Lil Jon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, this Big Gipp!
I've been called down by Lil Jon
& The Eastside Boyz to
Tell you what's really happening on
These streets in the
A-town man cause you know a
Lot of shit going on
A lot of people moving down
You know what I mean?
But after this, I'm a tell you the truth now
Now after these 12 bars the world
Is gonna know a few facts
And after these 12 bars you might
Get your shoulders in your laps
See the neighborhood boys and
The economy getting worse
The candy lady jumping fifties
Outta Easter purse
Bill Campbell gone, Shirley Franklin in
The GC closed down, Mike Childs got ten
The feds locked the pimps up
For pimpin in the south
You may control her mind
But you can't control her mouth
And these R&B stars having sex with the kids
Need to be chopped up and castrated
And served to the pigs
Oh yeah homeboy, you big time in yo state
But around here sucker
You get squeezed like grapes
This a word to the wise, the gravy get chunky
Somebody will pull that steel
Throw it up and get funky
I got that Wayne Williams
Winnie the Pooh and Mr miyagi
And horse tranquilizers that will
Fuck up your body the wolves out hunting
They looking for new meat
Better gather up your guns and keep
Yo chillin out the street
I said the mutant's out hunting
He looking for fresh meat
Better gather up your guns and keep
Yo chillin out the street, nigga
