Uh-huh
Stunt 101
I'll teach you how to stunt
My wrists stay rocked up
My TV's pop up in a Maybach Benz
I'll teach you how to stunt
My Bentley GT got smoke gray tints
I'll teach you how to stunt
My neck stay blingin', my rims they gleamin', I'm shinin', man
I'll teach you how to stunt
I see you schemin', nigga, keep on dreamin', I'll hurt ya, man
I'll teach you how to stunt
Seven series BM, six series Benz (uh-huh)
Twenty-four inches, Giovanni rims (yeah)
R1 one wheel when I'm on one of them
Ma, that boy out there actin' a fool that's him
They say I've changed, man, I'm gettin' paper, I'm flashy
They like me better when I'm fucked up and ashy
My royalty check's the rebirth of Liberace
Stunt so hard, everybody gotta watch me
And I don't really care if it's platinum or white gold
Long as the VS bling, look at that light show
In the hood they say, "Fifty, man, your sneaker look right, yo"
Just can't believe Reebok did a deal with a psycho
Banks is a sure thing, y'all niggas might blow
I'm finna drop that, so I suggest you lay low
Buck, he from Cashville, Ten-a-key, nigga
Gettin' them ten a ki', save ten for me, nigga
I'll teach you how to stunt
My wrists stay rocked up
My TV's pop up in a Maybach Benz
I'll teach you how to stunt
Nigga, you can't see me
My Bentley GT got smoke gray tints
I'll teach you how to stunt
My neck stay blingin', my rims they gleamin', I'm shinin', man
I'll teach you how to stunt
I see you schemin', nigga, keep on dreamin', I'll hurt ya, man
I'll teach you how to stunt
Now I'm sensing a lot of tension now that I'm rappin'
But the kids used to look up to you, what happened?
Me on the contrary, hand covered with platinum
Different color coupes but I'm in love with the black one
On point, 'cause you get R.I.P.'s when slackin'
So the stash box big enough to squeeze the MAC in
Yeah, I'm fairly new but I demand some respect
'Cause I already wear your advance on my neck
I'm fresh off the jet, then I breeze to the beaches
Blue Yankee fitted, G-Unit sneakers
I already figured out what to do with all my features
Decorate the basement, full of street sweepers
When it comes to stuntin' there's nothin' you can teach us
We're in a different time zone, your records don't reach us
Nah, I ain't here to save the world, just roll up a blunt
Come with me out front
I'll teach you how to stunt
My wrists stay rocked up
My TV's pop up in a Maybach Benz
I'll teach you how to stunt
Nigga, you can't see me
My Bentley GT got smoke gray tints
I'll teach you how to stunt
My neck stay blingin', my rims they gleamin', I'm shinin', man
I'll teach you how to stunt
I see you schemin', nigga, keep on dreamin', I'll hurt ya, man
I'll teach you how to stunt
The kid's so icy, you don't have to like me
In a throwback jersey with the throwback Nikes
I know you probably seen me with Cash Money from back in the days
The only thing changed is the numbers on the Range
I bought me an old school and blew out the brains
The Roc the Mic tour, I threw off my chain
My Sprewell's spinnin', man, I'm doin' my thing
And whodi now in trouble now that you in the game
Come on now, we all know gold is gettin' old
The ice in my teeth keep the Cristal cold
G-Unit, homie, actin' like y'all don't know
Look, I can't even walk through the mall no more
I just pull up, get out, and get all the hoes
They never seen doors lift up on a car before
Don't be mad at me, dawg, that's all I know
Is how to show these fugazies how it's 'posed to go, yeah
I'll teach you how to stunt
My wrists stay rocked up
My TV's pop up in a Maybach Benz
I'll teach you how to stunt
Nigga, you can't see me
My Bentley GT got smoke gray tints
I'll teach you how to stunt
My neck stay blingin', my rims they gleamin', I'm shinin', man
I'll teach you how to stunt
I see you schemin', nigga, keep on dreamin', I'll hurt ya, man
I'll teach you how to stunt
The song "Stunt 101" by G-Unit is a rap song that comprises four verses that are rapped by each member of the group, namely 50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. The song is all about flaunting material possessions such as high-end cars, jewelry, and other luxury items. It is a great example of braggadocio rap, which is characterized by boasting about one's wealth, fame, and achievements while simultaneously insulting rivals or detractors.
The song starts with the chorus, where 50 Cent boasts that he can teach anyone how to stunt, which is a slang term for showing off one's luxury items. In each of the verses, one member of the group shares his own story of wealth and success. Young Buck raps about his BMW and Benz cars and his custom-made rims. Lloyd Banks boasts about his Reebok deal, royalty checks, and sensational jewels. Tony Yayo emphasizes that G-Unit stands out from the competition because of their extensive collection of famous brands.
Overall, the song is an excellent example of the extravagant and materialistic culture of rap music in the early 2000s. The lyrics are focused on wealth-building, wealth display, and hood rivalry. It remains a classic rap song even after two decades.
