Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Faith Evans feat. Fatman Scoop's song Be Faithful are a call and response between the MC (Fatman Scoop) and the audience. The intro starts with the MC hyping up the crowd, calling on those with different denominations of money to put their hands up. As the song progresses, the MC requests single ladies to make noise and warns chickenheads (a derogatory term for women who are only looking for material gain) to be quiet. Faith Evans then comes in with the chorus, stating that she has never known a love like the one she is experiencing. The MC then continues, calling for ladies with long hair to raise their hands or make noise if they have short hair. The song then takes an unexpected detour as the MC recites a chant about the New York subway system before returning to the main theme of the party and who is "getting some tonight."
