Yes Yes
Black Thought Chali 2na Debi Nova and Will.i.am Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expression of enthusiasm and agreement

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Reinforcement of the previous expression of enthusiasm and agreement

Yes y'all, yes y'all, yes y'all
Affirmation of participation and enjoyment

Freak y'all, freak y'all
Expression of creativity and boundary-pushing

To the beats y'all, beats y'all
Acknowledgment of the importance of rhythm and music

And you don't stop and you don't quit
Encouragement to keep going and pushing forward

Yo, Black's the real, he the thoroughbred for feel
Acknowledgment of Black Thought's authenticity and artistic skill

Park the whip, jump out dressed to kill
Describing an arrival that is confident and stylish

Hop the charter flight down to Brazil
Description of a glamorous trip to Brazil

Ran right into will, "What up, Black?"
Encounter with Will.i.am in Brazil

(What's the deal?)
Asking about the current situation and plans

A cape with a cain, you what's in a name
Describing a distinctive fashion item and reflecting on the importance of personal identity

I got a little bit of change but I'm feelin' the same
Despite having some wealth, the artist feels unchanged

Came here for a taste of the finer things
Motivation for traveling and experiencing luxury

Because the girls look like different months in a magazine
Attraction to the beauty of women in Brazil

Judging how fast the word go
Observation of the flow of information and reputation

The probably already know we hang with Sergio
Assumption that people know about the artists' connection to Sergio Mendes

So, let's get a few classy girls, yo
Suggestion to find some sophisticated women

And sip a little wine, anything but merlot
Addition of detail to the suggestion of a drink

Though, live and let learn, use protekchurn
Advice to learn from experiences and protect oneself

And twist a little something that's Katherine Hepburn
Referring to a classic style and elegance

Fresh to death, still makin'' them heads turn
Pride in being fashionable and attractive

Still got mine,but you got to get churn, yo
Acknowledgment of personal success but the idea that one must continue to work hard

Know what I'm talkin' about?
Asking if the listener understands or agrees

There it is
Confirmation or emphasis of a previous point

(There it is)
Repeated emphasis of a previous point

It's the Will.i.am, I'm killin' them
Introduction of Will.i.am and assertion of his talent

Got flows that float just like helium
Describing the smoothness of his rhymes

These hoes know I'm drillin' 'em
Boast about his appeal to women

So when feminine's thrown I'm throwin' them
When women show interest, he reciprocates

The billin' 'em till I'm rollin' in millions
Desire to make a lot of money

Gotta flip billions into trillions
Goal to continue making more and more money

Businessly, I'm brilliant
Pride in his business acumen

Turn pennies into twenties like the chameleons
Ability to turn small amounts of money into larger amounts

But never put a chinchilla on a chick
Negative opinion about using animal fur as clothing

Karma-style [unverified] too legit to quit
Attributing his success to positive actions and hard work, referencing MC Hammer's song

Hip-hop on and on and on and break mics constant
Acknowledgment of the longevity of hip-hop culture and the importance of lyrical skill

Till the break of dawn and
Stay up and continue performing until morning

If you want to compete, come compete
Challenge to other artists to test their skills

Bring and mpc-16, make a big beat
Suggesting the use of a specific piece of equipment to create music

We could take it back to the b-street
Reference to an earlier era of hip-hop culture

We could break, we could rap, do the graffiti, yo
Listing different forms of hip-hop culture and expression

Hey, 2na fish back to business
Introduction of Chali 2na and assertion of his seriousness

I hit the track like a sheer act of vengeance
Describing a passionate approach to creating music

Masked avengers get smacked and injured
Reference to comic book characters and the idea of defeating opponents

Strapped'll get cho' back with some black suspenders
Suggesting the use of weapons for protection

Autographs of the Jurassic crew
Reference to Chali 2na's group, Jurassic 5, and their growing popularity

Flippin' flashes so fast like a fashion shoot
Describing the quick pace of his success and popularity

Classics, spittin' acid the fastest route
Referring to his style of rapping and wordplay

Bass'll hit yo face quicker than a passion fruit
Describing the impact of his music

Big cheese inflict sick disease
Boast about his influence and power

Make hits that'll make thick chicks strip tease
Confidence in his ability to make music that appeals to women

Clicks freeze when the trigger click squeeze
Reference to violence and the power dynamics of hip-hop culture

Makin' people in the disco duck like Riq Jeeves
Describing the impact of his music on people's dancing

But I ain't going to war wit' ch'all
Stating that he does not want to engage in conflict with other artists

And got no alcoholic beverages to pour for y'all
Joking about not having drinks to offer his opponents

I'm gonna let these cats get there garbage off
Acknowledging that other artists may have less refined or impressive work

While I crush y'all like Mikhail Gorbachev
Belittling his opponents and comparing them to the former Soviet leader

Know what I'm talkin' 'bout, yeah
Reiterating the question asked earlier

Don't you stop, don't you stop
Encouragement to keep going and not give up

Don't you ever quit
Urging to persist and persevere

La la la
Non-lyrical vocalization to add to the musicality of the track
