Featuring eminem and b real

Waho , hahaha
Guess who's back
Mommy , we're home
Say hello to my little friends , dj muggs , soul assassins , cypress hill
Everybody , put your hands where my eyes can see
Everywhere we go people know that we roll deep as fuck , forty fifty samoans , they knowin´ when d-bo was
50 , tweezy , obie there won't be no hoe in us , they pop shit like they gon´ do shit but no one does
From new york down to texas , back up to los angeles , we've changed the way we move so man up if you can't adjust
You may end up gettin´ rushed by too many to handle us , it's funny I guess money does have its advantages
And it isn't that we just think that we can't be touched , it's not like we're just feelin´ ourselves that much
It's just , that if someone ever does put us in the clutch , we just know that y'all ain't gon´ be the one who's gon´ do it
Cause first of all you're pussy and everybody can see that , you fuck around get caught in a spot that you shouldn't be at
That you got no business being in , we ain't even gon´ be in it , no one's gonna hear nothin , no one's gonna see this shit
And they'll be in and up out of it , them boys is bout it , bout it , the noise from (? ??) Be drowned out by the crowd
And you'll be layin´ on the ground gettin´ trampled by people dancin´ , till the club closes and clears out
And that's when they see you flatened , nobody saw it happen , all cause your jaws are flappin´
And you couldn't stop yappin´ and took it past rappin´ , it ain't about the music no more , it's about tryin´ to show off
And it feels like any minute the bomb is about to go off

Shit's about to change , cause we ain't playin´ no games
We ain't budgin´ neither are they , we ain't sayin´ no names
Shit just ain't the same , when the k's get to scream
Hip hop is in a state of 911
It ain't about hip hop , cause those days are gone
It ain't about tryin rip shots , to get props no more
It's about tryin´ not to get popped , and get dropped to the floor
Cause hip hop is in a state of 911

Step off my holster cause shit it's gettin´ serious , all these drugs you be fuckin´ with make you delirious
Thinkin´ you coming with heat , yo son I'm curious , how long are you gonna hate us and judge us and jury us ?
Some people can never fade us , that make us so furious , mistake us for fakers , homie we great but glorious
We livin´ for real and others just makin´ the stories up , allusions are broken , so live it up , you corny fucks
If you take a fuckin´ minute to think about what you've done , when you stood against the gangsta who live and die by the gun
Got a hot one , sprayin´ you bitches till there is none , I'm like a rolling stone homie , I got you under my thumb
You silly little bitches can end up right up in ditches , we cut you and give you stitches , for envy and all my riches
Your game's just like a midget , you're clockin´ a small digit , dealin´ with the giant goliath , people that's how we live it , c'mon

Uh , gangsta gangsta who come to pay you a visit , on this shit you call hip hop , this function is where did it
When I put it in motion , my focus is gettin´ branded , my appetite for destruction is blasted because I said it
Got you stumblin´ for cover , this music dyin´ in numbers , but you wouldn't pause and wonder , admittin it's all glamour
When you enter the business you thinkin´ you runnin shit , you witness that funny shit , your bitches they ain't shit
We gangstas we blast first , ask questions later , all these imitators parading like they some playaz
Tryin´ to save hip hop the task is somethin greater , cause we old fashioned coded with loyalty motivaters




Get caught , I'm not tellin´ , or more like killin´ not caring , I'm ridin´ a gangsta feelin´ , no fearing when gangstas dyin´
I'm in a full circle with homies that supposed to bleed , on an 8 mile mission with cypress and o. G.'s

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 911 by B.B. Chung King & the Buddaheads featuring Eminem and B Real speaks to the state of the hip-hop genre in the late 2000s. In the first verse, the artists assert their dominance and power, claiming that everywhere they go, people know that they “roll deep as f***.” They brag about the large number of people they have with them and the fact that no one can stand against them, as they have the monetary advantage. They also imply that they can easily handle any situation, and their adversaries or enemies cannot match up to them. They end the verse on a note of impending doom, with the warning that "it feels like any minute the bomb is about to go off."


The second verse is more introspective and self-reflective, as they rap about the changing nature of hip hop. They mention that hip hop is in a state of 911, and it is no longer about the music or trying to show off. Instead, the focus is on avoiding getting shot, as people have become more violent and dangerous. They emphasize that hip hop is no longer about trying to rip shots to get props, but about avoiding getting popped and dropped to the floor. The artists also call out those who are fake and living a lie, warning them that they can get cut and given stitches for their envy and all the riches they try to pretend they have.


Line by Line Meaning

Guess who's back
We have returned, and this time we are not playing around.


Mommy, we're home
We have arrived, and we are not here to make friends, we are here to show everyone what we're made of.


Say hello to my little friends, DJ Muggs, Soul Assassins, Cypress Hill
We are introducing our crew who will be working with us to create amazing music.


Everybody, put your hands where my eyes can see
We want to see that everyone is ready to party and enjoy our music.


Everywhere we go people know that we roll deep as fuck, forty fifty samoans, they knowin´ when d-bo was 50, Tweezy, Obie there won't be no hoe in us, they pop shit like they gon' do shit but no one does
We come with a large group of people who are ready to support us, and we are not afraid of any challenges as we have been through tough times together. People may talk behind our backs, but they will never have the courage to confront us.


From New York down to Texas, back up to Los Angeles, we've changed the way we move so man up if you can't adjust
We have traveled across different states and cities, and we have adapted ourselves to different environments. If you can't keep up with us, tough luck.


You may end up gettin´ rushed by too many to handle us, it's funny I guess money does have its advantages
If you try to mess with us, you may end up getting outnumbered and defeated. We may have money, but it's our powerful bond that makes us unstoppable.


