[Shyne]
P-O, nothing more to it
I'm gully, what, I've really been through it
From the stoupe to the coup and anything in between
I carry a sleet through me, niggaz live out they dreams
Throw the ones in the sky or up in the bing
I do it for them, when I'm crackin' them rims
See me doing solo, silver pot holes
Bustin' off Roscoe's, like fuck it, I'll buy a new set tomorrow
I'm the horror, the system belt
Suck liquor, out my mom's tits, instead of milk
I'm society's filth, shit, I feel no guilt
Well fear couldn't feed Po, what the fuck, I need mo'
Mo', mo', catch me posted up on one Pivot
By the looks of my arm and palm, it's been a blizzard
Bitches want to know, who that nigga Po
When you think of me, just think of snow
Call white, hard white, masterpiece, all white
It's alright, I could take you out tonight
And put you in some things
Have you lookin' like something, diamonds, buttons
It's the predicate felon, millionaire dollar rederick
Tellin', spittin' thesis, for my connections
Leave a nigga speechless, can't talk with a gun in your throat
Yeah, I'm loc'd, been around too much dope
All my life, brain ain't never been right
Don't hear shit, I air shit, niggaz lose sight
It's bigger than mics, come fuck with the kid
O.G.'s look at me, like that's how I live
Niggaz look from the sky, like, yeah I stay live
Resurrected through the necklace or the gold coated six
Gangsta never die, as long as I'm alive
And when I go, it's gon' be another Po

[Chorus: Shyne]
For all my niggaz who ain't here with me
You still here with me, everything that I do
When you see that watch blue, it's for you
When you see that coupe with no roof, it's for you
For all my niggaz who ain't here with me
You still here with me, everything that I do
Kid that I fried around the way, was for for you
Connect that I tied the other day, was for you

[Shyne]
Yellow tapes, yellow bottles and, yellow rocks
It's the number one gunner, pop pa-pop pop
Hard top, windows black, that's the way, how gangsta mack
Comin' through bumpin' Thriller, like I'm really a killa
Who you know fuckin' with me, them niggaz is bitter
No, I hit you when it's burnin' or numb
Who you, screw you, just for burnin' ya gums, get it right
I'm him, ya'll just rhyming
Noise over beats, ya'll niggaz hymen
My other shit is real, I'm buyin' jet fuel
Them cuts on my shit, is Princess Blue
You fuck with the kid, you get princessed too
What, ya boyfriend a rapper? This between me and you
And that's just how my niggaz would want it, America's most wanted
State ya name, P.O., niggaz know

[Chorus]

[Chorus II: Shyne]
For all my niggaz who ain't here with me
You still here with me, everything that I do
Bitch I hit with the long dick, it's for you
Bong bong, paid time just for you
For all my niggaz who ain't here with me
You still here with me, walk with me, talk with me




Let that sawed off shit, bark off with me
What's up with my niggaz, I'm with my niggaz

Overall Meaning

In "Here With Me," Shyne reflects on his rough past and how his experiences shaped him into the person he is today. He portrays himself as a gangsta, someone who carries a sleet (shortened form of the Jamaican word "sleety," which means a sharp, pointed weapon) with him and has seen everything from the stoup to the coup (from the bottom to the top). He dedicates the song to his friends who aren't with him anymore and whom he misses. The lines "For all my niggaz who ain't here with me / You still here with me, everything that I do / When you see that watch blue, it's for you / When you see that coupe with no roof, it's for you" show that Shyne feels his friends are still with him in spirit, and he pays tribute to them by living his life to the fullest.


Shyne's lyrics in "Here With Me" come from a place of pain and experience, and his street credibility is evident. He refers to himself as a "predicate felon" who spits thesis for his connections and leaves people "speechless." Shyne speaks of a harsh reality where he never had a normal childhood, and his brain "ain't never been right." However, he takes pride in his status as a gangsta and feels more alive than ever when he's with his homies. The song's emotional and reflective tone is a testament to Shyne's skill as a lyricist and his desire to pay tribute to his friends, who have passed on or are no longer in his life.
