The Notorious B. I. G./Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, mothafuckas better know
I'm a bad bad bad
Lock your windows, close your doors
Biggie Smalls

My man Inf left a TEC and a 9 at my crib
Turned his self in, he had to do a bid
A 1-to-3, he be home the end of '93
I'm ready to get this paper, G: you with me?

Motherfucking right, my pockets looking kinda tight
And I'm stressed
Yo, Biggie let me get the vest

No need for that, just grab the fucking gat
The first pocket that's fat, the TEC is to his back
Word is bond, I'ma smoke him, yo, don't fake no moves (what?)
Treat it like boxing, stick and move, stick and move

Nigga, you ain't got to explain shit
I've been robbing motherfuckas since the slave ships
With the same clip and the same .45
Two point blank, a motherfucker sure to die
That's my word, nigga even try to bogart
Have his mother singing, "it's so hard"

Yes, love, love your fucking attitude
Because the nigga play pussy, that's the nigga that's getting screwed
And bruised up from the pistol whipping
Welts on the neck from the necklace stripping
Then I'm dipping up the block and I'm robbing bitches too
Up the herringbones and bamboos
I wouldn't give a fuck if you're pregnant
Give me the baby rings and the #1 Mom pendant

I'm slamming niggas like Shaquille, shit is real
When it's time to eat a meal, I rob and steal
'Cause mom dukes ain't giving me shit
So for the bread and butter I leave niggas in the gutter
Huh, word to mother, I'm dangerous
Crazier than a bag of fucking angel dust
When I bust my gat, mothafuckas take dirt naps
I'm all that, and a dime sack, where the paper at?

When he's sticking you and taking all of your money

Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
(What's mines is mines and what's yours is mine)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
(What's mines is mines and what's yours is mine)

Big up, big up, it's a stick up, stick up
And I'm shooting niggas quick if ya hiccup
Don't let me fill my clip up in ya back and headpiece
The opposite of peace, sending mom duke a wreath
You're talking to the robbery expert
Step into your wake with your blood on my shirt
Don't be a jerk and get smoked over being resistant
'Cause when I lick shots, them shits is persistent

Goodness gracious, the papers!
Where the cash at? Where the stash at?
Nigga pass that
Before you get your grave dug from the main thug .357 slug
And my nigga Biggie got a itchy one grip

One in the chamber, thirty-two in the clip
Motherfuckas better strip, (yeah nigga, peel)
Before you find out how blue steel feel

From the Beretta, putting all the holes in ya sweater
The money-getter, motherfuckas don't know better
Rolex watches and colorful Swatches
I'm digging in pockets, motherfuckas can't stop it

Man niggas come through I'm taking high school rings too
Bitches get strangled for their earrings and bangles
And when I rock her and drop her, I'm taking her doorknockers
And if she's resistant, blakka, blakka, blakka

So go get your man bitch, he can get robbed too

Tell him Biggie took it, what the fuck he gonna do?
Man I hope apologetic or I'm a have to set it
And if I set it, the cocksucker won't forget it

Hey bitch, hey bitch, gimme your money bitch (when he's sticking you and taking all your money)

Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
(What's mines is mines and what's yours is mine)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
(What's mines is mines and what's yours is mine)

Man listen, all this walking is hurting my feet
Ooh money looks sweet

Where?

In the Isuzu jeep

Man, I throw him in the fiend you grab the fucking cream
And if he start to scream, bom bom, have a nice dream
Hold up, he got a fucking bitch in the car
Fur coats and diamonds, she think she a superstar

Ooh Biggie let me jack her, I'll kick her in the back
Hit her with the gat

Yo chill shorty, let me do that
Just get the fucking car keys and cruise up the block
The bitch act shocked getting shot on the spot

Oh shit the cops

Be cool, fool
They ain't gonna roll up, all they want is fucking doughnuts

So why the fuck he keep looking?

I guess to get his life tooken
I just came home, ain't trying to see central booking
Oh shit, now he looking in my face
You better haul ass cause I ain't with no fucking chase
So lace up your boots, 'cause I'm about to shoot
A true motherfucka going out for the loot





Take that motherfuckers

Overall Meaning

In the song Gimme The Loot, The Notorious B.I.G. portrays himself as a dangerous and ruthless street criminal who robs and steals to make money. He starts the song by warning others to lock their windows and close their doors, implying that he's on the prowl. The song is a dialogue between two different voices, both belonging to Biggie, representing the dual-sided personality of a criminal. He boasts about his skills as a robber, describing how he has been doing this since the time of slave ships. He then proceeds to detail how he intimidates and robs his victims using violence, and he also includes a reference to his friend, Inf, who had left his TEC and 9 guns with Biggie before turning himself in for a 1-to-3-year jail term.


The lyrics of Gimme The Loot are full of profanity and violent themes. Biggie talks about how he doesn't give a damn whether the woman he's robbing is pregnant or not, and he's willing to use force to get what he wants. He even threatens to kill those who resist him, urging them to be submissive and hand over the money. The song portrays the criminal underground and the lifestyle of those who operate outside of the system, emphasizing the harsh realities faced by those living on the margins of society.

Don't make me load my gun and shoot you in the back and head


The opposite of peace, sending mom duke a wreath
This will be the opposite of peace, causing sorrow for your mother

You're dealing with someone skilled in theft and hold-ups


Step into your wake with your blood on my shirt
I'll attend your funeral with your blood staining my clothing


Don't be a jerk and get smoked over being resistant
Don't act foolish and get killed for resisting

Before I shoot you with a .357 caliber bullet and bury you


And my nigga Biggie got a itchy one grip
And my friend Biggie has an itchy trigger finger


One in the chamber, thirty-two in the clip
One bullet ready to be fired, thirty-two more in the magazine


Motherfuckas better strip, (yeah nigga, peel)
People better undress and give up their belongings


Before you find out how blue steel feel
Before you experience the pain of being shot by a gun

From my Beretta pistol, creating bullet holes in your sweater


The money-getter, motherfuckas don't know better
The one who obtains money, fools don't understand

When guys pass by, I'll steal their high school rings as well


Bitches get strangled for their earrings and bangles
Women get choked so I can take their earrings and bangles

In the Isuzi jeep

Fur coats and diamonds, she think she a superstar
Wearing luxurious fur coats and diamonds, she believes she's a celebrity


Ooh Biggie let me jack her, I'll kick her in the back
Oh Biggie, let me rob her, I'll kick her in the back

Just take the car keys and drive away quickly


The bitch act shocked getting shot on the spot
The woman will be surprised when she is shot right away


Oh shit the cops
Oh no, the police


Be cool, fool
Stay calm, you fool


They ain't gonna roll up, all they want is fucking doughnuts
They won't approach, all they're interested in is eating doughnuts


So why the fuck he keep looking?
So why is he still watching us?


I guess to get his life tooken
I suppose he wants to risk his life


I just came home, ain't trying to see central booking
I just got out of prison, I don't want to go back


Oh shit, now he looking in my face
Oh no, now he's staring directly at me


You better haul ass cause I ain't with no fucking chase
You better run away quickly because I don't want to be pursued


So lace up your boots, 'cause I'm about to shoot
Prepare yourself, because I'm about to shoot


A true motherfucka going out for the loot
A genuine person going out to get money


Take that motherfuckers
Take that, you bastards
