Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah How many hitters can stand the rain
(Queen Bee Entertainment I'm runnin shit now)
This is only a test
La la la la la
(What We told you it was commin)
La la la La la la la la
(We in front of the scenes
And in back of the scenes
So what you gon do now)
La la la

[Lil' Kim]
Bitches wanna front on me
But know not to come to me
I keep ten glocks
Ten rotts up in front of me (grr)
Like they sprayin sumin (Sprayin sumin)
Like they sayin sumin (Sayin sumin)
I gets my bark on like I'm DMX or somethin (What)
My reach is like Louis stiff eighty-four
Yours is like Evander seventy-seven slow
Thanks to Taebo
I'm thirty two and O
When I catch a knock out bitches bring the cops out
Two for five spots
I tear the rocks out
Pop the tops out then clear the spot out (Yea outta here)
Nigga or bitch you don't want no problems (Fuckin assholes)
My revolver is a quick problem solver
Don't never think I'm slippin (Why)
Bitch I ain't dumb
I carry a stun gun inside of my hair bun
Hatin ass niggas
I treat you like a bitch
Strap on a fake dick and stick you where you shit
I got warriors that's three time felons
Leave ya body swellin
Leakin from ya melon
And it ain't no tellin when the bodies start smellin
Somebody took the story and sold it to Helen Kelly
The guns and thing you sing about bring em out
Like I thought y'all havin a gun drought
I'm a millionaire
I ain't rhymin for the cash
I'ma relax and let my niggas get in ya ass

[Banger]
All ya'll niggas is narrow straight parrel
Nigga like Banger make you swallow the barrel
(Swallow it)
Criminal I ain't tryna battle
(Neva dat) on a ground or gravel
Through four make the hollows travel

[Bristal]
I got Montana nines more tangled lines
Who wanna wine and dine with Bris get in line
I fight like I rhyme niggas thirsty to shine
Can't jack mine
I'm one of a kind

[Banger]
Die slow y'all niggas is dust like pyro
You sleep with your eyes close
Might as well be blind fold
See how much my nine hold blast my one
Dos tres to the cuatro cinco
Reload bitch

[Bristal]
How you want it
Head or gut
You soft like baby butt (I like that)
When these Brooklyn niggas come threw
Their jewels they tuck
For what
Intimidated how we hop out the truck
Or the S type Jag
Y'all niggas straight fag

[Chorus: Lil' Cease]
This is for my niggas who ain't never have shit
Ridin round town with gun in masses
Copped out the ten years but only had six
All the ghetto hoods with only one bad bitch

[Lil' Kim]
This is for my bitches who ain't never have shit
Settin niggas up for all they stashes
Love cats with Roleys and Carti glasses
Nasty hoes who take it in they asses

[Lil' Cease]
I ain't gotta tell y'all niggas where I'm from
I ain't never tell no bitch when I cum
I'm far from a lame you will never see me run
You know how we do it beef jump into it
M.A.F.I.A.'s the gang max out the squadron
Nine millimeter team
Mack 11 mobs men
Who said we ain't rich
Kim's bling cost a fortune
Queen Bee niggas shootin anything crawlin
From now on it's on when I catch you niggas snorin
Any fresh event you can bet niggas sportin
Betta leave town catch a flight in the mornin
Get the cold out ya eyes somebody bout to die
Three niggas got beef three niggas got to go
Hit em all in the row like tic tac toe
Where you start is where you finish at
Show y'all the meanin of fam
Remember dat

[Chorus: Lil' Cease]
This is for my niggas who ain't never have shit
Ridin round town with gun in masses
Copped out the ten years but only had six
All the ghetto hoods with only one bad bitch

[Lil' Kim]
This is for my bitches who ain't never have shit
Settin niggas up for all they stashes




Love cats with Roleys and Carti glasses
Nasty hoes who take it in they asses

Line by Line Meaning

Bitches wanna front on me, But know not to come to me, I keep ten glocks, Ten rotts up in front of me (grr), Like they sprayin sumin (Sprayin sumin), Like they sayin sumin (Sayin sumin), I gets my bark on like I'm DMX or somethin (What)
Despite bitches trying to act tough, they know better than to mess with me because I have ten guns and ten guard dogs ready for protection. It's like they're trying to intimidate or provoke me, but I'm not one to back down. I can be as aggressive as DMX.


My reach is like Louis stiff eighty-four, Yours is like Evander seventy-seven slow, Thanks to Taebo, I'm thirty two and O, When I catch a knock out bitches bring the cops out
My influence and success are comparable to a Power Move Louis Vuitton bag from 1984, while yours is slow and insignificant like Evander Holyfield's boxing career in 1977. Thanks to my physical fitness routine, Taebo, I have achieved a flawless record of 32 wins and no losses. Whenever I achieve a major victory, it attracts attention, and even the police get involved.


Two for five spots, I tear the rocks out, Pop the tops out then clear the spot out (Yea outta here), Nigga or bitch you don't want no problems (Fuckin assholes), My revolver is a quick problem solver
I quickly sell drugs for a cheap price at specific locations. After completing the transaction, I swiftly leave the area, ensuring no evidence remains. Whether you're a man or a woman, you don't want any trouble with me, as my revolver can swiftly resolve any issues that arise.


Don't never think I'm slippin (Why), Bitch I ain't dumb, I carry a stun gun inside of my hair bun, Hatin ass niggas, I treat you like a bitch, Strap on a fake dick and stick you where you shit
Never assume I'm vulnerable or unprepared. I'm not foolish or naive. In fact, I conceal a stun gun within my hairstyle. For those jealous individuals who despise me, I'll treat them no differently than I would treat a woman. I'll metaphorically emasculate them by using a strap-on and causing them humiliation.


