Xplosion
B-Real Lyrics

Hello lord, it's me again, I just wanna make to love the whole globe
Addressing the divine, the singer expresses their wish for global love and unity

And all her girlfriends now don't that make ya mind move
Acknowledging the beauty and diversity of the world's inhabitants

Like smoke patterns, me on my way to Saturn wit a bomb
Drawing inspiration from the ethereal, the singer describes a metaphorical journey to an otherworldly destination

Numb be it view, or Saudi Shawty
Assessing the impact of violence and oppression on those subject to it

I figure before the first gun blast, they know who gone win
Commenting on the inevitability of certain conflicts and the power dynamics at play in them

Now won't that make us all fools
Reflecting on the futility of violence and the ultimate harm it brings to all involved

Like class clowns praying Private Ryan comes round
Contemplating the absurdity of war and the ways in which it is romanticized and glamorized

Sound travels at one thousand, one thirty, feet per second
Referencing a scientific fact in order to highlight the speed and urgency of the situation being discussed

Niggaz in the street they want it hurry
Describing the desperation and impatience of those caught up in dangerous and volatile situations

When niggaz start biting that's when 3000 starts to worry
Referencing a fellow artist, the artist warns that imitation and plagiarism can be signs of cultural decay

A little knowledge from the college of wizard Ray Murray
Paying homage to a musical collaborator and acknowledging the importance of learning from others

Answer quick do you know what desire is? "Huh?"
Challenging the listener's assumptions and understanding of basic concepts

Apparently not that's why you get what you got
Suggesting that ignorance and lack of knowledge can be impediments to success and happiness

Now answer this do you know what fire is? "Yeah"
Continuing the line of questioning in order to assert the importance of knowing basic facts

The body of hot, the motivator of pots
Providing a simple definition for a complex concept while simultaneously acknowledging its poetic and metaphorical potential

Snot, spit, shit are characteristics of release
Observing the messy and often unpleasant aspects of human existence

Ask your niece or nephew, you think we left you
Addressing the next generation and expressing concern for their well-being and future

What the future holds in its sweaty palms
Using vivid and tactile language to explore the unknown and uncertain nature of the future

Thank I'm finna vom? Ya move like ya mean it she'll cum
Switching abruptly to a crude and sexual reference, the singer challenges conventional notions of propriety and morality

Prom night might excite a down right fight like
Examining the fraught social and psychological dynamics of adolescent sexuality and romance

White blood cell to the common cold rebel
Drawing an analogy between the immune system and a type of dissident or activist

Night gets jealous of day play is no longer
Evoking a sense of melancholic nostalgia for lost time and youthful exuberance

The feelin gets stronger than Ammonia sticks inhale
Using a sensory metaphor to describe the intensity and urgency of the emotions being experienced

Look at the way you look at me I see it on your face
Confronting an adversary and acknowledging their hostility

All your hate emanates but you still hesitate
Pointing out the hypocrisy of those who claim to be righteous or moral while harboring resentment or malice

Cause you want inside of my head but don't know how
Recognizing the power and allure of the singer's creativity and imagination

To brainwash me to be a commercial clown
Rejecting the prospect of selling out or compromising in order to appeal to commercial interests

Fuck that I see the way you were,
Asserting the artist's confidence and authority in evaluating a situation or person

see the way you smirk I'm catching you where you work
Promising to confront or expose someone's true intentions or character

God only knows all the trouble that grows
Appealing to a higher power and acknowledging the depth and complexity of the world's problems

Deep beneath my soul dealing with you assholes
Venting frustration and anger at those who make life difficult and unpleasant

Can I blast those who point the finger at me
Threatening to retaliate against those who blame or accuse the artist of wrongdoing

Who criticize and talk shit so freely
Identifying the harmful and destructive nature of petty and malicious gossip

Fuck XXL you're a size too small
Rejecting the influence or authority of media or other cultural institutions

I should hire Eminem so we can kill you all
Using violent and extreme language to express anger and defiance

Whether you live to talk shit about the Real
Asserting the artist's authenticity and integrity in the face of criticism or doubt

Then kiss my ass in person how much you love the Hill
Challenging those who claim to be supportive or friendly to prove their loyalty and sincerity

I'm the outcast comin to blaze the grass
Embracing a role or identity as an outsider or rebel

Outlaw due to my life that's come to pass
Acknowledging the ways in which personal experience and history shape one's identity and actions

Dre, pass me the glass of wine
Addressing a fellow artist or collaborator and signaling a shift in tone or mood

So I can pour it over my homies grave and mine
Paying tribute to friends or associates who have passed away

For all those who fallen and answered when God was calling
Honoring the memory and sacrifice of those who have died in service of a higher calling or principle

Jump into my ragtop and get all in
Inviting others to join in or participate in the singer's world or lifestyle

I'm the bomb, planted in your car why you frozen
Asserting the artist's power and ability to control or manipulate a situation

Pop the tape in ignite the xplosion
Using violence and destruction as metaphors for artistic creativity and expression

The world is mine, the world is yours, the world is ours
Expanding the scope of the artist's claim to power and influence

The world is lost, the world is tossed
Expressing a sense of despair or hopelessness regarding the state of the world

With a one-two punch, B-Real and Andre dropped they verses
Celebrating the collaborative and creative process of making music

Your homeboy Daddy Fat Sax playin clean-up so it worsens
Acknowledging the role and contribution of other artists to a creative work

People and persons on the opposite teams oh, yes its curtains
Using sports metaphors to describe the competitive nature of artistic expression and exchange

No bullets burpin' oh just lyrically twerking
Playfully contrasting the metaphorical power of language with the physical force of weapons

Making a statement, when you freestyle
Highlighting the importance of improvisation and spontaneity in artistic expression

and your mind is in a free state
Emphasizing the connection between creativity and mental freedom or liberation

Is kinda hard to execute when you ain't feeling it that day
Acknowledging the challenge of sustaining artistic inspiration and momentum over time

Jumpin the gun and rushing your flow
Describing the pitfalls of impatience and haste in creative work

Babbling on the mikie like auctioneer, got the public's ears
Satirizing the showmanship and superficiality of some forms of popular music

Fucked up can't hear, Atlanta, Georgia where y'all at?
Poking fun at the tendency of some artists to misuse or distort language in their music

OutKast this Dirty South to death the Dungeon Family Camp
Paying tribute to a fellow group or collective from the artist's local music scene

Got this thang lit like stamps and nine-volt battery end caps
Using playful and imaginative language to describe the intensity and energy of the singer's music

Making that music that make your neck hurt
Asserting the physical and visceral power of the artist's music to move and excite listeners

And the beats that bother your back in my Cadillac
Celebrating the cultural and aesthetic appeal of certain types of music and cars associated with a particular lifestyle or identity

Six woofers and four amps, lo pro vogues on swole
Describing the features and accessories of the singer's car and sound system in enthusiastic detail

With the carriage lamps diamond tucked velour pistol in my lap
Elevating the image of the singer's vehicle and lifestyle to mythic or cinematic proportions

Come in peace but then xplode like booty traps
Playing with violent and explosive language in order to create a memorable and provocative image

We just can't be amazed
Repeating a confident and defiant refrain throughout the song to convey the artist's sense of strength and power

Even if you pull the pin from your hand grenade
Paradoxically insisting that even the most extreme or dangerous threats cannot intimidate or defeat the singer

And we some home-made bombs
Identifying with the image of the homemade bomb as a symbol of improvised, creative, and potentially explosive power

Finna blow right up in your face
Threatening the listener or adversary with the artist's explosive and destructive energy
