Jay-Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's big pimpin' baby
It's big pimpin', spendin' G's
Feel me uh-huh uh, uh-huh
Ge-ge-geyeah, geyeah
Ge-ge-geyeah, geyeah
You know I thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
'Cause I don't fuckin' need 'em
Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good
But I don't fuckin' feed 'em
First time they fuss I'm breezin'
Talkin' bout, "What's the reasons?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Better trust than believe 'em
In the cut where I keep 'em
'Til I need a nut, 'til I need to beat the guts
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin' 'em up
Let 'em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks want to put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just be'cause you got good head, I'm a break bread
So you can be livin' it up? Shit I
Parts with nothin', y'all be frontin'
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin', never happen
I'll be forever mackin'
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I got no patience
And I hate waitin'
Hoe get yo' ass in
And let's ride, check 'em out now
Ride, yeah
And let's ride check 'em out now
Ride, yeah
We doin', big pimpin', we spendin' cheese
Check 'em out now
Big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin big pimpin' up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B
Yo yo yo big pimpin', spendin' cheese
We doin' big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin' big pimpin' up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B
Nigga it's the big Southern rap impresario
Comin' straight up out the black barrio
Makes a mill' up off a sorry hoe
Then sit back and peep my scenario
Oops, my bad, that's my scenario
No I can't fuck a scary hoe
Now every time, every place, everywhere we go
Hoes start pointin', they say, "There he go!"
Now these motherfuckers know we carry mo' heat than a little bit
We don't pull it out over little shit
And if you catch a lick when I spit, then it won't be a little hit
Go read a book you illiterate son of a bitch and step up yo' vocab
Don't be surprised if yo' hoe stab out with me
And you see us comin' down on yo' slab
Livin' ghetto fabulous, so mad, you just can't take it
But nigga if you hatin' I
Then you wait while I get yo' bitch butt-naked, just break it
You gotta pay like you weigh wet wit two pairs of clothes on
Now get yo' ass to the back as I'm flyin' to the track
Timbaland let me spit my pro's on
Pump it up in the pro-zone
That's the track that we breakin' these hoes on
Ain't the track that we flows on
But when shit get hot, then the glock start poppin' like ozone
We keep hoes crunk like Trigger-man
Fo' real it don't get no bigger man
Don't trip, let's flip, gettin' throwed on the flip
Gettin' blowed with the motherfuckin' Jigga Man, fool
We be big pimpin' spendin' cheese
We be big pimpin' on B.L.A.D.'s
We be big pimpin' down in P.A.T.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B
'Cause we be big pimpin', spendin' cheese
And we be big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
'Cause we be big pimpin' in P.A.T.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B nigga
Uh smokin' out, throwin' up, keepin' lean up in my cup
All my car got leather and wood, in my hood we call it buck
Everybody want to ball, holla at broads at the mall
If he up, watch him fall, nigga I can't fuck with y'all
If I wasn't rappin' baby, I would still be ridin' Mercedes
Chromin' shinin' sippin' daily, no rest until whitey pay me
Uh now what y'all know bout them Texas boys
Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise
We be big pimpin', spendin cheese
We be big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We be big pimpin' down in P.A.T.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B
'Cause we be big pimpin', spendin' cheese
And we be big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
'Cause we be big pimpin' in P.A.T.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B nigga
Jay-Z's song "Big Pimpin'" was released as a single in 2000 and features rappers UGK. The lyrics of the song talk about the lifestyle of a pimp, with Jay-Z stating that he "thugs" women, "loves" them, but ultimately "leaves" them. He proclaims himself to be a "pimp in every sense of the word" and keeps women around for his own pleasure but does not feel the need to take care of them. In the chorus, the rappers brag about their wealth and how they are "big pimpin'" - spending large amounts of money on cars, women, and drugs.
The lyrics of "Big Pimpin'" have been criticized for their objectification of women, with many calling out Jay-Z's depiction of pimp culture and the glorification of material wealth. The song's chorus is also notable for its use of a sample from an Arabic song called "Khosara", which has been controversial due to allegations of copyright infringement and cultural insensitivity.
Despite the criticism surrounding the song, "Big Pimpin'" remains one of Jay-Z's most popular tracks and a staple in hip-hop culture. It was also a commercial success, peaking at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The song's music video, which features Jay-Z and UGK partying on a yacht surrounded by women, has also become iconic in its own right.
Line by Line Meaning
It's big pimpin' baby
I am living extravagantly and enjoyably as a successful pimp
You know I thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
I use and manipulate women without any emotional attachment
Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good
I take my women out of their difficult environment and make them appear physically attractive
But I don't fuckin' feed 'em
I am not responsible for their well-being beyond their appearance and sexual services
Many chicks want to put Jigga fist in cuffs
Some women are not happy with how I treat them and want to fight me
Divorce him and split his bucks
Some women want to marry me for my money and then take advantage of me through a divorce
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I am emotionally disconnected and have no genuine care or concern for others
Hoe get yo' ass in And let's ride
Come on, woman, get into my car and let's go have some fun
Makes a mill' up off a sorry hoe
I am making a lot of money from exploiting vulnerable and desperate women
Livin' ghetto fabulous, so mad, you just can't take it
I am living a flamboyant lifestyle in the inner city, angering those who are not as successful as me
If I wasn't rappin' baby, I would still be ridin' Mercedes
Even if I weren't a famous rapper, I would still be driving an expensive car
Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise
I am enjoying my luxurious cars, smoking marijuana and being loud and obnoxious
