The trap hot, it's on fire
Either way a nigga like a busy b play
I run my hood, no marathon
Took off for a minute now I'm back on
Them bass bigger, my trez longer
My niggas' rhythm, my weed stronger
Fuck a backpack, that bodybuilder
Money talks, I don't fuck with niggas

Ha ha ha ha

You been undressed, you ain't got swag
You a walkin rapper, you a signed artist
Got my own label, fuck these niggas
Play the middle finger on my diary
She in the gang banger so it's fuck a peezy
Wiped cream say I ain't talkin money
I keep 1 K, yo nigga transport to my old ways
Keep black doors on me like OJ
I'm turnt up off no drugs
You turnt that, you get no luck
Blow the energy so I'm in the cloud
Actin wild, they know I go hard,
Bitch I'm good with ya'll
One phone call, send them killers at you
That's speed dial, house visit 10 years
At the same time Joey beat his murder trial
All the count, that's upon the soldiers
Still collecting opinions, I'm a humble nigga
Never join forces, make my own way
I keep date, no birthday
Fuck a off day competition
I eliminate from the street laws
Don't litigate, I delegate, you follow
I'm own my own shit you, you borrow
Last nigga tried to rob me got shot now he sue me for a half a mill

That's real shit, Big Homie Flock

Overall Meaning

In the song "Big Homie Flock," Waka Flocka Flame speaks about his success in the rap game and the street life in which he comes from. The lyrics "The trap hot, it's on fire. Either way a nigga like a busy b play," refers to the trap house or drug dealing spot being heavily active and how those within the trap can be highly productive as if they were a busy "b." Running his hood with no marathon signifies how he's always been in control of his territory and that he's not one to back down. The reference to bass being bigger and trez (presumably referring to his vehicle's subwoofers) being longer, shows how his reputation and influence have grown over time. Flocka Flame also makes it clear that he doesn't need a backpack, symbolizing that he doesn't have to transport his own drugs or hold possessions for someone else. Finally, he ends the verse saying "Money talks, I don't fuck with niggas," emphasizing how his wealth separates him from those without.

The next verse starts by calling out another artist, stating "You been undressed, you ain't got swag." He recognizes himself as a signed artist who has started his own label, distancing himself from those who have yet to reach his level of success. He talks about his gang affiliation, "She in the gang banger so it's fuck a peezy," showing that he doesn't care about anyone who is not in his crew. When he says "Wiped cream say I ain't talkin money," he's implying that he only talks about things that are profitable. Continuing with his braggadocious style, he raps, "One phone call, send them killers at you. That's speed dial, house visit 10 years." This line shows the consequence of disrespecting or crossing him, and how seriously he takes it. He also mentions how he doesn't have a birthday, probably referring to how he doesn't hold such celebrations as he's always in the streets. The last few lines are a direct message to his peers, stating that he doesn't work with anyone else and that he's always been his own boss.
