Buckshot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People say a 'thug' is somethin I shouldn't be
Some say 'death' is somethin I shouldn't see
I had to be me, I had to do what I had to do
Only hung wit niggas who said "I ain't mad at you, buck, good"
Now I'm back in the hood, puffin the backwood
Sportin the all black hood, regroup it
Wit my niggas who stay shootin
Tell me I'm bug, for sayin I'm a thug
In this new millennium I'mma give you a slug
It's real now, this is how I feel now
Niggas ain't have a reason to kneel down, till now
Shit wanna know, why I'm back in crow hill, now?
It's more bills now and everybody real now
So all I wanna do is pop and sip
Roll up and then precede to hit the back of the spliff
And be who I be, t-h-you-g
This is live shit, now this ain't a fuckin movie
Niggas see me and they wanna do me
Shit, not to mention the groupies
That wanna get next to my groups, see
Aw man, it's all over wit
Buck on some wack chauvinistic shit
You see this, when I show you this, muthafucka
[chorus 2x: swan]
One nigga teach two niggas, three teach four niggas
And them niggas teach more niggas
And when we blast thatta be the biggest blast ya heard
And thems is my last words
[buckshot]
When I big my niggas up, everybody give it up
What, thorough from the borough of brook, we live it up
Mad change, mad bitches givin me brain
Livin this life, of so many years the pain
Of a lotta niggas I lost, beein the boss
Mad niggas jealous of the way, little man floss
So of course, my course of action, is to keep buckin wit passion
Till the muthafuckin last one is standin
When the bomb is landin, everybody knew it was the original man and
Buckshot, the bdi thug is here, don't ask me shit,
Muthafucka watch my stare
[chorus 2x]
In Buckshot's song "Final Words," the rapper reflects on his identity as a "thug" and the violence that surrounds him. He acknowledges that some people may criticize his lifestyle or his choice of friends, but he insists that he has to be true to himself and do what he feels is necessary. He raps about hanging out with his fellow "niggas" and wearing all black, hinting at the dangerous and outlaw nature of their activities. He also touches on the idea of retaliation, stating that he will give his enemies a "slug" if he needs to.
Later in the song, Buckshot expresses his pride in his community, shouting out his "niggas from the borough of brook" and acknowledging the struggles that he and his peers have faced. He admits that the "pain" of losing friends and dealing with jealousy has been a part of his life, but he embraces his role as a leader ("being the boss") and vows to keep fighting passionately until he is the last one standing. The chorus, sung by Swan, emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge and power with one's peers, suggesting that this is the key to achieving success and making a difference.
Overall, "Final Words" is a powerful and introspective track that showcases Buckshot's talent for storytelling and his commitment to keeping it real.

Muthafucka watch my stare
You better watch my gaze and my actions because I am not to be taken lightly
