Fuck you hoes, fuck you bitch ass niggaz too

These niggaz wearin' skirts like the pope
Who them niggaz that you love to get (us)

A couple o' notes and get you hog-tied in rope
Dope like tons of coke, cutthroat
You don't want the pistols to whistle
Candy paint impala

Fuckin with ren, playin' to win

Systematically, in your house without a key

Overall Meaning

The song "Chin Check" by N.W.A is a powerful and aggressive track that features the group's signature gangsta rap style. The song is an homage to the group's legacy and their status as pioneers of the genre. The lyrics are full of references to the group's past, including shoutouts to Eazy-E and Jerry Heller, as well as references to their early days as a crew.


The track begins with a 911 call from a woman reporting a break-in at her house, which sets the stage for the aggressive rhymes that follow. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and Snoop Dogg all take turns delivering hard-hitting verses that touch on everything from gang violence to drug use. The chorus features a memorable hook that asserts the group's status as "niggas 4 life," a term of pride and solidarity among the black community.
