walk the walk
The Eight Ball Lyrics

It's ya boy, David Banner
Introducing the artist David Banner

I'ma see if I can bring the gangsta walk back
Attempting to revive the gangsta walk dance style

Memphis, Mississipi, everybody from the South
Referencing the geographic origins of the artist and audience

Let's walk!
Encouraging the audience to participate in the dance style

Gon' gangsta walk, gon' do it, motherfucker
Encouraging the audience to proceed with the gangsta walk dance

Buck jump, motherfucker, buck jump, ya bitch
Encouraging a specific dance move called the buck jump

We represent Memphis, 'Sippi
Proudly representing Memphis and Mississippi

And I don't think y'all really wanna get wit me
Warning the audience against challenging the artist

We started gangsta walkin', nigga, now no MC Hammer
Claiming ownership of the gangsta walk dance style while contrasting it with MC Hammer's dance style

Just a really dealy, get you hyper than hype
Describing the intense energy generated by the dance style

No cut or no arm 'n' hammer
Disassociating the artist from drug use with a pun on the brand names of household products

Slam a hater to the flo', stomp 'em all on in dat hole
Expressing a violent attitude towards detractors and enemies

Mean as hell on dat liquor, meaner than dat on that blow
Boasting a high tolerance for alcohol and drugs

So don't push me, motherfucker, push me motherfucker, push
Threatening anyone who confronts the artist

I'm affiliated wit more terrorists than G Bush, bitch!
Claiming connections to powerful and controversial figures

We got them niggaz gettin' wild, gettin' buck, havin' fist
Noting the audience's enthusiasm for the dance style and associated activities

Put a bottle in their hand, put a blunt to their lips
Describing the party scene associated with the dance style

Gangsta walkin' in da club, err'body gon' piss
Highlighting the contagious and competitive nature of the dance style

And da hoes on the corner workin' graveyard shift
Acknowledging the presence of sex workers in urban areas

Yeah, they call me the juice from that north north set
Referencing the artist's nickname and geographic affiliation

Where they rob for the folks and they divvy up the net
Suggesting the existence of illegal and violent activities in the artist's community

Ain't no talkin', fuck some talkin', we gon' shoot 'em in they chest
Advocating a confrontational and violent approach to conflict resolution

If a coward wanna jump, it's gon' be a bloody mess, bitch!
Warning against cowardly and violent behavior by others

Now we can get it buck in da club
Continuing the party atmosphere of the lyrics

With niggaz I suggest you tuck yo' chain
Advising against flaunting expensive jewelry in a dangerous setting

Fuck security, find out they can't do a thang
Dismissing the efficacy of venue security measures

Out the frame pussy nigga, you too soft, push you off me
Challenging anyone who appears weak or cowardly to the artist

Stompin' hoes to the flo' and never scared to pop heat
Boasting an aggressive and violent attitude towards women and firearms

Ah, hammer on your bird, on the chest, don't talk shit tonight
Threatening to use a firearm on someone's girlfriend or wife if challenged

Ain't no thang to bust yo' head and start a fight
Promoting a violent and aggressive approach to conflict resolution

Like bitch, what's up now? North Mississippi in this bastard
Asserting the artist's dominance and geographic affiliation

Fuck around my nizzle and get your whole body plastered
Warning of the artist's violent potential

I remember the wall trick, if you got some manner
Recalling a dance move called the wall trick while challenging others to match the artist's skill

Gangsta walk yo' ass over here pumpin' to Banner
Encouraging the audience to dance to the artist's music

Yeah! It'll be fabulous if you leave
Sarcastically suggesting that someone should leave to avoid conflict with the artist

'cause I'm tryin' to stomp your body till yo' ass can't breathe
Promising a violent and painful physical assault

Left foot, right foot, swingin' both from yo' fist
Describing the physical movements of the gangsta walk dance style

You better keep it movin' yo' weak ass might get hit
Warning against standing still or appearing vulnerable in a dangerous setting

Kids don't count when you buck back too hard
Advocating reckless and violent behavior without considering innocent bystanders

Get ready to finish anything that you start
Encouraging persistence and determination in confrontational situations

Straight from the mound, boys, better not clown
Asserting the artist's power and authority in his community

I got eighty-five niggaz wit me represent the town
Bringing attention to the artist's large and loyal following

Two hundred automatic Uzi's wit atomic armed clips
Boasting a large and powerful arsenal of guns

Make you boys take them paper pep poppers of your hip
Encouraging others to relinquish their weapons out of fear

Young pimp smoke weed, don't stoke, might sip
Being open about drug use and a laid-back lifestyle

Four-fifths with a bunch of hollow tips in the whip
Referencing a specific type of firearm and ammunition while boasting about possessing them

I'm pimp tight MGJ, you can look at my resume
Asserting confidence and authority based on past accomplishments

Never been a trick, neva eva played
Claiming a reputation for never being taken advantage of or disrespected

Yea, hot ass, South Side, dick up in yo' muthafuckin mouth, nigga
Making a vulgar and threatening remark directed at an assumed enemy

South Side till I die, Mississippi, weak bitch
Expressing loyalty to the artist's hometown and disparaging others as weak

This hot shit by David Banner
Claiming ownership of the current song being performed

You ain't gotta go nowhere nigga
Addressing the audience and encouraging them to stay and enjoy the performance

I'm up in this city, you can find me nigga
Announcing the artist's presence and accessibility in the current location

You ain't gotta front like it's hard, bitch boy, yea
Challenging anyone who appears tough or threatening to the artist
