Never Broke Again

YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Bruce Wayne" finds the Baton Rouge rapper reaching for one of pop culture's most reliable symbols of tortured affluence. Bruce Wayne, of course, is the billionaire playboy who spends his evenings putting on a rubber bat suit and punching crime in the face, a lifestyle choice that suggests both vast disposable income and an alarming shortage of therapy. YoungBoy borrows the character as a metaphor for his own role as a wealthy, high-profile "man of the city," projecting strength and protection while quietly wrestling with emotional fallout and the constant hum of danger that seems to trail him like Gotham fog. The track lives squarely in YoungBoy's favorite thematic neighborhood, where domestic longing shares a fence line with survival instinct. He drifts between fantasies of stability such as picturing himself watching Mickey Mouse with his kids, and sudden pivots into mission-ready paranoia. It's a duality that mirrors Bruce Wayne's careful balancing act between gala-attending philanthropist and nocturnal vigilante, a tension also explored in Prince's "Batdance," which spliced together competing voices to reflect Batman's fractured psyche; and 50 Cent and Eminem's "Gatman and Robbin," where superhero imagery becomes shorthand for power and notoriety. Like those tracks, YoungBoy uses comic-book mythology less as cosplay and more as emotional shorthand for living two incompatible lives at once. The production team comprises: Brazilian-Egyptian rapper/producer Mally Mall. He came up as a producer in the mid-2000s with credits for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, then expanded into executive roles with his labels Mally Mall Music and Future Music. He has worked on records for high-profile artists including Justin Bieber ("Hold Tight") and Rae Sremmurd ("Powerglide"). Juppybeats (real name Jasper Cortez) is a young Australian producer who has become a regular behind the boards for the Never Broke Again camp. Two lower-profile co-producers: Hunnakid and Wonderyo. The video embraces full Gotham-adjacent aesthetics: black-on-black wardrobes, luxury cars gliding through dimly lit streets, and a general sense that everyone involved has sworn a personal oath to mood lighting. The imagery underscores the song's central theme: the glamour of wealth sitting uneasily beside the burden of constant vigilance. The "Bruce Wayne" video is credited to Lil Top Archives, a YoungBoy-affiliated visual brand/channel with no widely available personal or biographical information beyond its role hosting and branding his official videos. "Bruce Wayne" appears as the 16th track on YoungBoy Never Broke Again's ninth album, Slime Cry. Across the album's sprawling 30-songs, YoungBoy circles paranoia, heartbreak and loyalty. "Bruce Wayne" serves as the point where those themes crystallize into a full alter ego, merging the brotherhood implications of "slime" with the emotional exposure suggested by "cry."

(Mally)
(Who is Wonderyo?)
Huh
What you say, Blokk?
Only roll with bosses
I'm back up on it, nigga, let's do it
Ah, woo, ah

Patek vanilla, tell her, "Eat it up"
Shoot it out wherever, I ain't worried
I'm in here with these bitches, they ready to marry
Treat her just like them killers, ain't never desert her
I wan' go on a mission, she want me to lay in her house and dessert her
She been lovin' me, fuckin' me, behind my back, she thuggin' me
She'll never be only one, just for me and I know
I see all the things she do, she know that I don't approve
These niggas takin' looks at your body
Ho, really know I'm in love with you
I gotta finish the plan, got some people that's with me, I want 'em to win, woah
This shit no trace, this the way that I flex
I'ma board on a jet, then I'm gone in the wind (gone)
I'm with this shit, Backyardigan
I don't need the glove, got the Mike Jack hand (hey)

I don't wanna argue or fight with my friends
I wanna watch Mickey Mouse with my kids
All black on like Batman, Batman, is it you? Batman
I pull up in an all-black coupe with bat cams
They gon' throw out a fit when they see and they notice I'm fuckin' with you

I'm the man in the city, I'm holdin' them millions, they callin' me Bruce Wayne
In the Lamb' like I'm Bruce Wayne
Number one, I'm on top of the game
I'ma come through your city like rain
You know that I love you, I pray for your pain
All-black swag, movin' fast, Batman
I'm ready for trouble, I hit, I don't wait
I'ma put on my mask, I'ma put on my cape
Now get ready, I'm comin' to save the day

She wanna be my second wife
I want us both get high tonight
Come around for to fuck, cameras up and you hide
Bitch, I'm the man, I ain't wastin' my time
Forever, I got you, I'm up and so high
Take a look in your eyes, I could tell that you lyin'
I want you, baby, you know that I do

Why I'm scared? This bitch thinkin' 'bout havin' a child
Lick on her ear while I'm fuckin' her wild
She like what I'm doin', she love Baby Boo
She treat me just like I'm a child
She's pickin' up any time that I call
Liftin' me up every time that I fall
Lil' shawty so perfect, I wanna run out
I got demons inside me, trauma all on my sleeves
Devil's notice only thing I see
With my lean, you tried me
I can't sleep, I'm fucked over 'bout everything that you done told me
Yeah, hey
I'm in this bitch like I'm Robin, I got it
You wan' be a Joker, I tear up your body
I need you, I need you, don't forget about it

I'm the man in the city, I'm holdin' them millions, they callin' me Bruce Wayne
In the Lamb' like I'm Bruce Wayne
Number one, I'm on top of the game
I'ma come through your city like rain
You know that I love you, I pray for your pain
All-black swag, movin' fast, Batman
I'm ready for trouble, I hit, I don't wait

I'ma put on my mask, I'ma put on my cape
Now get ready, I'm comin' to save the day
