Theodore Unit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, ya'll (uh-huh) I would like to make a little announcement (whooo)
Knowwhatimsayin'? We got Theodore in the building (ya'll get ready)
Straight up and down (yeah) First up to bat (enjoy your classic)
Introducing (yeah) the one and only (whooo)
The magnificent (you know who it is)
Trife Diesel, nigga (yeah, come on) yo
Aiyo, I'm sort of like a water pipe, I'm ready to blow
In a pair of three-fourth quarter Nike's, the color of snow
Listen here, sun, duel with my goons'll run through ya
For a little bit of change and exchange for some buddha
Heat movers, and they barely speak like preschoolers
And they hug the block all day, with them see-Rulers
Young niggas, ready and willing to clack them thangs
Straight out the nest, they just learned how to flap they wings
Now, all you niggas better pause for a sec
Know your claws run eject, when Theodore's on the set
Trife Da God, but for now on, just call me the barber
'cause my hands they go to work like Antonio Tarber
Fuck shakin', my word got the fiends vibratin'
I ain't playin' fair this year, niggas is violatin'
I'm about to spaz out and start passin' out citations
'cause niggas left the hood for good, now they high maintenance
You ain't gotta know the name of my band, but this flame in my hand'll
Put a quick somethin', change through your plans
Snatch you off stage, while you entertainin' the fans
And I don't show favoritism, do the same to your man, what
[Chorus 2X: Trife Da God]
These niggas frontin' on wax
Don't make me push your shit back
In the hoods, ya'll don't pump like that
You'll get your shit pushed right back
[Kryme Life]
You know the kid got his weight up, now I'm tippin' the scale
I gotta eat, and my appetite is large as a whale
Got little niggas talkin' big shit, knowin' they frail
Fuck the rest, we the most, fresh niggas and steal
And I'm about to ring a lot of your bells, I'm at your doorstep
Grippin' the iron, bullets flyin' outta them shells
You think I'm lion, then ya'll niggas is gazelles
And I talkin' bout glasses, son, I'm on your asses
Put a hole in the back of your neck, right where your tag is
Slabs is like luggage, look how heavy my bags is
The ave, I'mma flood it, it's my time to cash in
Money good for the gettin', targets good for the hittin'
Blaow, me and Trife in the kitchen, cuttin' the mixing style
And no compares, to nothing, that ain't offici-al
Kryme, I got my stamp on it, got you amped on it
And I know what's gonna go, soon as I put my hands on it
None of ya'll mans want it, whether we on the corners
Or performin', battlin' with mics or straight warrin'
[Outro: Solomon Childs]
Whoooo... ahhh.. S. Child, Theodore Unit
The movie, you muthafucka
The song Right Back by Theodore Unit is a hip-hop track that boasts about the group's street cred with lines such as, "In the hoods, you don't pump like that, you'll get your sh*t pushed right back." The song features Trife Da God and Kryme Life, who both talk about their readiness to fight and the violence they're willing to use to protect their territory. Trife Da God uses clever lines with a mix of metaphors to describe his style, comparing himself to "a water pipe, ready to blow." Then he goes on to talk about how he's ready to react violently at any time because they're not playing fair this year. Kryme Life, on the other hand, raps about the weight he's gained since hustling and how he's going to put it to use on anyone who comes at him.
Overall, the song is a display of bravado and toughness that's common in the world of hip-hop. It's a classic example of the genre and shows how artists use language to create a persona that's larger than life. The message is clear: don't mess with Theodore Unit because they will push back even harder.

[Intro: Trife Da God (Solomon Childs)]
Theodore Unit is here, introducing Trife Da God
Aiyo, I'm sort of like a water pipe, I'm ready to blow
I am a ticking bomb in the form of a water pipe
In a pair of three-fourth quarter Nike's, the color of snow
I am wearing white sneakers that are a little below the knee
Listen here, sun, duel with my goons'll run through ya
If you challenge me or my crew, you're going down
For a little bit of change and exchange for some buddha
We will take you down for a little bit of money and weed
Young niggas, ready and willing to clack them thangs
These young guys are ready to use their guns
Trife Da God, but for now on, just call me the barber
I am the God of barbers, getting rid of any competition
I ain't playin' fair this year, niggas is violatin'
I am not playing by the rules and will take action against those who cross me
I'm about to spaz out and start passin' out citations
I am going to go crazy and start handing out punishments
In the hoods, ya'll don't pump like that
You're not that tough in the hood
You'll get your shit pushed right back
If you mess with us, you will get hit back just as hard
Got little niggas talkin' big shit, knowin' they frail
Young guys talking tough but aren't really that strong
Money good for the gettin', targets good for the hittin'
Money is easy to make, and we have plenty of targets to hit
And no compares, to nothing, that ain't offici-al
Nobody can compare to us, and anything else is not official
The movie, you muthafucka
It's a movie, you motherfucker
