Puppet Master
DJ MUGGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spark like a blunt's tip, somethin cavi
Makin greene like mitch, gives rap vocals dispatch
With every attempt, to have this game shook up
When dre cook up, every thug look up
Chronic got me on tilt, eyes bloodshot, heavy built
Lay a nigga out like quilt, clear to gill
I rock for rollers, from lowriders to henny toasters
Accept no imitations dre losin his stack
Is slim as chances, of michael jackson gettin his black fans back
My reputation's like a tec-9
Knock out the best in a circle, three minutes wreck time
See the hand is faster than the eye can chase it
Dre, b-real, soul assassins got potential buttons activated
No illusion I have you caught up in the rapture
Executive decisions from the motherf**king puppet masters
[b-real]
You are the puppet, I pull your string, I'm makin moves
I'm the master, causing you to do what you do
(repeat 4x)
[dre]
Puppet masters
(repeat 2x)
[b-real]
We're pullin strings, killin kings
Countin all pinky rings, seizin control of the whole game
I took a pull from the blunt, inhaled it
Blew the smoke from my lungs into the world of hip-hop
Civilians turn into soldiers by the millions
Assassins, we multiply, by the masses
Masters of the game (checkmate nigga!) every move you make
Through manipulation is the move I choose for you to take
You see, what I want you to see
And you turn into whatever I want you to be
Whatever it be, enemy or ally
The aftermath results in soul assassins, worldwide
From coast to coast, I got soldiers on post
Injectin you, with the high funk overdose
Dre and the hill, stayin real
All you non-believin ass niggaz, get your cap peeled
Executive order make your time shorter
Get your recorder, play it back, puff your chronic sack
Your mind body and soul have been captured
And taken captive, by the motherf**kin puppet masters
[b-real]
You are the puppet, I pull your string, I'm makin moves
I'm the master, causing you to do what you do
(repeat 4x)
[dre]
Puppet masters
(repeat 2x)
The soul assassin button has now been activated
Dr. dre and b-real are providin the verbal abuse
Any unauthorized duplication without the consent of my nigga muggs
May be fatal...
That's right, this is comin to you directly from the hill y'all

The lyrics of "Puppet Master" by DJ Muggs, featuring Dr. Dre and B-Real, speak about the power dynamics in the music industry where there are individuals with the power to control the behaviors and actions of others like puppets on strings. Dr. Dre's rap verse mentions his influence and reputation in the game as he lays out his formula for success and how he cuts off people who don't fit. He also boasts about his skills and his ability to knock out the best in circles. The chorus sung by B-Real underscores the theme of manipulation, where the master can make his puppet do whatever he wants. He refers to civilians as soldiers, and assassins come in numbers, highlighting the control and influence of the puppet master. He also talks about the idea of taking someone capture, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for dominance and power. Towards the end of the song, Dre mentions the "soul assassin button," which has been activated, and the duo provides verbal abuse to those who dare to challenge them.
