504 Boyz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
boy:yes this is mr. jones from moter credit can i speak to mr.miller please
little girl:dad some guy from moter credit wants you
master p:tell him im not here
little girl:my dad said he not here
boy:well tell him if he wants to keep on holding that benz he need to make a payment.
The lyrics from 504 Boyz's song "Commercial" depict a situation where a little girl picks up the phone and a man on the other end asks to speak to Mr. Miller. The little girl informs her father, Master P, that someone from "moter credit" is on the phone. Master P tells his daughter to tell the man that he is not there. However, the man on the other end informs the little girl that if Master P wants to keep his Benz, he needs to make a payment. This exchange highlights a common theme in hip-hop, in which rappers boast about their wealth and material possessions. However, it also highlights the idea that with wealth comes responsibility, such as paying bills and debts in order to maintain their lifestyle.
Moreover, the song "Commercial" is part of 504 Boyz's album "Goodfellas", which was released in 2000. The song features rappers Master P, Magic, Silkk the Shocker, and Krazy. The album was a commercial success, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and selling over one million copies. The song "Commercial" was not released as a single, but it received significant airplay and was a staple on hip-hop radio stations.
