Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Colostomy Bag” by Brotha Lynch Hung
“Colostomy Bag” by Brotha Lynch Hung is an aggressive rap song that paints a vivid and intense picture of life in the inner city and its struggles. The artist is putting himself in the shoes of someone who has gone through the pain and consequences of a lifetime of depression and violence. He reflects on the daily struggles of those who live in inner-city neighborhoods, and the choices they make to survive. He also looks ahead to his own mortality and the inevitability of death, referring to his own death with metaphor as a “colostomy bag” and likening it to the weight and burden of inner-city life. In the chorus, he reflects on how he has been forced to take a hard stance to survive, and it is only when he is gone that the world will realize the truth. By the end of the song, the artist has regained his sense of self-worth and strength, asserting his ability to overcome his situation and make something of himself.
