[Backbone]
Now I'm give it to ya straight, gram for gram
Partna, ya see it on the plate
Ya can't fuck with us, with that touch and bust
We got taste and smell, and plenty clientele
I see ya grinnin, how many?
Ten get'cha in, twenty hit'cha pennies
They trapped out, on cigarettes and Remi
Business is business, work with me not against me
Them suckers known to fiend, then let me get me
I put it on 'em point blank
Niggas don't thank shit stank
Born and bred 'til I'm dead, get bank
Believe that! It's natural fact
I keep 'em bustin out the sack, now run and tell that
This for my nitty-gritters, money getters
All them big-lick hitters, and go-getters

[Hook] 2x
We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

[Backbone]
Whattaya say Slic Patna (Say!) Can't complain
Ev-e-rythang, everythang, ya know me mayne
I'm a hustlin young nigga, keep me somethinn to serve
I'm a ridin young nigga, keep me somethin to swerve
Give me a block and I'ma hit the hole
I can get'cha what'cha need, just hit ya folk
At W-W-W dot 'Get you some' dot Com, get you some
I keep 'em runnin back and forth for the pure product
Keep 'em beatin down the do', get it and go
One for this little change, two three mo' for the show
I propose a toast to them cats who put on the most

[Hook] 2x

[Backbone]
Whip it, flip it, 'til I see a G stash
Drop a six too soft, for bringing back glass
Talkin 'bout, that fast
See how workin slow roll, but I see the fast cash
Own a fifty pad, of sticky sap
I stay sky-high, I keep the five-five
Jumpin for the high-high
Put the work in the pot, watch it rock-n-roll
Hit the stage, lil' girls keepa pullin my clothes
I'm fresh-fresh y'all, up out the mall
Back' up on the corner talkin Slic to y'all

[Hook] 2x

[Backbone] 2x
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)

Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)

[Hook] 2x

Overall Meaning

The song "Jump Back" by Backbone is a typical gangsta rap song that talks about drug dealing and the life of a hustler on the streets. The lyrics are straightforward and use street slang and profanity to describe the drug game. The opening verse is a straight-up boast about the quality and quantity of the drug being sold, with a warning to those who want to cross or compete with the rapper. The chorus refers to putting the drugs in the pot, on the clock, on the block, and on the dock and seeing it jump back, which means to make a profit.


The second verse describes how the drug dealer operates and how he can get what the customers need, keeping them coming back for more. The third verse has the rapper talking about the money that he makes and how he spends it, with a reference to owning a stash house and driving high on drugs. The chorus is repeated twice, and the song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Jump back."


Overall, the song depicts the harsh reality of the life of drug dealers and the dangers they face in the streets. It is a cautionary tale that shows the consequences of getting involved in the illegal drug trade.
