Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ay yo we was chillin on the low
Yo in Vegas this was at the Magic Show
Had my PNB clothes and my West Coast hoes
Get me at the airport I'm at the MGM
Smoke Swisher Sweets and Zigs and Zags
Drinkin Brandy straight out a tall ass glass
They call em Maurice's I'm wit E 40 Mack 10 yo and that nigga W.C.
Yo in the lobby of the hotel it's off the hook
They got no more rooms cause the shit all booked
But last night I'm wit Wesley Snipes
Gettin drunk in Cheetah's just feelin aiight
I had to bounce early though, gotta catch a flight
Told Swizz Beatz give a pound to him and his peeps
I had to bounce in the limo, get somthin to eat
Ay yo, I'm bouncin in the limo gettin somthin to eat
It Go...
[Kelis - Chorus]
Cocaine business controls America
Illegal business causin hysteria (4x)
[Noreaga - Verse 2]
On my way to the airport, the limo drive
And then this cat pulled up in a pure white five
He said he hate me and he wished that I'd die
I rolled the window down and I said what's up
I said fuck you, then I rolled the shit back up
I paid it no mind, just drove off tough
And then the driver said to me, yo they followin us
Now I'm a little scared
But I'm still prepared
I'm like one deep wit one gat, nigga I'm here Then I thought to my self, yo I'm near LaGuardia
Let me cut through the hood and have my niggas just body it up
Have my niggas on the block playin the cut
Call em up, when you see the white five fire it up
At this point I'm poppin shit, knowin I got it
"Come On Motherfucker!!!", out the sunroof I yelled
Hopin these niggas still follow me and still don't bail
It go...
[Chorus]
[Pharrell & (Noreaga)]
Ohh(what, wha-what, what) Ahh
Ohh, that shit is gangsta, Ahh
Ohh(what,wha-what, what) Ahh
Ohh, that shit is gangsta, Ahh
[Noreaga - Verse 3]
My niggas was on the block like I planned
They hit the passenger side up and killed his man
I hopped out the limo and just spinned around
Hit the ground, my niggas tried to hit the clown
I said chill, he say he want to see me die
So let me hit the nigga up, blow him kiss good-bye
Adios!
Now I just gotta be ghost
I gave my niggas a pound, and then I just hand em the toast
The limo driver got scared and tried to bounce on me
And yo besides the heat, I had an ounce on me
Bullet proof vest feelin like an couch on me
I called the hood cab, oh-5, came real fast
I had to bounce real quick, get up off da ave.
And yo motherfucker that's what I did
Ay yo, I still hit the airport and caught the flight kid
To all the haters, it don't even matter cause we still got doe
[Chorus til fade]

Illegal cocaine operations have significant influence in America
Illegal business causin hysteria
Unlawful activities are causing widespread panic and chaos
On my way to the airport, the limo drive
While traveling to the airport in a limo
And then this cat pulled up in a pure white five
Then a person arrived in a pristine white car
He said he hate me and he wished that I'd die
He expressed his hatred towards me and wished for my demise
I rolled the window down and I said what's up
I lowered the car window and greeted him
I said fuck you, then I rolled the shit back up
I insulted him and closed the window again
I paid it no mind, just drove off tough
I ignored his words and drove away confidently
And then the driver said to me, yo they followin us
The driver informed me that someone was pursuing us
Now I'm a little scared
Now I feel a bit frightened
But I'm still prepared
However, I am still ready
I'm like one deep wit one gat, nigga I'm here
I am alone with a firearm, I'm not afraid
Then I thought to my self, yo I'm near LaGuardia
Then I realized that I was close to LaGuardia airport
Let me cut through the hood and have my niggas just body it up
I decided to drive through the neighborhood and have my friends cause chaos
Have my niggas on the block playin the cut
I instructed my friends to stay hidden on the street
Call em up, when you see the white five fire it up
Contact them and start shooting when you see the white car
At this point I'm poppin shit, knowin I got it
At this moment, I'm talking arrogantly, knowing I have power
"Come On Motherfucker!!!", out the sunroof I yelled
I shouted, "Come on, you motherfucker!" out of the sunroof
Hopin these niggas still follow me and still don't bail
Hoping those guys continue to chase me and not abandon the pursuit
It go...
And it goes on like this...
Ohh(what, wha-what, what) Ahh
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
Ohh, that shit is gangsta, Ahh
That's really cool and edgy
My niggas was on the block like I planned
My friends were positioned on the street as I had arranged
They hit the passenger side up and killed his man
They shot at the passenger side and killed his associate
I hopped out the limo and just spinned around
I quickly exited the limo and looked around
Hit the ground, my niggas tried to hit the clown
I ducked down while my friends tried to shoot the enemy
I said chill, he say he want to see me die
I calmed them down, as the enemy expressed a desire for my demise
So let me hit the nigga up, blow him kiss good-bye
So I decided to shoot him, bidding him farewell with a blown kiss
Adios!
Goodbye!
Now I just gotta be ghost
Now I have to disappear
I gave my niggas a pound, and then I just hand em the toast
I greeted my friends and then handed them firearms
The limo driver got scared and tried to bounce on me
The limo driver became frightened and attempted to abandon me
And yo besides the heat, I had an ounce on me
In addition to the danger, I was carrying an ounce of drugs
Bullet proof vest feelin like an couch on me
The bulletproof vest made me feel protected and comfortable
I called the hood cab, oh-5, came real fast
I summoned a reliable transportation service, which arrived promptly
I had to bounce real quick, get up off da ave.
I had to leave hastily and get away from the area
And yo motherfucker that's what I did
And that's exactly what I did, you asshole
Ay yo, I still hit the airport and caught the flight kid
Hey, I managed to make it to the airport and catch the flight, my friend
To all the haters, it don't even matter cause we still got doe
To all the people who dislike us, it doesn't matter because we're still wealthy
