Whoa! (Whoa!) Whoa! (Yeah)
Aiyyo Tim man this the jump off right here man! (Jump off!)
Whoa! (Whoa!) Whoa! (Whoa!) Whoa! (It's Queen Bee nigga)
It's the jump off (Come on)
[Verse 1: Lil' Kim] (Mr. Cheeks)
I been gone for a minute now I'm back at the jump off (Jump off)
And back up before the hive let the pump off
In the graveyard is where you get dumped off
All we wanna do is party (Woo!)
And buy everybody at the bar Bacardi (Woo!)
Black Barbie dressed in Bulgari
I'm tryin to leave in somebody's Ferrari
Spread love that's what a real mob do
Keep it gangsta look out for her people (For her people)
I'm the wicked bitch of the east, you better keep the peace (Aiyyo!)
Or out come the beast
We the best still there's room for improvement
Our presence is felt like a Black Panther movement
Seven quarter to eights back to back with 'em (Back to back)
And I'm sittin on chrome seven times platinum
[Chorus: Lil' Kim & Mr. Cheeks]
This is for my peeps, with the Bentleys, the Hummers, the Benz
Escalades twenty three inch rims (Oh!)
Jumpin out the Jaguar with the Tims, keep your bread up
And live good, East coast West coast worldwide
All my playas in the hood stay fly
And if your ballin let me hear you say right (Right)
[Verse 2: Lil' Kim] (Mr. Cheeks)
It's Lil' Kim and Timbaland niggas shit ya drawers (Come on)
Special delivery for you and yours (Now)
I rep for bitches he rep for boys (Uh ha)
If you rep for your hood then make some noise
I got my eye on the guy in the Woolrich coat
Don't he know Queen Bee got the I'll deep throat?
Uh! Let me show you what I'm all about
How I make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth.... Ho!!!!
Shake up the dice, throw down your ice (What)
Bet it all playa fuck the price
Money ain't a thing throw it out like rice
Been around the world cop the same thing twice
Rub on my tits (Huh!) squeeze on my ass (Oooh!)
Gimme some uh!!! Step on the gas (Ah)
Pop the cork and roll up the hash (Roll it!)
You know what we about, s**, drugs and cash
[Chorus:]
[Verse 3: Lil' Kim] (Mr. Cheeks)
Enter the world of the Playboy pin up girl
Buttnaked dressed in nothin but pearls
You wanna meet me cause ya, know I'm freaky
And ya, wanna eat me cause ya, say I'm s***
Got a man in Japan and a dude in Tahiti
Believe me sweety I got enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy I got mad friends that's pretty (Hey!)

Shake your body body, move your body body (Body body)
On the dancefloor don't hurt nobody body (Body body)

We 'gone do this just like Big Poppa was here

The Jump Off by Lil' Kim ft. Mr. Cheeks is a song that speaks to the party lifestyle and extravagance of the rap game. The song starts with an energetic introduction that leads into the first verse, in which Lil' Kim establishes her presence in the game, having been "gone for a minute" but now "back at the jump off." She boasts about having goons in the club, ready to handle any issues that may arise, and about how everyone just wants to party and have a good time. However, she also warns that if anyone causes problems, they will get dumped off in the graveyard. Lil' Kim's lyrics show that she is a force to be reckoned with and that she commands respect from her peers.
The chorus is a celebration of luxury and the finer things in life. Lil' Kim and Mr. Cheeks shout out to all the people riding in Bentleys, Hummers, and Benzes with 23-inch rims, and those jumping out of Jaguars wearing Tims. They encourage people to keep their bread up (i.e. to maintain their wealth) and to live good, regardless of where they are from. The chorus ends with Lil' Kim asking those who are balling to say "right," implying that they are part of an elite group of successful people who are living their best lives.