And it isn't that we just think that we can't be touched, it's not like we're just feelin´ ourselves that much, it's just, that if someone ever does put us in the clutch, we just know that y'all ain't gon' be the one who's gon' do it
We are not invincible, but we have a strong sense of self-awareness. If someone tries to take us down, we know that it won't be easy, and it won't be anyone who talks big but doesn't follow through.


Cause first of all you're pussy and everybody can see that, you fuck around get caught in a spot that you shouldn't be at
We know that anyone who tries to mess with us is a coward, and they will get caught in a dangerous situation that they should have never been in.


That you got no business being in, we ain't even gon' be in it, no one's gonna hear nothin, no one's gonna see this shit, and they'll be in and up out of it, them boys is bout it, bout it, the noise from (? ??) be drowned out by the crowd and you'll be layin´ on the ground gettin´ trampled by people dancin´, till the club closes and clears out
If someone tries to cause trouble, we won't be involved, and they will be left to deal with the consequences on their own. Nobody will hear or see anything, and they will be left alone in a helpless situation. The crowd will ignore their cries for help and continue to dance over them until the club closes.


And that's when they see you flatened, nobody saw it happen, all cause your jaws are flappin´, and you couldn't stop yappin´ and took it past rappin´, it ain't about the music no more, it's about tryin´ to show off
They will be left flattened on the ground without anyone noticing. This is all because they were talking too much and trying to impress others instead of focusing on the music.


And it feels like any minute the bomb is about to go off, shit's about to change, cause we ain't playin´ no games
We feel like anything could happen at any moment, and we are ready for anything. We are serious about our music, and we won't tolerate anyone who tries to ruin it.


We ain't budgin´ neither are they, we ain't sayin´ no names, shit just ain't the same, when the k's get to scream, hip hop is in a state of 911
We are standing our ground, and we won't back down from anyone. Things have changed, and there is a sense of urgency in the air. Hip hop is in a state of emergency.


It ain't about hip hop, cause those days are gone, it ain't about tryin rip shots, to get props no more, it's about tryin´ not to get popped, and get dropped to the floor, cause hip hop is in a state of 911
It's not just about hip hop music anymore, those days are gone. It's not about trying to outdo each other and get attention, it's about survival. There is a threat to the hip hop culture, and we need to be careful not to fall victim to it.


Step off my holster cause shit it's gettin´ serious, all these drugs you be fuckin´ with make you delirious
Stop trying to mess with me because things are getting serious, and the drugs you're using are causing you to lose control of yourself.


Thinkin´ you coming with heat, yo son I'm curious, how long are you gonna hate us and judge us and jury us?
You may think you're tough, but I'm curious how long you're going to keep judging and hating on us without any valid reason.


Some people can never fade us, that make us so furious, mistake us for fakers, homie we great but glorious
Some people will never be able to challenge us, and that makes it all the more frustrating for them. They may think we're faking it, but we are truly great and worthy of success.


We livin´ for real and others just makin´ the stories up, allusions are broken, so live it up, you corny fucks
We are living in the real world, while others are just making up stories to seem cool. Stop pretending and enjoy life instead of being fake.


If you take a fuckin minute to think about what you've done, when you stood against the gangsta who live and die by the gun, got a hot one, sprayin´ you bitches till there is none, I'm like a rolling stone homie, I got you under my thumb
If you stop for a moment and realize that you are opposing us, the gangsters who are willing to do whatever it takes, you will realize that you are in trouble. I am in control, and I will take you down with ease.


You silly little bitches can end up right up in ditches, we cut you and give you stitches, for envy and all my riches
Stop messing with us, or you will end up dead. We are not afraid to get our hands dirty and make sure you never forget your mistake.


Your game's just like a midget, you're clockin´ a small digit, dealin´ with the giant goliath, people that's how we live it, c'mon
Your attempts to challenge us are like that of a small person trying to compete with a giant. It's pointless, and you will lose.


Uh, gangsta gangsta who come to pay you a visit, on this shit you call hip hop, this function is where did it
We are the real gangsters who are here to make a statement and challenge anyone who thinks they can compete with us. This is what hip hop is really about.


When I put it in motion, my focus is gettin´ branded, my appetite for destruction is blasted because I said it
When I start working on something, I am focused on making it memorable and unforgettable. My desire to destroy our enemies is relentless, and I will do whatever it takes to make it happen.


Got you stumblin´ for cover, this music dyin´ in numbers, but you wouldn't pause and wonder, admittin it's all glamour
We have made our enemies scared and confused, but instead of stopping to think about what is happening, they continue to ignore the truth and focus on the illusion of success.


When you enter the business you thinkin´ you runnin shit, you witness that funny shit, your bitches they ain't shit
When you try to enter the music industry, you may think you are in control, but you will soon realize how funny that idea is. Your companions are worthless and won't make it easier for you.


We gangstas we blast first, ask questions later, all these imitators parading like they some playaz
We are true gangsters who attack first and ask questions later. All the people who try to imitate us and act tough are nothing but posers.


Tryin' to save hip hop, the task is somethin greater, cause we old fashioned coded with loyalty motivaters
Attempting to restore the traditional values of hip hop is a difficult task. We are traditional gangsters who value loyalty above everything else.


Get caught, I'm not tellin', or more like killin', not caring, I'm ridin' a gangsta feelin', no fearing when gangstas dyin'
If we get caught doing something wrong, we won't snitch, and we may even kill anyone who tries to mess with us. We live and die as true gangsters and have no fear when it comes to defending ourselves.


I'm in a full circle with homies that supposed to bleed, on an 8 mile mission with Cypress and O. G.'s
I am surrounded by people who will always have my back, and we are on a mission to succeed. I am working with the legendary group Cypress Hill and original gangsters to create something special.
