Let Off a Couple
The Beatnuts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Fashion]
Check it , I can make you dance, Make you lay way back
Fat styles become a stack when I rip up tracks
Kickin' back, I sit back and puff a Phil
The cool is so damn chill, freeze MC's at will
Still be comin' back for motion, can't be stale
Breakin' sucker niggas off like a press-on nail
I inhale, I exhale, Now I'm zoning
Freak a fat flow from night 'til the morning
She gonen, cause I fuckin' stole that witch
Swept you home like a broom, then I roll that witch
Switch over to the right hand or back to the left
See, whichever one I use, yo, it still spells def
D-E-F, And I do work with these
Lift a chick with my dick like I'm Hercules
Jerk me please, help me let off some of this cream
Comin' down on you in drops just like pieces of a dream
Seems like I am a mother, so word to me
Burnin' mother-fuckin' rappers in the third degree
Servin' thee, or a so-called superstar
Cause no matter who you are, you still catch a bullet scar

[V.I.C.]
Click, click, BAM! Let off a couple
One for the beef, two for the trouble
Three for my niggas that are ready to set it
World's famous...Man, forget it

[Psycho Les]
Still livin' foul, yo, ain't nothing changed
So I'm a hit you with a rhyme-shot at point-blank range
But still hardcore and everything that goes with it
Gettin money plus I'm bagging all the ho's and shit
To the critics, tryin to sweat the life I live
I got a fully loaded clip and no love to give




So don't stress me, cause I ain't tryin' to hear that trash
Come test me and I'ma have to bust yo, bust yo, bust yo...

Overall Meaning

In "Let Off a Couple," the Beatnuts boast about their skill and prowess as rappers, and issue a warning to any who might attempt to cross them. Fashion kicks off the first verse with an opening that demonstrates his confidence in his ability to make people dance, and his nihilistic attitude towards any competition: "Check it, I can make you dance, Make you lay way back / Fat styles become a stack when I rip up tracks". He then goes on to describe the coolness of his demeanor, and how he can make even the most talented MCs seem stale in comparison. He finishes off by talking about his seduction skills, comparing himself to the mythological figure of Hercules.


V.I.C. picks up the baton in the next verse and takes on a menacing tone, issuing a three-part warning to anyone foolish enough to come after him or his crew: "Click, click, BAM! Let off a couple / One for the beef, two for the trouble / Three for my niggas that are ready to set it." Psycho Les brings the song to its conclusion with a verse that echoes the nihilistic sentiment of the previous verses, but with an increased level of violence: "Still livin' foul, yo, ain't nothing changed / So I'm a hit you with a rhyme-shot at point-blank range / But still hardcore and everything that goes with it / Gettin money plus I'm bagging all the ho's and shit"

I recently came across this song in my playlist and I forgot how much comfort I get from hearing it for some reason, I even had this weird thought that if I were dying I'd want this to be the last thing I hear.

Julian Wood
