Oh, look at you, lil' ol' alcoholic-ass nigga

[Hamm]
Well, you know I got to have it, my brother, ain't nothing changed
You want to hit it?

[Quik]
Yeah, what's up?

[Hamm]
Hey man, you tell ME

[Quik]
Well, won't you put that shit right about
Here!

(Sucka)
(Sucka)
(Sucka)
(Ha?)
(Now a sucker raises up off of you)
Did you miss me?
It took a little time to get sucka-free
But since a young g it's PPC
Ain't no shame in the name
And still true to the game
Still serving suckers, just the same
No sense, and dwelling in the past tense
I roll with Quik, so you better check your ladies, gents
Cause I'ma teach her how to break you, right before I break her
After I make her, then I shake her
Yeah, I know, you heard it all before
But I can't deal, cause I see you're still simping for a hoe
Claiming pimp, but you're paying for the pu'
Silly sucker, punk motherfucker
They only flock and jock
Cause you're filling up they pocketbooks
And you're still judging bitches by they looks
When it's really all about what she can do for you
I do for me and still see a True
Ah-ha, really? Do you hear me, bro?
Got your name all on your lips, but your chick trips
Oh no, never will I lower to your level
And I got 17 for ya, devil
Too True to ever let a sucker like you
Make me do something that I don't want to do
I'm still real with it, you got's to deal with it
I serve that ass like a clocker, I don't give a fuck
But who you're doing, how you're doing
Or what you do it with
You better miss me with the dumb shit
So when you're speaking on the Playa Hamm or my nigga Quik
Everybody knows you're sucking on a fat dick
It ain't nothing to nothing in your ass, so that you see clear
Booming in your ear, so I know you hear




Bump this in your Coupe with your R&B want to-be-me
Trick-ass, I'm sucka-free

Overall Meaning

“Sucka Free” is a collaboration between rappers DJ Quik and Playa Hamm, and it was released in 1992, part of DJ Quik's second album "Way 2 Fonky". The song opens with a laidback conversation between the two artists, with Playa Hamm saying he's about to crack open a 40-ounce bottle of beer. DJ Quik remarks on his friend's drinking habit, and they proceed to discuss DJ Quik's album and the need for one more song. Hamm is willing to contribute, and Quik asks him to work on the "sucka-free" material he had rapped to him on the phone.


The lyrics of the song call out those who are "suckas", that is, people who bow down to others or put themselves in unfavorable positions. The hook "sucka, sucka-free" is a nod to the idea of independence and self-respect, and Playa Hamm and DJ Quik both take turns rapping about how they refuse to be suckas. They criticize those who pay for sexual favors, those who judge people based on appearance, and those who try to bring others down to their level.


The song itself has a laidback, West Coast sound that was popular in the early '90s, with samples from Demon Funkies' "Soul Power '74" and The Doors' "Soul Kitchen." The collaboration between DJ Quik and Playa Hamm was praised by critics and fans alike for their witty lyrics and effortless flow. "Sucka Free" remains a classic example of West Coast rap in the early '90s.
