JPEGMAFIA's song "Rock N Roll Is Dead" is a highly energetic and aggressive track that delves into the artist's rebellious and confrontational nature. The lyrics depict a sense of rebellion against societal norms and a disregard for authority. The song opens with Big Daddy Hoffa, a character created by JPEGMAFIA, expressing his readiness and armed state with a Kimber T Max 2.45 and a 1911 gun. He asserts his dominance and proclaims his intention to take control. As the song progresses, JPEGMAFIA rejects societal expectations and embraces a violent and fearless attitude. He talks about carrying a .45 gun discreetly and using it aggressively as a means of asserting power. The lyrics also mention beating up individuals, including bloggers, and taking pleasure in their suffering. The repetitive lines "Gone with the sauce, Got the .45 tucked in the bag" and "Hit 'em with the hawk, Naw fuck it dawg, Whip 'em with the strap" emphasize the artist's readiness for violence and confrontation. He strongly protests against the alt-right movement and promises to retaliate against anyone who poses a threat. The chorus of the song proclaims that the artist has been on a journey, touring and gaining success. He claims to have ended rock n roll and achieved a high score.

In the latter part of the song, JPEGMAFIA boasts about his sexual conquests, implying that he can easily seduce and discard women. He showcases a lack of remorse and a disregard for emotional connections, reveling in a promiscuous and self-indulgent lifestyle. The track concludes with a plea for escape from pain, questioning how many material possessions or distractions it would take to ease this suffering. Overall, "Rock N Roll Is Dead" reflects JPEGMAFIA's rebellious and confrontational persona, rejecting societal norms and embracing violence and chaos as a means of asserting power and control.
