Side Talk
9th Wonder & Buckshot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Listen, this is side talk
You side-step to the side walk
Or ride off with the boss
See it's y'all loss
If I ain't coming around
'cause I ain't fucking around
I'm gone

[Verse 1]
Listen up, bro
I'ma let yo know
Fuck it, hit when I spit, I throw body blows
Why? Every line is powerful enough
And now that you stuck
Next time you know, acknowledge the Buck
'cause Duck-down is still arround
We ain't going no-where
We iller now, fuck a rap line or a verse
We're contemplating on letting this nine off first
But 'ma just chill and just work
To murk niggaz ain't worth the jerk that coming along
With bitch niggaz like you, bird, hum along
I heard you making a song, but got no deal
Oh yeah, the record that you making so the cops don't squeal
You amazing like blocking O'Neal - Not for real
You amazing everytme you think you shopping a deal
With ya - mixtape of the year
On ya side of the desk of an A&R sipping a beer

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I chant 1-2-3
Let me know me if you're ready for me...lawwd
'cause if are, I'ma hit ya hard like Boa construct
You know it, it's Buck
This little nigga blowing it up
I ain't a killa
I am a vet
I am a threat
I am the reason that you sweat at night
Watch your neck
Disrespect ain't a part of my vocab
Ya know that
Step to me, get caught like a slow cab
No jab, just hooks and bars
Hooked the underground first right after I hooked them stars
Got niggaz in their cars bobbing their heads
Talking about - Buck ain't shit
You heard what he said, off with his mouth
I coulda told you, when you like act like a bird
You get kicked when you come around, stupid, back on the curb
Listen, A word is a word, but that can cause war
Next time, watch your lips or watch your jaw





[Chorus]

We're considering using our weapon first

But I'll just calm down and focus on my craft


To murk niggaz ain't worth the jerk that coming along
To kill people who are unworthy is not worth the effort


With bitch niggaz like you, bird, hum along
People like you who are weak and indecisive should just stay quiet and listen

On your side of the desk at a record company, with the A&R representative drinking beer


I chant 1-2-3
I'm counting down, getting ready to make a move


Let me know me if you're ready for me...lawwd
Tell me if you're really ready for what I'm about to do


'cause if are, I'ma hit ya hard like Boa construct
If you are ready, I'll come at you fast and strong

I'm not a murderer


I am a vet
I've been around a long time and I know what I'm doing


I am a threat
People should be wary of me

I'm the reason you're scared in your sleep


Watch your neck
Be careful, I'm coming for you


Disrespect ain't a part of my vocab
I don't use disrespectful language


Ya know that
You should already know that


Step to me, get caught like a slow cab
Challenge me and I'll trap you like a slow-moving taxi


No jab, just hooks and bars
I'm not playing, I'm coming at you with heavy blows in rap form


Hooked the underground first right after I hooked them stars
I first gained popularity with the underground hip-hop scene, and then became a mainstream success


Got niggaz in their cars bobbing their heads
I have fans who enjoy my music while driving


Talking about - Buck ain't shit
Some people are doubting my talents


You heard what he said, off with his mouth
Someone has been talking badly about me and they need to be silenced


I coulda told you, when you like act like a bird
I could have warned you, acting like a coward will only get you into trouble


You get kicked when you come around, stupid, back on the curb
You get punished when you come near me, so go back to where you came from


Listen, A word is a word, but that can cause war
Be careful what you say, because it can lead to conflict


Next time, watch your lips or watch your jaw
Next time, watch what you're saying or you'll get hurt


[Chorus]
Repeat of the chorus
