Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, uh, aye! what the fuck I gotta worry about now?
Nigga you think after weatherin' the storm and comin' from the extremes I came from
You think I'ma call all the way and get scared?
Nah nigga, I'ma motherfuckin' win
Nigga if all this shit go out the window right now man
I'm all too familiar with this shit
My nigga I'm straight ya dig? please believe that shit man, hey!
[Chorus 1: T.I.]
You can keep the car, the clothes, the money and the hoes
Just gimme a couple of o's, drop me off at the sto'
And I'm straight, hey shorty I'm straight
Hey you can keep the dancers and the boppers, the plexers and the poppers
Let me fill up my impala, boy holla at my partners
And I'm straight, hey shorty I'm straight
[T.I.]
I gotta couple of v's wit' the kits, mpv's on my wrist
A lot of glamor and glit's, but shorty I don't need that
My beginnin' was a humble one, a hustler I'ma son of one
Taught me how to number run, I went from that to number one
Had a hundred ones, I bought a slab flipped another one
Sold my little three-eighty east, and said I need another gun
The littlest in the trap, and got it poppin' like some bubble gum
Junkies hatin' on my stacks, sayin' I'm nothing but a young
Buck, niggaz say, "what?" then he see me raise up
Just wanna see the little boy wit' nuts exchange old niggas whole face soon
'cause I spray the nigga's whole face up, wet the nigga from the waist up
They try you once and you pull a fall, and then tell 'em shaw' don't play wit 'em
I'm fourteen in the dope game and don't care of catchin' no case bro
Consider me, that's intentionally, another nigga that it's too late for
Hey wait bro, bet any nigga came from that?
Who lose it all the day, I bet he say he changed from that
[Chorus 2: T.I.]
Hey you can keep the game and the fame, the haters and the lames
Just gimme some cocaine and somewhere I can slang
And I'm straight, hey shorty I'm straight
Hey you can keep the clones and the clowns, the throne and the crown
Well-known in the town that I'm holdin' it down
So I'm straight, hey shorty I'm straight
[B.G.]
OK now, now when I spit it, I spit it how I live it
Every verse I ever gave ya, it was fact, nothin' fiction
I'ma livin' legend, no stuntin', no reppin'
You can check my track record, I'm highly respected
I'ma gangsta in the game, go ask lil' wayne
Ask judge Johnson, how many times he saw my face
For, "pistol here, pistol there," "violation here, violation here"
Betta ask rank, I ran the jail when I was there
I held it down, where-ever I go
When I'm in the a wit' the king, or in detroit in the snow
I'ma pro, whether it's movin' snow or movin' 'dro
That's between me and you, I can get it for the low
But that's nothing, everybody say they gotta story
Mine on "Larry King," theirs is on "maury"
At the end of the day, it seems to won't go away
I guarantee the heart of the streets that you pray
[Chorus 1]
[Young Jeezy]
Snowman bitch (bitch), I ride two-seaters
It's a cold world, so I keep two heaters (yeah!)
I'm straight, you better ask somebody (body)
Matter fact nigga you can just ask me (me)
A little over aggressive, yeah I just might be
But half the niggas in the hood just like me (damn!)
You wonder why a nigga talk eight balls all day?
You should try standin' around with eight balls all day (yeah!)
Somebody pray for me, I don't know nothin' else (hey!)
Why should I help you, when you ain't tryin' to help yourself
I came in this game, fresh out the streets (yeah)
Who you kiddin' nigga, I put my life on these beats (yeah!)
Fuck bein' broke, this a reality check (check)
While you mad at ya girl, ya better check reality
Gotta crawl 'fore you walk, you gotta think before you talk
Damn right they gon' hate (yeah!), 'cause them niggas aren't straight
[Chorus 2]
[Pimp C]
Say what it do? young pimp c know what I'm talking 'bout?
Yeah, nigga want me to speak on some "king" shit, know what I'm sayin'?
