[Intro: Fat Joe]
Owwwwww!!!! Yeah! My niggaz
Throw your hands in the air right now man
Feel this shit right here! Scott Storch nigga
Yeah Khalid I see you nigga
Show Big Pun love! Uh! Yeah! Uh! Yo!

[Verse 1: Fat Joe]
I don't give a fuc* about your faults or mishappens nigga
We from the Bronx, New York, shit happens
Kids clappin, love to spark the place
Half the niggaz in the squad got a scar on their face
It's a cold world and this is ice
Half a mill for the charm, nigga this is life
Got the Phantom in front of the buildin, Trinity Ave
Ten years been legit, they still figure me bad
As a young'n - was too much to cope with
Why you think? Mu'fuckers nicknamed me Cook Coke shit Shoulda been called Armed Robbery
Extortion, or maybe Grand Larceny
I did it all, I put the pieces to the puzzle
Just as long, I knew me and my peoples was 'gon bubble
Came out the gate on some Flow Joe shit
Fat nigga with the shotty was the logo kid!

[Chorus: Fat Joe]
Said my niggaz don't dance we just pull up our pants
And do the rockaway,
Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back
I said my niggaz don't dance we just pull up our pants
And do the rockaway,
Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back
(Come on!)

[Verse 2: Remy Martin]
Are to the Eazy, M to the Wizzi
My arms stay breezy, the Don stay fizzi
Got a date at 8, I'm in the 7-40-fizzive
And I just bought a bike so I can ride till I die
With a matchin jacket, 'bout to cop me a mansion
My niggaz in the club, but you know they not dancin
We gangsta, and gangstas don't dance with boogies
So never mind how we got in here with burners and hoodies
Listen we don't pay admission and the bouncers don't check us
And we - walk around the metal detectors
And there really ain't a need for a vip section
In the middle of the dance floor reckless, check it
Said he - liked my necklace, started relaxin
Now that's what the fuc* I call a chain reaction
See "Money Ain't a Thing" nigga, we still the same niggaz
Flows just changed now we bout to change the game nigga

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3: Fat Joe]
Now we living better now, Gucci sweater now
And that G4 can fly through any weather now
See, niggaz get tight when you worth some millions
This is why I sport the chinchilla to hurt they feelings
You can find Joe Crack at all type of shit
Out in Vegas front row to all the fights and shit
If Five-o boy come, then they'd proudly squeal
Cause half these rappers they Blow like Derek Foreal
If you cross the line, damn right I'm 'gon hurt ya
These faggot niggaz even made gang signs commercial
Even Lil' Bow Wow throwin it up
B2k crip walkin like that's what's up!
Kay keep tellin me to speak about the Rucker
Matter of fact, I don't wanna speak about the Rucker
Not even Pee Wee Kirkland could imagine this
My niggaz didn't have to play to win the championship, come on!

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro: Fat Joe]
Ha! Ha! Yeah! (Can you hear me?!)
Bronx, bx borough, Terror Squad, uh (Ha!)
Big Pun forever, Tone Montana forever
Uh! Yeah! Streets is ours, come on




Nah man, it ain't never gon stop
Search Raul jb, Fat Ant come on Uh

Overall Meaning

The song "Lean Back" by Terror Squad is a hiphop classic that was released in 2004. The intro of the song starts with Fat Joe introducing Scott Storch, who produced the song, and Khalid who appears to be in the studio with them. Fat Joe then proceeds to pay tribute to the late rapper Big Pun.


The first verse by Fat Joe addresses the grim reality of coming from the Bronx, where violence and hardship are a way of life. He talks about how many members of his crew have scars on their faces and how living in a cold world is the norm. The second part of the verse highlights his criminal past, where he talks about the different illegal activities he did, and how he worked to build his success with his team.


The chorus is a call to let loose and party but Fat Joe makes it clear that his crew does not dance. Instead, they do the rockaway and pull up their pants, showing off their gangsta bravado. Remy Ma takes over the second verse and she talks about her flashy lifestyle and how her crew never dances with "boogies". She also mentions how they do not get checked going into clubs because they have "burners and hoodies".


The final verse by Fat Joe boasts about his wealth and success. He talks specifically about the envy he receives from people who are not in his caliber. He calls out rappers who commercialize gang signs and compares them to gangsters who are not really about that life. The song ends with a few adlibs from Fat Joe calling out his hood and shouting out his fallen and surviving soldiers.
