Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rob base Snoop Dogg to get it rockin' now
Big money talking, Mayweather, Paquiao
Gucci soft up cause he cant hard top it now
Now what you boys got a death wish
I beat a mothafucka' uglier than precious
Real nigga, you can find me where the x is
Whippin' in the kitchen, both hands ambidextrous
So I dropped a hundred in the streets I don't buy stocks
Tell a little mothafucka' get his shine pa
Good fellas hood fellas living on my block
Nigga got a problem, I solve em (solve 'em)
A couple keys yes nigga we'll rob em (rob 'em)
Got tha 9 milli in my pants, case you niggas wanna dance
Leave a mothafucka' shakin' like Harlem (Harlem)
I said we came in this bitch tonight to murder things
We gonna leave this bitch tonight a murder scene
In black from head to toe we murder clean
Do you know the name of the click that murder teams
What's up?
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
Always on that flow shit
Jeezy Montana
Cocaine capital
That would be Atlanta
One triple O where I'm from
That's a homo
Nigga catch ya slippin' where I'm from
That's a
Next up a homicide
Ain't nobody seens shit
Wake up to a homicide,
Ain't nobody dreams to
Welcome to the home of the
Home invasion
D-E-A like to raid,
You might get your home raided
Went up in it it l
Ike a halfback from the Raiders
Bring a half mac
Anything for that paper
2 door phantom
Avatar blue though
Parked outta space shit
We call that bitch Pluto
Grown living legend
In the hood I'm a hero,
On that minute fourteen
Like a guitar hero
Came a long way
From that toilet bowl white though
But I'm a be alright though
I said we came in this bitch tonight to murder things
We gonna leave this bitch tonight a murder scene
In black from head to toe we murder clean
Do you know the name of the click that murder teams
What's up?
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
Always on my hard shit, joey Viagra
Pull up make em car sick, abracadabra
Presto magic, Bugatti's on the scene
Party's all around me like its gotti on the scene
Your money N-B-A N-F-L all legal
My niggas on the block going hard pumpin' diesel
However do you want it
Joe stay blunted
I gets off but the hoe stay on it
This is my castle but it ain't white though
Ice so bright shit shine like a light show
This my life yo go get yours bitch
Ball till we fall till the drugs hit the ball pit
Cocaine cowboys that's my thing
Do it for my niggas locked down in the bing in the state
In the Fed pen my name rings
I don't need your respect the streets crowned me King
I said we came in this bitch tonight to murder things
We gonna leave this bitch tonight a murder scene
In black from head to toe we murder clean
Do you know the name of the click that murder teams
What's up?
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
(Ha Ha) Slow down son you killin' 'em
The song "Ha Ha" by Fat Joe ft. Young Jeezy centers on the artists' dominance and success in the music industry. The first verse references Jay-Z and Rob Base as artists who have contributed to the thriving music scene in the city. They also mention sports icons Mayweather and Paquiao and fashion designer Gucci as symbols of financial success. The rappers assert their strength and bravado, claiming they can beat up anyone who has a problem with them. They also brag about their exceptional cooking skills, boasting of their ability to use both hands (ambidextrous) in the kitchen.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "slow down son, you're killin' 'em," emphasizes the artists' immense talent and adds to their swagger. The second verse continues the theme of violence and crime, with Jeezy mentioning homicides and home invasions in the Atlanta area.

Fat Joe comes back with lyrics about his drug-dealing past and his success in the music industry. He describes his cars and jewelry in detail and calls himself a "living legend."

This is my castle but it ain't white though
This is my home, but it is humble and not luxurious
