Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yeah
Niggaz is travellin everywhere word up
I perform in the south
You know I put on _fish'n'grits_ and shit like that ya heard?
Word up; I perform in the west I put on..
_Ain't nuttin like a sunny day in cali for ni a_ ya heard?
I'm on the east I'm rockin _t.O.N.Y._
In the midwest I put on a little no limit or some shit like that
Word is bond

We got that firewater (what?)
Y'all want that water-water (what?)
We got that firewater (what?)
Y'all want that water-water (what?)
We got that firewater (what?)
Y'all want that water-water (what?)
We got that firewater what?
We got that firewater what?

Yo, yo
Yo I'msa gangsta, so y'all niggaz, know that I mask
I smoke, mad weed, while I drink a v-8 splash
Niggaz, fuck with me, and you will get smashed
I'm gettin, head in the whip, and I won't even crash
I'm sayin, niggaz don't fuck no mo', all we get is head
Niggaz don't play with bread and butter, all we count is bread
My niggaz from, mississipp-i, still get high
Off the water-water, slangin quarter-quarter
Across the border border, seargeant slaughter slaughter
My down south niggaz, yo we got mad game
And we both, from the ghetto, so we kick it the same
You call your weed chronic, we call our weed hydro
You call your shit doja, we call out shit gamble
From the calliope to iraq, we still get dough
We call a, bitch is a bitch, and a hoe is a hoe
Penalty the label, in new york, we on cable

Check it out
Basically, you silly niggaz ain't facin me
I turn my back and then you chase me hate me daily
And you attempt to limp like youse a pimp
But youse a shrimp, you can't play me
See we the brothers with the hot tracks
Puttin butter on the hot wax
You want to ball with the top cats
Well you talk about fat gats
You can't rap nigga stop that, got that
You want to act like you cock back
Couldn't hold a nigga jockstrap
We can take it to the streets when the party people meet
Tell the niggaz take a seat take a beat and cold rock that
Back to the m-i, mill'n-dol'-mill'n-dol'-i
Mill'n-dol'-mill'n-dol'-i, humpback, humpback
Watch a nigga jump back, dead I
Spittin that upon the red eye, flyin to the n.Y.
Niggaz high from coast to coast
Keepin it close, put it in a post
E.t. The coach, niggaz want to be me the most
You boast and brag and sport the sag
Cause I dope rhyme, niggaz never want to quote rhymes
Try to bite and then you choke rhyme
Rollin up a smoke rhyme
Comin out with your wrote rhyme
Ain't nuttin but some broke rhymes
Me I got the right rhymes, always comin out tight rhymes
Break a nigga see the light rhymes
Want to fight rhymes? Naw nigga not tonight rhymes
Get your girl I just might rhyme
And the story go, for the thugs even nore know
The gory flow, can't be faded
Prayed it down, laid it down, and I'm gone
Take double-steps turn around and show em

Now it's that crooked letta hot shit
Old block rockin locked quick
Rhymes shined with hot spit
Y'all speak about shine I write rhymes
Then I burn clicks, and give em this
Your platinum plaque's counterfeit
You shipped gold, is what I was told
Your airplay was bought hits
Payola motorala cell phones
Where you spent all these ends, then he's gone
In the wind poof, ain't no proof, a super sleuth
Couldn't find his shoes
I wrap heads, like bad news
And bust bass and blow a fuse
Then I move to baton rouge like, snoop on the move
I'm like megatron, an underground rap shit phenomenon
I blow up in my prime (and after that?)
Then I move to cybertron, with omega supreme
But it seems that I gotta sit back and pray (back and pray)
To god that these niggaz won't take me away (why?)
I say it seems that I gotta sit back and pray
To god that these niggaz won't take me away

Firewater huh?
You see them niggaz bouncin
Want to see them niggaz bouncin
Want to see them niggaz bouncin!!
Sittin on whatever y'all fuckin niggaz sittin on
That chrome shit huh?
Seventeen inch shit
Twenty inch shit
Twenty-two inch shit
Fuck that shit, let the shit glisten
Let the shit glisten
Let the shit glisten!! Huh?
Let the shit glisten! Huh?
If y'all niggaz ain't got a car wash
Y'all niggaz need to go uptown right now
And get your shit washed
And get the inside done up, you feel?
You feel me?
Get that inside done up
Make sure your speakers is blowin
Cause if the shit is at a low level
It ain't even penetratin
Turn the shit the fuck up, huh?




Thugged out, crooked lettaz, what the fuck is up?
Turn shit the fuck up!

Overall Meaning

In the song Firewater by Crooked Lettaz, the lyrics describe the different regions of the United States where the group performs, with each area having its own unique style and culture. The lyrics mention a range of activities, such as smoking weed, getting head, counting bread, and slangin quarter-quarter, which represent different aspects of the hip-hop lifestyle. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "We got that firewater," is a reference to alcohol, particularly whiskey, which is often referred to as "firewater" in hip-hop culture. The lyrics suggest that the group is offering listeners a potent and intoxicating musical experience, akin to the effects of consuming alcohol. The song is characterized by its fast-paced and rhythmic flow, and its blending of regional slang and references, which highlight the rich diversity of hip-hop culture.


One interesting fact about the song Firewater is that it is part of a larger album called Grey Skies, which was released in 1999 and received critical acclaim. The album was produced by David Banner, who is known for his work with major hip-hop artists such as T.I. and Lil Wayne. The lyrics of Firewater reflect the larger themes of the album, which explore the struggles and aspirations of African Americans living in the American South.


Another interesting fact is that Crooked Lettaz was a relatively short-lived group, consisting of two members, Kamikaze and David Banner. Kamikaze left the group after the release of Grey Skies, while David Banner went on to achieve greater success as a solo artist. Despite this, the group is still regarded as an important influence on the Southern rap scene, and its members are cited by many younger artists as inspirations.


Other interesting facts about the song may include its production process, its impact on contemporary hip-hop, or its cultural significance within African American communities. Unfortunately, the chords for the song are not available at this time.
