The lyrics to Teddybears feat. Mad Cobra's song "Cobrastyle" convey a message of power and dominance, as the singer declares he will press the trigger on his gun, rather than succumb to someone else's control. He warns others not to challenge him, and brags about the number of guns he possesses. The chorus is more focused on the singer's style, which he describes as "bom digi bom di deng di deng digigi," possibly referring to his dominance or aggression. He also warns against those who would try to undermine him, suggesting that he has enemies who pretend to be his friends.
Overall, the lyrics are aggressive and assertive, portraying the singer as someone who will not be intimidated or controlled. The use of Jamaican patois, as well as references to guns and violence, add to the sense of danger and intimidation. The chorus is somewhat more light-hearted, with the singer celebrating his unique style and possibly even poking fun at himself. However, it is clear that the dominant theme of the song is power, strength and control.
