In the early part of the decade, several American politicians attacked rappers, including the Geto Boys (though most famously Ice-T and 2 Live Crew). A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill (actually a dwarf) lost an eye in a shooting incident with his girlfriend helped sales for their third album, We Can't Be Stopped, which showed Bushwick on the cover being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. They responded to being dropped by Geffen on the title track ("We Can't Be Stopped"), and "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" became a hit in the rap community.

First of all I laugh
(Then what?)
Smash their ass like a goddamn carcrash
So if you wanna try your luck
C'mon...play pussy'n'get fucked
Ass-hole snicker and get beat
Cause Diana Ross be comin' at your ass fool
And have you singing the blues
To all now bicker and I'll pound
Let's go around
Imma take ya, shake ya
Then brake ya down
And if you kick Imma pick up a stick
And beat your ass to the size of your dick
And that's small
And you think you're mackin' when you're lackin?
Bushwick is packin!
I'll show your girl how a real man feels
Large things come in very small packages
And while your gettin' on your knees to fuck
A nigga like me's still standin' up
Any bitch will tell you:
As long as he has a big dick, size ain't shit
Liftin weights'll make you bigger
But lift me you'll be a dead-ass nigga
You wanna squabble coz ya think you're tougher?
(Automatic unloading) squabble that motherfucker!
Those are called bullets, they got 'em in every state
To keep niggaz like you in place
And since I'm a trigga happy nigga
Look for your place to be in a
Cemetery, you goddamn sucka
Lying next to another bad motherfucka
Reputation ain't shit coz see:
What you done did in the past don't excite me
V-I-see-T-O-are-why
You can't have it...na-na-na-na-na!
Any motherfucker wanna get with Bushwick?
Bring it on 'cause your size ain't shit!
I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
The penitentiary became my residence
It wasn't nothin' for me to disfigure
You little nickle-and-dime-assed niggaz
Shank a motherfucker in a minute
And if a riot was goin' down I was in it,
Get off work and discuss my pardon
Chill out and smoke weed with tha warden
Take a motherfucker like you
And without remorse this is what I'll do:
Punk you out and make you be my bitch
And let a nig get shit on his dick for 1 cigarette!!
Any harder then my dick and you're talkin' shit
Carry on motherfucker-
Before the state convict me of assult or something hyper
And I'll end up right back at Riker's, Like a sniper
I'm scoping you out,
You won't even know when I'm takin' your ass out,
I'm equipt and viscious, tolerate no misses,
Rougher than Ulysses when it comes to bitches
Bitch, yea I'm talking to you, some a y'all niggaz are bitches too
You gotta be crazy as hell to try ta fuck up ******
**** 'cause your size ain't shit.
Some stupid motherfucker said he had an advantage
Fuck my size, you wanna do damage?
Contestant number one c'mon down!
You're the next motherfucker Imma clown
So don't get excited like your bid is exact
Cause you ain't winnin' shit but a goddamn smack
When I throw a motherfuckin' right cross
And slap the taste out your goddamn mouth
Now where's the height comin' from?
Don't make me use this goddamn gun
Cause I'll give your ass hell then charge ya rent
Fuck you up like a goddamn accident
Innocent is how I look
Cause a nigga this size ain't supposed to cook
You took me for a sucker that day...
So bitch you find out the hard way:
Size ain't shit!!
"Size Ain't Shit" is a song by the American hip hop group Geto Boys from their third studio album, "The Geto Boys." The song features the rappers, Bushwick Bill, Scarface, and Willie D. The lyrics of the song are all about how size doesn't matter when it comes to dominance and strength. Bushwick Bill is the star of the song, and his rap verse explains how he laughs at people who underestimate his size but he can still take them down. He also describes how he has been in prison and has become a violent person who can shank someone in a minute. In the second and third rap verses, Scarface and Willie D rap about their own experiences, explaining how they are tough regardless of their size.
The meaning behind the song is that size isn't the only factor when it comes to power or strength. The Geto Boys suggest that there is more to being tough than physical size. They also highlight the harsh realities of prison life, where the tough prey on the weak. The song has become an anthem for people who are overlooked, underestimated, or judged based on their appearance.
