Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh-huh, yo (oh, oh)
Uh-huh, yo (uh-huh, uh-huh, oh, oh)
Uh-huh, yo (bounce, bounce)
See around here (uh-huh, uh-huh, uh)
I made things that make y'all bounce
Ya know? Uh-huh
Ya know what I mean? (Yeah, yeah)
Left to right, right to left (uh-huh, uh-huh)
It's So So Def
And uh, it's going down (yeah, uh)
Ya know what I mean? (Yeah)
My man Bow Wow (Bow Wow, yeah, hear me now)
Yeah, ya heard? (Check it out)
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! (Peep game, let's go)

Around here we pop them collars
Around here we get them dollars
Every girl I see that look right
A nigga like me just gotta holla
This kid here all about stackin' up
Talk big here but we can back it up
Long 'cause everybody get crunk
When it drop and the club starts acting up
I represent the S-O-S-O, D-E-F-M-O-B
That's me, JD, Brat, and JE
So please believe
What I do ain't never been done
Ohio is where I'm from
I heard what you said and I saw what you do
And y'all players really don't want none
From the day to the night, I rock
Say what you like, never not
Stay in the light, livin' the life
Got's to keep it hot
Shotgun in the drop, ridin' good
Twenties, TVs, leather and wood
Poppin', watchin' Big Momma
Holdin' it down like a player should
Sing-a-long now!

All I wanna do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap-clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
All I wanna do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap-clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me

It's the B to the O-W and you, wow
Even your girl fall in love when I smile
The type of little guy you ain't seen in a while
Ignore the height, just right for you size
I get in where I fit in
Braided up, paid the bucks and I'm still a kid
Imagine what life like when I get big
I'ma be rich surrounded by chicks
Couple of cars, couple of cribs
Gettin' a couple mill
Shinin' every time I feel
You see how So So get ill
You don't want no stuff up in here
Bow to the Wow, flavor in your ear now
I get down 'cause I'm hit bound
And I rock an iced out Mickey Mouse around my neck
And I hang on niggas like Vince Carter with his arm in the net
And I oughta snatch up your daughters
But I was brought up with respect
When I turn sixteen I'ma call her though
And show her how to ride with a baller yo
Let her know why it wouldn't hurt her
Go and fall in love with a nigga, like me along time ago
Sing-a-long now

All I wanna do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap-clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
All I wanna do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap-clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me

I, I, I wanna to see you bounce with me now
Take, take, take it down to the ground with me now




Shake, shake, shake it all around the town with me now
What ya gon' do shawty? What ya gon' do?

Overall Meaning

In "Bounce with Me," Lil Bow Wow and Xscape combine smooth, upbeat vocals with catchy lyrics that blend hip-hop and R&B. The song begins with Bow Wow bragging that he’s created music that makes people bounce. He then proceeds to spit out rap verses evoking Braggadocio, where he claims to be from Ohio and represents So So Def, the record label owned by Jermaine Dupri. The chorus of the song, sung by Xscape, is a call-and-response between Bow Wow and the women on the dance floor. The rapper invites them to "bounce with me," and the group responds with a vocal hook that repeats the song’s title.


The song’s lyrics describe the lifestyle of Bow Wow and his So So Def crew. They pop their collars, stack up the dollar bills, and ride in expensive cars. Bow Wow claims to be a young hustler with a big personality, whose success with women is primarily attributable to his physical appearance. He raps about his intriguing smile and height, both of which allegedly make him appealing to the opposite sex. With its upbeat tempo and energetic hook, "Bounce with Me" was a popular dance track that dominated the airwaves in the early 2000s.

His flow at that age was off the charts!! A legend!!

@kyairehutchins8170

Da Brat wrote this for him lol, that's her flow

@Embermoon91

Even if someone else wrote it, his execution of the song was epic! Not all singers/rappers write their songs.

@Embermoon91

Plus, he might not have had ne essay lyrical skills at his age at the time, and may have developed some later.