On the cool you know, young nigga T.I. jumped out there
Said he was the king of the south
He ruffled a whole lot of niggas feathers
But niggas didn't really understand what the nigga was talking 'bout
You know, and uh, so everybody had it twisted but,
Me I understood from the get go
That what the nigga was tryin' to put
In these motherfuckin' stupid ass niggas faces!
Was the fact that it's a whole bunch of kings down here
And as long as you takin' care of yo' business and doin' king shit you a king!
What these niggas should of been tryin' to do was tryin' to get close to the nigga
And get some understandin' about the type of game
He was tryin' to put in these motherfuckin' niggas ear holes!
Understand what I'm sayin'?
So I'm layin' back I'm watchin' the game from the sideline
Know what I'm talking 'bout?
And I'm seein' all these ol' pussy ass niggaz out here
Talking 'bout they this and they that, but they really ain't doin' nothin!
Cause they motherfuckin' paper ain't right
When I see them in the street, they diamonds fake! know what I'm talking 'bout?
They shit ain't cut right, ya shit ain't right!
Shit cloudy and chipped up, know what I'm talking 'bout?
And them niggaz talking 'bout they "trill niggas"
Don't even know what the motherfuckin' word mean!
Know what I'm talking 'bout? this comin' from the o.g. style trill
Know what I'm talking 'bout? not these ol' fake ass niggas
Tryin' to come on the scene later on and tryin' to take glory for some shit
Some other niggaz paid dues for, know what I'm talking 'bout?
So this is what is, we bringin' georgia and Texas together
All you ol' bitch ass niggas that ain't down wit' the play
Move on to the side, all you old school rappers like 'pac say
You niggas flabby, lookin' like larry holmes
Back yo' bitch ass up! and, and, and, and move around for the south
Cause it's our time to shine, know what I'm talking 'bout?
Now let's do this shit!
The song Skit 1 by B.Skład features a number of rap artists including T.I., B.G., Young Jeezy, and Pimp C. The song is structured around a repeated chorus in which the artists assert that they don't need material possessions like cars, clothes, and money to feel secure, stating that all they need is a bit of their chosen drug and a place to sell it. The lyrics are characterized by themes of resilience in the face of adversity, self-reliance, and toughness. The artists assert that they are "straight" no matter what happens to them because they have survived extreme conditions in the past.
The song also contains a number of references to the rap industry and the tensions that exist within it. T.I. suggests that many of his fellow rappers are fakes, saying that they don't understand the meaning of the word "trill" and that their diamonds are "cloudy and chipped up". Pimp C offers a similar critique of the industry, suggesting that many rappers focus too much on achieving fame and wealth rather than pursuing the art of rap itself. The song ends on a triumphant note, with the artists calling on all the "real" rappers to come together and take their rightful place in the spotlight.

You can keep the car, the clothes, the money and the hoes
Material possessions like cars, expensive clothing, money, and women don't hold any value to me
Just gimme a couple of o's, drop me off at the sto'

Drug addicts were jealous of the money I had and claimed I was just a young and inexperienced person

But when they see me rise to the top and succeed, they become speechless
Just wanna see the little boy wit' nuts exchange old niggas whole face soon
They want to witness a young and fearless person outdo and overpower older, more established individuals
'cause I spray the nigga's whole face up, wet the nigga from the waist up
Because I have the ability to shoot and harm someone, leaving their face and upper body drenched in blood
They try you once and you pull a fall, and then tell 'em shaw' don't play wit 'em

I'm fourteen in the dope game and don't care of catchin' no case bro
I am only fourteen years old, involved in selling drugs, and I'm not afraid of getting caught by the police

Regard me as someone who is deliberately on a path of destruction without any chance of redemption
Hey wait bro, bet any nigga came from that?
Do you honestly think anyone can relate to or has been through what I have experienced?
Who lose it all the day, I bet he say he changed from that
If someone loses everything in a single day, I guarantee they would claim to have transformed as a result
Hey you can keep the game and the fame, the haters and the lames
You can hold onto the competitiveness and popularity of the music industry, as well as the people who dislike and are fake in it

Well-known in the town that I'm holdin' it down
What's important to me is being respected and influential in my community
So I'm straight, hey shorty I'm straight
Therefore, I am content and satisfied. Yes, everything is fine.
