Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Hook: Rich Homie Quan]
I said that I’mma ride for my motherfuckin' nigga
Most likely I’mma die with my finger on the trigger
I’ve been grindin outside all day with my niggas
And I ain’t goin' in unless I’m with my niggas
My nigga, my nigga
My nigga, my nigga (My muthafucking niggas!)
My nigga, my nigga (My nigga, my nigga)
My nigga, my nigga

[Verse 1: YG]
First thing's first I love all my niggas
This rap shit cracked and I involve my niggas
You lookin' for some lean, lemme call my nigga
He sell it for the high, I need all mines nigga
Some niggas smoke smoke, some niggas drink drank
Got niggas on the block with the Glock that don't think
I said, "that's a nigga back up," they in a bucket lapped up
I got to act right if you niggas wanna act up
He talkin' like a snitch no, that ain’t my nigga
He trippin' off a bitch no, that ain’t my nigga
Take a nigga case, yeah that’s my nigga
Know him since I was eight, yeah that’s my nigga
Fucked my first bitch, passed her to my nigga
Hit my first lick, passed with my nigga
Fuck them other niggas cause I’m down for my niggas
I ride for my niggas, fuck them other niggas

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Young Jeezy]
Just know I'm down with the niggas down for me
I got two words for you, love and loyalty
It was me and my nigga, trippin' on a half a B
Then We used to hit a mall and buy everything we see
Me and my down ass nigga get twisted
Nigga get to trippin', knock the gravy out your biscuit
Just know I fucked with you the long way, my nigga
So when I see you out I’m like, "Hey, my nigga!"
Drink that act right by the case, my niggas
Drink that act right and get straight with my niggas
Me and my nigga ridin' dirty trynna chase them figures
Who got the yopper, who got the yola? Don’t matter, go figure

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Rich Homie Quan]
My nigga got cake, my nigga got weight
My nigga fronted me, he the reason I’m straight
My nigga got a house, my nigga got a lake
My nigga we eatin', my nigga get a plate
And we're still hittin' licks, my nigga, my nigga
Runnin' off a nigga shit, my nigga, my nigga
I fucked a nigga bitch with my nigga, my nigga
If a nigga talkin' shit then he ain’t my nigga
My nigga, my nigga (My nigga, my nigga)
YG my nigga and I ain’t goin' in, ain't trynna leave my niggas
Shawty seein' me and want to leave with a nigga
But it wasn't enough room cause I came with my niggas
My niggas, my niggas
I need a set of wings cause I’m too fly, nigga
And I’m all about my business like a suit and tie nigga
I ride for my niggas (Believe that)

[Hook]

[Outro]
My nigga, my nigga
My nigga, my nigga




My nigga, my nigga
Yeah...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "My Nigga" by YG, featuring Young Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan, revolve around the bond between the artists and their trusted friends or 'niggas.' The hook declares their undying loyalty to each other, implying that they will stick together no matter what. YG affirms his commitment to all his niggas and how he involves them in his music career. He also mentions that one of his niggas provides lean, and he needs them all to get his due. He speaks of the different personalities amongst his niggas, some who use guns while others sell drugs. However, he must act right if they're going together. Jeezy also affirms his downness with his niggas and the two of the term love and loyalty as their guiding principles. RHQ talks of a particular nigga who fronted him, gave him a home, and ensures that they eat together. They ride together, hit licks together and move as a unit, making them each other's niggas.


The song's lyrics, presented from the perspective of the rappers, utilize derogatory language yet speaks to the depth of the relationships between the artists and their trusted friends. The reality is that the deeply flawed term nigga conveys powerful feelings among marginalized groups. It is a term that has been reclaimed and mightily embraced by the black community to signify a bond that transcends differences, just as in this song. "My Nigga" becomes more than just a slang term, but a symbol of brotherhood and solidarity amongst people who have been oppressed based on race.
