Let Me
The B.I.G Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

To my motherfuckin' man 50 Grand, the alcoholic man
Inject a tall can in his bloodstream if he can
Biggie Smalls, the pussy stroker
MC provoker, chocolate Thai smoker (Hear?)
I like to max in Maximas and Acuras
Your girl butt-cheeks I'm smackin (Her)
The raw rapper, spine snapper
With the little hookers on my lap-ah

You know the flavor Mack-ah
A shy nigga but I ain't your fuckin' comforter
And if I ever fall in love I bet I'm fuckin' her
Ask the hooker, if I didn't jook her
If she tried to front, then I drop the Chucky Booker on her
Why you wanna, play your games on me
Bitch, you crazy?
Commitments, I'm Swayze, no time for the ill shit
Rest with the niggaw on that real bloodspill shit
My rappin' tac-tics are drastic
Stretchin' motherfuckers like Mr. Fantastic
So if you wanna see my pedigreeeee
You better be, filled with energy, niggas never gettin' me
So let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

Ahh, ahh
Let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

Yeah, yo
Odds even, said shoot (blaow)
Asked me the reason, and I said loot
Man that's all I'm here for, therefore
When death declares war, you know what to prepare for
Shit, one for shelter, book flights on Delta
Live on your station, the radiation'll melt ya
Cool, I guess your momma raised a fool
You didn't wanna blaze your tool shoulda stayed in school
Rap terror, shots through your New Era
Get it together, y'all niggas shoulda knew better
I'm on point like acupuncture
I might, track and hunt ya, smack and punch ya
Left side, right side, witcha hoe I might slide
Runnin wit this big guy, y'all niggas is pint size
Don't make a nigga have to show you the pound
And show you the sound, that'll put you low in the ground
Just let me get down

Let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

Let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

I be like what? Let me clear my throat
Break the smoke, Missy gotta hit some high notes
Hey! Yo from coast to coast I burn like toast
So dope that I floats through snow nigga
Oh, you don't wanna battle me
The agony be like, "Somebody help me please!"
Feel my pressure, never could a bitch flow better
In any weather, I'm Biggie bangin' ya nigga
Ah-huh, I used to be the chick to lick the lollipop
Now I pop through your body parts
Blaow, blaow, you like the way I interact
Proceed to smack, any MC that's wack
Ah-huh, microphone check one two
I do ya tool, like them freaks run through your crew
Give it to me, oh, send it to me, oh
But before I get down, where's my money?
Let me get down

Let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Yo let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

Let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from The Notorious B.I.G's song "Let Me In" convey a sense of confidence, swagger, and assertiveness. The opening lines refer to his friend, 50 Grand, who is characterized as an alcoholic. Biggie playfully suggests injecting a beer directly into his bloodstream. He then introduces himself as Biggie Smalls, a rapper known for his provocative and controversial lyrics. He mentions his fondness for luxury cars like the Maxima and Acura, as well as his playful nature with women, slapping their buttocks.

Biggie continues to assert his dominance in the rap game, boasting about his skills and his ability to seduce any woman he desires. He uses vivid language to describe his aggressive and harsh rap style ("spine snapper") and his flexibility in delivering his rhymes ("stretchin' motherfuckers like Mr. Fantastic"). The chorus repeats the phrase "let me get down" as a plea for his audience to acknowledge and respect his talent and presence.

The second verse emphasizes Biggie's focus on financial gain and material possessions. He raps about the need to earn money and secure his future, even if it means resorting to violence. He warns others to be prepared for the consequences of crossing him, using wordplay to convey his readiness for confrontation ("shoulda stayed in school" sounding like "stayed in school" and "stayed in school"). He asserts his rap skills and his ability to outshine his competitors ("on point like acupuncture") and expresses his impenetrability from criticism ("you didn't wanna blaze your tool").

The final verse is performed by Missy Elliott as a featured artist. She adds her unique vocal style to the song, demonstrating her confidence and lyrical prowess. She metaphorically compares herself to a burning piece of toast, implying her hotness and captivating presence. She asserts herself as a superior emcee, ready to crush any competition. She demands payment for her artistry before she fully engages in battle ("But before I get down, where's my money?"). The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing the request for recognition and acceptance.

Overall, these lyrics reflect the braggadocious and energetic nature of hip-hop culture, where artists assert their skills, dominance, and demand respect from their audience.

Allow me to express myself and show my true capabilities
