Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what the fuck I been doin?
But this what they want
I?d like to give a R.I.P. in advance
For all my enemies, die quick niggas

Straight outta Southside
Crazy muthafucka named Bank-o
Crack rap, million dollar bankroll
Black Lac for my outta state hoe

These niggas talk gangsta but really ain't tho?, no
I?mma stormy night, you a rainbow
I?mma G, tight clothes ain't my thang bro
Fuck the police with an HIV carrier

No Vaseline in the M-16
I'm ridin? dirty but the Bent pimp clean
And gotta body like I feed it creatine
My birth stone?s a diamond, my favorite color's green
I smoke lean and piss Louis the XIII

Yeah, why?all muthafucka shot my momma crib up
My sister, my niece in there
I'm getting? why?all niggas hit for 500 dollars
I?ma be in London muthafucka

My name is Yayo a crazy nigga don't play tho?
I hit?cha planters peanut wit' the .80
Al Qaeda, expert merkin?
When all my niggas die they gon? have 80 virgins

I'm the 'Burb swervin? ?cause I'm drunk and I'm high
Wit that glock and pump that mac and .45
Fuck the police they killed Sean Bell
Fuck the feds I still deal fishscale

Mini me, niggas wanna copy my style
But nigga lame lawyers ain't good for trial
Pull up to the projects and throw the kids 100's
Drop top Phantom got him sick in his stomach

These niggas is weak, son
Lookin? like Cookies ?n? Cream to me
Bad day, I?ma fly a man in a heartbeat
These niggas know any nigga can get it

Nigga this is Boo-Boo but you can call me 50
Fuck with me, the police?ll have to get me
760 I, I ride I'm a rider, Molotov I?ll toss that, you're on fire
Beef pop, I?ll stop talkin? ?n? get quiet
And make a muzzle on the Tech look like it?s on fire

My shit jammed and unjammed like I planned it
Like I was just takin? a breather, I'm back blamin?
I'm Charles Bronson, Dirty Harry wit? the cannon
You shootin? back but you ain't hittin? shit, I'm still standing
When shit don't go down smooth I don't panic
Switch pistol, switch hands, switch targets hit ya man

Yea, nigga I'm straight outta Southside
I'm back on dat gorilla shit, dat cold hearted killa shit




Nigga stunt wit?cha mouth wide we move around militant
We trained for some iller shit, muthafucka Southside

Overall Meaning

The song "Straight Outta Southside" by G-Unit is a gangsta rap track with lyrics that are vulgar, aggressive, and threatening. The song contains several references to violence, drug use, and gang activity. The artist seems to be acknowledging his mistakes and admitting that he doesn't know what he has been doing. However, he wants his enemies to know that they will die quickly. The phrase "Straight Outta Southside" is an homage to N.W.A's hit single "Straight Outta Compton" and is also a reference to the South Jamaica neighborhood in Queens where the group was formed.


The artist introduces himself as Bank-o, a "crazy muthafucka" with a million-dollar bankroll and a Black Cadillac for his out-of-state lover. He also disses other rappers who talk gangsta but aren't real gangsters, mocking them as "rainbows" on a stormy night. He claims to be a true G, not interested in tight clothes, and expresses his disdain for the police. The artist reveals that his birthstone is a diamond, his favorite color is green, and he smokes lean while pissing Louis the XIII.


Yayo, another member of G-Unit, spits rhymes about his crazy persona, how he attacks his enemies with a .80, and how he is an expert in taking out Al Qaeda members. He also references the Sean Bell shooting by the police and the fact that he still deals "fishscale" despite the "feds" trying to stop him. In general, the song is a hype track that people who enjoy gangsta rap will enjoy.
