Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa
Alright
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah
I fuckin' love this one (Me too)
Clap your hands with me baby now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
All the little girls in the little towns
C'mon out they house when I come around
Mama's screamin', "Girl get back here now"
But they can't help it Mama cause I'm
A smooth talkin'
Base walkin'
Motherfuckin'
Hurricane
Stuck inside a rocket
Baby, I'm never stoppin'
I'm always shootin' for the socket
Comin' like a comet
Don't believe it
You can watch it
Baby, I'm
A smooth talkin'
Base walkin'
Motherfuckin'
Wreckin' ball
I'm pedal to the floor
Always needin' more
Hand on your throat
I'm the powder in your nose
Make you curl your fuckin' toes
Baby, ya oh
All them little boys with their little beefs
Wanna sit around and hate on me
You're just mad cause your buddies love me (Hell yeah)




And you can't stand that she keeps on callin' me
Careful, sweetie I can smell the jealousy
That shit's louder than my dankest weed
And to you, baby I say, "R.I.P"
You got that disease that's killin' freely
Folks like you infected with envy
You can g'one and die slow and remember me
A smooth talkin'
Base walkin'
Motherfuckin'
Hurricane
Stuck inside a rocket
Baby, I'm never stoppin'
I'm always shootin' for the socket
Comin' like a comet
Don't believe it
You can watch it
Baby, I'm
A smooth talkin'
Base walkin'
Motherfuckin'
Wreckin' ball
I'm pedal to the floor
Always needin' more
Hand on your throat
I'm the powder in your nose
Make you curl your fuckin' toes
Baby, ya oh
Uhh
All the people on the streets wanna stop and talk and meet with me
Cause they know that I'm the fucking King
So they wanna lick all on my rings
No, you'll never find another just like me
In time I know that you will look around and see (See)
That I'm that Motherfucker, baby
Head Honcho, CEO, Commander-in-Chief
Said, I'm that Motherfucker, baby
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Smooth talkin'
Base walkin'
Motherfuckin'
Smooth Talker
I'll shout it from the motherfuckin' streets
I'M THAT MOTHERFUCKER, BABY

This imagery suggests a powerful and irresistible force, someone who is both confident and unstoppable.

His music was so big in New Zealand in the mid to late 90s. His hits played at every party in the garage and clubs. I forgot how many bangers he has.
