Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it my cars, is it my clothes
That make these ho's want fuck fo' sho
Is it my style the way I roll
That makes these haters want hate some mo'
Is it that fifth that I drink, when
I'm in my whip wit the fresh ass paint
Want look at my face
An make these niggas
Wan be at my place
Or tell me is it my shirt,
That cost three hundred
That make me have to go to heaven with a gun,
Gone make a nigga hate my mommas son
Maybe it's my style, this the way I come
Or maybe its these ho's
That I've done be's
Maybe is yo sista or yo niece
Or how I rock my boes wit no crease
Or how I'm just so throwed and off the leash or
Tell me is it these shoes on my feet,
An how they matchin my fists so perfectly
That make a hata wanna
Go about they way on me
Nigga I don't even you, want to hate on me
[Repeat x2]
Is it my cars is it my clothes
That make these ho's want fuck fo' sho
Is It my style the way I roll
That makes these haters want hate some mo'
Is it my bitch? If it is which one
Moly bitch up in the city
Or the one in the country
O how a nigga so hot numba one
In the country, ever since I did it big
Big money big stuntin'
Or is it my nigga that ? Bun be,
Y'all don't like hearing me
With the UG Kings or
Tell me is it my looks,
That make you ho's scream
And how every mouth all witten want suck on me,
Or tell me is it that screen
As you see inside,
When I be high rollin by
Let me cop one ride
Or tell me is it my style how I'm just so fly
Now a nigga so wow plus I'm on right now
Tell me is it my hood,
How that bitch rode
365/24 wit them quarters and ho's
Or how I holla at my people
Befo they get you some mo'
Handalin' Bentleys with the
People to avoid them folks
[Repeat x2]
Is it my cars is it my clothes
That make these ho's want fuck fo' sho
Is It my style the way I roll
That makes these haters want hate some mo'
Is it my cake, or my bundles of crack
Or how I made this here whip
Mannie Fresh on the track
Or is it the platinum plaque
I'm about to snatch
Cause you know I signed a deal
And it my turn to act
Go put them big 24's
And that brand new Lac
The song "What It Is" by Webbie is a reflection on his success and the envy that comes with it. He questions whether it is his cars, clothes, style, or possessions that attract attention and whether it is his talent or hard work that is being overlooked. The chorus repeats the question of what it is about him that draws so much attention, whether it is positive or negative. He also acknowledges that there are people who are just haters and will always hate on him regardless of what he does.
Webbie then talks about the various aspects of his life that he thinks might be responsible for the attention he receives. He mentions his cars, clothes, style, and his tendency to drink and have fun in his car. He also talks about his looks, his significant other, his music, and how he handles his business. He questions if these are the things that people are drawn to and envying or if it is something else entirely.
In essence, the song is a reflection of the challenges that come with fame and success. It speaks to the feelings of paranoia and insecurity that come with people constantly paying attention to your every move. Webbie's contemplation of what makes him stand out can be seen as a cautionary tale for anyone aspiring to fame and success, as it highlights the reality that there are always people who will envy and hate on you regardless of how you conduct yourself.

One night me and my buddy Guerrero were club hopping and he played this song and kept making him play it over and over. This was 11 years ago. I never got the name of the song.... Well 2 night ago my neighbor had a party and at 5am I woke up out of a dead sleep, jumped out of bed grabbed my phone and turned on my Google speaker and the song immediately came up on my screen... I keep playing it over and over. Thanks Webbie. From Debbie
