Bun B and Pimp C formed UGK in the late '80s when their former crew, Four Black Ministers, fell apart. Based in Port Arthur, Texas, UGK signed with Jive and with 1992's 'Too Hard to Swallow' began a series of Southern gangsta rap albums that were successful sellers. Bun B formed the side project Mddl Fngz in 2000, but his main concern was still UGK. Things came to halt in 2003 when Pimp C was sentenced to eight years in prison on an aggravated gun assault charge. Bun B carried on solo, making numerous appearances on other artists' tracks and then in 2005 releasing both the mixtape Legends and his debut album, Trill, a Top Ten hit. With Pimp C seeing early release in late 2005, Bun B returned to UGK and a self-titled double album from the duo dropped in 2007. Tragedy struck in late 2007 when Pimp C died suddenly, leaving Bun B to return to a solo career. His second solo album, II Trill, arrived in May of the next year. Trill O.G., his third solo album, was released in August of 2010.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching 35,000 feet
Hope you're enjoying your ride through Wonderland
I am your flight attendant Boss Lady
Turn your bottles upside down and your blunts in an upright position
And please remain seated until the flight has come to a complete stop

Thanks for flying the friendly skies
With your friendly captain Snoop D-O-double-G aka The Homey"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Pronto" by Bun B and DJ Ideal featuring Snoop Dogg and Soulja Boy are about having a good time and enjoying life. The song is a celebration of success and wealth, with references to expensive cars, VIP treatment, and making money. Soulja Boy's verse, in particular, highlights his status as a successful rapper with a large fanbase and a lot of money. The chorus repeats the word "pronto," which means "quickly" or "at once," emphasizing the urgency of the party vibe of the song.

The verses also reference other iconic rap figures like Batman and Dikembe Mutombo, adding to the sense of larger-than-life swagger that characterizes the song. The repeated call to "break it down, spread it round" echoes the party mood of the song and encourages listeners to let loose and have fun.

One interesting aspect of the song is the use of the word "ciz-all" in the chorus. This appears to be a slang term used by Soulja Boy and his crew, though it's unclear exactly what it means. Another curious detail is the flight attendant announcement at the end of the song, which adds a surreal touch to the otherwise upbeat and carefree vibe.
