Lil Boosie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you wanna talk shit? you wanna run your mouth?
you want some gangsters front your motherfucking house?
We'll set this bitch off, yeah set this bitch off
We'll set this bitch off, set this bitch off
They call me Bad Azz, and I'll punish you
You ain't my equal, we ain't people and I ain't one of you
Since '98 I grabbed my plate up off the lunch table
I told mama I'm thugging outside we don't need cable
Now I'm the nipples on the titty, the motor called a "Hemi"
I'm the V-12 in that 760, your nigga's bitches
We're real niggas with g-codes
We love to go in beast mode
We're thugging, we all got bread so if we fall we're the crutches
We're the dodo in the dutchess
I'm the photo in the camera
I'm the pistol when it snap you
I got the sickest beemer, I got the sickest magnum,
I got the sickest charger
you all's 30 mines 40
I told you nigga's let me get me, for you get stretched in the street
This the day that you gonna be deceased for playing with a beast
I told Turk take off my collar
I'm finna take it there
You niggas ain't play at my projects, you all played at the fair
Trill Entertainment, that's my thugs there
That's love there
D.A. don't search my house 'cause ain't no motherfucking drugs there
We're smart with this shit, we got retarded with this shit
Duce-Duce up in my shoe, I set if off up in this bitch nigga

[Chorus:]
Set it off in this motherfucker, set it off
My click all dogs bitch don't make us set it off [x2]
Set it off in this motherfucker, set it off
You jumping like a frog we'll put you on that wall
Set it off in this motherfucker, set it off
My click all dogs bitch don't make us set it off

Man I be thugging, I be fresh, I be super clean
With Gucci shades with some j's you ain't never seen
The race car jacket with about 80 fucking patches, with the car to match it
Tony Stewart, it's a classic
You all penny pinching nigga, we spending on you all niggas
Call savage from the back, come pour some Henny on these niggas, man
You don't wanna fuck with me
I learned from the streets, yeah
I roll with my heat, yeah
Never turn on my peeps 'cause I'm gutta
Came out my mama a hustler
Been through the rain and the pain, now I'm a dirty motherfucker
I'll hurt a motherfucker, set it off in this bitch
You all niggas coughing in this bitch, we're flossing in this bitch
And I walk real well, fuck going to jail
Come home and set it off and get you mail, nigga
I got a mind full of evil thoughts
So don't get you people caught round my people house
'Cause believe me I'm gone set it off bitch

[Chorus]

Oh you bucked up and fucked up and you ain't got no mind
Don't even respect you elders no you ain't respecting mine
But I'm gonna hit you with that nine, put some sense in you nigga
Should've put something on you ass when you was a lil nigga
Now that you wanna play with the real niggas
well set it off
Bitch you're scared to let it off, plus your daddy wasn't no dog
you mama had more heart than you daddy bitch ass
you ain't gonna set nothing off, that's who made you soft
Bitch you wanna come in that south, where it get dumb in that drought
Where nigga's wild out like O-dog and run in your house
And run in your mouth, it's crucial
Watch what you say about Boosie
'Cause Boosie to oozie's
It's crucial
Ain't never had shit but I'll fuck a bad bitch
Quicker that you can count to 6, 1-2-3-4-5-6 she hit
I don't play, I lay laws, you're my size I break jaws
I get disrespected at all, I set it off nigga

I set it off in this motherfucker,
Don't make me let it off in this motherfucker
And you're gonna respect a dog up in this motherfucker




'Cause I'll set it off
[x2]
