In St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1996 Kutt got a wake-up call. He was shot in the back. "This was my warning," he says. "I stopped selling dope altogether. I started chilling out, writing rhymes all the time and freestyling. Then I ran into some guys that noticed my talent and I’m thankful for that.”
While recording, Kutt started working with a producer who was also recording with Kansas City rhyme legend Tech N9ne. Impressed by Kutt’s work ethic, Tech N9ne signed Kutt to Strange Music/MSC Music Entertainment, setting the stage for Kutt's debut album, “B.L.E.V.E.,” which features several guest appearances from Tech.
Stop Jeffin'
Kutt Calhoun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jeffin, the act of kissing ass in or brown nosing in a persons face
When in actuality you really have I'll feelings toward that person
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
Lady momma momma top of the world and I ain't stoppin' no
Things goin' change today my thing droppin'droppin'
See you when I was broke-broke
Now that the nigga poppin all them bitches get to jeffin
When you see me rollin' up- Stop Jeffin! Stop Jeffin!
They be like "whassup" Stop Jeffin! Stop Jeffin!
Yea you- Stop Jeffin!
We ain't cool- Stop Jeffin!
Point your fingers- Stop Jeffin! Stop Jeffin! Da na na na
[Tech N9ne:]
This is Kansas City lingo blurrr you mungo single
You call it jockin' but stop jeffin's what we bring you
It's when people really hate you but love you when you in the place
So if ya "don't like me stay the hell up out my face Hey! "
Don't be jeffin with me Mr. Jefferson I pill fit-it
Jeffery from Jefferson City I'm sick and I'll pull the kill-switch
Talkin' behind my back gotta wrap your man and tell me how you really feel with' it
And if it's real then we can deal with' it
Jeffin is ass-kissin' then talkin trash dissin'
When you missin' when you present he bitchin' "have chicken"
No gizzard he 'bout to get it with' a liver be
Welcome to misery, cookin Jeffery rotisserie
Swinging on the deals-nic, jeffin for a hot second
Turn around and cut me down I'm a catch you rollin' Prospect
And my obsession will begin or I consend a nigga in glock heaven
So mafucka stop jeffin!
[Chorus]
[BG Bullet Wound:]
What's happenin'
This for them niggas that saw we shappin' them Jeffro Bo Dean niggas
"oooo he so clean with' it"
Slappin' two fifteens canary yellow bright
Ho's like to jeff with they jizzle they flaunt it every night
Every night poppin this pistol bottles up off every flight
Mafuckers they won't do it but they ain't livin' right
Where you get your shoes from? where you get your weed at?
Whatcha freakin' eyes on man I know your gee's fat
But I don't really fuck with' this nigga
Put him off in the back seat with Tech N9ne he stuck with' this nigga
Cause I'm jeffin-jeffin no I can't help ya-help ya
Grab your sack and get to steppin'-steppin
Off of deuce click homie yea I'm keepin' it reppin'
Keepin' it flexin' keepin' all you Jeffery's in session
"correction" and I don't really know what the fuck
Hell nah I don't know no Tech and no Kutt so quit jeffin
[Chorus]
[Kutt Calhoun:]
They rest to death in my skinny's and twenty-three's
You get dressed to impress but you lookin' like mini me's
But the jeff is un-neccesary that you givin' me
Makes me question the jesture of your sexuality "Hey! "
You niggas approach me like y'all the bitches be all up on my dick
Askin' for telephone numbers hopin' to take pictures of shit
If I wasn't in this business you niggas wouldn't even call
You see me the source of the murder dog now you swingin' balls
Hey Kutt can you get on my album nigga y'all click is the shit
You puttin' the town on the map I'm thinking this nigga's a bitch
When I wasn't makin' no noise you wasn't a part of no Kutty
No I'm a tax you mafuckers for half of your budgets
Take a big breathe of this hella shwagga with relish it
Inhale it and tell me if you can handle the smell of it
It smell like I'm rich don't it, I know when you pimps want it
So quit all that chattin' you ain't equip for this shit fold-it
[Chorus]
The song "Stop Jeffin'" by Kutt Calhoun is a commentary on people who are fake and brown-nose, pretending to be someone's friend while secretly harboring ill feelings towards them. The chorus emphasizes the fact that now that he's successful, all these people who never paid him any attention before are suddenly "jeffin," or kissing his ass. Tech N9ne contributes a verse that explains the meaning of "jeffin" and how people who do it are just talking behind someone's back while pretending to be their friend. He also warns that if someone is "jeffin" with him, they'd better watch out because he knows how to deal with them. BG Bullet Wound brings his own style to the song, talking about how people come up to him acting like they're his friends when really they're just trying to benefit from his success. Kutt Calhoun's verse addresses those people who didn't give him the time of day before he made it big, and now suddenly want to be his friend.
