Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shorty shorty go
Gooo
Go shorty shorty go
Shorty shorty go
Go, go, go, go,
But you could say I'm on duty
I'm lookin for a cutie
A real big ol' ghetto booty
I really like your kitty cat
And if you let me touch her
I know you're not a bluffer
I'll take you to go see usher
I keep a couple hoes
Like santa I keep a vixon I got dasher, dancer, prancer,
Dixon, comet, cupid, donner, blitzen.
I'm hotter than 100 degrees
A lot of bread no sesame seeds
If i'm in yo city
I'm signin them Tig-O-bitties
I'm plotting on how I can take Cassie away from Diddy
The girls want a Minaj yeah they wetter than the rain then
Usher buzz me in
Everybody loves Raymond
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the (all the girls standing in the)
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
All the girls standing in the (all the girls standing in the)
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
I'll finish this one later
The lyrics of Girl Talk's "Steady Shock" contain different elements that reflect the themes of attraction and sex which are common in mainstream hip-hop music. The song starts with a repetition of "Go shorty shorty go" which invites the attention of the listener to the following verses. The main rapper talks to a woman, expressing his desire for her and her body parts, particularly her "big ol' ghetto booty" and "kitty cat." He also boasts about his wealth and mentions different women he has in different cities. The mention of Usher and Cassie, who are both big names in the R&B and hip-hop industry, further emphasize this notion of wealth, status and attraction.
The chorus, which repeats "All the girls standing in line for the bathroom" multiple times, creates an image of crowded and chaotic clubbing where women are desperate to go into the bathroom. This line, which appears to be unrelated to the verses, is commonly interpreted to reflect the bathroom as a place where women go to touch-up their makeup, check out their outfits or engage in other personal acts of grooming. It may also be a nod to the stereotype of women taking long to use the bathroom or how the social pressure to maintain a certain standard of appearance influences their behavior.

When is my man Girl Talk finally gonna make a new album ? Can't wait to see what he's gonna do with the music of the last 8 years.

The pairing of the lines "Who run it?" and "Bitch I run it" is honestly one of the most clever moments on this album
Andrew H
probably the best track from the album (although it really shouldn't be broken up into tracks)
Bizzy-Marck
thankfully this song informs all of us that "all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom cant start a fire"... which is a good thing

The SupergrassxBonethugs section might be the pinnacle of mash ups. Nothing short of brilliant.