OK now, now when I spit it, I spit it how I live it
When I rap, I speak the truth about my life and experiences
Every verse I ever gave ya, it was fact, nothin' fiction
Every lyric I have ever written and shared with you has been based on reality, not imagination
I'ma livin' legend, no stuntin', no reppin'
I am a living legend, and I don't need to brag or represent myself excessively
You can check my track record, I'm highly respected
If you investigate my past actions and achievements, you will find that I am greatly admired and esteemed
I'ma gangsta in the game, go ask lil' wayne
I am a respected and influential figure in the rap industry, just like Lil Wayne
Ask judge Johnson, how many times he saw my face
Inquire with Judge Johnson about how frequently I appeared before him in court
For, "pistol here, pistol there," "violation here, violation here"
I have a history of being involved in gun-related offenses and facing legal consequences for my actions
Betta ask rank, I ran the jail when I was there
You should also ask Rank, as I had significant influence and control within the prison system
I held it down, where-ever I go
I maintained my dominance and authority wherever I was, regardless of the circumstances
When I'm in the a wit' the king, or in detroit in the snow
Whether I'm in Atlanta with T.I., or in Detroit during winter, I am a force to be reckoned with
I'ma pro, whether it's movin' snow or movin' 'dro
I am highly skilled and experienced in both selling cocaine drugs and marijuana
That's between me and you, I can get it for the low
It's our secret; I can obtain drugs at a low price
But that's nothing, everybody say they gotta story
However, that's not important. Everyone claims to have their own story or narrative
Mine on "Larry King," theirs is on "maury"
My story is so significant that it would be discussed on a prestigious show like "Larry King," while others have stories that belong on a sensationalistic talk show like "Maury"
At the end of the day, it seems to won't go away
Ultimately, my impact and influence persist and continue to be recognized
I guarantee the heart of the streets that you pray
I promise you that I am deeply ingrained in the street culture, which is something you may aspire to or admire
Snowman bitch (bitch), I ride two-seaters
I am associated with the snowman symbol, and I drive cars with only two seats
It's a cold world, so I keep two heaters (yeah!)
The world is dangerous and unforgiving, so I always carry two guns for protection
I'm straight, you better ask somebody (body)
Just so you know, I am doing well and you can confirm that by asking others
Matter fact nigga you can just ask me (me)
Actually, you don't need to ask anyone else but me for confirmation
A little over aggressive, yeah I just might be
I may come across as overly assertive or forceful, and yes, that is a possibility
But half the niggas in the hood just like me (damn!)
However, it's a fact that many individuals in my neighborhood are just like me
You wonder why a nigga talk eight balls all day?
Have you ever questioned why I constantly discuss selling drugs?
You should try standin' around with eight balls all day (yeah!)
If you experienced spending an entire day with drugs to sell like I do, then you would understand
Somebody pray for me, I don't know nothin' else (hey!)
I ask for someone to pray for me, as I am consumed and limited by my involvement in illegal activities
Why should I help you, when you ain't tryin' to help yourself
I see no reason to assist you when you show no effort to better your own situation
I came in this game, fresh out the streets
I entered the music industry directly from the tough environment of the streets
Who you kiddin' nigga, I put my life on these beats
Don't fool yourself, I have risked my life and put everything on the line for my music
Fuck bein' broke, this a reality check
I will not tolerate being poor; this is a harsh reminder of the consequences of that
While you mad at ya girl, ya better check reality
Instead of getting angry at your girlfriend, you should focus on dealing with the realities of life
Gotta crawl 'fore you walk, you gotta think before you talk
You must start from the bottom and make calculated decisions before taking action
Damn right they gon' hate (yeah!), 'cause them niggas aren't straight
Of course, people will feel envious and dislike me because they are not as honest or genuine as I am
Say what it do? young pimp c know what I'm talking 'bout?
