DTP nigga!

I started with ten mack tens
And ten clips and ten pens
Got ten times richer in the span of ten years
Bitch I'm ten times two on a scale of one to ten
I'll battle ten crews with the strength of ten men

At nine, I was into crime, sex, and drugs
Pushin' an '89 Box Chevy sittin' on dubs
Nine thugs all ski masks, black suited with gloves
Break the imprinted chest with at least nine slugs

Man I ate eight clips with eight chicks
Watching eight flicks
You's 8-6 if you ate pussy with fake lips
I figure eight when my mind goes in circles
Did I do that or was it Mystikal and Urkel?

On to 7 AK 47, so what?
I got seven hoes stoppin' by at seven to fuck
Then put seven in your chest seven days a week
And add a foot for good measure you'll be seven feet deep

It goes 10-9-8-7-6-5-4
3-2-murder 1 lyrics at your door
These DTP niggas come ready for war
So don't start the fucking game
If you won't settle the score

I got six hoes distributing on six blocks
It's blistering from cops tryin' to stop these rocks from distributing
Six gun shots left
One pint of Vodka before this pimp will hit
It's street justice, now it's six hole in your casket

Give me a high five and I'll put that nine lower than your esophagus
Then smack you so hard that you have to come with 2Pacalypse
Five stars, twenty rims, five cars
I'd add more but I had to subtract one from five bars

I got four forty-fours on a rip on the floor
For you niggas talkin' shit
I'm fixin' to show you what for
I did four months in the bing instead of a hearst
Now it's DTP for life, dog for better or worse

I fuck three best friends
Ran on all three the same game
In these streets I'm a murderer
I got three alias names
I'm three times insane
Three shots will cave your brain
On 3 fire and ready, cock back and aim

It goes 10-9-8-7-6-5-4
3-2-murder 1 lyrics at your door
These DTP niggas come ready for war
So don't start the fucking game
If you won't settle the score

I'm packing two twenty-twos and twice the ammunition
But at Friday the 13th
What's up now superstition?
I'm a two timer with a couple of twins
Double jeopardy
With a pair of two deuces in the two seater Benz

I got one motto get dough till your gone
I got one main lady the rest of y'all is hoes
I'm numero uno with one more before I go
If you think I ain't the one bitch you too slow

And all you zero ass niggas ain't nothin' to me
Because I chop up O's, move dro', and chop keys
0-6 is my clique along with PC
Pretty Rick, Calil, V-Slim and Shondrez

It goes 1 to 10 and 10 to 1
Ludacris, Fake Feeze, and that nigga I-Twain
It goes 1 to 10 and 10 to 1
Ludacris, Fake Feeze, and that nigga I-Twain

It goes 10-9-8-7-6-5-4
3-2-murder 1 lyrics at your door
These DTP niggas come ready for war




So don't start the fucking game
If you won't settle the score

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "10 in 2" are an enumeration of various experiences related to the number 10. Ludacris starts the first verse by stating that he started with ten Mack 10s, ten clips, and ten pens, and how he became ten times richer in the span of ten years. He then claims that he is ten times two on a scale of one to ten, meaning that he is beyond excellence, and he compares his battle skills to that of ten men. Ludacris proceeds to talk about his past, where at nine, he was into crime, sex, and drugs, and he used to roll with nine thugs all ski masks, black suited with gloves. He also talks about eating eight clips with eight chicks while watching eight flicks, and his mind going in circles, whether he did something or if it was Mystikal and Urkel.


In the next verse, Ludacris references various numbers, such as seven AK 47, so what? He also talks about six hoes distributing on six blocks and how they face challenges from the cops trying to stop the distribution of drugs. Ludacris then proceeds to talk about various other numbers; five stars, twenty rims, and five cars, four second fourties on a rip on the floor for those who talk shit, three best friends that he slept with, and two twenty-twos, twice the ammunition. He later ends the song by stating that he is numero uno and how all the zero-ass n****rs are nothing to him.
