Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What the deally, yo? (What?)
I gotta squeeze the juice outta the headphones
(Jadakiss, L-O-X)
Yeah (L-O-X)
Yeah, squeeze the juice outta the headphones
Yo, yo, yo (uh, come on)

When you think of me you think of a problem
Who? What? When? And how you gonna solve 'em
Automatic or revolver
The K I double S and, here's the lesson
Most beams is infrared, but mine's is fluorescent
No matter where you go, I'ma spot you (uh-huh)
No matter how many people you put me in front of, I'ma rock you
And if you try to be the hard top, I'm gon' drop you
I got to, treat you like the clutch and pop you (uh)
Creep threw, in the 4-20 with your honey (uh-huh)
'cause you ain't nothin' but a playboy that turned bunny (yeah)
And the only the thing left to discuss is more money
And these bullshit games these chickens try to run me (uh)
Ya'll know ya'll can't touch us (uh-uh), I flow lucious
It's so real I make her hop out and get the Dutches
I'm sittin' on a thousand birds and I hide from the cameras (why?)
'Cause a picture's, worth a thousand words
Ain't ya'll heard? Ya'll get what ya'll deserved (yeah)
Ya'll do the caterin', while we just get served (uh-huh)
And you got some nerve, for P-Hin' Jason
do you have any idea who you facin'?
Just somethin' about my shit, you'll never figure out
It's too hot, burnin' my mouth, that's why I spit it out
It must be, real hard for ya'll to listen
And it's sad, niggas is too broke to pay attention

Chillin', sittin' on about half a million
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women (uh-huh) (uh-huh)
Next two years I should see about a billion (come on)
All for the love of drug dealin' (uh) (drug dealin', yeah)
Chillin', sittin' on about half a million (I know, uh, uh, uh)
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women (uh)
Next two years I should see about a billion (yo) (come on)
All for the love of drug dealin' (yo, yo, yo, yo)

Ayy, yo, niggas know the line of work, bullet proof designer shirt
Rollin' with a China doll, she'll be remindin' ya'll
Don of the underworld, every block monitored of course (yeah, yeah)
Jadakiss an L-O-X boss (uh-huh)
A pro 'cause I grow off the shit that I absorb (uh-huh)
You just another so and so, tryna flow, goin' broke
We tryna buy property, set it up for growin' coke
Niggas makin' a movie, so I came to edit
Wipin' everybody out, right before the credits
I'm a hard guy to get along with, get on a song with
When shit be goin' right, I flip into the wrong shit
The prime artist, expect me to rhyme hardest
Slash con artist, gon' get mine regardless
I ain't even big and I size niggas up (uh-huh)
'cause they eyes give 'em up, look at 'em and see they butt
I'm twenty-two with ten ends, so there that go
You hear that flow? It drove the underground wacko (damn)
Every since 12 I've been spittin' like tobacco
Relax though, pop the tape CD and the wax though
They wonder how, but the thing about ours, we open up twenty-four hours (uh-huh)
Niggas don't sleep with eat so when they speak it mean power
So you should keep quiet, you a coward (coward)
About to be laid out flat, and pushin' up flowers (uh)

Chillin', sittin' on about half a million
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women (that's right)
Next two years I should see about a billion
All for the love of drug dealin' (drug dealin', yeah)
Chillin', sittin' on about half a million (half a million)
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women (yeah)
Next two years I should see about a billion (billion)
All for the love of drug dealin' (drug dealin', yeah)
Chillin', sittin' on about half a million
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women
Next two years I should see about a billion
All for the love of drug dealin' (money, power, respect)
Chillin', sittin' on about half a million (yeah)
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women (uh-huh)




Next two years I should see about a billion (billion)
All for the love of drug dealin'