What's going on? Young Pimp C here, do you understand what I'm referring to?
Yeah, nigga want me to speak on some "king" shit, know what I'm sayin'?
Some individuals want me to discuss matters related to being a king, if you catch my drift.
On the cool you know, young nigga T.I. jumped out there
Truthfully, you already know that T.I., a young rapper, stepped up and claimed to be the king
Said he was the king of the south
He declared himself the ruler and leader of the southern region in the rap industry
He ruffled a whole lot of niggas feathers
He managed to upset many other individuals in the process
But niggas didn't really understand what the nigga was talking 'bout
However, those people failed to comprehend the true message and intention behind his words
You know, and uh, so everybody had it twisted but
You see, everyone had a distorted understanding of the situation
Me I understood from the get go
But I, on the other hand, comprehended it right from the beginning
That what the nigga was tryin' to put
What he was attempting to convey
In these motherfuckin' stupid ass niggas faces!
To these ignorant individuals who can't grasp it!
Was the fact that it's a whole bunch of kings down here
He was emphasizing that there are numerous individuals who are kings in the southern region
And as long as you takin' care of yo' business and doin' king shit you a king!
As long as you handle your responsibilities and carry yourself with authority, you will be viewed as a king
What these niggas should of been tryin' to do was tryin' to get close to the nigga
Instead of being jealous, these individuals should have attempted to form a connection with him
And get some understandin' about the type of game
They should have sought to understand the strategy or approach he was employing
He was tryin' to put in these motherfuckin' niggas ear holes!
He was attempting to impart knowledge or wisdom to these foolish individuals
Understand what I'm sayin'?
Do you comprehend what I'm trying to convey?
So I'm layin' back I'm watchin' the game from the sideline
Therefore, I'm staying back and observing the situation from afar
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?
And I'm seein' all these ol' pussy ass niggaz out here
I can observe many weak and cowardly individuals present
Talking 'bout they this and they that, but they really ain't doin' nothin'!
They claim to be important or accomplished, but in reality, they aren't achieving anything
Cause they motherfuckin' paper ain't right
Their finances or business affairs are not in order
When I see them in the street, they diamonds fake!
When I encounter them on the street, I notice that their diamonds are counterfeit
They shit ain't cut right, ya shit ain't right!
Their products or actions are not up to standard; they are inferior
Shit cloudy and chipped up, know what I'm talking 'bout?
Their merchandise is hazy and damaged, do you understand my point?
And them niggaz talking 'bout they "trill niggas"
These individuals claim to be genuine and authentic
Don't even know what the motherfuckin' word mean!
But they don't even understand the true meaning of the term!
Know what I'm talking 'bout? this comin' from the o.g. style trill
Do you understand what I'm trying to convey? I'm speaking as an original, real and genuine person
Know what I'm talking 'bout? not these ol' fake ass niggas
Do you understand my point? I'm not referring to these phony individuals
Tryin' to come on the scene later on and tryin' to take glory for some shit
Attempting to arrive on the scene at a later time and stealing credit for something
Some other niggaz paid dues for, know what I'm talking 'bout?
Some other individuals who worked hard and sacrificed made those achievements possible, do you understand?
So this is what is, we bringin' georgia and Texas together
This is the current situation; we are uniting Georgia and Texas
All you ol' bitch ass niggas that ain't down wit' the play
To all the old, cowardly individuals who are not supportive of this movement
Move on to the side, all you old school rappers like 'pac say
Step aside, all you old-school rappers like Tupac Shakur used to say
You niggas flabby, lookin' like larry holmes
You individuals are weak and out of shape, resembling Larry Holmes, a former heavyweight boxer
Back yo' bitch ass up! and, and, and, and move around for the south
So retreat and get out of the way for the Southern region.
Cause it's our time to shine, know what I'm talking 'bout?
This is our moment to succeed and be recognized, do you understand?
Now let's do this shit!
So let's proceed and make it happen!
