911
Boo Yaa TRIBE Eminem & B-Real Lyrics

Waho, hahaha
Laughs and shouts in excitement

Guess who's back
Announcing the return of the artist(s)

Mommy, we're home
Expressing a sense of comfort and familiarity in returning home

Say hello to my little friends, dj muggs, soul assassins, cypress hill
Introducing and acknowledging fellow artists and collaborators

Everybody, put your hands where my eyes can see
Requesting audience participation

Everywhere we go people know that we roll deep as fuck, forty fifty samoans, they knowin´ when d-bo was 50, tweezy, obie there won't be no hoe in us
Boasting about having a large and loyal crew, and asserting that they are not to be messed with in the presence of certain individuals

They pop shit like they gon do shit but no one does
Call out to people who talk a lot but never act on their threats

From new york down to texas, back up to los angeles, we've changed the way we move so man up if you can't adjust
Acknowledging their travels and asserting their ability to adapt to new environments, challenging those who cannot keep up

You may end up gettin´ rushed by too many to handle us, it's funny I guess money does have its advantages
Warning others that they may be outnumbered by their crew, and implying that their success has provided them with advantages others may not have

And it isn't that we just think that we can't be touched, it's not like we're just feelin´ ourselves that much
Clarifying that their confidence does not stem from a belief that they are untouchable, but a conviction in their abilities

It's just, that if someone ever does put us in the clutch, we just know that y'all ain't gon´ be the one who's gon´ do it
Asserting that if they were ever in a dangerous situation, the people talking the most would not be the ones to do them harm

Cause first of all you're pussy and everybody can see that, you fuck around get caught in a spot that you shouldn't be at
Insulting those who talk but don't act, warning them not to put themselves in dangerous situations

That you got no business being in, we ain't even gon´ be in it
Emphasizing that they have no involvement in the situations others may find themselves in

No one's gonna hear nothin, no one's gonna see this shit
Implying that any violence that may occur will leave no witnesses or traces

And they'll be in and up out of it, them boys is bout it, bout it, the noise from (? ??) Be drowned out by the crowd
Suggesting that any violent altercations will be quickly resolved and that their crew is capable of handling it

And you'll be layin´ on the ground gettin´ trampled by people dancin´, till the club closes and clears out
Painting a brutal and graphic image of the consequences of getting involved in situations they warn against

And that's when they see you flatened, nobody saw it happen, all cause your jaws are flappin´
Further emphasizing the idea that an individual's actions and words can have consequences

And you couldn't stop yappin´ and took it past rappin´, it ain't about the music no more, it's about tryin´ to show off
Criticizing those who prioritize showing off rather than focusing on the art of music

And it feels like any minute the bomb is about to go off
Implying a sense of impending danger or chaos

Shit's about to change, cause we ain't playin´ no games
Asserting that things will change and that they are serious

We ain't budgin´ neither are they, we ain't sayin´ no names
Asserting that they will not back down, but will also not engage in directly naming or targeting others

Shit just ain't the same, when the k's get to scream
Imagery of guns firing and the sense of danger that comes with it

Hip hop is in a state of 911
Describing the current state of the hip hop industry as a crisis

It ain't about hip hop, cause those days are gone
Asserting that hip hop has changed from its original roots and no longer reflects the same values

It ain't about tryin rip shots, to get props no more
Criticizing the idea of shooting others to gain attention or popularity

It's about tryin´ not to get popped, and get dropped to the floor
Encouraging others to avoid violence that could lead to injury or death

Step off my holster cause shit it's gettin´ serious, all these drugs you be fuckin´ with make you delirious
Warning individuals to steer clear of drugs that can impair their judgment and cause harm

Thinkin´ you coming with heat, yo son I'm curious, how long are you gonna hate us and judge us and jury us?
Indicating frustration towards those who criticize them without trying to understand or empathize

Some people can never fade us, that make us so furious, mistake us for fakers, homie we great but glorious
Acknowledging that some people will always dislike them, but also affirming their own greatness

We livin´ for real and others just makin´ the stories up
Emphasizing that their experiences are authentic, while others are creating fiction

Allusions are broken, so live it up, you corny fucks
Rejecting the idea of pretending to be something they are not, and addressing those who do

If you take a fuckin´ minute to think about what you've done, when you stood against the gangsta who live and die by the gun
Addressing those who have opposed them, and suggesting that they consider the potential consequences of their actions

Got a hot one, sprayin´ you bitches till there is none, I'm like a rolling stone homie, I got you under my thumb
Asserting their power and ability to take down their enemies

You silly little bitches can end up right up in ditches, we cut you and give you stitches, for envy and all my riches
Using violent imagery to convey their willingness to hurt those who envy their success

Your game's just like a midget, you're clockin´ a small digit, dealin´ with the giant goliath, people that's how we live it, c'mon
Insulting the stature of their opponents and suggesting that they are no match for them

Uh, gangsta gangsta who come to pay you a visit, on this shit you call hip hop, this function is where did it
Asserting their gangsta identity and making a statement about the current state of hip hop

When I put it in motion, my focus is gettin´ branded, my appetite for destruction is blasted because I said it
Describing their focus on building their brand and using violent rhetoric for shock value

Got you stumblin´ for cover, this music dyin´ in numbers, but you wouldn't pause and wonder, admittin it's all glamour
Implying that their presence is causing fear, and criticizing the lack of introspection regarding the decline of the music industry

When you enter the business you thinkin´ you runnin shit, you witness that funny shit, your bitches they ain't shit
Critiquing the arrogance and entitlement of newcomers to the industry

We gangstas we blast first, ask questions later, all these imitators parading like they some playaz
Emphasizing their gangsta identity and condemning those who imitate them without truly understanding what it means

Tryin´ to save hip hop the task is somethin greater, cause we old fashioned coded with loyalty motivaters
Suggesting that the task of saving hip hop is difficult but necessary, emphasizing their loyalty and motivation

Get caught, I'm not tellin´, or more like killin´ not caring, I'm ridin´ a gangsta feelin´, no fearing when gangstas dyin´
Asserting that they will not snitch or show mercy to their enemies

I'm in a full circle with homies that supposed to bleed, on an 8 mile mission with cypress and o.g.'s
Describing their proximity to and relationships with individuals who are equally committed to their gangsta identity and lifestyle
