Hey Ma, What' up, Let's slide, all right, all right

Yo, now I was downtown clubbin, ladies night
Seen shorty she was crazy right
And I approached baby like

She looked at me and said you's a baby right

Plus I'll tell you what the 80's like

She was right, she was up in the Range man
Droped her off at the L, now I'm flippin' the cell
That's right I had to call up L





Yo L, what up, I hit, what else, plus dome, say word

Overall Meaning

“Hey Ma” by The Diplomats is a song that talks about the thrill of meeting someone new and immediately feeling a connection with them. The song starts with a conversation between two people where one suggests going out, and the other agrees with the idea. They then proceed to talk about their shared interests and how they plan to have a wild night together, including drinking and smoking. The chorus sets the tone for the song, as the couple “gon get it on tonight” and take a ride together in various vehicles. The verse then switches to describing how the lead singer met a girl at a club and immediately hit it off with her. Despite her initial reservations, he manages to convince her to come with him, and they speed off on the highway. The second verse changes the focus to the lead singer’s ex-girlfriend, who suddenly wants to get back with him after he’s found a new love interest. He brushes her off, citing that he’s moved on and has a good thing going with his current partner.


The song is a classic hip-hop track that captures the essence of early 2000s rap music. It was released in 2002 as a single from The Diplomats' debut album “Diplomatic Immunity.” The song combines a catchy chorus with smooth instrumentals and rapping that effortlessly flows between English and Spanish. It was produced by the Heatmakerz, who have worked with popular rappers like Jadakiss and 50 Cent. “Hey Ma” was a commercial success, charting at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching Gold status. It was also featured in the 2004 movie “Mean Girls” during a scene where the characters dance at a club.
