Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I taught him everything and how to tear the game up,(Me)
What we went through was a shame but,
We back at it now, doing all the same stuff.(uh huh)
Being us
When I left I heard all the words and the lil' birds in the background,
Saying how he goin' act now? (uh huh)
And we back around
Killin' all the daughters and they mama long with 'em (yeah)
Lil Homie so crazy and he stay tryin' to split 'em(yeah)
Stay with his shirt off, gang of tattoos
All the homies like nigga he act just like you
Jay and its true, I do and I ain't even gonna front,
Tryin' to hit it out the park while these other niggas bluff,
Roll up like a blunt, straight stunting on these niggas
Like you and jay did when I was just a kid.
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like
He can get it
All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like
He can get it
All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
Come on now that Obama no drama all about the doe,(okay)
In with the new, (and) out with the old,
Stay making it, keeping the people wanting mo',
And for L-I-F-E, W-E So-So
So cold like a winter night in Chi-Town,(yea)
You Know,(yea) you ain't hot homie pipe down,
See the label done got a nigga hype
Stop running around, lying bout your motherfucking life clown
The real don't do that,
I be looking at em like eww who do that?
Kids don't feel that,
But you wouldn't know,
Cause you getting too old and slow,
Said he popping when u barely going gold nigga(whoa)
Same Lambo, Same Bent Different color,
More Like my lil' son and just my lil' brother,
See I had to let him go,
Just so he can really know,
You never know what you got,
Until its gone,
Welcome Home
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like
He can get it
All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like

All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
Bow holla at em
Okay, Same Lambo, Same Bent different color,
More than like a dad and just a big brother,
We ain't always gonna agree,
Eye to Eye,
But for him I'm straight Do or Die, I
Couldn't of said it better cause I feel the same,
Its just somethings that ain't never suppose to change,
Like when Nicky Barnes switched the name of the blue magic,
For no reason and fucked up a good package
You don't get a ring, unless you got a team,
My niggas round you that'll hold you down,
Run with you around through the thick and the thin,
When the work ain't coming in,
You know the ups and the downs,
That we all go through Jay,
You See the moral of the story is,
We let the biz come through and separate this,
Dis been one of the realest and the greatest,
Relationships between 2 friends,
I'm talking true friends
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like
He can get it
All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
They say we talk just alike,
Walk just alike,
Same damn swagger,
When we Roc up on the Mic,
All the girls like
He can get it
All my niggas hands up
Lemme know that you wit it
I remember when I was just a lil boy you know what im saying

JD I know you remember that and I did it!
So so def for life you know what it is
Yea
, Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri's song Roc the Mic is about their friendship and how they have been through tough times but have come back together. The first verse talks about how Bow Wow (formerly known as Lil' Bow Wow) was taught by JD from the beginning how to "tear the game up." They have gone through some unpleasant experiences in their friendship, but now they are back together and doing the same things. The second verse talks about how Bow Wow left and people were unsure how he would act upon his return, but he is now back and killing it with JD. They are both recognized as having the same style and swagger when they're on stage, and they're able to get the crowd hyped up, with the girls wanting to get with them and the guys wanting to follow in their footsteps. In the bridge, they give a shoutout to their hometowns and emphasize that they always keep it real with each other, even if they don't always agree. The song concludes by celebrating their friendship and how they've grown together.
