You Better Believe It
DJ Muggs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Xzibit]
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, we keep it bouncin like this
Yeah, huh, we keep it movin like
Listen, listen, look..

The most wanted man in America, I +Soul Assassinate+ your character
Quickly embarass ya as easy as fuck!
Pressin my buttons nigga is just like pressin your luck
China-white, a hundred percent, pure uncut
Detonate, Little Kuwait, I'm blowin shit up
Go ahead, make your mistake, and throw that punch
I'ma pull this forty-four Mag and make you strip
Then walk down the street naked, some gangsta shit
Make it complete, I yell dance, shoot at your feet (Dance nigga!)
Niggaz be weak, I found out you talk in your sleep
Since you a bitch, you came back, went in for more cash
Baseball both of your legs, I'll trip on your ass

[Chorus: Xzibit]
You never stop me cause you movin too slow
And we not the motherfuckers that you thinkin you know
It ain't the dollars it's the principle of it so love it or leave it
Forever hardcore, so you better believe it
In all black, full metal jackets that make you move back
Move units the same way I used to move crack
You never stop me cause you movin too slow
And we not the motherfuckers that you thinkin you know

[Xzibit]
Yeah, yeah, most of the time I'm totin a nine
In my waistline or behind this close to my spine
I write these, negative fines, and heat for lines
Last seen in a black trenchcoat, at Columbine
Peep the design, make your remains hard to find
I ain't afraid to exchange fire, just cross this line
Most niggaz got guns but still don't know how to aim right
I remain tight, sleep in a coffin, avoidin daylight

[Chorus]

[King Tee]
We sit upon a plateau, with guns and cash flow
Sadaam and Castro, terror to the last blow
I mash dough and half these cats you ass slow
It's relative, and all positively negative
It's like, 'cause flashin his gat, thinkin he cute
While I'm paranoid, cookin that loot, urgin to shoot
+Assassinate+ the +Soul+ and bring life
A fascinatin flow by King Trife, listen
I'm in a fucked up position, my baby momma keep bitchin
Niggaz is dry snitchin, and switchin
Not to mention, my cousin cookin crack in my kitchen
So why the fuck you think my braincells keep flippin?
Plus most niggaz round these parts got weak hearts
Call theyselves thugs when they let the heat spark
You mark, cross me and pay that tax
Punch you in the mouth and take that gat, motherfucker!





[Chorus 2X]

Overall Meaning

The song "You Better Believe It" by DJ Muggs featuring Xzibit and King Tee is a classic hip-hop track that oozes with streetwise bravado and gritty rhymes. Xzibit starts off the track with a boastful verse where he calls himself the most wanted man in America and threatens to embarrass anybody who crosses him. He spits about his love for drugs, violence, and his willingness to go to extreme lengths to assert his dominance. King Tee's verse follows up with his own set of braggadocious lyrics where he boasts about his wealth and street smarts. He raps about dealing with baby momma drama and being caught up in the drug trade, all while maintaining his cool demeanor.


The chorus of the song is a catchy hook that emphasizes the fact that they are unstoppable and always on the move. It's a testament to their hard-edged attitude and "forever hardcore" mindset. The production of the song is top-notch, with DJ Muggs creating an instrumental that has a menacing vibe, thanks to its heavy drums and eerie synths. The track is a prime example of the type of gritty hip-hop that was popular in the late 90s/early 2000s and showcases the talent of Xzibit and King Tee as two of the premier emcees of that era.
