Right Here
Ice Cube & Paul Oakenfold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This right here is payback
From way back
I don't play that
I don't play that
I don't play that
I don't play that

Recognize a real don when you see one
And don't try to be one, you fuckin' peon
I been like Deon for eons
You ain't nothing but a biatch

Messed around and let me read up
I come back through and tear the street up
Ice cube, nigga, you better D up
And when I come by, bitch, you better be up

Ass up, face in the pillow
I don't give a fizzle
Got to do my bizzle
The only nizzle that'll never ever fizzle
Original, you niggas know

[Chorus]
(Right here, right now)
You gotta get 'em up
Who wants some?
You better get 'em up
Come get some
Come get some
Come get some
You gotta get 'em up
Who wants some?
You better get 'em up

Got to get with ya
Hit you wit' these things that I'm holding
Who wanna squab with the frozen?
Now, who wanna battle with the chosen?
You nigga's lotion
I'm no emotion
I'm shrapnel from the explosion
Hit you in the face while you posing

High as Jimmy Hendricks
I lined up ten dicks and took out appendix
So go get forensics
Let 'em know I'm Geronimo
Till it's my time to go
You better find your ho
Get your babies and your mama
And move to Guantanamo
Doubt my skills
I'm payin' my bills
I'm up in the hills
You niggas are kills
Even though I'm on a fucked up label
You bitches know what I can bring to the table

[Chorus]

This right here - it's payback
From way back
I don't play that
I don't play that
I don't play that
I don't play that

I like bitches like you
5'2", wearing light blue
The freak get high too
With a fly dude
Not a Erika Badu
That's looking for an "I do"
Now, what can I buy you
Just to try you?
Need another bitch to lie to
Need another bitch in my coupe
Oh, please can I trouble you
For a double scoop

A nigga need some T and A
Now you can get dick, but you can't get no DNA
I heard you was a big freak
(Can I hang?)
Bitch, look down - I got some big feet
I like Mike and Ike's
I like watchin' dikes
I like goin' to fights
I like earnin' my stripes
In the book of life
There's only two women
Big ol' good ones
And good ol' big ones





[Chorus]

This right here is payback
The following actions are revenge for past wrongs


Recognize a real don when you see one
Acknowledge a true leader when they present themselves


I been like Deon for eons
I have been a great performer for a very long time


Messed around and let me read up
You made the mistake of giving me information to use against you


Ass up, face in the pillow
I am unconcerned with your desires or comfort


The only nizzle that'll never ever fizzle
I am the only one who will never lose my talent or influence


You gotta get 'em up
You must take action against your opponents


Got to get with ya
I have to resolve this conflict with you


Now, who wanna battle with the chosen?
Who wants to go up against me?


You nigga's lotion
You are weak and unimportant to me


I'm shrapnel from the explosion
I am the destructive aftermath of a powerful event


So go get forensics
Call in the experts to investigate the damage I've done


You bitches know what I can bring to the table
You are aware of my skills and what I can offer


I like bitches like you

Now, what can I buy you just to try you?

A nigga need some T and A
I desire female body parts for sexual pleasure


In the book of life, there's only two women: Big ol' good ones and good ol' big ones
Women can only be judged by their physical appearance, and there are only two categories - large and attractive or large and unattractive

It ain't the song that matters. It's the attitude that we have to fight for strength. Living with the times of people that are too lazy to stand up. Times for change in the future.
