Let's Talk About It
Jermaine & The Clipse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Uh-huh, uh, ooh, damn, baby, shit
How you get all that in them jeans?
Nevermind that, you hear this? Ha, it's that Star Trak
Clipse (get down), So So Def

Question, ask any nigga
Rapper or a hustler, who rocks is bigger? The rapper
Nah, dog, go figure, with the V12, I make that straight killa

I flood the block, I hug the Glock
I have a whole neighborhood that seen a thug to stop (stop
'Cause I show 'em what Waco see
Then hit the district, pay a visit to Jac-o-b
I like my diamonds colored, watch is smothered (me too)
Show off at the place of jewels and the white man love it
I'm too much, got bitches out for me
Bring 'em home, give 'em they choice of balcony
She said, "we can have more fun," I said, "how can we?"
Then she brought her girl in and ate her out for me, wow
All night sexin', just think, this all came from one question

You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby
You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby

Wanna talk about cars? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about houses? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about jewels? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about money? Don't talk without it

Wanna talk about chicks? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about hits? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about Cris'? Let's talk about it (yo)
But when you talk about cash, don't talk without it (yo)

Now, as the game rotates and my chrome gets bigger
More and more girls wanna fuck this nigga
It's hard for a chick not to stick around
When I come through town, layin' my dick down
They can tell a true playa by the clothes that I wear
Game that I spit and the length of my hair
The more I come, the more I cum, get it?
What you see now, I been done did it
Every girl around, I been done hit it
Cars been kited, since I was sixteen
And yes, I'm still spendin' that Kris Kross cream
Big boy moves, big boy shine, big boy watch tell big boy time
Everybody know I got the recipe, so y'all know
Y'all niggas can't mess with me
Matter of fact, I ain't even gotta say no more

You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby
You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby

Wanna talk about cars? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about houses? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about jewels? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about money? Don't talk without it

Wanna talk about chicks? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about hits? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about Cris'? Let's talk about it (yo)
But when you talk about cash, don't talk without it (yo)

(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh, come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) I want you to move your waist to the whistle
Come on, girl (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)

It ain't too many things that exceed my reach
Speedboat, glass floor, let you see underneath
But nevermind that though, I'm just showin' off
As I do in the Porsche with the top lost
I ain't change the game hash, you know the name as
Malice in my wrist like shattered stain glass
I generate them Franklins and Grants
Each ear look like a halogen lamp
I'm high beamin', at the same time leanin'
In the butter soft seat that keep a street thug schemin'
For we compare paper, get your weight up
I need more points than that, don't you play with me, Jacob
You see me on my back or you see me live
I'm every color of the spectrum, like ROY G. BIV
Look dog, get a load of how daddy ball
Wanna talk about cash? Well, I done said it all

You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby
You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby

Wanna talk about cars? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about houses? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about jewels? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about money? Don't talk without it

Wanna talk about chicks? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about hits? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about Cris'? Let's talk about it
But when you talk about cash, don't talk without it

(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh, come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) come on, girl
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) oh
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) come on, girl (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)

You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby
You got a big ass bell?
Let me see you jingle it, baby

Wanna talk about cars? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about houses? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about jewels? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about money? Don't talk without it

Wanna talk about chicks? Let's talk about it
Wanna talk about hits? Let's talk about it

Wanna talk about Cris'? Let's talk about it
But when you talk about cash, don't talk without it

Overall Meaning

Jermaine Dupri's song Let's Talk About It is a rap song filled with boasts about wealth, sex, and power. The lyrics begin with an admiration of a woman's physical attributes and then move on to a comparison of two different types of men - rappers and hustlers. The rapper brags about making money in a way that the hustler can't match, due to his expensive car and gun. He calls himself a true player and talks about the number of women he's slept with and how he can tell by the clothes he wears that he's a player. The chorus calls for discussing different aspects of wealth - houses, cars, jewels, money, and chicks - but the rapper emphasizes that there's no point in talking about cash if you don't have any.

The song is a celebration of materialism and hedonism. The rapper boasts about his wealth and his ability to attract women, and he suggests that these are the most important things in life. The song reflects a cultural obsession with money, sex, and violence that has been prevalent in hip-hop music for decades. While the tune may be catchy, the message is one that perpetuates a destructive and narrow set of values.
