Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoke something, bitch
My trademark, know what I’m talkin bout?
Yea, know what I’m talkin bout?
Uncle Joey was talkin' bout
Hey man, do fries come with that shake?
Do green guys come with them thighs
Shit, pimpin', Tommy loose, OC
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Well Peter Piper, Pete Kepers, and Run rock rhymes
You know that C Pimp hoes and Bun knock dimes
I be at it and on it, don’t start no static, I want it
When I want it I get it, so get to hoppin' up on it
Ain't no stopping, no frontin', this certified and official
When I see you lickin' your lips, you wanna blow on my whistle
But I got that harmonica, you can play it like Stevie
They say that pimpin' ain’t easy, man it is if you be me
I see a new one every day, and they think that
Cause they jazzy and they carefree they gon' talk me out my pay
See, you tight, but see my game is just a little bit tighter
Pay for pussy, that’s alright, I grab the smoke so pass the lighter
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Mane you know I hit the first night, get 'em right the first date
But I got a question for yah, them thighs come with that shake?
You want Pappadeaux seafood, well you gon have to eat boo
Won't be in my foreign car, you gon' be a porn star
I know what’s going through your head, If I get 'em right with head
I might get a slice of bread for just a minute
I get cash in duffle bags, I don't chase the cake
Let em ride, get em high as I pay for cake
Sorry, girl, I gotta go, like Pimp I’m on that purple dro
Mid-west, 30 a show, yea I hustle and flow
Round town, a bad chicks tryna flag me down
Zoom zoom, see ya later, I gotta get the paper
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Shit, now all the trickin', you should stop it, money been the topic
While she digging in your pockets I be pluggin on her socket
All off in your crib, feet up on your shit
Instead of breakin' off a ho, you out here lovin' a bitch
When I get this pimpin' biz, steel toe ?
The type of dick that run a chick some shit that she could bill for
Live for, all off in your billfold to make her happy
She shake you off, I break her off cause she bring it back to daddy
Don’t be mad at me, cause your ho done chose
I was out here on the stroll, she got down like she's supposed
I put her on some golds, and some vapors on her mind
Cause thighs come with that shake and green on the side
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors
Don’t chase the cake, chase the paper
Them thighs come with that shake
Bitch in yo mind, ho I got cake
In this song, Big K.R.I.T., Pimp C., and Bun B. collaborate to explore the themes of pimping and the pursuit of money. The lyrics suggest a certain level of pride in the pursuit of wealth and the objectification of women. The opening lines of the song set the tone, with Big K.R.I.T. demanding that the listener "smoke something". He goes on to reference "Uncle Joey" and the question "do fries come with that shake?" which is a slang expression used to ask if a woman has a good body. The verse is full of other references to pimping culture, including the line "Boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors".
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "boss get cash money, smokin' the vapors" as a rallying cry, emphasizing the importance of pursuing wealth and success. The line "don't chase the cake, chase the paper" suggests that it's not just about owning material possessions, but rather about building up a stable financial foundation. The mention of "them thighs come with that shake" further objectifies women and reinforces the idea that they are simply commodities to be traded for money.
The second verse continues this theme, with Pimp C. referencing his position as a pimp and his ability to attract and manipulate women. He boasts about his success and implies that it's easy for him to make money in this way. He also takes a shot at men who spend money on women without getting anything in return, stating "all off in your crib, feet up on your sh*t / instead of breaking off a ho, you out here loving a bitch".
Overall, "Cake" is a song that exalts the pursuit of money and objectifies women in the process. While it may be seen as a commentary on certain aspects of hip-hop culture, it is ultimately a celebration of the materialistic and shallow values that it depicts.

All off in your crib, feet up on your shit

Instead of breakin' off a ho, you out here lovin' a bitch
You’re wasting time and energy on a woman who doesn’t make you money
When I get this pimpin' biz, steel toe ?
When I start my own pimping business, I’ll have a strong foundation
The type of dick that run a chick some shit that she could bill for

She shake you off, I break her off cause she bring it back to daddy
When you can’t please a woman, I can because I’m her pimp
Don’t be mad at me, cause your ho done chose
Don’t blame me when your woman chooses to be with me
I was out here on the stroll, she got down like she's supposed

I put her on some golds, and some vapors on her mind
I gave her gifts and got her high to keep her happy
Cause thighs come with that shake and green on the side
There are always extra benefits and money to be made with women
