Fiend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Do you know who you fuckin' with?)
[Don't start no shit, there won't be no shit]
[Mystikal] (Fiend)
I'm the tarantula on the caterpillar
I'm the 18-wheeler rolling over the armadillo
I'm the orange-and-blue fire comin' from under the skillet
I'm the dick in the pussy, I'm the fly on the shit
I'm the motherfuckin', concrete-crushing torpedo
I'm that loud, hard [thumping sound] that killed the mosquito
I'm the motherfuckin' red ant draggin' the bettle
Nigga remember me when you was shootin' up? I was that needle
When you coughin', I'm that (cough) that comes from your chest
When you dead, I'm the maggots that's eatin' your flesh
I'm every last sad note from the violin
I'm the hammer that hit that firing pin
I was the voice in your head that was tellin' you not to try it again
Now I'm the carbon dioxide that replace your oxygen
I'm the mysterious, Mystikal monument
I'm the man, I'm the south, I'm the muthafuckin' prince
[Chorus: x8]
[Fiend]
Me? A bad motherfucker, boy
Hater destruction, pistol bustin (BHAW, BHAW)
I'm the chubby one cussin, verbally keep em (?)
Herbally keep em puffin, all the weed that I need
Smokin' some trees, I groove from some left over seeds
Leave it to the soldier's creed
on the set where they pretends (TAKE THAT)
Throwin' some hot shit nigga (TAKE THAT BOY) faded all my ends
Give a fuck if it were ten
I want nine and the change (GIVE MY CHANGE BOY)
Doing strange things behind mine and my change, boy (COMIN, COMIN)
I'm a bad man, let it be known to any cop (FUCK y'ALL)
Use a ten, many glocks and got plenty in stock (GOT MORE NIGGA)
If anything the tank hot, that paper keep us heated
Computer can't delete it
And penicillin can't defeat it
[Chorus: x8]
The lyrics to Fiend's song 'Do You Know?' are intense, blunt and in-your-face, making it a classic in the world of Southern rap music. The chorus repeats the question: 'Do you know who you fuckin' with?' and warns against starting any trouble that might lead to someone ending up in a dire situation. The verses are packed with aggressive metaphors, illustrating the power and influence that the rappers have in their community.
The lyrics to the first verse are delivered by Mystikal, who compares himself to a tarantula on a caterpillar, an 18-wheeler crushing an armadillo, and fire coming from underneath a skillet. He then goes on to describe himself as a dick in the pussy and a fly on the shit, before proclaiming himself to be a concrete-crushing torpedo, a loud thumping sound that can kill a mosquito, and a red ant dragging a beetle. Mystikal even goes as far as comparing himself to the very maggots that eat away at a dead body. All in all, the verse is an unabashed declaration of his power and superiority.
Fiend's verse is not as graphic as Mystikal's, but it's still hard-hitting. He talks about his love for smoking weed and his ability to handle any haters with ease. Fiend describes himself as a bad motherfucker who can verbally destroy his opponents and bust a cap in them if necessary. He boasts about having a lot of guns and ammunition and says that he's always ready to defend what's his. Fiend also mentions being comfortable behind bars and says that he doesn't care if he only gets nine dollars and some change as long as he gets to keep his freedom. The overall message of the song is clear: Don't mess with these guys unless you want to face the consequences.
