So I’m in the Corolla, windows down (the 3 that work), blaring my 50 Cent album at maximum volume as to allow everyone to know that I am, in fact, quite the baller, when I realize that these lyrics are really the story of my own life.
As a middle-class, white suburbanite, I really identify with every words that 50 is “spitting” here. It was actually the track “Ski Mask Way” that made me come to this profound conclusion:
“You wanna spray at me? Go head The last nigga that tried Got hit, keeled over, and bled 'til he died”
Yeah, that’s right, I wouldn’t spray at Brendan McHenry either. I mean, I remember this one time that a guy accidentally bumped into me with his shopping cart at the local A&P, and let me tell you, I made a terse comment in his general direction. It was something like “I hate when people don’t watch where they’re going.” I’m pretty sure he heard me, and he might not have “bled ‘til he died”, but I bet he thought long and hard about how he pushed that thing around from then on.
"Whos dat peepin in my window Wow The feds on me now They know when im sleepin They know when im wake"
I KNOW!!! I am so sick of those assholes. Every little po-po motherfucker sees me in the Corolla and just assumes that I’m up to no good, runnin' game or something, that’s bullshit! I am soooo tired of having to keep the blinds down all day long cause the feds are trying to “peep” in my window. How’s a guy supposed to whack off with a telescoping lens all in his grill?!
Don't let the orange safety plug fool you.
"I holla at A-I peoples to get gats They charged me 500 a piece for two macs Then I'm back doin me I'm back out on a spree"
I am feeling you on this, Fifty!! 500 a piece?! What the fuck?! I remember back in the day a man could get a nice mac for 300, tops. It’s so hard to find a decent deal on a “gat” nowadays. I mean I went to the Wal-Mart the other day and they wanted $40 for a pellet gun! $40!!! Thing didn’t even have CO2, it was a pump-action, for fuck's sake! How am I supposed to get “back out on a spree”, or shoot squirrels off of the bird feeder, if my “gat” is costing me that much friggin' money?!
"Catch me n' niggas slippin out pumpin dat D Give me a lil' crew I'll have 'em pumpin for me The more product I take the more paper we see"
Yeah. Uh, not exactly sure what this one means. If the ‘D’ in “pumpin dat D” means “domestic labor” then we are right on the same page here. I’m pretty sure that’s what it means. Because, I mean, I bust my ass doing stuff like mowing lawns and cleaning attics, and I’m fairly certain that if I had a “crew” that was “pumpin” for me, I’d be able to do like, 10 times as much stuff. And that would really lead to me seeing a much larger deal of “paper”.
So 50, if you’re reading, here’s what I’m thinking- collabo’. You, me, we hit the “lab” hard and make some seriously fly shit. I have got this wicked rhyme I wrote about this one time that I was waiting in line at the DMV for, like, an hour…let me tell you, I wanted to start cappin’ bitches. I think B-Money would be a good stage name, but you know, I’m not married to it or anything so we can work on it.
I think it’ll be sick. See if Dre wants in, cause I can really see him working on this project. Call me.
"Tell 'em to B the F off!" Posted: 6/9/2005by: Richard Man, forget these "Bee-YOTCHES comin' up in here" who think this is stupid. I lauged my ass off reading this. But I'm also high as a "Muh-Fukkin"" kite. Maybe I'll come back later and "rizzo this bizzo, lizzo?"
Peace. Aight?
"R" Grammar Posted: 6/9/2005by: Cunning Linguist Reminder: "Your" is an adjective. The possessive form of "you." "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are."
I think what you meant to say is: "You're an idiot, and this is stupid," which in this case is true.
Unless of course you were trying to appear "cooler" by doing your part in the senseless slaughter of the English language. Your apathy and/or ignorance intrigues me.

Posted: 6/9/2005by: Laziejim Way to plug your own Blog on Phat Phree...I'm sorry your Blog does not get as much traffic as, say, a blog which gives up to the minute details on how quickly the paint in some dude basement is drying, but please keep the advertising off the comments here. B Money Posted: 6/9/2005by: Z Money Damn Dog, how you gonna bite my name? Funny shit though, I always thought FiTTY was really speaking to the Suburbs anyway. He Just uses the slang and stories from the street as an allegory for life in the 'burbs. It's genius really.