Line by Line Meaning
First of all I laugh
When people underestimate my size, I first laugh it off
Smash their ass like a goddamn carcrash
If they try to mess with me, I will beat them up badly
So if you wanna try your luck
If you want to compete with me, be ready to lose
C'mon...play pussy'n'get fucked
Don't act weak if you can't handle me
Ass-hole snicker and get beat
If you think you can piss me off with your insults, I will beat you
Your a bad motherfucker if you dare to compete
Only a brave and confident person can compete with me and survive
Cause Diana Ross be comin' at your ass fool
If you mess with me, you will regret it, just like the song by Diana Ross called 'I'm Coming Out'
And have you singing the blues
You will be so hurt that you will be crying and singing sad songs
To all now bicker and I'll pound
If you talk back to me, I will beat you up
Let's go around
Let's fight and see who wins
Imma take ya, shake ya
I will beat you up badly
Then brake ya down
I will leave you physically and emotionally broken
And if you kick Imma pick up a stick
If you fight back, I will use any weapon I can find to beat you
And beat your ass to the size of your dick
I will beat you so badly that you will become small just like your penis size
And that's small
You will be very weak and small in front of me
And you think you're mackin' when you're lackin?
You are pretending to be someone you are not and thinking you are superior to me, even though you are not
Bushwick is packin!
I am strong and can beat anyone up
I'll show your girl how a real man feels
I will prove to your girlfriend that I am a real man and can protect her if needed
Large things come in very small packages
Even though I am small in size, I am still very strong and powerful
And while your gettin' on your knees to fuck
While you are busy having sex in a submissive position, I am still standing strong
A nigga like me's still standin' up
I am a strong black man and won't bow down to anyone
Any bitch will tell you:
Regardless of who you ask, everyone knows that
As long as he has a big dick, size ain't shit
Being big or small in size is not important as long as you have a big penis
Liftin weights'll make you bigger
Exercising can make you physically stronger
But lift me you'll be a dead-ass nigga
If you try to compete with me, you will end up seriously injured or dead
You wanna squabble coz ya think you're tougher?
Do you want to fight with me because you think you are stronger?
(Automatic unloading) squabble that motherfucker!
I will start shooting you if you try to start a fight with me
Those are called bullets, they got 'em in every state
I have guns, and I can shoot them anywhere I want
To keep niggaz like you in place
People like you need to be controlled and disciplined so that you don't cause any trouble
And since I'm a trigga happy nigga
I am quick to shoot people when I feel threatened
Look for your place to be in a cemetery, you goddamn sucka
If you continue to mess with me, I will kill you and you will be buried in a cemetery
Reputation ain't shit coz see:
Your reputation doesn't matter because
What you done did in the past don't excite me
I am not impressed by your past achievements or accomplishments
V-I-see-T-O-are-why
Victory is mine, it's my name spelled out
You can't have it...na-na-na-na-na!
You cannot defeat me or take away my victory
Any motherfucker wanna get with Bushwick?
Does anyone want to fight with me?
Bring it on 'cause your size ain't shit!
Bring it on because size doesn't matter when it comes to fighting me
I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
I admit to being foolish and making bad choices all my life
The penitentiary became my residence
I have spent a lot of time in prison
It wasn't nothin' for me to disfigure
It wasn't difficult for me to seriously injure someone
You little nickle-and-dime-assed niggaz
You are small-time and insignificant
Shank a motherfucker in a minute
I can stab someone with a sharpened tool in just a minute
And if a riot was goin' down I was in it,
If there was a riot happening, I would participate and make things worse
Get off work and discuss my pardon
When I was not in prison, I would talk about how to get out of it
Chill out and smoke weed with tha warden
I would hang out with the prison guards and smoke marijuana with them
Take a motherfucker like you
Someone like you who underestimates me
And without remorse this is what I'll do:
I will hurt you without feeling any guilt
Punk you out and make you be my bitch
I will defeat you and make you my servant
And let a nig get shit on his dick for 1 cigarette!!
I will force you to perform sexual acts for me in exchange for a cigarette
Any harder then my dick and you're talkin' shit
If you try to compete with me or insult me, I will become even more aggressive
Carry on motherfucker-
Keep trying to compete with me or insult me, but
Before the state convict me of assult or something hyper
Be aware that you might provoke me to become violent and be arrested
And I'll end up right back at Riker's, Like a sniper
If I am arrested, I will be sent back to Riker's Island prison like a skilled sniper
I'm scoping you out,
I am watching you closely and analyzing your behavior
You won't even know when I'm takin' your ass out,
You won't have any idea when I will hurt you
I'm equipt and viscious, tolerate no misses,
I am prepared with weapons and am merciless, I don't make mistakes
Rougher than Ulysses when it comes to bitches
When it comes to women, I am more aggressive and ruthless than the mythical Greek hero Ulysses
Bitch, yea I'm talking to you, some a y'all niggaz are bitches too
I am calling you and other people out for behaving like weak bitches
You gotta be crazy as hell to try ta fuck up ******
You must be mentally unstable to try to compete with me or insult me
**** 'cause your size ain't shit.
Your size doesn't matter when it comes to fighting me, you will lose regardless.
