance fo you all called the soulja boy"

Now he's introducing the new dance he's made up. Normal stuff, sure.

"(Yoooouuuu!)"

An exclamation of joy. This must be some pretty cool dance.

"You gotta punch then crank back three times from left to right"

Thats easy enough. If you know what it means to 'crank' I don't really see what's wrong with the 'ole hokey pokey.

"(Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh yeeeeaaaah!)"

Yet another joyful exclamation. This stuff's all the rage. Now we get to the chorus. He sings it twice, for emphasis.

"Soulja Boy Off In This Ho!"

This I don't really get. Soulja Boy has gone off somewhere, or is 'in' somewhere. Maybe some type of building?

"Watch me Crank It, Watch me Roll"

I guess this refers back to those new dance moves introduced earlier.

"Watch me Crank Dat Soulja Boy"

I think here, Soulja Boy is refering to himself in the first person. Doing part of his new dance. Or it could be that he's named the dance after himself and is now doing it.

"That Super Man Dat Oh!"

Did he just mention Superman?? WHY? Superman that what? ! You can't just not end a sentence, buddy. What did superman DO exactly, other than save the world and live undercover in Metropolis and what-not?!

"Now, Watch me You...

(Crank Dat Soulja Boy)" He repeats this four times. Yes, four. Therefore it must mean something pretty significant. But what? Watch me you.... you what? Honestly, unfinished sentences just drive me... BAH! I don't know if he's about to insult me, Superman, you, ANYONE!

"Soulja Boy Off In This OH!"

Soulja boy is in something, maybe that same building as before. And he adds an exclamation at the end of the statement. Because he can

"Watch me Lean And Watch Me Rock"

Something to do with dancing again. We're supposed to be watching.

"Super Man Dat Oh!"

Superman that WHAT? What is superman? Kryptonian? Strong? Alien? Cool? WHAT?!!

"Then Watch me Crank Dat Robocop"

Ok, now it just gets weird. Now, not only do we have inclusion of unfinished sentences, Superman and exclamations of joy, now ROBOCOP? Is he now 'cranking the robocop' as in, a new dance he's made up and named 'the robocop' OR is he telling robocop to watch him do his OTHER dance? Well, seeing as how Soulja Boy isn't in the habit of finishing his sentences, I guess we'll ever know.

"Super Fresh, Now Watch Me Jock"

I'll take the liberty to guess that 'Super Fresh' is a saying/exclamation. Like 'cool' or 'wicked' or 'totally awesome, dude!' And I don't know what it is to 'jock' so I can't explain it to you.

"Jocking On Them Haterz Man"

Yes, 'haterz' has a z. Jocking is obviously something you do to someone you like. Because 'a hater' is obviously someone that doesn't like you too much.

"When I Do Dat Soulja Boy"

Right, so he's 'jocking on the haters' as he's doing his little dance. Weird, but explainable.

"I Lean To The Left And Crank Dat Dance"

Ok. So we've established he likes doing the dance. And cranking.

"(Now You)"

A simple exclamation. He wants ME to do it.

"You Catch Me At Yo Local Party, Yes I Crank It Everyday"

Easy, he's just so popular that he gets invited to all the local parties, and does his little dance thing; everyday. Must be tiring.

"Haterz Get Mad Cause I Got Me some Bathing Apes"

WHAT?! Just WHAT exactly is he doing with bathing apes? This just takes EVERYTHING too far. WHY? WHY would you have bathing apes in you house? I don't understand! And why would someone hate you for it? EVEN IF YOU DID OWN BATHING APES.

"[Chorus x2]"

"I'm bouncin' on my toe Watch me super soak dat oh!"

Bouncing? On your TOE? how? And I know what it is to supersoak someone- with a water gun. Possibly the 'supersoaker' Why you'd sing about it is beyond me. And I REALLY don't know how to supersoak an exclamation.

"I'ma pass it to an Arab And he's gon' crank it up fo' sho'"

Is this racist? Why an Arab? And how can you be so certain that an Arab, or anyone for that matter, can 'crank it us for sure' especially as well as you must be able to do it. Seeing as how you dance that dance everyday.

"Haterz wanna be me Soulja Boy, I'm the man"

I don't really want to be you. But I don't think I hate you. I like being me. And I've heard other people say they're the man. You can't be THE man. here's too many. Like at the supermarket, people say to their little kids 'Give it to the ma, honey" so they don't run out the door without stealing their chocolate.

"They be lookin' at my neck Sayin' it's the Rubberband Man, man"

Who? And what's the rubberband man?! And WHY would THEY be saying that?!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE BATHING APES? WHY?!

"Watch me do it, watch me do it Dance, dance"

Watch you dance. Ok.

"Let get to it, lets get to it"

That's like 'break a leg people, we don't have all day!' right?

"Nope, you can't do it like me Doe, so don't do it like me"

If I can't do it like you, then WHY are you telling me not to? That would imply I already WAS doing it like you. BAH!

"Folks, I see you tryna do it like me Man that damn was ugly"

Well that's just mean. Can't blame a guy/girl for trying. Egotistical maniac.

"[Chorus x2]"

"I'm To Clean Off In This Oh! Watch Me Crank And Watch Me Roll"

Clean what? The building? Ok...? And watch you roll, or dance. Right.

"Watch Me Crank Dat Roosevelt Then Super soak That Oh!"

Superman, BATHING MONKIES, an Arab, Robocop, now Roosevelt? Why? How? Supersoak that WHAT? And once again, is this ANOTHER dance named Roosevelt, or is he really talking to the long-dead president?

"Super Soak That Oh! [x9]"

SUPERSOAK THAT WHAT?! WHY DO YOU HAVE BATHING APES?

"Watch Me Show Now Watch Me Gig"

Watch you perform a show, watch you perform a gig? After watching you perform your multiple DANCES? This guy must be pretty talented.

Basically just one question lingers. Why? Why bathing apes, why superman, why an Arab and WHY Roosevelt? Why the entire song?! These are the type of lyrics people are using today. They have no positive input WHATSOEVER into society. and are just a hinderance to anyone interested in English. Is it cool to be random? Did I miss something?! I mean, Bathing APES! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!

I mean, I really don't want to disrespect anyone, but there's always a bar or a line. And SOMEBODY crossed it.
