Baby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Baby]
See the party won't start 'till I walk in
And I might start over with them Burberry tims
Me and J.D. with 'bout 10 of our friends
The Benz, the Lexus with the bubble eye lens
Bentley, coupes with the rag top vets
Brand new caddy with the Jews and jets
[J.D.]
Throw up your sets up your bets
I'm the big check sign nigga rhyme nigga 24 I'm grindin'
Nigga hot boys since runnin' they was singin'
Here we go spendin' dough shit you ain't know
I works this pimp juice
Cash Money and So So Def all hell 'bout to break loose

[Chorus: TQ]
Every city town I go
y'all know just how it be
When I come threw I shut it down
'cause ain't no body bad like me
From the girls in the club that be shakin' they ass
To the way that we make your speakers blast
Last name Money first name is Cash
y'all know y'all know just how it be

[Baby]
Big pimping and hustling we riding and dubbin'
When we walk threw the club all the hoes be hugging
More money more pain three colors on the range
We threw it out the roof screaming money ain't a thing
Visit JD get a boo and see it (holla)
We Gucci down from the head to the feet
The Cash Money model this nigga be greedy
And these horny hoes holla stunna please fini

[J.D.]
I'm the loud over the top type
Never quiet when I come to your town I'm trying to start me a riot
Fuck your diet
Me and my niggas keep eating
Heating like DeNiro in the middle of the street and
I represent those that party all night
Shut down the club screamin green light
It's me and the Birdman ya heard
Please be clear It's so much stunnin going on in here





[Chorus: x4]

Overall Meaning

The song "How It Be" by Baby is a classic hip-hop song that mainly talks about the lavish lifestyle of the rap stars. Baby begins by stating that the party won't begin until he arrives, indicating his significance in the rap game. He also flexes his sense of fashion by mentioning his Burberry tims while cruising around with JD and ten other friends in expensive vehicles like Benz, Lexus, Bentley, and Caddy, among others. The chorus by TQ emphasizes the dominating presence of Baby when he visits different cities and towns.


JD comes in with unique skills, motivation, and pride that he represents the Hotboys since they began, and he's grinding on his music career. He boasts of how cash money and So So Def are about to create a buzz that many are not ready for. He's always high energy and ready to cause a riot during his performances. There's also a mention of their Gucci clothing style and a plea for Stunna to provide the girls' requests.


In summary, the song is all about how the reputable rappers spend their money and how they're always the center of attention, bringing a different vibe to each party they attend.
