Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yuh, ay, go, ay, ah, oh, go, skeet
Bitch
Where my motherfucking stack
Why them twenties in the front?
Why them hunnids in the back?
Show me what you got
I'm a self made prodigy, I look like a bag
I'm a fuckin', millionaire I mean it
I'ma put a bitch on Front Street if you don't believe it
Ask your motherfucking, friends I'ma do it
I'm that nigga with the, AK, I'ma shoot it
I got, bitches who in love like I'm Cupid
If a nigga cross me up, on my mother, boy he stupid, he a
Dead man, walking
Chalk, tape posin', Grand Am skrtin'
Bad bitch, big booty, and she twerkin'
Ain't no flockin', I'm in Stockholm, why you stalking
Twerkin' off a sidekick, like I'm Robin
Dick have her moaning 'til the neighbors come a knockin'
Only time a nigga sweat when a nigga joggin'
I can't take advice from someone who gotta clock in
That's a Fendi, got two Bentleys, white and green
One Ferrari, all red like Supreme
Your bitch, a meat lover for the team
Try to cross me out, do you know what that mean
You a dead man, walking
Chalk, tape posin', Grand Am skrtin'
Bad bitch, big booty, and she twerkin'
Ain't no flockin', I'm in Stockholm, why you stalking
The opening line of "Buddha bless this beat" sets the tone for Quality Control's song "Dead Man Walking." It's essentially an assertion that the upcoming lyrics on this track are going to be heavy and the beat is going to be fire. The first verse consists of the rapper discussing his wealth and status. He asserts his position as a self-made prodigy and a millionaire. He's not just talking about his money, he's also stating that he's willing to put anyone who doubts his status on Front Street. The rapper also makes it clear that he's not just rich, he has power and influence even in matters of love. He ends his verse by mentioning that he's armed and ready to defend himself, with a nod to the AK-47 that he carries.
In the chorus, the rapper refers to himself as a "dead man walking" and paints the picture of a crime scene, with chalk lines, tape, and a car skidding away. The second verse continues to provide insight into the rapper's lifestyle. He's a ladies' man, using his wit to seduce women and leaving them moaning with pleasure. He hates the idea of working a 9-to-5 and flexes how he has multiple luxury cars, including Ferraris and Bentleys. The rapper ends the song by threatening anyone who would try to cross him, warning them of dire consequences.
Overall, "Dead Man Walking" paints a picture of a man who's confident, wealthy, and powerful. Through the song, he attempts to assert his dominance and make it clear that anyone who doubts or challenges him is taking a risk. The chorus adds a layer of violence, making it clear that the rapper is willing to defend his position at any cost.
