Ampichino expresses his disdain for his enemies, suggesting that associating with them will lead to death or the end of their relationship.

He pays homage to fellow associates and members of his crew, mentioning their names and showing respect for their presence. He also references the pleasure he gets from being intimate with the wife of a powerful kingpin, highlighting the materialistic nature of their relationship.

In the chorus, Ampichino emphasizes the woman's role as the "dopeman's bitch" and asserts that she is simply there to fulfill his desires and benefit from his lifestyle. He warns others against trying to step into his dream or kingdom, dismissing them as insignificant compared to his position as the "dopeman."

The second verse starts with Ampichino proclaiming his own worth and dismissing his partner as just the "dopeman's bitch." He boasts about driving expensive cars and turning a small quantity of drugs into a substantial profit. He refers to himself as a drug dealer and makes derogatory remarks about his partner's desires to play with her breasts, implying that his pursuits are more substantial.

Ampichino touches on the concept of loyalty in the drug game, stating that no one should question his loyalty as he bags up cocaine. He mentions the influence drugs have had on his life, suggesting they have led him back to his old self.

He briefly switches to a sexually explicit tone, describing his sexual prowess and ability to please a woman. He brags about teaching her how to cut drugs and dismisses her by suggesting he could easily pick her up at a bus stop, further highlighting the transactional nature of their relationship.

The verse ends by restating his distrust of women and his commitment to the "dope boy" lifestyle. He mentions traveling back and forth across the bridge to Frisco (likely referring to San Francisco) and the lucrative nature of the drug trade, with hoes (women) questioning the legitimacy of their possessions.
