Artist Information:

Social Club Misfits is the stage name for the hip-hop duo of rappers Marty and Fern. The duo combines two concepts: hip-hop music with contemporary Christian-themed lyric content. This makes their music engaging and thought-provoking. The two boys, hailing from Miami, Florida, managed to play in front of a big crowd of followers because of their uniqueness and positivity. They often narrate real-life issues, faith, and experiences in their personal lives through their lyrical content. Social Club Misfits have arguably released more than 10 successful albums, and they really rock in the live stage performances and content.

Annotations and Meaning:

The song opens with an infectious and repetitive hook, setting the theme of the song: identity and recognition.

"Who that is? Who that, who that is?"

The reiteration brings home the point of curiosity and interest in the identity and presence of the duo.

"Hold up / Who invited you to the party?"

The verse features a playful confrontation with someone's very presence in that space of the gathering. This sets a casual, somewhat confrontational tone.

"My bad, you good, I'm sorry / Got opps, don't trust nobody"

It is in this second line that the duo acknowledges their cautious approach to others while hinting at past betrayals with the need to stay on one's toes in this hip-hop world.

"I son these kids like Maury"

This is a clever line—'Maury, since the older Thug was claimin' that/.Paternity test on these fuck niggas'—in that it references the famous TV show hosted by Maury Povich, known for paternity tests.

"What you gonna do? / Do the jitterbug like I'm seventy-two"

At the moment Marty or Fern maybe jokingly suggests reviving an old dance demonstrating that they can still have fun and be an unexpected thing at any age.

"Catch me moonwalking cross that... / Hold up, I didn't bring the right shoes"

The line shows an odd contrast of confidence intermingled with a funny twist, which shows her approach to life's many challenges.

"Let's get this bread, I don't need Atkins"

They suggest with a play on words for making money (bread) while making fun of not having to be on the Atkins diet.

"I'ma full blown mess, I don't need napkins"

They embrace their imperfections and chaotic nature, clearly stating that they don't plan to clean up or change for anyone.

"You guys all talk, I'ma need action"

This line criticizes the kind of persons who only talk but do nothing: passive in comparison with the proactive nature of the duo.

"Okay, who that is? / They ain't know we could move like this"

It communicates that they are going to make people proud of their distinct style and keep on surprising them with moves in the second verse.

"I'm living legit, dodging two times six"

The use of the phrase "two times six" (12) could be trying to steer clear of police trouble.

"Big stepper, walk like I got the tool on hip"

It is a line full of self-confidence and readiness; it shows that they act with authority and purpose.

"Miami bass, that's vintage listen / Old school, you ain't know, pay attention"

The duo pays homage to the Miami bass classic sound and encourages their followers to appreciate that old-school influence.

"Pull up with the family to your function, we gon' slide up"

They highlight how much of a community and family they are and that they move as a unit.
The identity theme is also reinforced by the chorus and outro, which go forward to ask again and again, "Who that is?" to emphasize its presence and imprint a mark in your conscience. The playful lyrics of the song have deeper meanings; hence, it attests to the ability of Social Club Misfits to entertain and at the same time pass message.