I got warriors that's three time felons, Leave ya body swellin, Leakin from ya melon, And it ain't no tellin when the bodies start smellin, Somebody took the story and sold it to Helen Kelly
I have loyal and dangerous individuals who have been convicted of felonies three times. They will inflict severe physical harm, leaving your body bruised and leaking blood from your head. When it comes to acts of violence, there's no predicting when the corpses will start emitting a foul odor. Someone has leaked the details of our criminal activities to the media.


The guns and thing you sing about bring em out, Like I thought y'all havin a gun drought, I'm a millionaire, I ain't rhymin for the cash, I'ma relax and let my niggas get in ya ass
You claim to possess firearms and brag about them in your songs, but when confronted, it seems like you're lacking in that department. As a wealthy individual, I don't rap solely for financial gain. I'll take a backseat and allow my associates to handle you and inflict harm.


All ya'll niggas is narrow straight parrel, Nigga like Banger make you swallow the barrel (Swallow it), Criminal I ain't tryna battle (Neva dat) on a ground or gravel, Through four make the hollows travel
All of you individuals are narrow-minded and purely parallel in your actions. Someone like Banger would force you to swallow the barrel of a gun as an act of intimidation. I'm not interested in engaging in a verbal or physical confrontation on any surface, even on the ground or gravel. The bullets from my firearm can travel through four layers, leaving no room for escape.


I got Montana nines more tangled lines, Who wanna wine and dine with Bris get in line, I fight like I rhyme niggas thirsty to shine, Can't jack mine, I'm one of a kind
I possess multiple high-quality handguns from Montana, symbolizing the complexity and intricacy of my lifestyle. Those who wish to have a romantic evening with me must patiently wait for their turn. Just as I fight fiercely in my music, I have the same intensity in physical altercations. No one can imitate or steal my style, as I am truly unique.


Die slow y'all niggas is dust like pyro, You sleep with your eyes close, Might as well be blind fold, See how much my nine hold blast my one, Dos tres to the cuatro cinco, Reload bitch
You will experience a slow and painful death, turning into dust just like combustible materials used in fireworks displays. You're so unaware and defenseless that it's as if you're sleeping with closed eyes or even wearing a blindfold. Witness the destructive power of my 9mm handgun as it fires multiple rounds. One, two, three, four, five, give it a quick reload, bitch.


How you want it, Head or gut, You soft like baby butt (I like that), When these Brooklyn niggas come through, Their jewels they tuck, For what, Intimidated how we hop out the truck
Tell me, do you want to be shot in the head or the stomach? Your vulnerability is comparable to the softness of a baby's buttocks. When us Brooklyn individuals arrive, we discreetly conceal our valuable possessions. Why do we do this? It's because we intimidate others with our confident demeanor once we step out of our vehicles.


Or the S type Jag, Y'all niggas straight fag
Whether it's an S type Jaguar or any luxurious vehicle, you individuals are simply weak and effeminate.


This is for my niggas who ain't never have shit, Ridin round town with gun in masses, Copped out the ten years but only had six, All the ghetto hoods with only one bad bitch
I dedicate this verse to my fellow comrades who have never experienced true wealth and luxury. We roam the streets armed with guns in large numbers. Although some of us received a ten-year sentence, we managed to serve only six thanks to various circumstances. This is also for the impoverished neighborhoods where there is only one exceptional female.


This is for my bitches who ain't never have shit, Settin niggas up for all they stashes, Love cats with Roleys and Carti glasses, Nasty hoes who take it in they asses
I dedicate this verse to my female associates who have never achieved success and prosperity. They manipulate men in order to steal their possessions. They are attracted to men who wear Rolex watches and Cartier glasses. These promiscuous females engage in anal sex, demonstrating their willingness to engage in explicit activities.


I ain't gotta tell y'all niggas where I'm from, I ain't never tell no bitch when I cum, I'm far from a lame you will never see me run, You know how we do it beef jump into it, M.A.F.I.A.'s the gang max out the squadron
I don't need to inform you individuals about my origin. I never disclose the moment of my climax to any woman. I'm far from being a weakling, and you'll never witness me running away from a confrontation. You already know how we handle conflicts, jumping into them without hesitation. The M.A.F.I.A. gang is a united force, fully maximizing the strength of our team.


Nine millimeter team, Mack 11 mobs men, Who said we ain't rich, Kim's bling cost a fortune, Queen Bee niggas shootin anything crawlin
We possess a team armed with nine-millimeter handguns, as well as individuals carrying Mack 11 submachine guns. Whoever claimed that we are not wealthy is mistaken, as Lil' Kim's flashy jewelry is worth a great deal of money. Individuals affiliated with Queen Bee Entertainment are ruthless and ready to shoot at any living target.


From now on it's on when I catch you niggas snorin, Any fresh event you can bet niggas sportin, Betta leave town catch a flight in the mornin, Get the cold out ya eyes somebody bout to die
Beginning at this moment, expect intense confrontation when I catch you individuals sleeping or unaware. At any new gathering or occasion, rest assured that my crew will be fully equipped and prepared. It would be wise for you to flee the town and take an early morning flight. Wipe the sleep from your eyes because someone is about to meet their demise.


Three niggas got beef three niggas got to go, Hit em all in the row like tic tac toe, Where you start is where you finish at, Show y'all the meaning of fam, Remember dat
There are three individuals with whom we have a significant conflict, and all three must be eliminated. We'll target them accordingly, one after another, just like the game tic-tac-toe. Where you initiate the conflict is where it will ultimately end. I'll demonstrate to all of you the true definition and loyalty of family. Remember this.
