WHATAROCKSTAR Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
“[Census, what you cooking?[” is a playful line where Dro Kenji is addressing someone, likely a producer or a friend, asking what they are working on or creating. It’s like a casual, fun intro to the song, setting the tone for what’s coming next.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Dro Kenji talks about his success, describing how he makes money both on the road and back home. He mentions having so much money that he doesn’t need to rely on dates or relationships for validation. Despite all the fun he’s having, he says he doesn’t want to enjoy it without someone special by his side. He also reflects on a brief encounter with a woman in London, but now she’s constantly blowing up his phone, and he feels the need to block her to keep his peace. He then shifts to talking about love and how he’s emotionally overwhelmed, claiming he could write millions of songs about it, but still struggles to get through to the person he cares about. He’s feeling jaded, disconnected from reality due to substances, and expresses frustration with the way things are, even though he’s living the high life. It’s a mix of fun and emotional complexity.

[Verse]
In this verse, Dro Kenji talks about turning to substances like codeine to cope with his feelings, saying that life feels better when he’s high. He admits that when he’s in this altered state, his emotions become more intense, especially when he looks into someone’s eyes, feeling a spark like a hundred thousand fireflies. However, he recognizes that he’s emotionally distant at the moment, “gone” and not fully present. He’s trying to escape or numb the pain he’s feeling by withdrawing and indulging in the high. He imagines a better situation where he could take the person he cares about to a peaceful and beautiful place, away from the chaos of his current life, but for now, he’s stuck in his own mindset.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing Dro Kenji’s inner conflict. He acknowledges the success, money, and the fun life that comes with being a “rockstar,” but also reveals that despite the fame and indulgence, there’s a deeper desire for a meaningful connection. The phone calls from temporary lovers and his emotional detachment show how hollow the fame can feel without someone genuine by his side. He’s caught up in this cycle of partying, distractions, and substance use, all while longing for more substance in his relationships. This reinforces the duality of his life—one of fame and fleeting pleasures, but also a sense of loneliness and yearning for something real.
