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.

Geto Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
To the street's, y'all
It's GB, y'all
And we don't stop
Yes, yes y'all
To the street's y'all
It's GB y'all
And we don't stop
Give it up for the invincible, it's H-Town's finest
The GB, the general, the street shit, the timers
The motherfuckin criminals, see we keep it grimy
You niggas chemicals, the weed got you blinded
I'm the original, the author of this G-shit
You niggas pitiful, cause y'all be on some weak shit
Me I'm a nigga from the gutter motherfucker
If rap wasn't payin I'd hit the street cause I'm a hustler
It's Willie D y'all, it's been a minute y'all
I'm still in it y'all, fuck the critics y'all
Ho niggas make me hotter than tabasco
Play with my money I'mma kick you in your asshole
I see the videos, I read the magazines
Don't watch award shows, too many faggot scenes
I'm a machine, got a pistol in my loose fist
I'll leave you twisted on the ground in your boots bitch
Well this is Chuck Dawg (will you ever love another bitch?)
Fuck nah! (What's your position on a snitch homey?)
Fuck laws! (They say the Beatles was the biggest)
Nigga fuck Paul, and the rest of y'all!
I'm the little motherfucker with the big dick swangin
Nuts still hangin, got hoes singin the blues
Geto Boys in this bitch still bangin
And ain't shit changin' (uh-uh) ain't shit changin'
Don't like faggots, hate politicians
Can't stand snitches, know the Feds listen
So I, send the whole world a fuck you note
Schumaker's got a desk job, fuck you ho! (Aw nah!)
I keep it real with it, to the hill with it
You gotta deal with it, cause you can still get it
And every morning when I get up I know shit don't change
I'm gettin money out these six mo' thangs
I keep it real with it, to the hill with it
You gotta deal with it, cause you can still get it
And every morning when I get up I know shit don't change
I'm gettin money out these six mo' thangs
I run circles around foes and cross 'em out like tic-tac-toe
Money money money gotta get that dough
I'm a Northside rider, pimp-slappin these biters
Fall into the club and bitches eyes get wider
I like the way she look up in that liberty skirt
But 95% of the shit is brainwork
I might buy a couple of drinks, and shoot at her drawers
If she ain't talkin 'bout fuckin I'mma get on dawg
Now gimme five or six chickens I'mma flip those birds
Cook it up in momma kitchen, let me get folks serve
If a nigga catch me slippin I'mma get that nerd
Can't let you get away with that, that shit don't work
I wear a white t-shirt, white sneakers and hat
Somethin cool on my wrist, a nice piece to match
Hoppin out of somethin foreign like the beast I snatch
I don't do a lot of fashion papi, I'm just Brad
It's like that y'all (that y'all) this y'all (this y'all)
I like a skinny bitch, I like the big broad
It's like this y'all (this y'all) that y'all (that y'all)
I like to stand and hit it from the back y'all
I ain't the cutest nigga rappin but I still got hoes
Snatch the baddest piece up in this bitch with one eye closed
R. Kelly that's my nigga so I like girls young
18 or 23, black and white, girls cum
Little Richard like the singer, Dick for short but Bill
Short mon from Jamaica, Brooklyn the real
5th Ward my second home, now I'm back to strike
Rap-A-Lot, street music, Geto Boys for life
I keep it real with it, to the hill with it
You gotta deal with it, cause you can still get it
And every morning when I get up I know shit don't change
I'm gettin money out these six mo' thangs
I keep it real with it, to the hill with it
You gotta deal with it, cause you can still get it
And every morning when I get up I know shit don't change
I'm gettin money out these six mo' thangs
Come on
What's up
The lyrics to Geto Boys' song Yes Yes Y'all are an ode to the streets of Houston and the gritty, gangster lifestyle that the members of the rap group represent. The chorus repeats "Yes, yes y'all, to the street's y'all, it's GB y'all, and we don't stop," asserting their dominance and never-ending dedication to their musical and street hustling pursuits.
Individual verses by the different members of the group showcase their unique styles and personalities. The first verse, delivered by Scarface, speaks to the group's authenticity and originality in the rap game, as he declares himself the "author of this G-shit" and derides other rappers whom he deems "pitiful" for "being on some weak shit." Willie D's verse is similarly assertive and aggressive, with references to violence and a general disdain for critics and haters.
Along with showcasing their street credibility, the song also has references to personal relationships and sexual preferences. Chuck Dawg's verse references his dislike for snitches and laws, while also boasting about his sexual prowess and appreciation for both skinny and plus-sized women. Little Richard, another member of the group, references his friendship with R. Kelly and his preference for younger women.
Overall, Yes Yes Y'all is a song that not only highlights Geto Boys' musical talents but also their personalities and lifestyles, giving listeners a glimpse into the world of gangster rap in the 1990s.
