Fat Girl
N.W.A Lyrics

Fat girl!
The song starts by directly addressing a woman who is overweight, highlighting the subject and setting the tone for the following verses.

You're a fat girl
The singer directly calls out the woman for being overweight, adding emphasis to the subject and making it clear what the focus of the song will be.

Fat...fat...fat fat fat fat girl
This line repeats the previous sentiment, but with added repetition and emphasis on the descriptor of fatness. It sets a mocking, taunting tone for the following story.

It's funky fresh Eazy E, new kid on tha block
The artist introduces himself and sets the scene for the story that follows – a new rapper in town with a fresh take on the hip-hop scene.

And already got a fat girl on my jock
The artist brags about his newfound fame and attention from women, but the subject in question is specifically a larger woman, setting the scene for the rest of the story.

Now my story's kinda simple so please take it simple
The singer prefaces the tale with a warning that it will not be complex or enlightening, but rather a simple story about a humorous encounter with an overweight woman.

As I tell you a tale bout this big fat pimple
The singer refers to the woman as a 'big fat pimple,' further adding to the mocking and derogatory tone towards an overweight person.

I was chillin on the ave drinkin some booze
The artist sets the scene of being out in public, enjoying a night out with alcohol involved.

Saw a fatty comin my way so what was I to do?
The artist notices an overweight woman walking towards him and rhetorically questions what his response should be, suggesting that he finds her unwanted and unsolicited.

I busted a U went tha other way again
The artist attempts to avoid the woman by quickly turning around and walking the other way.

But forgot that tha Avenue was a dead end
The singer's attempt to avoid the woman is thwarted by the realization that he's walking towards a dead end and must turn back towards her.

I turned around, here she came, stride for stride
The artist returns to his original location and sees the woman approaching at the same pace and rhythm as himself.

Funky fat like that, bout two thirty-five
The singer describes the woman as 'funky fat,' referencing her size and weight in a disparaging way. The number 235 indicates her weight.

Stampede was rushin, I double looked
The singer notes the rush of people around them and 'double looks' to check his surroundings.

And she had more chins than a chinese phonebook
The singer taunts the woman by saying she has an excessive amount of chins, invoking a stereotype about Chinese people to further demean her.

Five four three ugly as can be, she said
The artist continues to belittle the woman by listing her physical attributes, even foretelling the number of times she's going to ask him about their past interaction.

Ron-de-vu, Hello Eazy E. Do you remember me? (I said no)
The woman comes up to the rapper and addresses him by name, implying that they've met before. The artist denies knowing her, setting up the confrontation to come.

Huhu yes you do suga, My name is Bertha but you can call me booga
The woman insists that the singer does know her and tries to soften the blow by suggesting he call her by a nickname, 'booga.' The nickname itself is another example of belittling and mockery in regards to her weight and appearance.

Remember the time when you were drunk at a party, We was slow dancin, give ya all this body
The woman recalls an interaction the two had, most likely a sexual one, further escalating the uncomfortable situation for the singer.

When she said that she loved me, I was in shock, Oh my God got a fat girl on my jock
Despite denying any previous interaction with her, the artist is suddenly facing the reality of having a larger woman attempting to pursue him. The line further emphasizes the derogatory terminology towards overweight people.

She gave me tha grin, I showed tha frown
The woman is attempting to flirt with the artist, but he is visibly not interested.

And with a bare hug picked me off tha ground, Squeezion me tight, atttempted to bug me, Grabbed me by tha rear, said [Love me, hug me!]
The woman physically grabs the artist in a hug and attempts to get him to engage with her physically, further emphasizing her unwanted advances and the artist's discomfort.

I was hell, victim of a scandal, Coz this girl's too much for E to handle
The singer feels trapped and cornered by the woman, describing the situation as a scandal and insinuating that it's emasculating for him to be pursued by a larger woman.

Broke tha bee's grip, started to run, Back to tha crib, grabbed tha elephant gun
The artist finally escapes from the woman's embrace and heads back home, grabbing a weapon to protect himself.

She's grubbin, thighs rubbin in a hot pursuit, I loaded up tha gun bout ready to shoot
The woman chases after the singer and he feels the need to arm himself for protection.

She kept on comin because of addiction, Legs on fire because of friction
The singer mocks the woman's apparent addiction to sex and implies that her size is causing physical strain on her body.

My gun broke, now I was doomed, Dropped tha double barrel, grabbed tha harpoon
The weapon the singer grabs ends up being ineffective, forcing him to resort to a more primitive and unconventional weapon to defend himself.

As I swung, tha fat girl fell, Lyin on tha ave just like a beach whale
The artist successfully defends himself against the woman, but in the same breath uses a cruel simile to describe her lying on the ground – comparing her to a beached whale.

That's tha story, it's quite ill, And all fat girls y'all besta chill
The artist ends the story, emphasizing the derogatory and mocking tone that he's used throughout and issuing a warning to larger women as a whole to stay away from him.

All overweight freaks stay off my block, Cause it's eerie to have a fat girl on your jock
The song ends with another disparaging remark towards larger women and a haughty attitude on the part of the singer towards anyone who doesn't fit his narrow parameters of physical attractiveness.
