It's On
E-40 featuring Bone Crusher and Cotton Mouf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(E-40) Motherfuckers want they pockets swell
Smebbin' now, dope train, shit, fuck it
(Rich) 19...90 ughh...415
(E-40) 40 up in this bitch
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
(E-40) Motherfucker! (E-40)
(E-40) 'Cause in a major motherfuckerin' way (E-40)
(Rich) It's on! (R.R)
(E-40) It's like knick-knack, paddy-whack give a dog a bone
I got a flow so sick it runs a temperature of hundred and one
On the daily, that's why it pays me
And over three billion served, yeah, I'm runnin' this like Mickey D
So drive through
If I let you slide through
Could you funk wit'a nigga wit' a resume
Rich'll never play
And every rapper can't come this way
So when I come bow down
100% I represent the east side of the Oaktown
I throw a boss type of flossy flow
But can you catch it
'Cause when it gets hectic
I'm well respected
And I'm that nigga serverin' tit for tat
Twamp for twamp
From the hills and the valleys into the deep swamps
I leave no stones untouched when I bust
It's strictly mental
As I load all your dope into my rental
And kick yo' ass to the curb
And when you get served
I let you know, Eastside's what I swerve
No I'm comin' up cheap(?), beat after beat
Makin' mail off a known to fluke(??)
[Chorus:]
I'm from the old school, yes indeed
I give my right arm for some good gold(?) weed
I went through a whole lot just to feed the tummy
And I refuse to lose the value money
My shit is real, blunts and phillies
Ain't nuttin' fake like them silicone titties
I'd rather make big bread instead
Regulate, get off in the bitches head
Just like all you toe-up hoes
Niggas want to test my testicles
Nigga you my nigga
If you don't get no damn bigga
Niggas don't want to see me when I'm off that damn liquor
Fo' scheezy, what's wrong wit' yo' pimpin', I gets busy
Bitches love when I'm limpin', 40 watch your roll
That's what they tell me back home, when I be gone, but it be on
[Chorus:]
(E-40) Motherfucker!
(Rich) You don't want to see me
(E-40) Cause in a major motherfuckin way
(Rich) Fool, it's on!
(E-40) It's on
(E-40) Knick-Knack, paddy-whack, give a dog a bone
Jack of all trades, ballin' like Jordan
You punk, fake inside the paint
In fact I know you can't
Do half of the shit you was claimin' in the county
Suckas on yo' jock
You claim you run the block
Polyurethane busta you cracked in half
Claim you foldin' bank
But I know yo' bank stank
I lived around the corner
I seen you fully smoked
Must I say some moe
You ate a buck `o` four
You sold your TV for a (??) cause it was way too late
And when they sent you up state I heard you gained some weight
So youse a baller, lyin to them youngsters quick
Got 'em thinkin' you sick and representin' yo' click
But youse a old school thinkin too much hype
Yo' bicentenial bike(?) it got ugghh... rally stripes
If they knew yo' identity
You'd probably be the victim of a stickin'
You ain't got to lie to kick it
(E-40) I ain't no laggin'(?)
(E-40) That nigga 40 and his cousin Richard Jackson
[Chorus:]
(E-40) Motherfucker!
(E-40) Doo-Doo-Doo-Do
(E-40) Da-Da-Da (x2)
(E-40) Motherfucker!
(E-40) Doo-Doo-Doo-Do
(E-40) Da-Da-Da (x1)
(E-40) 4-1-5-1-7-0-7 the bay area
(E-40) BIAATTCH!!
(E-40) There's a place in the bay
(E-40) Where the naked hooches play
(E-40) And a whole in the wall
(E-40) So we can see it all
(E-40) Bia-Biaatch
(E-40) Doo-Doo-Doo-Do
(E-40) Da-Da-Da (until fade)
The song "It's On" by E-40 featuring Bone Crusher and Cotton Mouf is a gangsta rap that talks about the harsh realities of life on the streets. Each rapper asserts their unique style, with Bone Crusher’s aggressive and deep vocals, Cotton Mouf's smooth and relaxed style, and E-40’s unique and distinctive voice characterized by slangs and altered pronunciation. The lyrics are littered with phrases related to the gangsta lifestyle, such as "motherfuckers," "dope train," "east side," "toe-up hoes," and "polyurethane busta."

The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, is a clear message that they are not to be messed with, and that it's on.

It's all in my head
As I load all your dope into my rental
As I steal your drugs and put them into my rented car
And kick yo' ass to the curb
And get rid of you
And when you get served
When you're defeated
I let you know, Eastside's what I swerve

Fo' scheezy, what's wrong wit' yo' pimpin', I gets busy
I'm good at being a pimp
Bitches love when I'm limpin', 40 watch your roll
Women are attracted to my style, be careful
That's what they tell me back home, when I be gone, but it be on
That's what people say about me when I'm not around
There's a place in the bay
Referring to a geographical location

Where women strip and perform sexual acts

A small, often run-down establishment
So we can see it all
So we can watch the show
BIAATTCH!!
