He dismisses rap music and fires shots at the alt-right movement, suggesting that they are sensitive and easily offended. The chorus repeats, followed by Peggy saying "Biddy bye bye" which could be interpreted as a dismissive gesture towards his opponents or even a threat.

He rejects fans who are overly obsessive ("stans") and warns them to be cautious. Peggy then asserts his authority as the "Peglord," claiming that he charges people rent for his skills. He also mentions a pig, possibly referring to law enforcement or those who try to track him down. He questions the significance of being a god compared to following trends.

He references Aramark, a company that profits from prison labor, suggesting that he also makes money through his writing. The song ends with Peggy admitting that he is struggling, possibly referring to his mental or emotional state. This vulnerability is juxtaposed with his aggressive persona throughout the song, adding depth and complexity to his character. Overall, "Curb Stomp" is a song that showcases JPEGMAFIA's fierce and confrontational attitude, expressing his disdain for his critics while embracing his own power and individuality.
