Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Niggas (uh, Junior M.A.F.I.A) uh
Bitches (uh), ha (uh), uh (blast that shit, son)

(Niggas) grab your dick if you love hip hop
(Bitches) rub your titties if you love Big Poppa
Gotcha open off the words I say because
(This type of shit, it happens every day) Check it out, uh
Now who smoke more blunts than a little bit?
What are you a idiot?
Listen to the lyrics I spit like M1's
Got mad guns up in the cabin
'Cause Cease ain't the one for the dibbin' and dabbin' shit
I make it happen, you got your ass caught
All you saw was fire, from the Honda Passport
Or the M.P., what if you see, then I miss ya
I blow up spots like little sisters
G'wan grit ya teeth, g'wan bite your nails to the cuticles
Like Murray, my killings, be the most beautiful
Junior M.A.F.I.A. click, thick like Luke dancers
Niggas grab your gats, bitches take a glance at
The little one, pullin' over in the Land Rover
Playin' Big Willie style with a chauffeur, you know what I mean?
Stack the green, read all between the lines (uh)
A nigga act up, makes the bastard hard to find

(Niggas) grab your dicks if you love hip hop
(Bitches) rub your titties if you love Big Poppa
Gotcha open off the words I say because
(This type of shit, it happens every day) uh
(Niggas) grab your dicks if you love hip hop
(Bitches) rub your titties if you love Big Poppa
Gotcha open off the words I say because
(This type of shit, it happens every day) uh

(How you livin' Biggie Smalls?) I'm surrounded by criminals
Heavy rollers, even the sheisty individuals
Smokin' skunk and mad Phillies
Beatin' down Billy Badasses, cracks in stacks and masses (uh-huh)
If robbery's a class, bet I pass it
Shit get drastic, I'm buryin' you bastards
Big Poppa never softenin'
Take you to the church, rob the preacher for the offerin'
Leave the fucker coughin' up blood, and his pockets like rabbit ears
Covered the wife, Kleenex for the kid's tears
Versace wear, Moschino on my bitches
She whippin' my ride, countin' my one's, thinkin' I'm richest
Just the way players play, all day, every day
I don't know what else to say
I've been robbin' niggas since Run and them was singin' "Here We Go"
Snatchin' ropes at the Roxie, homeboy, you didn't know my flow
Detrimental to your health
Usually roll for self, I have son ridin' shotgun
My mind's my nine, my pen's my MAC-10
My target, all you wack niggas who started rappin'
Junior M.A.F.I.A. steelo, niggas know the half
Caviar for breakfast, champagne bubble baths
Runnin' up in pretty bitches constantly
The Smalls bitch, who the fuck it was supposed to be?

(Niggas) grab your dicks if you love hip hop
(Bitches) rub your titties if you love Big Poppa
Gotcha open off the words I say because
(This type of shit, it happens every day)
(Niggas) grab your dicks if you love hip hop
(Bitches) rub your titties if you love Big Poppa
Gotcha open off the words I say because
(This type of shit, it happens every day)

I used to pack MACs in Cadillacs
Now I pimp gats in the Ac's, watch my niggas backs (what?)
Nines in the stores, Glocks in the bags
Maxin' mini-markets, gettin' money with the Arabs (what?)
No question, confession, yes, it's the lyrical
Bitches squeeze your tits, niggas grab your genitals (uh)
Proteins and minerals, exclude subluminals
Big Momma shoots the game to all you Willies and criminals (uh)
I kick the reali' with my peeps all day (ha)
325's roll by with the windows down halfway
D-K-N-Y, oh my, I'm jiggy
It's all about the Smalls and my fuckin' nigga Biggie (what?)
Bitches love the way I bust a rhyme (ha-ha)
'Cause they all in line screamin' one more time




Niggas, grab your dicks if you love hip hop
Bitches rub-a-dub in the back of the club, straight up (uh)

Actually, this song originally had lyrics but no singing and was performed with musical instruments such as drums, gongs, and trumpets. Later, musician Lê Hữu Mục recorded music, put new lyrics and called it as a national anthem of Vietnam, named "The Call of the Fatherland". The song in this video is a lyric version of the original performed Millennial Anniversary of Hanoi by Ngọc Phan.

Dad’s great grandma’s family moved from China to Haiphong during the Qing Dynasty. After the fall of Dien Bien Phu, they returned back to China. The family already became French speaking Eurasians.

@mikeor-

I always wonder, why did Vietnam fall to Communism so easily, when the songs it had are so amazing? The lyrics may be too closely translated, but the words and the music itself are some of the best in East Asia itself. I know Vietnam is SE Asia, but it's better than the anthems of China, Japan, and Korea put together.

@E.Scarlett.K

In fact, the French forced Vietnam to choose that path.

Well, Ho Chi Minh and King Bao Dai used to ask for help from the US and the Allies, and no one help. Well, the Japanese and Chinese were no less as the Vietnamese patriots tried to learn from them and they betrayed the Vietnamese patriots.

Especially the Americans refused to recognize the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam's independence in 1945, if Vietnam did nothing, the French would return again. So yeah, Ho Chi Minh has to do something for his country.

And who is the superpower behind the US? Soviet Union, and with socialism, it's the only option when you are forced by the US and the Allies.
