Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: DMX]
Here comes the boom [Repeat: x8]

Here comes the boom! Boomin', bouncin'
Stalkin', must walk in, hawk get to pouncin
Get em where it counts and, hit em like a mountain
Spit em have em spittin' out, blood like a fountain
Don't look at me like that, we just might fight black
And that fight, might end up in me takin' your life back
I don't, go for the bullshit, cause I've been down
And time is, just too important to be fuckin' around
Talk nigga, I stomp a mud hole in your face
Motherfucker, rip your butt hole out of place
Cock the glock to your head, let off about two in it
Yeah it's a dirty job, but I just love doin' in

[Chorus]

[Chorus: Repeats]

Overall Meaning

The song "Top Shotter" is a collaboration among DMX, Sean Paul, and Mr. Vegas. The chorus states that "the boom" is coming, and throughout the song, the lyrics are explicit about violence, murder, and guns. The three rappers describe themselves as gangsters, who are not afraid to take lives and who enjoy killing; they are proud to possess guns and use them without hesitation. The song's chorus is a repetition of "here comes the boom," a phrase that indicates that something big and violent is about to happen.


The lyrics are rich in metaphors and provocative imagery. For example, in the first verse, DMX compares his movements to "stalkin'" and "pouncin'" like a hawk, emphasizing his readiness for a fight. He also threatens to "stomp a mud hole" in someone's face and "rip [their] butt hole out of place." In Mr. Vegas's verse, he urges gangsters to hold their guns high and not to hesitate to make their enemies cry, spilling out their "marrow" and splashing it in the sky. Sean Paul boasts about being a "top shotter" and claims that he and his crew are powerful enough to make people "get flatta," meaning that they will be killed.


The song's lyrics are explicitly violent and promote gun culture, which can be concerning for some listeners. However, they can also be interpreted as an expression of rebellion and resistance to oppression. In any case, "Top Shotter" is undoubtedly a catchy and energetic song that showcases the talents of three influential rappers.

But where is the bass though. The bassline is why this song used to be my default for testing out headphones. If they could handle the bass in this song then i'd buy them.
