All The Same
Bubba Sparxxx Lyrics

A fifth of Beam when you celebrate (That's white thangs)
Drinking Jim Beam whiskey to celebrate is a stereotypical 'white' thing to do

I'll be fine, didn't hesitate (That's white thangs)
Bubba is saying that he can handle his alcohol and is comfortable drinking, another 'white' stereotype

Sippin Henn, swervin wood grain (That's black thangs)
Sipping Hennessy and driving a car with wood grain accents are considered more of a 'black' thing to do

But to me, it's just all the same (It's all the same)
Bubba is saying that despite the perceived racial differences in alcohol and car preferences, he doesn't see them as significant

Damn, what a difference a year and a hundred and 12 days makes
Bubba is reminiscing about how much his life has changed in a little over a year

Came the longest country mile, thanks to nothin they gave me I made breaks
He is saying that he achieved success through his own efforts and not because of any assistance he received

Basically baby, I've been great, this ain't no recent development
Bubba has been doing well for a while and his success is not new

But now it's official I'm the doo-doo, and you ain't gon' keep 'em from smellin it
Bubba considers himself to be on top of his game and no one can deny his success

Do you have a speaking impediment bitch, or are you just at a loss for words
Bubba is questioning why someone is having trouble speaking or responding to him

Oh-no actually I'm monogonous, all that talk was false you heard
Bubba is correcting someone who accused him of being unfaithful, saying that he is actually faithful to his partner

So don't stall betty just slurp, of course I'ma tell you when
Bubba is being explicit about what he wants from the person he is addressing

I just bought me 5 new Polos, 'cause see I'm partial to that logo
Bubba likes the Polo clothing brand and recently purchased five new items from them

That horse is just so Bubba, that means rural like you don't know
Bubba identifies with the horse logo of Polo, saying it represents his southern, rural background

Regardless though I'm gon' glow, even in my birthday suit
Bubba is saying that he will shine and do well, even in his most vulnerable state

And when it comes to that soft, yes sir'ee I circle that too
Bubba is referring to a sexual act and saying that he participates in it as well

So when you feel it poundin in yo' chest and it causes a slight pain
Bubba is referring to the bass in his music and how it can be physically felt

Just shake it off and smile I got'cha, doin the white thangs ok
Bubba is telling his listeners not to worry about what they're doing, whether it's considered 'white' or 'black' because he accepts it all

I'm outdoors early mo'nin sellin this country crock
Backbone is saying that he is selling drugs early in the morning

Let's get this understood, gotta get me off the top
He is saying that he needs to make money through drug sales in order to support himself

I got them break down dimes and bomb with twenty-fives on the block
Backbone sells small amounts of drugs, specifically $10 worth and $25 worth

Of that 'naw that hawd, talkin 'bout that glass that straight drop
He is referring to crystal meth, a drug that comes in glass form and is highly addictive

Bartender, send me Remi, Henny or straight shot
Backbone is ordering expensive liquor at a bar

Then see me flee, high speed from eight cops
He is saying that he runs from the police when they are chasing him

Jumped the fence, went down the path, came out by Ms. Dot 'partment
Backbone escaped from the police by jumping a fence and taking a shortcut that ends up by his friend's apartment

Them folk say they sweepin, seekin 'He who hold stock'
People are saying that the police are on a mission to find the person who has the most drugs

Ay, run tell shawty, cut off, close shop
Backbone is telling someone to stop selling drugs and close their store

I told them boys down there, homes in the van was a NARC
Backbone warned his friends that the police who were driving a van were undercover law enforcement

Tell 'em 'Naw we don't sell that shit round here doc'
The response that Backbone recommends giving to the undercover police is that they don't sell drugs in that area

They bout four cars deep, sittin in the Croger parkin lot
The police are staging in a nearby parking lot with multiple cars

But we know when they comin, 'cause money bark a lot
Backbone is saying that they can tell when the police are coming because people start to freak out and make a lot of noise

I'm seein more clearly now, how subtle the difference between us might be
Bubba is realizing that despite superficial differences like race or income level, people are all basically the same

Mr. Fat Face got that big weight but still that seem just like me
He is talking about someone with a similar body type and how they are no different from him

I'm doin my thing despite these, little lifestyle expectations
Bubba is succeeding despite societal expectations or norms

y'all chose to set for me, shit I'm headed to where my next check waitin
He is saying that despite these expectations, he is following his own path to financial success

Look here, beat me I'm old school like LL J beatin off in your Regal
Backbone is making a joke, saying that his style is old school, like rapper LL Cool J

With six eights cross the deck, hittin, sittin on fifteen inch eagles
He is describing a type of car and its features

And Vogues, case closed, order one mo' get drunk, throw bo's
Vogue tires are a luxury car accessory and he is saying that he likes to drink and party

We in here puttin on, all night y'all 'til the place close
He is saying that he and his friends are partying and having a good time all night long
