"Lumberjack" is a 2:18 minute braggadocios cut where Tyler the Creator addresses his haters by flexing about his fame and fortune. That's my nuance, used to be the weirdo Used to laugh at me, listen to me with their ears closed Used to treat me like that boy from Malcolm in the Middle Now I'm zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero Many thought Tyler was an eccentric oddity who would never make it in the music game. Now he's worth millions.
The song title comes from Tyler using the word "would" as a homophone for "wood." Call me lumberjack 'cause I wish a ni--a would race The popular expression "I wish a ni--a would" means to challenge someone to perform a disrespectful action. Here, Tyler is daring a hater to try to cut him down like a lumberjack fells trees.
Tyler released the song as the lead single from his sixth studio album, Call Me If You Get Lost. Although his last record, Igor, primarily featured singing, "Lumberjack" is all rapping.
